The Medical Record has found puz-
cling problem. 1t puts it in this way:
Out Of 222 pupils in the grammar
schools of Chicago who attained a GER
tain percentage of efficiency, only
twenty-five were boys. This would in
dictate that girls are about four times
as bright as boys. 1t Is hard to under
stand these things and straighten UP
the rules OF heredity. It is, we believe,
the accepted rule that boys "take after
their mothers and the girls after their
fathers. If they, the women, are the
smarter, the boys taking after their
mothers" should also be the smarter.
If the men are the smarter, then the
girls. taking after their fathers"
should be smarter. 1t is difficult rid
die to unravel.

Sandy, Feb. 9-The question of
vital Importance at present is when
will pay day come, as several of our
young land Old sports are anxiously
awaiting that event to enter into the
bonds of matrimOnY.
Last night the curiosity of the good
folks was aroused by the appearance
of a well-known gentleman meandering
up Main street with a homemade
table on his shoulder, but the knowing
ones knew Joe was simplysgetting the
cage ready for the bird he trapped a
few days ago.
Mr.. j. G. Schmidt has had his hall
thoroughly renovated and new scenery
painted, making it one of the neatest
little theatres this side of Salt Lake.
There are several shows billed for the
near future and Sandy is accordingly
happy and lively.
Mr.. n. H. Hallstrom is about the
happiest man in town today. He has
for some time been our worthy post
master, but yesterday was appointed
road supervisor and will enter upon
his new duties with the good wishes
and hearty congratulations of every
one who is acquainted with him -and
who knows his sterling qualifications
for any office to which he may be
appointed.

ADJUSTMENTS

CORBETT AT THE THEATRE.-No
such throng has crowded within the
walls of the theatre for many, many
seasons as that which fought its way
inside last night. The scenes outside
the house for an hour before the open
ing were little short of riotous, and
when the great, good-natured mob had
wedged itself. into all the seats and
surged over into all the aisles, the
scene was a most tumultous one. THE
Little Maverick" by the Katie Put
nam company was the bill, but the at
traction was Jim Corbett. He ap
peared between the second and third
acts and swas before the audience less
than nine minutes.
His appearance consisted of three
very brief and fleeting rounds, so brief
that they hardly gave the audience
more than a glimpse of him. While
he was in evidence, however, he made
the stage extremely lively. There is
nothing of the prize fighter in his APP
pearance and he looked rather the
gentlemanly bank teller he was before
he took to the ring. But his agility,
power and elasticity were evident in
every spring of his rubber-like body.
OF course, he gave Professor McVey
the worst of the three lively bouts
and then in response to the deafening
yells from the galleries, who shouted

Earthquake at Brigham.

Brigham City, Feb. brigham City
and vicinity has been favored with
another earthquake This one oc-
CURED Monday evening at 6:15, just be-
fore dark. 1t was the heaviest shock
that has been felt here, and the peo-
pie have experienced a score or more
during the past six months.
Preceding the shock was a low, deep
mble; then the buildings began to
tremble and dishes. cans and bottles
rattle together. The vibrations pro-
ceeded from west to east. Clocks were
stopped. The court house tower swayed
so from side to side that it caused the
town clock in the tower to strike five
distinct strokes. People on the ground
looked up at the first stroke of the
bell and were astoniShed at the percep-
tible swaying of the tower. Men were
so frightened that they turned pale
and rushed to the street. Some were
so affected by the unusual motion and
peculiar sensations that they were
made seasick, and could hardly keep
from vomiting for an hour after the
occurrence.
About Eve minutes after the shock
came another, but lighter quake.
There seems to be similarity in
these unfathomable subterranean
workings; the severest shock is al
lighter one. Many people still attribute
them TO the unlimited quantities of
natural gas that is known to exist
beneath the surface of the earth in
this vicinity.
At any rate, the shocks are suf-
ficiently strong to give one a helpless,
sickening sensation-a new feeling to
those who never before experienced an
earthquake shock.
This afternoon the funeral services
were held at the family residence over
the remains of John T. Rich, who died
yesterday, as reported in today's
Herald. A large number of friends
gathered TO pay a last tribute of re-
spect TO the respected dead, and 70
extend the hand of sympathy to the
family. On Wednesdays
early morning train the body will be
taken to Salt Lake, where it will ar
rive at 9:05. Here the remains will be
beside the wife and mother
who preceded the husband and father
into the spirit world

PROVO WOODEN MILLS.
Operators Go on Strike For More
Money and Less Cloth.

