NEW THEORY ABOUT THE sF. PAUL
GROUNDING.

Lieutenant W. II. Beeher, who invented the
automatic apparatus for determining the position
OF a ship, which has been put on several OF the
Government vessels has advanced q new theory
regarding the running ashore Of the St Paul. the
ship Foyne and the narrow escape Of other yes

been due to the retardation OF the Gulf Stream.
which must hereafter be taken seriously into
account when storm conditions prevail on the
Atlantic. IL is well known he says that Il varia-
ton Of two inches in the pressure barOmeters
height means pound difference In atmospheric
pressure on the square inch Roughly taking the
Gulf area at 1000 square miles this difference OF
one pound the square inch would give n
pressure OF more than 1000 900 900 TONS which
undoubtedly retarded the stream to a consider
able degree. With the conditions OF last week
reversed, q Tow being over the Atlantic and
high" over the Gulf the stream would be vastly
accelerated. with the result that vessels bound
for New-York would be forced northward on the
Nova Scotia or New England coasts.

LOG ROLLING.
North Star Camp No. 1927,
M. w. A. Instituted at
New London, MINI.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON the Modern
Woodmen of America took pos.
session of New London and in
stalled new camp, About 20
Woodmen came over from Will
mar and ten from Paynesville to
assist in the cermonies. Twenty
five new mem bers were duly ini-
tiated in the mysteries of wood
craft. The officers and team of
Foresters of Willmar camp had
charge of the work and acquit-
ted themselves in most credit
able manner.
We congratulate New London
on the acquisition of so useful
and benefcient order as the M.
w. A. It is an institution that
has forced it's way into public
favor simply on it's merits. 1t Of
fers one of the most equitable
and reliable life insurance sys-
TEN in existence. Persons ':can
also join as social members with
out taking life insurance. But
aside from from the valuable in
surance features, the order is
now assuming a commanding po-
sition as a fraternal society. Con-
fined to II northwestern states,
it bids fair to be in this section
before long the strongest frater-
nal insurance organization. It
appeals especially to the great
middle class of society and is de-
void of anything that hinders the
most devOut church-man of any
denomination from joining in it's
impressiveyet simple ceremonies
and sharing in it's benefits. tits
an order that has come to stay,
and be a great power for good.
An elegant supper Was served
to about 20 hungry log=rollers at
at the Great Northern hotel, and
after the work was finished we all
went away feeling that we had
spent a happy and profitable eve-
ming with our neighbors of North
Star campat New London. The
camp starts out with every pro-
spect of lasting success.
We enjoyed very much the So
ciety of the Paynesville delega-
ton, a very pleasant lot of chop
pers.
We are going to have a grand
joint picnic at Green Lake for the
Willmar, Paynesville and New
London camp sometimes this

will make quite a crowd. @. j.
