recital of hard fighting, brilliant dashes,

On New Years Day Jennie was able to
be out on the street. and to her friends

Sarsaparilla, and every one of them
knew it was this great medicine that had
given back her health.

ELECTRICITY FROM OCEAN.
Old Idea to Utilize Wave Power in
a New Guise


a New Guise.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-A new corpo-
ration has appeared which promises
not only to furnish electricity to all
the world, but to do it at cost of
tenth the present rates. The heads
of the new concern propose to utilize
the power Of the waves by means of
compressed air.
1t Is an old idea, they admit, but for
the first time, they say, the plan has
been reduced to a practicable working
basis. The works where the expert
ment has been going on are near Gall
lee, N. ]. The company has secured
an option for a large tract Of land
on Rockaway beach. where plant is
to be erected.
The corporation which Is doing all
this is called the Ocean Power COM
pany, incorporated under the laws of
West Virginia, with q capitalization
of $5,O00,000. Herbert E. Rider, of 10
Wall street, the inventor Of the pro-
cess, says:
cat present the cost Of electric pow
er Is $50 to SIS per year per horse pow
er In each engine. Each incandescent
light Of sixteen candle power now in
use costs the buyer one cent per hour.
Our process will reduce this cost 80 per
cent A mans bill, which now amounts
to 800 per year, will be reduced to
s1O."
The modus operandi of Mr.. Riders
invention is simple. Movable buoys
anchored at sea and operated by the
power of the waves will be used to
compress the air which is to be con-
veyed to q power-house on the shore.
The compressed air will operate dyna-
mos and engines which will generate
the electricity to be distributed over

nLOBe'S MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE,
" 20 WASHINGTON Az. SOUTH.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 9.-Over 100
young men from all parts of the state
met in the lecture room of the Y. M. G.
"A building this afternoon at the OPEN
ing meeting of the twenty-fifth con-
Vention of the state association. After
a short service of prayer led by Charles
N. Hunt, of st. Paul, the convention
was called to order. c. w. Lewis, st.
Paul was elected temporary chairman,
i. P. Savage, Minneapolis, temporary
secretary. A nominating committee
was appointed and retired to prepare
list of permanent officers to submit to
the convention.
Prof. A. E. Haynes, chairman of the
state central committee, read the re-,
port of the committee for 1898. When
showed that the past year had been
one of great prosperity in association
work A new association has been
formed in st. Paul with membership
of over 400, under the leadership of
Edwin Grace, who has accomplished a
great work in the organization. New
associations have also been formed in
Willmar, Montevideo, CrookSton and
Moorehad, and work will soon be be-
gun toward organizing an association
in saltwater.
The army work has been a new fea-
ture in the west and has been main
tanned with great earneStness, ardor
and success. The Minnesota associa-
tions have contributed $1,000 to the
work, and have association in all the
Minnesota regiments.
The committee recommended to the
convention that the student vacation
work be continued during the next
summer. that a general state secretary,
financial secretary, assistant secretary
and office secretary. be engaged for the
coming year; that army work be con-
tinued; that a memorial be prepared
and presented to William Francis in
honor of the remarkable work which
he has done in the state during the past
ten years, and that the convention pass
a resolution requesting the president Of
the United States to abolish the army
canteen.
The following permanent officers
were elected. by adopting the report of
the nominating committee: President,
i. c. Seley. Minneapolis; first vice pres
ident, G.. NJ. Palmer, Mankato; second
vice president, G. W. Lyman, st. Paul; (;
third vice president L. E. AShball; sec
retary, A. E. Peterson; assistant secre-
tary, T. A. Olson; press secretary, L. T.
Savage.
An interesting fact in connection
with the election of I. c. Seeley as
president of the convention Is that he
was also president of the first state
convention ever held in Minnesota,
which met In st. Paul just twenty
years ago. =
The anniversary exercises OF the convention
were held in the Y. NJ. c. A. auditorium in
the evening. Addresses of welcome to the
city and the association were made by Mayor
Gray and Hector Baxter. Short reminiscent
Speeches were made by D. c. Bell J. D.
Blake D. c. Hill and William Petram. Presi-
dent l. C. Seeley read an interesting paper,
reviewing the work and progress of the asso-
citation since Its inception in London SO years
ago.
