Montour American. (Danville, Pa.) 1866-1920, 1901-10-10

The sun is about 100000 miles off.
The only way Of measuring the dis
tancc of a fixed star is by parallax, and
scarcely more than half dozen can be
estimated that way.
Suppose the sun is here, in space, on
Jan. /. On July he will be 1S4,OOO,OOO
miles over there. This is the base Of
measurement The observer who wants
to estimate the distance of, say, the
star 4 Ccnturi notes its position with
regard to the next star.
In six months he notes again. and if
they are separated by a different dis
tance a so called parallaX is established
and some calculation can be made of
the distance Of the nearest one. In the
most favorable cases this parallaX Is
extremely light

High Mountains of the Moon

The LeibnitZ range attain enormous
attitudes above the average level of the
moons surface and are sometimes seen
projected far beyond the regular curva-
ture of disk, thus destroying the circu-

serrated aspect. Several of the peaks
of these southern mountains measure
10000 feet in altitude, While one has

dered Froelich's Memories Of Memorial
Address by DIR. STAFFORD.

Rev. d. ]. Stafford was then introduced
In the beginning of his address he referred
to the beauty and the magnitude OF the
scene as profoundly touching. There, he
said, ''is the Goddess cf Liberty, shining in
the May sunlight, and the lamp of knowl-
edge on the Library of Congress enlightcn-
ing the national capital and all other ma
tions of the world" DR.. Stafford spoke OF
the national development made possible by
the venerable men before him. and of the
gratitude which Americans should feel to
sll those soldiers of freedom who. fell on
plain and hillside, in forest and in matted
brush. I'VE gather them all In memory,
he said, ION this day, which we may well
call all souls and all saints day in the
civil order. We call them all back today In
memory to do them honor.
The foundation of the American Union
and the enunciation of the doctrine of hu-
man equality. DR.. Stafford said, was the
greatest act in the civil history of the
world 1t was not only the beginning of
new nation. but of a new civilization, of

M E N O RIAL DAY
Continued from First Page.)

1t was not a day for the discussion of SUBJ
jects upon which honest men differ, but a
day rather when, if ever, the sentiment
which underles it should be considered. 1t
was a season of the highest and hollest
sentiments. and he trusted 1t would be al
ways observed as a day when patriotism,
fidelity to country. fidelity to principles and
the highest manliness shall be the attrac-
tive themes. 1t would be so today, for
while those present were gathered formally
in obedience to the cali of the commander
of the G. A, r.. an order whose structure
rested upon the fundamental principles of
fraternity, charity and loyalty to the re-
public. they were gathered also in obedi-
ence to a command which issued from
every loyal heart in the country. 1t was
eminently fitting that the men who sur
vived the shock of battle should meet to
deck the graves and commemorate the
virtues of their fallen comrades. There
was, however, in the very character of SOL
dier organizations a sad feature in perfect
accord with the sympathies and sugges-
tions of the beautiful offices celebrated to
day.
The Grand Army could not increase be-
yond certain limits, and he eioquently de-
picted how the veterans must feel as they
saw their already broken circle rapidly
diminishing. After describing how other
nations and other peoples had honored
their dead heroes, Mr.. Wright spoke as fol-
lows
COmmemOratiOn Of ValOr.
ITO u.s. proudeSt OF nations, has been
given this welcome duty. to inaugurate this
yearly commemoration of the valor Of the
soldiers of the people. 1t has been re-
served to a republic first as an epoch in
time to honor as most precious her COM
mon dead. Well may it be so, for the bat
ties they fought We're in defense of the
liberties and laws Of the common people.
To them has arisen grander, a nohler

alton of a great thought and the general
acceptance of it there is chaSm. Between
theory and practice there is an abyss.
Extreme Men on Both Sides.
In tracing the history of the American
republic, the orator said that in the begin
ming there were extreme men on both sides.
One side contended for centralized gov
ernment and would have nothing of
Capitalization. Fortunately in the conven-
ton resulting in the American Constitution
neither of these schools of thought had it's
way. Neither succeeding. they divided in
the matter of the construction of the Con-
stitution, the leader of one side being WASH
ington and of the other jefferson. The con-
flict between those who believed in the
Capitalization of power and those who be-
lieved in the dissipation of power continued
till 1861.
The question had been often asked, but
never answered, whether the Union was a
single government or a confederation. The
question had been asked in discussing the
Missouri, the Kansas-Nebraska and the
southern reputation issues but it had been
always answered by compromise-never
squarely answered. Finally the answer to
the question was submitted to the arbitra-
ment of the sword. Dr.. Stafford contended
that the civil war was not causeless one:
that slavery was but an incidental cause,
and that the unity of the United States
| dates from AppomattoX, when Lee. who
had led an army unto death, and unto
deatn ana unto Qedtn, untll II was no
longer heroic to die, appeared before the
victors, who welcomed him, not with the
manner of victor, but who welcomed him
back into the Union as brother.
1t was the civil war, DR.. Stafford said
which made of the principles enunciate ed In
1T76 an actuality. The danger today, he
said, lies not in the dissipation of power.
but in its too great Capitalization. The
pendulum swings from one extreme to the
other but the safety of the Union and
of it's institutions is in the devotion, the
intelligence and the patriotism of its peo-
pie.
At the close of DR.. Stafford's address
John S. NJ. Zimmerman, bandmaster of the
Soldiers Home Band, played a cornet SOLO
Rev Eugene Hannah, chaplain at the
Home, delivered prayer; the choir, band
and assembly joined in America" and the
bugler sounded taps
At noon the ceremony of raising and sa-
luting the American flag was performed
and salute Of twanty-on guns was fired
by the Soldiers Home Battery. under COM
mand of Ordnance Sergeant Joseph Mas.
THE Star Spangled Banner was sung by
all present, the hand accompanying, and
the exercises were at an end.

The exercises today at Congressional
cemetery were under the direction of Ivory
G. Kimball Junior vice department ccm-
mander of the Grand Army of the Republic.
The beauty of the morning was in large
part responsible for an immense attend
ance. From an early hour streams of hu-
manity moved toward the cemetery from
many directions. Almost every one carried
something in the way of a floral offering,
and soon the city of the dead was trans
formed into a fragrant. picturesque in
