The Political Kettle IS Not Boiling.

Continued GOODNESS marks the political
as well as the weather reports. Both
sides complain that the public is apath-
etc this year, and the public, 70 far as
it is heard from, complains that the
political managers are not doing any
thing to infuse life into the contest.
The political temperature is certainly
low, but it is two months to election day
and there is lots Of time IN which to
"wake things up" President Roose,
velt's letter Of acceptanc has been Civ
en- to the country and Judge Parker's is
promised in a day or two. After that
both national committees will have got
to work in earnest. But the high pitch
maintained, for obvious reasons in 1896
and 1900, is not apt to be reach this
year. There is no reason why it should
be, and most OF US are glad it will not
be.-Observer.

whose work has trained him to handle
delicate machinery with the exquisite
care required in making motor that
moves with all the regularity of a big

Viewed from a little distance, the
article has the appearance of very
valuable and rather curiously-designed
pin 1t is only when standing near to
It that its nature can be discovered

is the buzzing of the machine, which,
by means of current obtained from
small battery carried in the vest pock-

of speed, with noise like bee buzz
