THINGS ONE CANNOT DO.
some Limitations Which Nature Has
Imposed Upon the Most OF
Mankind.

A man cannot rise from chair with
out bending forward, orput ting his feet
under the chair or outside of it, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Many man will back himself to give
another a startof so yards in race of
100, provided the man having the start
hops all the way. But no runner, how
ever swift, can give that amount of
start to an ordinary man. For the
first five yards they go at practically
the same pace. Therefore the runner,
to go IS yards while the hopper" goes
As, would have to run more than twice
as fast, and it would be weak man
who could not hop As yards at pace
equal to 20 seconds for 100 yards; and
that would mean that the runner, in
order to win, would have to beat all
previous records.
II man boasts that his penknife is
particularly sharp, ask him to cut
with one stroke of the blade one of
those yellow ribbons, mostly of silk,
which are around bundles of cigars.
In 999 cases out of l 900 the knife is not
sharp enough to do this. It will cut
through all the ribbon but the last
strand, and that will pull out long, and
the more he tries to cut it the longer it
will pull out
No one except blind man can stand
without support of any kind for five
minute at stretch, if he is thor
oughly bindfolded, without moving
his feet. If he does not move his feet
ne is pretty sure to topple over in
about a minute.

WIRELESS TE.LEGRAPHY.
Capt. Singer Says He May Adopt
the System.

Captain W. II. Singer confirms the
report printed in the News Tribune re-
GENTLY that he is Investigating the wire
less system of telegraphy with view of
est ablishing station on Isle Royale
this season. When asked about the
matter yesterday he said:
Il shall certainly establish wireless
telegraphy at Isle Royale if, after I have
inv. stigated the snbject I find it pract-
lcabe. We have a splendid place for a
station near our dock at Washington
Harder and it has occurred to me that
the system is just what we need if it is
going to be available. I have thought
Of having stations at Washington Harbor
and Eagle Harbor or Duluth. It would
certainly be an impor tant advantage.
Many tourists who would like to spend a
week or two on Isle Royale are reluctant
to go anywhere that they are out of
constant communication with tho out
side world. Such persons are business
men who wish to keep in close tuch with
their affairs. If they could communicate
with Chicago and other places via Eagle
Harbor or come other telegraph point
they would be contented to take the
outing. There are many other good
reasons why means of communication
between tho Island and outside world
would be desirable and important.
expect to get time soon to take this
matter up in earnest and dispose of it. u

FREE IRA YELLING LIBRARIES.

The free travelling libraries through
out the State are increasing very fast,
as the people get better acquainted
with the modus operandi of getting a
library into community. Under the
State law there is a commission ap-
pointed to look after the distribution
OF the books which are put up in
libraries of twenty-five and fifty
volumes, each. Where any ten tax
payers get together and appoint a
librarian and secretary, and make APP
plication to the free travelling library
commission they will have. the use of
the books which are in charge of the
commission. A charge of 81 is made
for the shipment Of a library of fifty
volumes and so cents for one Of twenty
FIVE volumes. Each library can be- kept
six months, and longer by the payment
OF fee of twenty-five cents for each
additional month. The State now has
1856 libraries in circulation. The work

THE House of Representatives of the
national congress voted last week to
build the isthmian canal by the Mica
raugan route, and provided an appro-
priation of $4,000, 900 for work, which
is to begin at one. 1t is expected that
the Senate will pass the bill. Some
say that the trans sentimental railway
interests worked in favor of the bill, as
they think the canal via the Nicara-
guam route will necessitate a heavier
tonnage toll than via the Panama
route, while others think that the fact
that the Nicaraguan route makes New
Orleans 480 and New York 375 miles
nearer San Francisco than by the
Panama route, is much in favor of the
former route.

will bid the lowest rate Of interest on
the amount charged against property.
The bill provides that all tracts Of
land bid in by the State and notassigned
or redeemed within three years, shall
become the absolute property Of the
State. The report says:
So carefully have the provisions Of the bill
been framed that few, if any: certificates can
be successfully assailed after that period. The
object aimed at has been to make tax title as
good as warranty deed after the expiration
of the redemption period. The taxpayer who
resorts to delaying tactics, as is common under
the present law, or counts on clearing up sales.
will in either case find it an Improbable ven
ture. ......- =. III
An amendment to the State constitu-
ton has been proposed, removing GER
tain restrictions upon tax legislation.
The proposed amendment suggests:
That the power of taxation shall never
be surrendered or suspended; that all
taxes shall be uniform upon the same
class of property; that the legislature
may apportion the amount of revenue
to be raised in the various Counties:
that the legislature may authorize
municipalities to levy for local i'm
provements. either upon. the property

The article ''Does Farming Pay?"
under the head of ''Chats With Farm
ers'' which appears in this issue of the
UNION should be read by all farmers,
for there is a lot of good sound sense
in the communication. Mr.. Larson
looks at farming from scientific
standpoint, and if farmers would only
try to take more interest in this phase
OF farming they would find themselves
much richer in the end. It is not so
much the amount of farming as it is
the kind of farming. We: hope Mr..
Larson will come again with another
Interesting article on farming, and
hope to see others send in brief items
on farming to the UNION. Tell us
what you are figuring on doing in the
way of crops for next year.
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1902-01-16

was commenced in June, 1900, with
sixty Libraries. It is estimated for the
past year that the circulation of books
from these libraries amounted to
SO, GOO. The first bill for free travel
ing library was introduced in. the Leg
islature in 1896 and called for an an
nual appropriation of $500. The
writer introduced the bill by request.
It did not meet with much favor from
the country members who looked upon
it as SO much money thrown away, and
was hung up in the house. But in 1899
the legislature passed the bill and it
went into effect at the time stated.
The results have been very gratifying
as the books afford so many isolated
communities good current literature
free as water, and during the winter
months many a farm community
throughout Minnesota finds much
profit and comfort by having access to
the books of the free travelling library.
The library commission includes
Miss Margaret J. Evans, Mortified,
chairman; Miss Gratia Countryman,
Minneapolis, secretary; Miss Clara
Baldwin, Minneapolis, librarian; men,
bers ex-otficio, Cyrus Northrop, presi-
dent State university; State Superin-