Provo, Feb. 9.-One hundred and
twenty-five operatives of the Provo
woollen mills walked out today as a
result Of a failure on the part of the
board OF directors to grant a request
made by them.
The board of directors held a, meet
ing in Salt Lake City on Monday. at
which petition, signed by the oper-
atives, was presented, asking that in
future they be given two-thirds of their
wages in cash. Up to date they have
been paid one-fourth cash, the balance
being store trade and the product of
the mills
The demand, or request, was refused
by the board, and its decision commu-
nicated by Reed Smoot, who said it
would pay one-third cash.
Thinking compromise would not
injure anyone. the operatives agreed to
meet the directory half way and said
they would take one-half cash.
Upon this being refused they walked
out.
A meeting will be held today. at
which plan of action will be decided
upon.
One of the operatives said last night
they were prompted to take this step
because thew need more money, and
because they were given to understand
the company is able to pay it. They
have hawked cloth from one place to
another until they are tired.

of the time piece and was subsequently
arrested on suspicion. Several watch
chains and gold rings were offered on
the streets for a trifing amount and
some sales were made. The individual
who made such good use of the letter
written by Joseph F. Smith in behalf of
some armless person, is now awaiting
trial in the city Jail.
1t becomes necessary for the city Of
f1cers to turn the tramps loose who did
such bold pilfering on the streets few
days ago, taking an overcoat from the
dummy at Singleton's and shirts from
Boray & Milliman the reason being that
he was afflicted with a loathsome dis
ease. He has kept up his thieving
record since, going south with the same
result The only recourse is to run him
out of town.

stated that the building was now COM
pleted at a cost of $4,000, and the
contractor, c. A. Marcussen, performed
his work TO the satisfaction of the
trustees. The dedication prayer was
offered by Bishop G.. ID. Smell. Elk
Trustees w. o. Greer and d. T. Lewis
each gave able speeches, in which
their expressed their satisfaction with
the building and the manner in which
II is constructed.
The various grades were represented
with songs, Rotations, etc. Ed L.
Jones represented the eighth and ninth
grades, in which ne eulogized the
fathers and mothers for the interest
manifested in the cause of education
Our former townsman, Professor G..
II. Brimhall OF the B. Y. academy, was
with US and gave a history Of the
growth of education in Spanish Fork,
from the days OF the log SchoolhOuse
to the present time.
superintendent Rawlins Of the Provo
schools made few encouraging re-
marks, after which our principal, Jo-
seph A. Rees, was called for, but as
the time was far spent he cut his talk
very short, and the citizens retired to
their homes, after making an inSpec-
ton of the building, each expressing
his satisfaction of the whole struc-
ture, including the heating and ven
tllating apparatus, which was put in
by Il. G. Blumenthal of Provo and
works like a charm.
1t is conceded that Spanish Fork
stands in the front ranks of education
and for this condition much credit is
due to Professor Joseph A. Rees for
his eXertions in the cause, as he has
remained with US while other leading
educators have left US for more profit
able positions.
Professor Tanner of the Agricultural
college delivered his famous lectures
in the Westinghouse in the evening,
which was well attended.
There is quite a jangle among our
Republican friends as to who will be
our next postmaster. There are three
candidates in the field-C. w. Booth,
]. E. Wilkins and Miss Jane Bowen
1t is believed that either would make
a good postmaster, but it is not ex-
pected that any better services can
be rendered in the future than has
been given in that department for the
last four years.

AT THE UNIVERSITY.
LECTURE LAST
EVENING BY PROF. JAMES.
''Some Recent Advances in Spectre
scopy" His Theme-Prof. Cum
mings Will Speak Next Tuesday
on early Greek Art"

A most instructive lecture was de-
livered at the university last night
by Instructor G.. 0. James of the de-
partment of physics, on the subject
Some Recent Advances in Spectre
scopy." Mr.. James had a difficult sub
ject for a popular audience, but by
means of stereopticon views and black
board illustrations he succeeded in
making his discourse exceedingly inter
esting to those present. Only a few
of the topics discussed are indicated
here:
Since light effects take time to travel
through space, we assume some me-
dunn through which this radiant en-
ergy is propagated. Such a medium
we call ether. The method of propaga-
ton of this disturbance is known as
wave motion. The ether is disturbed in
much the same way as water when
waves pass through it. Differences in
color are simply differences in wave
length. A wave causing the sensation
of red light is .00OO7, 604 en-. long,
and to produce this wave length the
other vibrates 3,945, 900, 900, 100000 times
per second. For the green light the
wave length is .00,004,S61 en-. long, and
the number of vibrations per second
is 617, 200, 000, 000, 900.
Solids and liquids give continuous
spectra, while heated waves give
spectra characterized by series of
bright lines. When the light is passed
through these vapors we get dark
lines. The spectrum of the sun gives
these dark lines. By comparing the
sun spectrum with the spectra of the
elements it has been shown that all the
elements on earth, with the exception
of about Is, are present in the outer
layer of the sun. If the earth were
heated and incandescent it would pre-
sent about the same appearance as
the sun.
Star SDectra are in general different
from the suns spectrum, often show
ing the presence of elements not COM
mon on earth and absent on the sun.
Spectra of comets show the presence
of carbon in the nucleus. Spectra of
nebula show that they are simply
gases. Our knowledge is thus extended
to the end of the visible universe by
means of the spectroscope, and we are
thus able to say what elements con-
stitute bodies situated at distances
which stagger the Imagination.
The next lecture of the course will
be given next Thursday night by Pro-
fessor Byron Cummings on the sub
ject. Early Greek Art" The lecture
is to be illustrated by stereopticon
views.
