[ o INGI3T5 LIQUOR GASE BE THIED Judge Ellsworth Re- fuses to Drop Ache- son Charge. . Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Jan. 17. Notwithstanding a request of the citi- zens' committee of Berkeley and the will- ingness of AssiStant District Attorney Samuels, Judge Ellsworth to-day denied a motion to dismiss the case of W. J. Acheson, accused of violating the law re- lative to selling liquor within a mile of the State University. The Berkeley citizens' committee has acted as special prosecutors of the viola- tion of the mile-limit law. Upon the promise of Acheson henceforth to refrain frem selling liquor the committee was willing to dismiss the case, but Judge Elsworth would not acquiesce. Acheson was convicted of violating the mile liquor law, but obtained a new trial on appeal. He must now stand trial a second time. In denying the motion to dismiss Judge Ellsworth said: “The law prohibiting the sale of liquor within a mile of the uni- versity is a good law. All good citizens should obey It. Because this defendant promises to obey the law in the future, it does not excuse him from past trans- gressions.” ——————— Mrs. Hearst Will Entertain.

It is a deplorable | fact that the silly and vicious practice of using profane language of the worst sort on any and all occasions seems to be on the increase among men of all ages and | classes, and particularly among young boys. Tt s only necessary to listen for a few moments to the casual conversation of boys and young men who congregate on the street corners and other public places to be aware of this. This practice is not only silly, but. viclous and degrading to the last degree, and parents, religious | leaders and teachers and all others who | have /an oversight and guidance of the young cannot too strongly reprobate and | digscourage the habit.

THE SEVERAL CLASSES OF POSTOFFICES Generally Known to the Public. “It is quite surprising the number of letters the Postoffice Department will re- ceive during the course of a year from all country making inquiry as t classes of postoffices; what they are; how they are advanced the salaries and postmasters in the dif- . and the process of ‘relegat- postoffices back to the r queries along this feren ing’ fou ble to give this information in a ict and comprehensive form. While there are three classes of presiden- tial postoffices the department in the preparation of its appointment papers di- vides all postoffices into but two classes— and fourth class, » who wish to know about classes and compensation of postoffices and of postmasters may paste the following few lines with advantage in their hats: “A presidential office is an office where the salary of the postmaster amounts to not less than $250 per quarter for four con- secutive quarters, and the gross receipts for the same time amount to $1%0. When an office has paid the above amount for ecutive quarters and the gross ave amounted to $1%0 or more it then advanced to the presidential class. A first- presidential office is one in which the gross receipts are over $40,000 per annum, the salary of the postmaster the same being from $3000 to $6000. A cond s office is one where the gross receipts amount to $5000 and not exceeding $40,000 per annum, the salary of the post- master of this class being from $§2000 to w0 per annum. A third-class office is one where the gross receipts are $1900 and not exceeding $500 per annum, the salary of the postmaster being from §1000 to §1900 receipts Fourth-class postoffices comprise all offices where the receipts are less than ) per annum, or where the compensa- \ of the postmaster does not amount to per quarter for four consecutive quar- ters. “Fourth-class postmasters are allowed as compensation the whole of the box collected at their offices and com- s on cancellations of matter actu- mailed at their offices, and on amounts received from waste paper, etc., sold as follows: On the first $50 or less per quarter, 100 per cent; on the next $100 or less per quarter, 60 per cent; on the/mext $200 or less per quarter, 0 per cemt, and on all the balance, 40 per cent, the same to be ascertained and allowed by the auditor for the Postoffice Department in the settlement of the accounts. “When a presidential postoffice falls to come up to the minimum standard under the rules it # ‘relegated’ to the fourth s. the postmaster's regular salary ceasing and official income becoming dependent upon his commissions. Thus seven presidential postoffices were rele- gated to the fourth class this past year, while thirty-seven fourth-class postoffices | were advanced to the presidential grade.” —Washington Star. e Effect of Altitude on the Blood. M. Gaule has communicated to the Paris Academy of Sciences the results of his experiments on the blood corpuscles at Kigh altitudes. Viaux and other observers noticed a great increase in the number of the red corpuscles of the blood. In the Cordilleras at an altitude of 4000 metres Viaux found 8,000,000 such corpuscles t@ the cubic millimetre. M. Gaule in a bal~ loon ascemsion found the same numbef) (8,000,000) of corpuscles at heights betweem 4000 to 5000 metres. MM. Tissot and Hafllon communicated their investigations on the physics and chemistry of respiration at altitudes vary- ing between 1330 and 4450 metres. It ap- pears that the chemical phenomena did not greatly change with changed alti- tudes. The respiratory rhythm was, how- ever, much modified. Although the total quantity of air entering the lungs was less at high altitudes, the rate of respira- tion was not sensibly increased. It thus appears that at high altitudes the air is purer and is also more completely used tian at lower.—New York Sun. ———— Distance of New Star in Perseus. The recent changes in the nebula sur- rounding the new star in Perseus and the measurements made upon the moving portions of the nebulosity give a basis for calculations of the distance, dimensions and brilliancy of the star system. The conclusions are, in brief, that the distance of the nmew star is such that its light would require about 250 years to reach the earth. The phenomena that we have wit- nessed took place about 20 years ago, and were contemporaneous with Oliver Cromwell's protectorate. If our own sun were to be removed to the dis- tance of the new star it would shine as a star of the tenth magnitude, that is, it would be just visible in a telescope hav- ing an object glass about three inches in diameter. When the new star was at its maximum brilllancy, it was about 10,000 imes as bright as our own sun. The the- ory upon which these results are based is given In Nature for January.—New York Sun. —_——— ' The newest idea for mitigating hay fever—a disease which seems to claim more victims every year in proportion to the population—is embodied in a small disc covered with wire gauze, which is Inserted in the nostrilss ~_
