CENSUS QUESTIONS.
People Should Have Their Answers
Ready, and so Save Time.

The census takers will prove quite
inquisitive. The population schedule
blank contains twenty-eight places to
be filled out for each person. The name
of every person living June 1st is to be
secured, the relationship of each per-
son to the head of the family, color or
race, sex, date of birth. condition as to
being married or not. number of years
married, how many children, number
of those living, place of birth, place of
birth of father and mother, condition
as to citizenship. occupation, number
of months attended school, whether
can read, write and speak English, own
ership of home and whether it is free
or mortgaged.
If the people will look up these facts
and have them ready to give the
enumeration it will greatly facilitate the
work of the enumerators. 1t is desir-
able that the city make as good show
ing as possible as to population, and
every assistance in this line should be
afforded the enumerators. The city
ought at least to show population of
II. 500, which would be gain of 300
year since the state census, or not very
much more than the natural increase.

NECESSITY.

Man is born into state of war. His
every act from the cradle to the grave
is constant struggle for something
which he desires to attain. And this
is necessity of his nature. He must
strive for what he gets, and he cannot
help striving, for that propensity is in
nate and he can only do away with it
when he eliminates mentality and
ceases to think. Thought and desire
are the precursors of all action, and
all action is a contact with something =
an overcoming of obstructions-a battle
with something in nature of which he,
himself, is part. There is no rest for
the sole of his foot. from birth to death
And this same law holds good in any
part of nature. 1t is always action and
reaction from microcosm to macro-
cosm, from the grain of sand to the
mightiest orb in space-all are acting
upon each other. And only thus can
the balance of the universe be held in
poise. One extreme always begets an
other. To raise mound you must de-
press the spot from which you take the
material. But, while hollows are as
necessary as hills, if the hollow is made
too deep, or your mound too high, your
pyramid will topple over.
This is the only equality in nature.
Another illustration of the same law is,
the broader the base the higher you
may raise your structure. But it may
be asked, How then, is there any limit
to the heightf" The answer is, if there
were no limit to the base there could
be none to the height. But as l haye
said one extreme always follows an
other and re action are always
equal. If things in nature were not
balanced your attempted pyramid
would become all base, with nothing
left for the superstructure. You might
as well try to find an inside with no
outside-to cut off the top so low as to
leave no bottom.
Nature always regulates itself and
refutes to be managed by anything ex-
cept it's own, innate, inevitable law.
Nature simply is. All law is included
in that term. 1t is the vast affirmative
and can have no negative. 1t cannot
be compared, there being nothing with
which to compare it. But comparison
within this infinity is possible, and
only by such comparison can we NOR
tails hope to advance; and the wider,
the more extended our comparison,
the nearer we approach to unity
The Hindu philosopher long ago
asked this question, What is that,
knowing which everything else will be
known?" The plain answer is Know
Thyself." Knowing this you know all.
For man contains within himself the
elements of the whole. The Greeks
said Necessity compels the go DIS
whereupon the philosopher asked
"What need of the gods them" The
answer is, the gods are necessary ideas
of man and to put it in our own Ian
guage God is necessity in action. And

Races Were Held.

AS q result of last evenings races at
the Coliseum track Miller, the long
/ distance rider, who has been laid up
at the hospital since his mishap Tues
day evening, will undoubtedly receive
a considerable sum Of money. The races
were held for his benefit and the riders
generously gave their services free. AS
it will be some time before ne is around
again the money will undoubtedly be
keenly appreciated by the plucky rider.
The feature of the evenings race was
the riding Of j. P. Jacobson of this city,
who established new record for the
track. Paced by NewlIirk and Dwyer
on motor, he rode the mile in 1888 20,
which is 3-5th of second faster than
Collects record made early in the sea-
son. Jacobson also rode a five mile
motor paced race with McEachren, the
Canadian champion, and although the
latter won out by nearly half lap he
did not detract any from the credit of
Jacobson's performance. The latter fol-
lowed his pace evenly the whole dist
ance and seemed fresh enough to sprint
at the finish, but his pacemakers failed
to bring him up. The time of the five
miles was 1924, and the time by miles
respectively, 1856 rs, 200, Lao 3-5,
1:54 Is, and 1:4S.
Harry Bill of this city rode a similar
race with Frank CadweIt of Hartford,
but as he was manifestly out of condi-
ton he made a poor showing. Caldwell
won out by nearly two laps, having
ridden the five miles in 9:2S 2-5.
The city championship for one mile.
in which ten local riders competed, was
won by Clyde Chase Of this city in
two straight heats, with Dick" San
field second. The time of the miles
were 2:07 3-5 and 200, respectively. A
pursuit race between Edwards and
Chase was won by the latter after rid
ing two miles IL laps in six minutes
So second.
Saxon Williams OF this city rode an
exhibition mile, paced, in 1:52.
