The Muybridge photographs showed
some years ago that the eye WA unre-
liable for the detection Of the absolute
details Of rapid animal motion. In
Simultaneous photography alone gives .
correct representation Of the different
attitudes taken by men or animals in
rapid action, and it Is quite possible
that medical science may achieve fresh
discoveries by the help of the kineto-
scope. Thus, in studying the muscular
action that results from certain nerve
disorders, It may be possible TO trace
the nerves which are affected. Even in
less complicated cases, like lameness, q
surgeon may be able to reach conclus-
ionc with great quiclkness and certainty
by securing the details of muscular
action OF the affected limb. - the speed
OF the kinetoscope may be regulated at
win. Atogether, then, while the repro
duction Of grand opera for the multi.
tude may be . matter of the remote
future, the kinetoscope Is something OF
more use to civilization than . mere
pictorial toy. >-sneeers.-

Several candidates for city Office have
wisely suggested to the republican city
central committee that all aspirants be
restrained from securing more than 80
names to their petitions, so that no one
who may later on be candidate can be
shut out by reason of his inab lily to
obtain the requisite lumber of signers,
because his friends might have placed
their signatures to the tallysheet of
SINE candidate who did not require half
TIE names he asked for. This sugges-
ton was advanced 10 last weeks Courier
and even had il not been made the CEN
trail committee would have discovered
the inadequacy of this proposition were
net candidates restricted to the neces-
sary number of petitioners. Five hun
dred and fifty names should be the ex
treme limit.
The central committee will probably
hold another meeting soon, at which
time they should unanimously adopt all
amendments proposed at its last sitting.
] his is the judgment of nearly ali true
republicans. The committee shout
subserve the party. and doubtless will.
AS to the adoption Of the proposed
amen dime nts to the Crawford system, a
few notifications in some of them would
not be objected to.
Candidates for every office but that of
city treasurer have made their sally. In
quiry develops the fact that the general
feeling is to give Mr. Aitken the second
term (which republican party has al
ways rendered efficient officers by mu-
tual consent. 1t would indeed require a
man of extraordinary nerve 10 oppose
Mr.. Aitken.
The colored and Hebrew voters will
make themselves heard next spring, and
it is right that they should. Each of
these races now have a candidate before
the people, and if they are not elected
son e one will likely sweat for il later on.
