APPRAISERS ASKED FOR.
Kennebec Water District File Bill in
Equity, Friday.
IrIsttes csnnot Az &c on Terms With the
Maine Water Co.

1t seems that there is destined to be-
llttIe law suit in connection with the
turning over of the franchise OF In.
Maine Water Co. at Waterviile anu
Wlnsiow. to the Kennebec Water Dis
trlct. The trustees of the Water Dis

Courts w. S. Choate. Friday, against
the city of Waterville. the Fairfield
village Corporation. the WaterVille
Water Co, the Maine Water Co.. the
Portland Trust Co. and the Maine
trust and Banking Co. The Water
District states that it is corporation
duly authorized by charter to acquire
by purchase. or by the exercise of emf
nent domain, the plant, property and
franchises. rights and privileges. now
held by the Maine Water Co, within
the district, and towns of Benton and
Winslow. The charter also provides
mat should the trustees of the district
fall to agree with the Maine Water 60.
upon terms of the purchase Of tho
property. they shall file a bill in equity
III the supreme court TO procure judi
clous appraisal ana continuation
They say that they have failed 10
agree upon the price and hence the bill
in equity. They pray for the appoint
ment of appraisers who shall appraisr
and condemn the property. and il is
also asked that the complainant be di-
rected TO make payment Of the amount
of the valuation to the parties legally
entitled thereto.
This action involves quite an amount
or property, the largest in fact Of any
case brought into the kcnnebec courts
in many years. There is also a rumor
that there is something behind all this
in the failure of the trustees to make
terms, as it is said the Saco K Ridde-
ford Water Co. is urging and using its
influence to make the Maine Wafer Co.
hang off as long as possible and 10
secure for them the largest price pos
sible, as there is said 10 be n scheme
on foot TO secure the same sort of a
district in those Two cities. where the
citizens are said to h dissatisfied with
the service
1t is alleged in the hill Of equity that
the water furnished by the Maine Wa
ter Co. is unfit for use. hence the com
pany has forfeited it's rights and fran
chises. II is also alleged that the rates
are excessive and unreasonable.

WHICH FOOT WALKS FASTER?
A Close Observer Explains How Everyone Has
Feet Of Unequal Gait.

(Which foot walks the faster?" You
may think it is very silly question to
ask, but Is it," says close observer of
human nature. There is no catch about
it. 1t is simple demonstrable fact
which you can prove to Your own salts
faction in a very few minutes
IF YOU will take any pavement that is
clear Of other pedestrians, 50 that there
shall be no interference, and walk brisk
~ in the center. you will find that before
you have gone a hundred yards you will
have veered very much 10 one side. You
must not make any conscious effort, Of
course, to keep in the center, or you may
do it; but if you will think of something
ana endeaVor to walk naturally. it is a
hundred ~ one you cannot keep direct
line.
The explanation of this lies in the pc
culiarity of one foot to walk faster than
the other. Or, to he more correct, per
haps, it should be said that one leg takes
a longer stride than the other, and this
combined with the quick movement.
causes one to walk more to one side than
the other.
1T is well known, for instance, that If
one is lost in the woods. the tendency is
to walk in circle and eventually to re-
turn to about the starting point. This
demonstrates the fact also that one foot
walks faster than the other.
You can try an interesting expert
ment in this way ii you will place two
stakes in the lawn about eight feet apart.
and then stand off about sixty feet, al
low yourself TO be blindfoded, and en-
deavor to walk between them. You Will
lind it an almost Impossible task. because
one foot will 90 bit faster than the 9th
er either to the right or left Now,
which one Of your feet walks faster than
the other?"
