Doesn't Respect Old Age.

It's shameful when youth
fails to show proper respect for
old age, but just the contrary
in the case of DR.. Kings New
Life Pills. They cut off mala-
dies no matter how severe and
irrespective of old age. Dy-
spepsia, jaundice, fever, con-
stipation all yield to this perfect
Pill. Csc, at Elliott & Harveys

A Wonderful Age.

The man who has been per-
mitted to live in the Goth cen
tury is a lucky man. Fifty
years ago when you W ,nted to
hear from New York City you
had to wait perhaps two or
three months for an answ " to
a letter. Last week, when our
son Earl was dangerously sick,
we went to the Central tele-
phone station in this city and
told Mr.. Ed Reed that we
wanted to talk to o., son,
Frank Harris, in New York
City. In twenty minutes Mr..
Reed informed us the line was
'sopen" and we called Frank up
and talked with him. His voice
sounded the same as if he had
been in the next room to us,
and we could recognize his
voice and it sounded as natural
as if he had stepped into the
office and spoken to us. When
Won think that no was two
thousand mile; away from us,
yet his voice was clear and dis
tinct, itindeed seems incredible.
Perhaps the next hundred
years will bring electricity to
such perfect stage that one
will be able to see the person
he is talking to two thousand
miles away.

the record made by the men under the
control Of the police commission Is pased
the strongest indictment that can pe

the course OF his remarks the mayor
said

that the liduor men have told them that
the law has been so rigidly enforced that
many of them have not taken out their

by patrolmen OF more than 1000 violations

It is announced that the German
government has placed a naval vessel
at the disposal OF Mr.. IA, 4 Lawrence
Rotch Of Boston, the director Of the
/ Blue Hul Meteorological station Of
Harvard observatory, for the purpose
Of enabling him to carry ont his long
cherished plan Of Investigating BY
means OF kites the air currents above
the great trade winds Of the tropics
Mr. Rotch's cruise, It Is expected, will
Inst about three months and will cover
the middle Atlantic between Africa
and South America. 38l f.s III ,sf'
The problem involved is one which
scientific men are almost entirely ig-
snorant about, and il Is believed that It
can be solved only BY means Of special
" constructed Kites, such as have been
used for similar purposes at the Blue
Hill observatory for q number Of years
past. When flown from the deck Of a
moving steamship 1t has been proved
that these can be sent to unusually
great heights, for If above the surface
winds a stratum of motionless air In
#tervenes the vessel can be urged for
ward So as to, pull the kite up into the
next breezy tract. Mr.. Rotch originated
this form Of scientific kitefying lit
tie over year ago and has had the
satisfaction OF seeing it generally
adopted by European meteorologists as
being far more effective than flying the
kites from stationary base. I q
Some preliminaries in the way Of
equipment OF the expedition have still
to be arranged, but it is the hope Of
the Harvard meteorologists to have
everything in readiness for start next
July. Given the use Of vessel COM
pletely manned and equipped the cost
Of the expedition to America will not
be above $4,000.

THE BICYCLE FOR 1903.
ChaanIess Coaster Brake with Change
" able Gear the New Model.

ChaanIess Coaster Brake with Change
aable Gear the New Model.
I Nheelmen generally will be glad to
know that the new models in bicycles
S2fcr this year show a decided all around
Improvement, says the New York
\ sTribssile. This wheel is not only a
chainless coaster brake, but it possesses
still another advantage in that it has a
changeable gear, something long
sought for by riders and manufacture
sers on both sides Of the Atlantic.
.ss5 The new s. models are arranged In
three styles, the low gear being 50 in
each instance, and the high gears being
81 a 101, The new mechanism ia
contained in the rear hub and is said
to be simple and not likely to get out Of
order. When the rider, using, say, a
101 gear on the level or in going down
hill, comes to an incline and wishes to
reduce his gear to 68, all he has to do
is to give q slight pressure on the pedal
and the gear Is reduced. When the
coaster brake is wanted the pressure. on
the pedal ID made more pronounced.
While 1t liz admitted that high gears
are much IN favor. the fnct that wheeas
90 geared were hard TO ride against tho
high wind or up q hffi caused lower
gears 10 prevail tho hast two years.
With two gears the chances are that
many riders win accept the 81 and 10l
gears for regular road use. The new
principle cannot be attached to the old
bicycles even tho chainless coaster
brake Of hast year. The new models
win be made In both diamond and drop
frame styles. The cest Of the new
wheel will be- $685.
