How Fast wild Geese Fly.

H. Helm Clayton In Science.
During the three days ending March q
numerous fiocks of geese dRere seen migrat-
iEg northward, Of, rather fortheastward,
since they were following the general trend
of the coast line, which, in New England;
Is nearly northeastward north Of Cape Cod.
On the morning of March %, while A. E.
Sweetland and were measuring clouds, at
the ends of base line 1,17s.4 meters in
length. extending from the Blue Hill me-
neurological observatory to the base of Blue
Hill, we succeeded in measuring, with our
cloud theodolites. the height and the We
locity of fight of one Of these fiocks of
geese. So rapid is the velocity of flight
that the flock was visible to the observers
only about two minutes. but during that
time two sets of measurements were taken
with the theodolites on the leader of the
flock.
The first measurements, at $40 a.m were
accurately taken at the observatory sta
ton, but were only approximate at the
other station. The second measurements at
$50 am, were accurate and simultaneous
at both stations. Using the second set Of
observations at both stations for the height
and the two sets of observations at the
observatory station for the velocity, the
calculations gave the height as 905 feet
above the Neponset river valley, of $50 feet
above sea level, and the velocity of flight as
A.3 miles an hour. The direction Of fight
was from southwest to northeast.
On previous occasion, as described in
Science Of January l, we found a flock of
ducks flying from the northeast at a height
of 95S feet, with a velocity of 47.S miles an
hour

FRIDAY
THE ANNEXATION TREATY.

The news received through the
Associated Press in San Francis
co. to the effect that the friends of
annexation in the Senate could
not count on over 30 votes for the
ratification of the treaty. confirms
previous private advices. The
gradual shifting of the Hawaiian
matter from national to q party
issue has been almost impercepti-
bic. This is due to causes which
need not now be discussed at
length. 1t was clearly President
Mckinley's intention to keep it
free from partisan attacks, but he
cannot control the exigencies OF
politics. We alluded. some days
ago, to the possible action of the
silver Republicans, who might, in
order to obtain concessions from
the President, give him their sup
port in his annexation policy. If
he refused to make any, they
would refuse to make up for him
the 60 votes needed for ratifica
ton.
The probable failure to secure
the requisite vote may be partial
ly due to this circumstance.
If the friends of annexation in
the Senate have finally concluded
to postpone ratification, and press
a Joint resolution of both Houses
for annexatiOn,> there are, no
doubt. good reasons for their ac-
ton. But annexation by joint re-
solution, while it will be just as
effective, involves much debate in
both Houses and delays. 1t will
require, also, new action by the
Hawaiian Government and Sen
ate. While we have been hopeful
that the matter would be disposed
of early in the present session, we
have been painfully aware of the
wrecked hopes that lie in heaps
before the doors of Congress. But
the men who "enlisted for the
war" must not be discouraged
For them ''the sun never SETS"
The majority for annexation in
both Houses seems to be quite
enough to pass the Resolution.
The next mail may bring the news
that it is already on its passage.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

The message is unusually eXpli
cate and full, on the several inn
pOrtant subjects present to Con
gress.
The treaty of annexation is dis
cussed at some length, and the
President re-states his opinion on
the Importance of the measure.
He asserts that: ''the largest poll
teal liberties as an internal part
of our nation will be accorded to
the Hawaiians." He accepts, in
ferentiaily, as he did on the negO-
tiation of the treaty, that the pre-
sent Government of Hawaii could
give good title to the United
States of the territory of the Re
public.
Regarding the relations of Ha-
waii and Japan he says he is graft
fed to learn that: "the apprehen-
sions at first displayed on the part
of Japan lest the cessations of
Hawaii's national life through an
nexation might impair privileges
to which Japan honorably laid
claim. have given place to con
fidence in the Government and the
sincerely of it's purpose to deal
with all possible Interior ques-
tons in the broadcast spirit of
friendliness." This is not a lingo
spirit, and indicates very clearly
that the President does not pro
pose to ride rough shOd in any di-
rectiOn. He will treat the immi-
grafton, and observation-disclosures
treaty with the fact and tie law.
He does not intend to let this diff
Guilty interfere with annexation,
and he is equally determined that
whatever the rights uf the ia
panese are, they will be fully pro-
tected

press. declares that Japan will in.
sist upon the protection of the
treaty rights in Hawaii. in the ev-
ent Of annexation. His fear has
been that these might be ignored.
and the japanese be left AS
the Presidents message clearly
asserts the intention 10 protect
those rights, harmonious relations
will be undisturbed. The rights
will be settled by arbitration and
all parties will respect the decis-
ion of the arbitrator.
Mr.. HOshi repeats the complaint
made before by the japanese that
the Hawaiian Government, in
stead of asking the japanese Gov
eminent to modify the existing
treaty, simply proceeded TO VIC
late it, and them when it was vio-
lated, justified its act. But the
arbitrator will decide that issue.
1t is idle business to discuss it
now. We have made up our case,
in our own way, and must abide
the result of it.

This is the only remedy that is
