# Kramer v. Union Free School District No. 15

Kramer v. Union School District, 395 U.S. 621 (1969) was a United States Supreme Court decision in which a childless bachelor living with his parents in the Union School District challenged Section 2012 of the New York Education Law which stated that voters for school district elections must own or lease taxable realty property in the district or be parents or custodians of one or more children enrolled in a public school local to the district. New York's argument was to limit the franchise to those primarily affected by education. Warning: template has been deprecated.

# Krakatit (review in Star-Phoenix)

Book review published on 5 December 1925
KRAKATIT
Krakatit is a most powerful explosive, a hundredweight of it would nearly blow this good old world to atoms. It is not named because of the vogue for words beginning with K, Krakatit for crack at it, but from the volcano Krakatoa, ashes from which the geography text-books tell us, drifted across the Pacific to San Francisco when it exploded in 1883. What happened when the only few grams of Krakatit in existence were stolen is the them of Karel Capek’s most extraordinary romance “Krakatit” (The MacMilan Company of Canada.)
Karel Capek is a most ingenious writer. His play R.U.R. made him famous. Here automatic men are made to perform the menial services of a future time. These robots come to life, however, and a crisis ensues. Karel Capet has recently been in England and his book of Impressions Letters from England, (Gundy), is one of uncanny insight and delightful naviete combined.
Prokop, the discoverer of Krakatit, is a remarkable man. He has a demonic face and he needs it for he has to go through two most critical illnesses, lose fingers in every other chapter, engage in itvely(illegible text) scraps iln(illegible text) the alternate chapters, fall in love madly several times, once with a princess who leads him a danse macabre, and this is but a fraction of his experiences.
Strange as the novel is, it is more than a scientific romance in the manner of the Wells of The Time Machine. It is a commentary upon life and it is one man’s pigrimage from chaotic uncertainty as to the question of the catechism “What is the chief end of man?” to a solution—for him. We leave him thus, “Prokop fell into a sweet and healing sleep free from all dreams,” and for the relief of the apprehensive reader be it said. The few grams had been exploded carrying with them “a most vile congregation of vapourous Reds and Prokop found on awakening the formula and the method of making Krakatit. A remarkable book!

CHAPTER ELEVEN
MAKING ONE BRANCH JOINED AT THE BASE SERVE FOR WHOLE ARRANGEMENT
TAKE a branch like the illustration and saw off the branch where it divides in two at the base at place marked "cut off here for Man branch." Lay this aside for Man. Where the branches join ​at the top and are marked "cut off for Earth," saw off there to form your Earth. The three branches, when cut off according to directions, form the shapes shown in the illustration.

CHAPTER TWELVE
HOW TO SUGGEST THE SEASON OF THE YEAR IN FLOWER ARRANGEMENT
THE Japanese describe the growth of the plant from flower to fruit as the moving of the plant soul from flower to leaf and from leaf to fruit, according to the four seasons of the year. In spring the soul is in the flowers, in summer it is in the leaves, and in autumn it comes into the fruit, while in winter it spreads into the branches.
Spring Arrangement of Flowers
A March Arrangement showing Influence of High Wind
An Arrangement suitable for February or March when Winds are High
Let the Midzu-giwa—the place at the base where all the stems must unite and appear as one stalk—be short, about three inches or so in length. The shortening of this part of the arrangement makes it look full and spreading, as all plant life is at that season. The amount of water put into the vase is regulated according to the season. In spring, when the streams are full to overflowing, vases are filled to the brim. The Japanese put wax on the edges of the vase, so that the water can go over the rim at this season and look as if it were overflowing, yet not actually spill.
Summer Arrangement
In summer use young green leaves in great abundance. Cut leaves off near the water in order to give a cool effect. Make the Midzu-giwa shorter than at any other season, about two inches in length and make your arrangement very full and ​spreading. Bring as much variety into the bend of your branches as possible. Shallow vases, with a wide expanse of water, are most used at this season.
Autumn Arrangement
In autumn use a few golden or yellow leaves in your arrangement, to suggest the harvest time.
Make your arrangements less full, using fewer sprays and branches.
The Midzu-giwa becomes longer, about four inches; for at this time the leaves are beginning to fall from the trees and one sees more of the trunk and branches.
The Japanese tell us to make at this season an arrangement expressing serenity and peace. By this they mean that we should make a simpler arrangement than in spring or summer and give more attention to beauty of line than foliage or flowers.
Winter Arrangement
In winter arrange flowers with few curves. Make your sprays or branches more flat.
​Do not bring the Man and Earth sprays to the front, but when bending them away from the center spray bend them rather slightly backward.
Each line must stand out as clear-cut as the branches of a tree in winter. All plants have a sparser growth at this time. The foliage has entirely gone now and the trunk of the tree is seen to a greater height, so the Midzu-giwa is longer in winter than at any other season. It should now be five inches in length.
# Japanese flower arrangement/Chapter 15

