ara occupation gone our musty, crusty

hy the athletic nerve and well directed busi-
ness talent which win soon be developed by
the example of few energetic men. Our
community has capital and brains enough to
take care of itself. What it needs is motive
power to turn it beyond the centers, where it
stops for the want Of proper balance wheel
to utilize the momentum. The energy and
enthusiasm displayed in grading the Olympia
TeninO Railroad indicates that this reserve
power exists. The results of the decp>water
wharf project shows that it can be pushed
to a successful termination. Our community
has many brave soldiers, ready and willing
for service, and wanting but q general to lead
them on to victory. Who will it be? Mr..
Freeman has done something, and Mr.. Goss
proposes to do as much or more, and the
laurels may be theirs il still more sNapol-
comic spirit is not manifested by somebody
else This is the suspicious moment. There
is tide in the affairs of men, which il. taken
at its flow leads on to fame ami fortune, and

d EASTER" Why does Easter fall on April
10th this year instead of April 9th." The
Churchman explains that the cycle ofthe
golden numbers is lunar, not solar, and while
by solar calculation day always begins at
midnight, by lunar calculation it begins at
noon. II, therefore, the Paschal full moon
falls on Saturday after 10 NJ. it is counted as
falling on Sunday, and then Easter day is the
Sunday following. This is what happens in
the present year. The Paschal full moon
falls ON Saturday, April 9Th, at 2:43 p. NJ. 1t
is, therefore, counted as falling on Sunday,
April 9th, and Easter day is the Sunday fol-
lowing-i. e., April 10th. 1t may be added
that should the full moon fall ON March 21st
before IL NJ, that full moon, counted as fall-
ing on March goth, would not regulate Easter
day, but the ono following. This happened
in 1910. .... ..,s..gaI .... ..f.y
