the necessity of long detour as at pres

the city. This is probably the busiest

possibility Of another outlet for it will be
welcomed by many rural residents. A

pleasure can turn conveniently onto the

it is planned to continue the road from
the approach to the bridge on into the city
on the other side Of Spring lake. This
bit Of work would give the long desired
connection between Superior boulevard
and the city system of streets and would
be greatly, appreciated not only by those
driving out from the city but by farmers
coming in.

Agitation for better connection between
country roads and city streets has been
renewed this time with fair prospect of
success. There has already been one
meeting Of interested property owners to
take up the matter Of improvements in the

we do not understand that centrifugal
force urges the water towards the tEqua
tor Centrifugal force simply tends to
throw the water on. and thus practically
makes the water lighter. The effect, OF
course, Is greatest q bout the Equator.
where the centrifugal force Is greatest.
Hence the. true sea level, or the shape the
ocean would take If It covered the earth.
would be bugIng at the Equator, That
is, IL would be further from the center
OF the earth to the surface there than at
the poles. That. then. Is the. true level.
and that Is what determines the flow OF
water
Water always flows from higher point
to a lower one. 1t does SO both In the
Mississippi and In the Nile. But this low
er point may be- as we have said, further
from the carth's center than the higher
one Yet, counted by the true level sur
face. It is really lower, and hence causes
the water to flow. If the source OF tho
Nile Is. as stated, three-quarters OF q
mile above the true level OF the sea. there
is no reason in the world why It should
not flow Into the sea.
