BIG OCEAN WAVES.
Careful Data Show Them to Be Not Over
Thirty-two Feet High.

Careful Data Show Them to Be Not Over
Thirty-two Feet High.
An article quoted in Current Litera-
ture gives this interesting information
on ocean waves. DR.. G. Schott, as the
result of studying the form and height
of the waves of the sea, claims that I'M
der moderate breeze their velocity was
"a feet per second, OF 1863 miles an
hour. which is about the speed of mod
ern sailing vessel.
AS the wind rises the size and speed
of the waves increase. In strong breeze
their length rises to 260 feet and their
speed reaches SO Or SO. feet per second.
Waves the period of which is nine Sec
onds, the length 400 OF 425 feet, and
the speed 2s nautical miles-per hour are
produced only in storms. During a
southeast storm in the southern Atlantic
he measured waves 600 feet long, and
this was not a maximum, for in latitude
% degrees south and longitude 80 de-
grees east he observed waves of Is Sec
onds' period, which were 1,150 feet
long, with velocity Of 1871 feet Per
second, OF 1913 nautical niles sl iioui.
Dr.. Schott does not think that the
maximum height Of the waves is very
great. Some observers have estimated it
at 80 or 40 feet i'll wind of the force
represented by II on the Beaufort scale,
the highest number Of which is IL, and
Dr. Schott maximum is just 80 feet. He
believes that in great tempests waves of
more than 60 feet are rare, and that
even those of so feet are exceptional. In
the ordinary trade winds the height is 8
Or 6 feet. The ratio of height to length
is about 1873 ia "a moderate wind, |. 1s
in a strong wind and LII in storm,
from which it follows that the inclina-
ton of the wave is respectively about @,
10, II degrees. The ratio of the height
Of the waves to the force Of the wind
varies greatly.

ON THE MOUNTAIN.

A storm from the mountain is coming.
With lightning and thunder and rain:
The wind is sweeping and humming
In the butternut trees on the plain.
The cloud is ebon that follows,
The fore cloud is livid and pale,
There's the Hash and the tossing of swallow
In the turn of the eddying gale.
And the rain is awake on the mountain:
IT'S lashing the forest affair
With fall of a shattering fountain
And the tramp and the tumult of war;
With the drums of the detoning thunder,
And the clang in the bugles CT wind,
With the gonfalons tortured asunder
By the rush of the host from behind.
The plains are leaping with shadows,
The highlands go QUIZ like blot,
And over the eddying meadows
The rain is hurtled like shot.
The darkness is glooming and frightening,
There is alternate chaos and form,
With the parry and thrust of the lightning
IL, the turbulent heart of the storm.
.
Now the storm Is over,
y. And the greener plain
Seems to glow and hover
Through the thinning rain.
Now the wind is gusty
In the maple tops,
Striking out the lusty
Storms of cleaning drops.
Now the goldfnch whistles
In his spattered vest,
Balanced on the thistles,
Bolder than the best.
And the hermit thrushes,
On tho sparkling hills,
Link the dripping bushes
With their silver thrills.

THE PRACTICE OF SELLING IT ON TRAINS
TO BE BROKFN UP.
A News Agent Arrested for the 0fsnss Yesterday.
Barber Charged with Illegally Prac-
tclag Msdieins-Polies Matters

For some years il has been the prac-
tice OF news agents on passenger trains
entering this city to offer for sale OBJ
scene litelatre. The stuff is of the
yilest nature imaginable, and some Of
the printed matter is accompanied by
racy illustrations. The method of the
news agents is 10 select a male passen-
ger and to approach him in conf
Dental manner. Big profits are OBJ
tanned from the sale of the literature,
but occasionally the wrong person is
approached, and it so happens that fire.
quent complaints have been made.
1t is understood that the B. & o.
officials have determined to put stop
TO this nefarious practice At any rate
an arrest was made yesterday. Robert
Brooke aged about 80 years, was
brought before Justice Gillespy yester-
day morning charged with selling and
Offering for sale obscene literature.
He was detected in the act by b. & o.
special detective John Shorts.
Brooke has long been suspected of
handling literature of this character,
but it was difficult TO obtain positive
evidence against him. He left the en-
ploy OF The news company day or two
since. and was yesterday placed under
arrest while trying to sell the stuff on
the street. 4 large quantity of the
literature was found on his person.
Justice Gillespy committed the de-
PENDANT to Jail, in default Of bond in
the sum of $500 for his appearance for
@ preliminary hearing this morning.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.

