residence in McLelnan county by the
general election in November to vote
III the primary election, and all voters
shall be strictly confined to their own
voting precinct.
3rd. If party presents himself to

not known by the presiding officer or

ton and adherence to democratic
principles.

democratic primaries, and then de-
cline to support the nominees of the
party. For this reason YOU are earn
estly solicited to rigidly enforce the
foregoing rules, and thereby assist the
executive committee in Kidding our
pri mary elections from that class of
evils which have heretofore rendered
them obnoxious to many democrats.

our party, and kindest regards to you
personally, | beg to remain,
Yours very truly,

Lunar Lore.

People generally, as the gaze upon the
quiet, pale-faced moon, have no contempa-
ton Of the velocity with which it performs
its orbital journey. Earth's plodding mill
ions but little reck of the lunar and siderial,
and solar wonders that advanced astronomy
have brought to view, to impress us with the
houndless immensely of creation, and the
ilimitable resources of the great arthor of
all. What can finite man do, in the con-
temptation of creations boundless arrey but
wonder and adore. Professor Langley, pre-
sents the following picture of the moons
startling, bewildering velocity
"We can family picture, perhaps how it
would seem, from station near the lunar
orbit, to sec the moon---a moving world
rush by with the velocity greater than that of
the cannon-ball in its swiftest flight: but
with equal speed its shadow actually travels
along the earth; and now, if we return from
our imaginary station TO a real one here be-
low, we are better prepared to see why this
flying shadow is such a unique spectacle; for
small as it may be when seen in relation to
the whole globe, it is immense to the OBJ
server, whose entire horizon is filed with IL.
and who sees the actual velocity of one of
the heavenly bodies, as it were, brought down
TO him. The reader who has ever assembled
to the Superga, at Turin, will recall the
magnificent view, and be able TO understand
the good fortune of an observer Forbes) who

And he speaks of the 'stupefaction'-it is his
