Mc- Kinley, the Republican nominee for Governor, is opposed to a fight on the Bull Moose ticket which was filed here Tuesday with Secretary of State Roach for fear of making the situa- tion which confronts his party worse. He is willing to let the nominees go on the ballot it is said, for fear that the national Progressives, if their candidates rejected by the Supreme Court, in their anger, would turn to the Democratic party and vote straight from Wilson and Majordown. While the Republicans have given up all hope of electing their ticket they are eager to have the Demorcratic plural- ity be as small as possible to keep their party alive. Whether or not the wishes which are credited to McKinley are carried out depends upon the State Gommit- tee, which will meet in a few days HARVEY CLARK A - MAJOR GENERAL Popular N. G. M.

Subject September 22, ‘‘Matter.”’ Sparks Electric. Electric News Service. A vacuum cleaning street car is in use in Strassburg, Germany. Passenger cars are now kept spick and span with electric vacuum clean- ers. The Swiss railway is to have sev- eral of the most powerful electric locomotives in Europe. The outlying stations in northern Siberia are now in wireless commun- ication with Vladivostok.] Electric flash signs for advertising purposes have been installed on the sides of electric trucks. It is anticipated that Berlin, Ger- many, will soon be in wireless speak- ing distance with New York. Storm warnings are now sent to sea by wireless so that vessels may be prepared for violent changes in the weather. The pulmotor, an electrical device for resuscitating persons overcome by gas, electricity or drowning, has already saved hundreds of lives. The Hamburg-American steam- ships are to be equipped with 80,000 candle horsepower searchlights simi- lar to those in use on the German Warships. The New York Edison Company supplies current to 160,000 meters. It nightly lights the equivalent to ten million incandescent lamps. The average man dissipates about about 25 kilowatt-hours of energy a day in motion, muscular action, men- tal exertion and heat radiation. This is equivalent to a continuous expen- diture at the rate of about one hun- dred watts or the rating of a 1-8 horse power motor. In spite of his high body temperature—98.6 degrees Fahrenheit—and large radiating sur- face, man’s heat losses are surpris- ingly small—about fifty watthours an hour, or about one half of the total energy expenditure. As a heating device the average man is thus about equal to a 16 .candle-power carbon filament lamp. 34 Head Live Stock, Corn and Grass for Sale.

Minus a Spinal Column Speaking of political wonders, what shall we say of the Governor of a State who appears before his party’s platform convention to make an ad- dress with the distinct understanding that no effort, shall be made to com- pel him to declare himself as to sup- port of his party’s candidate for the presidency, and finishes leaving his hearers in utter darkness as to his position? When Dame Fate designed Mr. Hadley she was evidently very short of flint lime and other resistant and bone-forming materials.