A Barber Held to Court for Illegally
Practicing Medicine.
An interesting case was tried yes
terday afternoon before Justice Joseph
A. Ankle. in the Eighth ward. The
defendant was Mr.. NJ FrieSmuth, the
we'll known Main street barber, who
was charged with practicing medicine
without being legally qualified. 1t was
alleged that DR.. r.. L. AshbrOOk was
treating a German lady living near
T&enty-sixth street for female com
plant. and that Mr.. Friesmuth was
called in and prescribed in the case.
j. b. Handlan. ESQ. appeared for the
State. and j. j. Conifl Esq, for the de
defense.
DIR. Alderman testified that the de-
PENDANT was not a legally qualified
physician. The woman and her nus
band both gave their evidence. Mr..
Conif did not introduce any witnesses,
taking the position that the charge
was not sustained, and asking for the
dismissal of the case. The Justice
held defendant to Court and bond was
furnished.
1t is claimed on the part of the
defense that Mr.. Friesmuth was called
in at the request of the patient merely
to act as an Interpreter, as DIR. Ash
brook was unable to understand her, or
TO- make himself understood

This is not Democratic year.
The Democrats are on the run.
There are no sulkers in the Citizens
ranks.
Vote early and often-for the Citizen
candidates.
Make it point to see that your neigh
Dor votes next Tuesday.
The Citizens were born to rule, while
the Democrats are to be ruled.
The Citizens candidates in the Second
ward are confident of success.
Chief Burgess Burns is sadly in need of
a Citizens Council at his back
The people are not saying much, bu t
they are doing some tall thinking.
Weigh well the qualifications of each
candidate before casting your vote.
The enthusiasm of the Democrats can
be confined TO the dimensions of a thimble
A mans business qualifications should
be his best recommendation for election.
There is good Bit of the green goods
method about the Democratic campaign.
A man who neglects his own business
is hardly fit subject to legislate for the
people
Shenandoah needs progressive men in
both the School Board and Borough
Council.
In the language of Grover Cleveland,
"a condition, and not theory" confronts
the local Democracy.
The official ballot for Shenandoah will
contain but three columns, the smallest
ballot in the county.
The Citizens party was never more
firmly united, and the little dissensions
in the past have disappeared.
| At least one Democratic candidate in
the First ward is fearful Of defeat. He
is making a house.to-house canvass,
Turkey Run will give good account of
itself on Tuesday, the statesman from that
bailiwick to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
Each voter of the Citizens party should
constitute himself a committee of one to
see that every vote is deposited on Tues
day.
The Citizens Standing Committee will
meet in the Republican League rooms to-
morrow evening for the purpose OF com
sulting with the candidates of that party.

AFFAIRS OF
THE BOROUGH.
Interest in the Approaching Election
is Being Aroused.
SEEKING THE FAT PLUMS
Democrats Working Hard to Control
the Borough Council to Make the
Water Works Appointments.

Considerable spirit Is beiug injected into
IIoA. ublic affairs of the borough by the
apPA81ch of the spring election, and from
now until the close of election day events
of unusual interest may be looked for.
The contest over the election of Council
men in the respective wards is being en-.
livened by the claims of candidates Tor
the Councilmanic appointment of
superintendent of public water works,
I'D in at least two of the wards
ne Democrats seem to bend all their
energies to the promotion of the claims
of their respective favorites. AS predicted
by the HERALD when the public water
works movement was first put on foot
appointments to positions on the works
are becoming the bones of contention in
the spring election. This spring we find
three Democrats Timothy Miles, Oscar
Betteridge and James Bell in the field and
the most important issue in the campaign
to them and their friends quite naturally
is the election of Democratic majority
in Council that will appoint Democratic
superintendent of the public water works
Another issue is the appointment of an
engineer of the works. The man now in
charge is one who was placed there by
recommendation of the Jeanesville com
pany that put in the pumping plant. He
was formerly employed on the Maha-
noy City works and on account of
his experience was retained to keep the
pumps and engines in working order until
the Wpat har hrao ke in tha Snrinuy
far this mans experience will be con
sidered after that time remains to be
seen. There are a number of men pulling
political wires to fill his shoes, and there
is little doubt that he will have a successor
after the new Borough Council NEE IS and
organizes. 1t is pretty we'll understood that
a superintendent and engineer of the
works will be elected at the same time
that the su upervisor, town clerk and police
are selected. This will make the organi
zation more than usually interesting this
spring.
The present Council is deslrous of wind
ing up all the water works aft airs that it
can before the new Council takes the reins
of the government in hand. The
water committee met last night and
considered disputed bills rendered by
contractors who performed work on
the public water works, and will present
them with their recommendations at Il
special meeting of the Borough Council
to be held this evening, The meeting
promises to be lively one. 1t is said the
differences of opinion on some bills are so
wide that there is no hope of a compromise.
Should the predictions be fulfilled a mum
ber of suits may be looked for.

Cars Still Stopped.

The Schuylkill Traction Company is
not running its cars through town yet.
Chief Burgess Burns is enforcing the
Borough Councils order relative to the
cleaning of the tracks and csrting away
of the snow, and until the order is fully
complied with no cars will be allowed to
run to the Main street terminus. The
Burgess had q conference with Manager
Ash and in pursuance of an
agreement made by the latter gentle
man a fat car and gang Of men were
sent to town yesterday and commenced
loading and hauling away the snow that
had beeh shoveled from the Coal street
track. Yesterday the cars were run to
the west end of Coal street and travellers
were obliged to walk to and from that
point The Lakeside Electric Railway
Company's cars are running as far as the
corner of Centre and White streets, but
will probably run to the Main street
terminus tonight. This company loaded
the snow from the streets on to big
truck sleigh and hauled it away. The
fall of snow early this morning did not
interfere in anyway with the operation OF
the lines.
