The Journal from Grand Forks, N. D.,
says: Coming political events are not
casting their shadows before them in
North Dakota with any great distinct
ness, and, although the beginning of
the legislative session is only week
distant, nobody can speak with much
certainty as to the probable outcome of
the senatorial contest. It is claimed
that Senator Hansbrough, who is seek
ing reelection, is in the lead and
that he will lead in the legislative eau.
Gus, but beyond this 1t does not seem
safe to go at this time. Certain political
'straws," unimportant to themselves,
and which in a different sort Of contest
would not be regarded as being sig
nifcant,
Point in Hansbrough's Direct on,
and it is possible that they indicate
what, in the end, will be the prevailing
wind, but any definite conclusions
based upon them at present might be
misleading and land ones guess far
from the mark.
The ~ votes OF the opposition i'll the
next legislature, it is said, will not go
to Hansbrough according to the latest
report. The votes will go to silver
man and he will get the support of the
Populist and Democratic members.
This will complicate matters and n
votes used at the proper time will, no
doubt, carry the election, should the
Republican caucus not decide. No
man has been selected for the support
Of that faction yet.

Two bottles were thrown overheard

ed, one on Andros island w. l., the other
on the shores of Finisterre. France. An
other pair likewise was thrown over
board within a few miles Of each other
near the northern limits of the Gulf
stream. No. l reached it's destination

April %, 1896, in latitude 200 south,
longitude 1925 west, and picked up Sep
tember 8, on the African coast, at the

This bottle, set adrift in the strong
south equatorial current, must have
been transferred to the Guinea current,
and by it carried to the exceptionally
northern position on the coast Of Africa
at which it was recovered.
Dividing the list into groups accord
ing to latitude, each bottle being al
loted to the group covering the latitude
within which the great portion Of it's
drift lies, the following average veloci-

groups are obtained:
