The Aberdeen Democrat. (Aberdeen, South Dakota) 1???-1909, 1903-08-21

appropriation Of 800, 900 toward the
completion of the monument, the chief
of engineers examined that part of
the shaft which had been standing for
half a century and discovered that it
was out of plumb. But just how much
out of plumb nobody could say. The
shaft was 1877 feet high and looked like
a factory chimney, and it didn't stand
straight. That was sufficient to cast
doubt on the possibility of raising it
over 800 feet higher in the air, but no
body in the engineers department
could get at the problem.
Davis happened to be stationed in
Washington and he said he could fix
it. He was not ar engineer, but an
infantry officer, but they gave him a
Chance To try. The difficulty was in
causing the plumb bobs or weights at
the end of a string 1877 feet long to re-
main perfectly steady while the OBJ
servations were being made. Davis
very simply got a barrel of New Or
leans molasses and poured it into a
glass vessel Of the same size. The con-
sistency Of the mollasses kept the
weight at the enc of the string from
swaying in the air; while the glass
and the fluid were transparent enough
to enable the variations to be accu-
rately observed. It vas found that the
shaft was five feet out of plumb. Then
came the question of Strengthening it
and again the engineers were at fault.
Again the infantry officer came to the
rescue, and the president asked him
to undertake the job. He Strengthened
the shaft.