CHAPTER FIFTEEN
FLOWERS ARRANGED ACCORDING TO SHAPES OF VASES
WHEN the vase is round or oval, form an imaginary square in it as shown in the figure and draw out the branches from the upper two angles; that is, the branches are placed as always in the center of the vase, but their upper ends are bent back towards the corners.
If the vase is square, hexagonal, or octagonal, place one of the angles in front and draw out the branches from the sides, not ​from the angles. But if the vase is a low square or parallelogram, one of the sides comes to the front and the branches are drawn from the angles.
Proportion of the Height of Flowers to the Vase
If the vase is a foot high, the flower in it should be a foot and a half high, or once and a half the height of the vase. The height of a flower is measured from the top of Heaven to the water.
In low, flat vases the diameter is taken and the height of the highest flower must be once and a half the diameter.
In flower vases placed on a stand measure the height of the vase, including the stand, and, as in other cases, make the flowers once and a half the height.

We, by the grace of Heaven, Emperor of Japan, seated on the throne occupied by the same dynasty from time immemorial, do hereby make the following proclamation to all our loyal and brave subjects:
We hereby declare war against Germany, and we command our army and navy to carry on hostilities against that Empire with all their strength, and we also command all our competent authorities to make every effort, in pursuance of their respective duties to attain the national aim by all means within the limits of the law of nations.
Since the outbreak of the present war in Europe, calamitous effect of which we view with grave concern, we on our part have entertained hopes of preserving the peace of the Far East by the maintenance of strict neutrality, but the action of Germany has at length compelled Great Britain, our ally, to open hostilities against that country, and Germany is at Kiaochou, its leased territory in China, busy with warlike preparations, while its armed vessels cruising seas of eastern Asia are threatening our commerce and that of our ally. The peace of the Far East is thus in jeopardy.
Accordingly, our Government and that of His Britannic Majesty, after full and frank communication with each other, agreed to take such measures as may be necessary for the protection of the general interests, contemplated in the agreement of alliance, and we on our part being desirous to attain that object by peaceful means commended our Government to offer with sincerity and advice to the Imperial German Government. By the last day appointed for the purpose, however, our Government failed to receive an answer accepting their advice. It is with profound regret that we, in spite of our ardent devotion to the cause of peace, are thus compelled to declare war, especially at this period of our reign and while we are still in mourning for our lamented mother.
It is our earnest wish that by the loyalty and valor of our faithful subjects peace may soon be restored and the glory of the Empire be enhanced.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN
ASHIRAI
ONE of the loveliest features in flower arrangement is known as Ashirai; it is also one of the most difficult to master. It is the placing at the base of the arrangement a flower of a different variety from that used in the main arrangement.
A flower is frequently arranged in this way at the base of a tree arrangement, simulating a flower springing up at the root of a tree. I give here an example of forsythia arranged with an Ashirai of camelia.
The Ashirai should be placed slightly to one side or a trifle behind the main arrangement. By no means must it cross the main arrangement in front, by any of its leaves, flowers, or branches. The Ashirai and the main arrangement should be separate and distinct, each perfect and complete without the other.
​The Ashirai must not be too close to the main arrangement nor too widely separated, but what the Japanese call "ideally" separated; then the effect is exquisite.
If, as often happens after you have finished an arrangement of shrubs or tree branches, it appears rather blank and "lonely" near the water, add Ashirai and the result will be charming.

| No. 1 | No. 2 | No. 3 |
No. 1 represents Ashirai badly arranged, ​because two leaves and a flower prevent us from a full front view of the main stem.
No. 2 represents Ashirai too close to the main stem.
No. 3 Ashirai is "ideally" arranged. It being separate and distinct, the effect is admirable. The leaves behind the flower marked by a long line at the right of the arrangement render the whole thing very effective. There should always be these leaves in an Ashirai arrangement.

CHAPTER TEN
ARRANGEMENT OF BRANCHES
NO more satisfactory effects or more charming results can be had than in working out Japanese rules with branches of trees. Here, as in all other arrangements, the Japanese prefer to follow nature. We, not so much from ignorance as lack of thought and time, take branches from trees where they have been growing in a horizontal position and place them in a vase in a perpendicular one, with the leaves standing up and facing to the front instead of flat and spreading as they grew. The Japanese have, of necessity, to let the main stick stand upright. In this position it forms the trunk of the tree, and the smaller twigs are twisted into the form of its branches, thus making a small branch of the tree appear as a whole diminutive tree.
​Branches are much used by the Japanese, for, unlike us, they consider them as flowers and use them for their most important arrangements.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN
FLOWERS IN HANGING RECEPTACLES
VINES of all varieties should be placed in hanging vases, as the nature of their growth can be shown to better advantage in this way. A vine in an upright position is very unnatural, but in a hanging vase it can fall over the edge as though it were creeping over a rock or clinging to the side of a hill. Only the short and unimportant ends are allowed to go upright.
Arrangements are made in hanging vases according to the same principles of Heaven, Man, and Earth. Heaven is still the longest branch or spray, only in these receptacles it hangs down instead of standing upright. This is because the character of vines is to droop, and Heaven, the most important element of the group in flower arrangements, must always indicate in its lines the natural growth of the plant.

