A Child's Disposition

May be ruined through existing defects in
eyeSight. Children are often called dull and
stupid by teachers and parents through no
fault or their own. Perhaps born with a
defect in sight, they don't know of any differ
ent world from that which they see through
defective eyes. Mark any peculiarities that
children may have in looking at objects at a
distance or near by. Squirting, frowning,
looking sidewise, with partially closed eyes
are indications of eye troubles Better be
over cautious in having ,child's eyes
examined than to take too much responsible
ity into your own hands. Examination free.
CHILDREN'S EYES
Should have careful attention. They
should be examined at the first complaint by

BUILDING THE PYRAMIDS.
Huge Stones Moved by an Inclined
CaUseNaY.

One of the problems that have inter-
ested arch@ologists, engineers and ar
chitects for many years has been to as
certain the means employed by the an
clients in carrying on building or engi.
neering works where masses of materia!
had to be moved considerable distances.
Com paratively little is forthcoming to
explain a number of these operations,
SO that any new theory or facts sug-
costing theory are likely TO occasion
considerable interest. One of the most
recent hypothesis in this connection is
presented by writer in Construction
Moderne, and describes a way in which
the Egyptian obelisks were possibly
erected AS some of these are over 100
feet in height and cut from a single
piece of stone, weighing often as much
as 1000 tons, it will be seen that TO set
them in position is quite matter, even
for modern engineering skill. In the
plan proposed it is assumed that an in
clined causeway of sand or other ma
terial was constructed, with its height
equal TO that of the obelisk to be
erected.
At the end was built strong wooden
crihwork, and the space beyond where
the foundation was located was filed
in with sand From the top of this road
way an inclined shoot of strong con-
struction led to the base Using wood 1
rollers. the huge stone would be drawn
up the incline, and by means of tackle
tilted in such a way as to fail into the
sand, being guided by the shoot so that
the lower end would reach the base or
foundation on which it was destined TO
rest. By hauling on the tackle fastened
to the top of the obelisk and digging
away the sand beneath and at the sides
the shaft would eventually be set in po-

The governor of this state has
delivered his message to the
legislature. The document was
plain and comprehensive and is
highly commendable in many
ways. 1t recommended a
general revision of the tax laws
relating to railroad, insurance,
express, telephone and trust
companies doing business in
Wisconsin, in such a way that a
more uniform and equable
system may be established and
that uniform tax of four per
cent of the gross earnings OF all
roads be collected. His utter
ances on the biennial estimate
of expenditure, of a better system
of bookkeeping, of the subject
of pardons and the pass question
were all commendable. The
above reforms were all in keep
ing with the platform of the
Republican party. His I'M
pardonable sin was committed
when he touched upon the
primary election law.
AS predicted by the TIMES
last week, the Republicans Of
the old school would cling tena-
ciously to the delegate system
of nominating officers. That the
Governor belongs to this class
of politicians is evident from the
recommends made inhis message.
The idea of patching up a law
that was intended from the first
as simply a dodge to evade the
wishes of the people is ridiculous.
There is no doubt, however, that
this will be the plan adopted by
the old machine politicians to
prolong the delegate system
another two years. The Govern
or will find that he has struck d
sympathetic chord among the
"ward healers" and the caucus
manipulators with in his party
and his recommendations may
be carried through, but that it
is not in keeping with the plat
form decorations and the wishes
of a large majority of the Repub-
lican party is evident.
The Governor message will
be found elsewhere in this paper.

dence there, her husband pur-
chased farm in the town of
Rush River on which they lived
until a few years ago, since when
much of her time has been spent

family of eight children four are
living, two sons and two daugh-
tiers, one sonresiding in Church's
Ferry, N. Dakota, and the other
in Glendale, South Dakota. One
daughter, Mrs. H. Wilson, re-

The deceased was confined to
her bed but one week and her
death was a severe shock to her
