sitting near the fire.
Why is it dangerous 10 sit near the
water during a thunder storm:
Because water is good conductor
and the vapor arising from it might
attract the electricity.
Are iron houses dangerous?
No; y are safe, because their en-
tire surface is a good conductor and
would ronvey the electricity harmless
TO the earth?
Are iron bedsteads dange3ous!
No; they are safe, because the iron
frame, completely surrounding the
body and having a great capacity for
conduction, would keep electricity
away from the body.
Why is it safe to be in bed during a
thunder storm?
Because feathers, hair, wool, cotton,
etc, especially when dry, are good ln-
sulators or non conductors.
What is the safest position to be in
during a thunder storm?
In the centre of the room, isolated as
far as possible from surrounding OBJ
jects; sitting on a chair and avoiding
handling any Of the conducting sub
stances. The windows and doors
should be closed to prevent drafts OF
air. .......
If in the open air, what is the safest
situation?
To keep aloof as far as possible from
any elevated structures, regard the
rain as a protection against the light
ming stroke, for wet clothes would sup
ply so good a conductor that very
large amount of electricity would pass
over a mans body through wet clothes
and he would be quite unconscious Of
| it.

About Lightning.

What is the cause of lightning?
Lightning is the result Of electrical
discharges from the clouds.
What is thunder?
Thunder is the noise which succeeds
the rush of the electrical fluid through
the air.
When does lightning occur?
When clouds charged with the op-
posite electricities approach, the forces
rush to each other, and combine in a
state of equilibrium.
Why does lightning attend this
movement of the forces of electricity?
Because the atmosphere, being una
Bile to convey the great charges of cleo
tricity as they rush toward each other,
acts as an insulator and the lightning
IS caused by the violence of the cleo
trlcity IN forcing its passage. When
the conducting power is equal to the
force of the electricity, it passes invis-
IDLY, noiselessly and harmlessly when
ever it finds sufficient force of con-
Quoting.
Why does lightning sometimes ap-
pear forked?
Because, being resisted in its pro-
gress by the air, the electricity divides
into two or more points, flies from
point to point, and seeks q passage in
different directions. .....
Why is it dangerous to stand near a
tree during an electric storm?
Because the tree is better conduc-
tor than the air, and electricity would
probably strike the tree and pass to
the person standing near.
Why is it dangerous to sit near a
fireplace? :,
Because the chimney, being tall
object and the smoke good conductor,
would probably attract the electricity
and convey it to the body Of 3 person

The Fremont County record. [volume] (Canon City, Colo.) 1877-18??, 1881-10-15

Canon City stands an equal chance
with any other locality in the Arkan-
sas valley for securing the second
highest vote upon the location of the
permanent seat of government of the
state of Colorado, but mere sentiment
will not gain one single vote. Work
must be done, and judicious work ct
that. We can be reasonably sure of
pretty large vote in Custer county,
but cannot expect votes from other
counties unless careful canvas is
made of them. Such canvas can
only be made successful by the proper
use of the means employed. IL funds
enough have been raised not less
let's, setting forth in iiseir true light
the advantages of Canon, should be
circulated in every county in south
ern Colorado. An influential citizen
of this city, one who can command
the attention of men of influence in
other communities, should be paid
for his labor and sent into every town
and mining camp that eau be reached
by the eighth day of November and
his appearance must he honorable.
earnest and sober. The solicitation
of an individual vote here and there
will amount to but liitle, while the
labor of one man who can influence
the votes of his friends aud neighbors
is of great value. There is no moral
or sentimental obligation connected
with this capital question. There is
no party aliiliation to be tRSon into
consideration. II is q plain business
proposition and must be worked out
in a business-like and systematic
manner. Whoever may go forth upon
such mission, let him be thorough
ly imbucd with its business aspects
and if he is then capable of placing
before the people of southern Colo
RADIO the advantages OF Canon City as
the point wherein the business OF the
state can be transacted as cheaply,
easily and economically as at any
other point in the south, he will have
gained his object and the vote for
Canon will reach figure which will
surprise and demoralize her rivals.
The Fremont County record. [volume] (Canon City, Colo.) 1877-18??, 1881-10-15

Coal Creek the nomination for sheriff,
Coal Greek republicans have asked mo-
thing from the party for several years.
but now they believe they have a
strong claim which should be recog-

may be given to them. Had it not
been for the handsome republican
vote in that precinct last fall that
party would have been severely de-
feaied. We must hold that vote or

ask. View the situation carefully be-