Boat Bow on with Iris
One of the most popular and beautiful of the hanging arrangements is that done in a crescent-shaped vase so as to show the date of the month. The first day of the month starts with a long streamer hanging out in front on the left-hand side, as shown in the illustration. This streamer is shortened each day until the tenth of the month, when a new long streamer is put in at the back and there shortened each day until the twentieth, when the streamer again comes to the front; but for the last ten days it is at the right-hand side.
The boat in its various forms has been so perfectly described by Mr. Conder that only a few examples of it are given here.
Tree branches are also used in hanging vases. Trees being of higher growth than flowers and shrubs, it is proper that they should be placed high.
​When on the vase itself there are decorations of flowers or a poem, the sprays arranged in it should be so placed as to hide none of the decorations. The nail on which the hanging vase is hung must be halfway between the ceiling and floor. The longest streamer must stop within three inches of the floor.

Kimball v. Evans
It is clear we have no jurisdiction in this cause. The judgment of the Supreme Court is not the final judgment in the suit. It disposed finally of one of the questions involved in the suit, but not of the suit itself. The suit is still pending in the District Court, and it is not impossible that the parties now complaining may be satisfied with the judgment which they may in the end be able to secure in the State courts. If not, after a final judgment has in fact been rendered by the highest court of the State in which a decision in the suit can be had, the case may be again brought here for a determination of the questions arising upon the petition for removal. But in the present condition of the record the writ must be
Dismissed.

Argued: Dec. 7, 8, 1948. --- Decided: June 27, 1949
Mr. Justice RUTLEDGE, concurring.
As I understand the opinion of t e Court, its effect is simply to recognize that short-term takings of property entail considerations not present where complete title has been taken. Rules developed for the simple situation in which all the owner's interests in the property have been irrevocably severed should not be forced to fit the more complex consequences of a piecemeal taking of successive short-term interests. Such takings may involved compensable elements that in the nature of things are not present where the whole is taken.
With this much I agree. But having recognized the possible compensability of intangible interests, I would not subscribe to a formulation of theoretical rules defining their nature or prescribing their measurement. What seems theoretically sound may prove unworkable for judicial administration. But I do not understand the opinion of the Court to do more than indicate possible approaches to the compensation of such interests. Since remand of the case will permit the empirical testing of these approaches, I join in the Court's opinion.

# Kimball v. West

* related portals: Supreme Court of the United States.
* sister projects: Wikidata item.
United States Supreme Court
82 U.S. 377
Kimball v. West
APPEAL from the Circuit Court for the District of Missouri.
Kimball and Trask brought their bill in chancery against West, to rescind a contract for the sale of land of which they were purchasers from him. The contract was an executed one, West having conveyed the land-about four hundred acres in quantity-to the complainants' agent, who had conveyed to them, and the purchase-money ($22,000) having been paid. The deed of West, the defendant, contained a clause of general warranty.
The allegation mainly relied on by the bill to set aside the contract was that the defendant represented to the agent of the complainants, that the title to the land was good; that there was no incumbrance on it, nor adverse claim to it; when in truth and in fact an action of ejectment was then pending for one hundred and eighty-four acres of it against the defendant, in which judgment was afterwards rendered against him; that the land so recovered in the suit against the defendant was the most valuable part of the track, and without which the complainants would not have made the purchase; and that the defendant fraudulently concealed the existence of this suit, and represented the title to the whole to be perfect. On the question of concealment and fraudulent representation testimony was taken on both sides, which did not leave the matter free from doubt. This part of the matter, however, was unimportant in the view which this court took of the case.
It appeared from the record that before the cause in the court below came to a final hearing, the defendant purchased the outstanding and conflicting title to the one hundred and eighty-four acres, and tendered to the complainants such conveyances as made their title perfect. The court, therefore, dismissed the bill, but decided that the defendant should pay the costs of the suit.
From this decree of dismissal the complainants appealed.
Mr. R. T. Merrick, for the appellants:
There was confessedly misrepresentation by the vendor as to five-twelfths of the whole tract. On the ground of mere defect in quantity the purchasers have a right to be relioved of their purchase; or rather their no purchase. Can the vendor by coming in now, at the twelfth hour, and offering a good title, destroy this right? The purchasers may have bought for a special purpose. Presumably they did so. Suppose they bought for immediate resale on a high but falling market, obviously they are not made whole by the tender of a good title now. Their opportunity of sale is gone, and their lost time and pains is their profit. An entire rescission of the contract should have been decreed, or at least compensation for the portion included in the ejectment suit.
Mr. J. O. Broadhead, contra.
Mr. Justice MILLER delivered the opinion of the court.
