THE RECORD BLOCK.
Canon City to have One of the Best
Newspaper Buildings In the
State of Colorado.

Building mas Degun on the Mack
lots. Jensen & Hawkey got the con-
tract, and they began to stir the
ground up the first of the week.
Mr.. Guy U. Hardy, of the RECORD.
has taken an interest with the Macks
in the building, and it will be known
as The RECORD BLOCK. The first
idea in view will be to build one of
the best possible newspaper offices
ever put up in small city, which be-
fore the Greenhorn is green again
we trust will be about ready for oc-
cupancy.
The building covers froat width
of sixty-six feet. The ground floor
will be divided into three deep store
rooms % feet wide. The first, next
door to Mr.. Arthur, will be 60 feet
deep and will be a very neat building
for most any small line of business.
The next door, in the center, will be
the permanent home of The RECORD.
There is nothing that a small news
paper Office needs that this room will
not have. 1t is probable that this
room will serve The RECORDS require
ments long time. but as Canon
grows and demands a more metropol-
itan newspaper, enough room will be
found in this building to put out a
paper as big as the Gazette or some
of the Denver dailies. 1t is certainly
safe to predict that for great many
years to come THE RECORD BLOCK
will be the home of the leading news
paper in this city and section.
The next room east If The RECORD
Office will be ITO feet deep. The
front room will be 60 feet deep, back
of which will be two story affair
basement and warehouse. This will
be suitable for any good sized mercan-
tile establishment. All the rooms
have practically been rented.
Arrangements are now being per-
fected with one Of the popular and
fast growing lodges of the city to
take the entire second floor. The
owners are preparing to put in one of
the most convenient and elegant
suites of lodge rooms ever occupied
by Canon lodge. They consist of a
large lodge room about 40x50 feet.
This will have light and air from a
full series of windows in front and
back. The room will he fitted with
an elegant maple floor. and will un-
doubtedly become popular gather
ing place. Then there will be a din
ing room about l6x2S feet. If the
occasion ever demands it this would
make an admirable billiard room.
Then besides the paraphernalia rooms
there will be three ante and reception
rooms Of fair size. For lodge pur-
poses there will be, first, entry and
cloak room, the next the tyler's room
and the third a waiting and prepara.
tion room for candidates. In case of
balls or other society affairs these
rooms will be very suitable for re-
ception parlors, and will be ample for
the purpose if the lodge ever desires
to add club rooms to its equipment.
Altogether the new RECORD BLOCK
will be pretty respectable looking
building, and when it is Joined on the
east by Baker & Biggs' new block it
will be in the best built up and most
substantiol business section of the

THE MINISTER'S FAMILY.
Their Clothes Criticised, be They Fine

or Shabby.
"a Minister'S Wife," writing on
@sCriticising the Clothes of the Min
listers Family" in the October Ladies'
Home Journal, asks "why the cloth
ing of the. minister's wife is of more
public consequence than that of the
doctors family? Everybody helps to
support the doctor as well as the min
lster,' she contends, $50 it scarcely
seems possible that it can be because
the parishioners feel that the appear
ance of poverty on his part reflects
upon their generosity. Some one SAYS
that it is because the minister and his
family seem to be a part of each
household in the church, so dear and
close is the. relationship. Surely then
the very closeness of the tie is but
another reason why there should be
an absence of criticism, and avoidance
OF hurt on the part of the congrega-
ton. Cannot the minister's. wife be
trusted to make. the very best possible
appearance that her husbands salary
will permit her to make? When a
woman is expected to nlingle on
terms of equality with the wealthy as
well as the humble she naturally does
not want, for her husbands sake as
well as her own, to be noticeably bad
ly dressed, any more than she wishes
to bring upon herself the charge of
extravaganza. What she really de-
sires, more than anything else, is to
manage. SO well that she is able to pass
unnoticed, SO far as her clothes are
concerned"

SUMS DESTINATION.
The Point Toward which IL and the
Planets Are Moving.

The Point Toward Which 1t and the
Planets Are Moving.
More than century ago Sir Nv liam
Hierschel was able to fix roughly what
we call the apex OF the suns way In
space, or the point among the stars
toward which that way is directed.
Hersehel found that comparison Of
old stellar observations seemed to In
dicate that the stars in a certain part
Of the sky were opening -out, as it
Were, and that the consultations In
the opposite part OF the heavens
seemed to be drawing in, or becoming
smaller There can be but one reason
able explanation of this. We must be
moving toward that part Of the sky
where the stars are separating. Just as
a man watching a regiment Of soldiers
approaching will see at first only a
confused body of men. But as they
come nearer the individual soldiers will
seem to separate, until at length each:
one is seen distinct from all the others.
Herschel fixed the position of the apex
at a point in the constellation Her
cules. The most recent investigations
t OF .NeWcomb, published only a few
months ago, have, on the whole, verb
fed HerscheIs conclusions. Later in
7vestigators have Increased the precis-
ion Of our knowledge, until we can now
say that the present direction of the
solar motion is known within very
narrow limits. A tiny circle might be
drawn on the sky, to which an astrono-> g
mer might point his hand and say:
Yonder little circle contains the goal
toward which the sun and planets are
fastening today. Even the speed of
this motion has been subjected to
measurement and found to be about
ten miles per second. The objective
point and the rate of motion thus
stated, exact science nolds her peace.
Here genuine knowledge stops; and
we can proceed further only by the aid
of that imagination which men Of
science need to curb at every moment.
But let no one think that the sun will
ever reach the so-called apex. To do
SO would mean cosmic motion On a
straight line, while every considera-
ton of celestial mechanics points to
motion on a curve. When shall we (
turn sufficiently upon that curve to
detect it's bending? 1t is a problem
that we must leave as rich heritage
to generations that are to follow us.
The visionary theorists notion of a
great central sun, controlling our own
suns way in space, must be dismissed
as far too daring. But for such a CEN
trail sun We may substitute a central
center of gravity, belonging to a great
system Of which our sun is but an in
significant member Then we reach a
conception that has lost nothing in
the grandeur Of it's simplicity, and is =
yet in accord with the probabilities of
sober mechanical science. We cease to
be lonely world, and stretch out the
bonds of a common relationship to
yonder stars within the ARMAMENT

Heard in n Balloon.

j. M. Bacon, the Englishman who,
with his daughter, made a lofty blloon
ascent to observe the meteor shower
last November, tells some interesting
things about the sounds that reached
their ears. At height of 5000 feet
the ringing Of horses feet on a hard
road could be heard. At 1000 feet
the sDlashing sound made by ducks
in a pond was audible. The barking
OF dogs and the growing of cocks
could be heard at 1000 or 5000 feet.
These sounds penetrated through a
white floor Of cloud which hid the
earth from sight. In the perfect 81
lence of the air around the balloon
they were startled by what seemed
stealthy footsteps close at hand.
Investigation showed that the sound
was caused by the stretching Of the
ropes and the yielding of the silk as
the balloon continued to expand
