rhe Cat in Sc.ence.

A few days ago We made some obser-
vations upon the cat in law, based upon
the arguments Of some Baltimore law
yers as to whether or not a cat is prop
erty and under the protection Of the
statutes. We now how that the cat
is playing old scratch in science, threat
ening TO overthrow the authority of
Archmides and his fulcrum.
Il all comes about through the dis
cussion Of why a cat invariably alights
upon its feet when dropped. even though
it be feet upward at the moment OF re-
lease. Some. time ago NJ. Marcy OF the
French Academy Of Sciences asserted that
the cats peculiar power Of righung it,
self in the air and dropping on it's feet
was a scientific paradox. lie had made
a number of instantaneous photographs
Of a falling cat, dropping through a space
OF three feet. From the moment Of leav-
ing the hands that held it's feet to the mo-
ment of alighting upon the floor right side
up the pictures showed the cat in four
teen distinct positions Nj. Marcy argued
that the pictures showed that the croa-
ture turned of its own volition and with
out the aid of the experimeuter.
Some of his colleagues, however. com
batting the giving up of old theories.
held that the cat received its rotary
force from the hands that held it. and
that without the fulcrum of the hands il
would be powerless TO turn. Again NJ
Marcy brought the instantaneous photo
graphic apparatus to bear on the ques-
ton. He suspended the cat by string,
and cut the string. Again the series
of pictures showed the cat going through
its series of spasmodic commissions and
alighting upon its feet. This test rather
startled the old theorists and shook the
ground upon which they stood: still they
were not convinced. And at this day the
domestic cat is the pivot OF discussion in
the French Academy of Sciences.
Cats have always been associated with
witchcraft and sorcery in folk lore. In
ancient Egypt they were sacred. The
reason probably is that the old timers
recognized the cats peculiar powers but
could not account for them, and hence
they attributed them to the devil along
with everything else that the wise men did
not understand.
Having got thus far along in the study
of cats. it is to be hoped the savants

will come within the province of the doc
tors. The lawyers and the engineers

The Senete's Veto Power.
From the Baltimore Sun dem

Without closure there can be no honest
legislation. The refusal 10 pass a rule for
the limitation of debate and for taking a
vote Is simply declaration in favor of the
individual right of blackmail or of sena-
torial right of veto, infinitely more ire
sponsible and more dangerous than that
vested by the constitution in the President
of the United States. The President veto
Is conditional and qualified one, and its
exercise must be accompanied by a state

A Surprise.
:. ). FISH.

Not one of the host of friends of Miss
Elizabeth Hughes, surmised, when she,
in company with her friend, Miss Tay-
lor, went to Chicago on short visit
several days ago, that she was seriously
contemplating entering into a matri-
mOnial alliance But such seem to be
the case, and one week ago Monday last
she was united in wedlOck to Mr. Nor
ris L. kinzie, at Fountain City, Wis.
There is not shadow of doubt in the
minds of her friends that she cody and
deliberately planned this little escapade,
and with the natural shreWdness she IS
known to possess, set about to i've
them surprise of this nature.
Mrs. Kinzie, is lady of marked abil-
ity, and her admirers were not alone
among those Of the fairer sex. For the
past year she has been connected with
the Office of Attorney {. p. DrummOnd,
as stenographer, and is held in the high
est esteeTl by her former employer, who
no doI,ot, deplores the ties that have
caused her retirement from the position
she occupied. Mrs. KinZie will also be
missed from the social circle, in which
she was prominent feature. For
some time past she has been the lead
ing soprano singer in the NJ. E. church
choir where her voice will be sadly
missed.
1t is reported, after sojourn of few
weeks at Fountain City, the newly mar
ried couple will go east to make their
future home. While enroute they will
probably stop off at Plymouth for few
days, and no doubt will receive hearty
welcome.

host of friends in wishing them long

Public Parks.

The writer in the Indiana Newspaper
Union gives some very reasonable adj
vice, that can be profited by, even in
Plymouth. In regards to park, eS-
pecially does the writer give Wholesome
advice. He says:
\ more hopeful sign of the future
well being of the race can hardly be
cited in our day than the growth of a
public sentiment in all large cities
throughout the world favorable to an
almost unlimited extension of the pub
lie parks and pleasure grounds that are
now more than ever necessary to the
welfare OF the present and coming gen
erations. The Importance of parks, not
only as means of qualification to ur-
ban residents, but as a sanitary me as
ure, has been sadly overlooked in
American cities, especially in the West.
The future, however, affords brighter
outlook in this regard, the world over.
Boston has recently made great adj
vances in this direction, and it is esti-
mated the Hub has at this time park
reservations to the extent of 14,0CO
acres. Philadelphia, always noted for
its great Paramount Park, has within
the last seven years established twenty
six new public parks, gardens, and
squares. London, the worlds metro
polls, also pursues the same policy.
Our smaller Indiana cities, and even our
thriving county seats, might well profit
by these examples and at once inaugur-
ate movement that will of itself
gather momentum as the years go by
that will not only be benefit to al now
living in these corporations, but will
also prove an enduring source of graft
lication-"a well spring of pleasure

All our towns are growing rapidly.
The great majority of our county seats
have doubled their population in the
past ten years. All have brilliant fu
ture before them that in the very nature
of things must eclipse the ACHIEVEMENTS
of the past. The Importance of a park
for any town cannot be overestimated'
| No town, or village even, is too small to
