LOCAL MENTION.

The Republican Flasnbeau club will
meet this evening, and will talk over
the organization of a drum corps to
assist in stirring things up during the
campaign.
Mrs. H. A. Alexander, mother of
Deputy Election Commissioner John
Alexander. who has been visiting her
son for some time, returned today to
her home at Cedarville. Ohio.
Frank Snyder, street commissioner,
has just finished grading for a new
sidewalk in Auburndale which will be
$50 feet long without single house
on either side of it. The sidewalk will
be six feet wide, and will cost the
property about $3.50. The people out
there petitioned for the walk, but it
looks like OVERRIDING things to build
sidewalks through cornfields and po-
tato patches, as this one will be built.
About $50 people attended the
Crarys lecture at the First Christian
church last night. The views were ex-
cellent and were appreciated. To-
night New Italy and the Yosemite
valley is the topic.

Students at Washburn College Or
ganfze Republican Club.

At a meeting of the students of
Washburn college this morning it was
decided to reorganize the Washburn
College Republican club and the fol-
lowing officers were elected: Presi-
dent, James Mcclure; vice president,
Elmer Hill; secretary, Albert Heller;
treasurer, John Hughes. Last spring
this club was composed of about 100
members and at least this number is
expected this fall.
The purpose of the club is to form a
strong and united organization for the
this way to add what support it can
to the work of the state central COM
mittee.
Arrangements will be made to have
different speakers address the club at
the college chapel.

Five EIevens at Yale.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 5.-Five
elevens were put at work on Yale field
this week, two practice games being
played and the fifth team going through
signals to learn the plays. This was
made possible by the good spirit of sew
eral men who have played football, but
are ineligible this year. Tney have
come out to take a hand in develop
ing a team, Offering themselves a prac-
tice material. In the days practice the
activity of Trip. big guard, was en-

several times saved the ball for his side
on fumbles of others. Should it be nee
essary to move Shevlin back to end
rush, Bloomer may go to full back and
either Mckay or Kineon take his place
at tackle.

Pensy's Prospects.

Philadelphia, Oct. 5.-Football pros
poets at the University of Pennsylva-
MIA are now in the ascendency. The
students think the team will yet be
the winner. The thing which has
done more than anything else to boil
ster up the Quakers' team is the re-
turn of A. L. Smith, the famous full
back of the 1908 eleven.
The Quakers are now getting ready
for Columbia, the team they would
sooner trounce than any other on the
schedule outside of Harvard. From
now on everything will be conferred
on defeating these two teams.

New York, Oct 5.-John Howard,

American colonists and who claimed to
trace his lineage back to the early
English kings, is dead from injuries

Bakers Strike i'm New York,

New York, Oct. 5.-Nnion bakers on
the west side in Manhattan and in the
Bronx have started a strike in several
plants against the open shop and for
the enforcement of the ten-hour work
day. So far only 800 bakers are af-

will extend through Manhattan, as the
employers refuse to renew the agree
ment with the bakers union. which
expired last week, though they are
willing to continue the present wages.

STAR DISTANCES.
The Method by Which These Are Meas
ured by Astronomers.


What is the length of this room
Any one can make this simple meas
urement with a two foot rule. How
far is it from this house to the enc
of the street? This question also
can be answered easily with a sur,
veyor's tape measure. But how
many people ever think of the pos
sibility Of measuring the distance
Of an inaccessible object? To dis.
cover how far away thing is when
we cannot reach it in order to meas
ure the distance-this is problem
of very different kind. And when
the distant goal of measurement is
one of those luminous stars from
which we are sundered by the pro-
found depths of space, when that
object is not only supremely mac
cessible, but also remote to degree
as nearly infinite as the human mind
can grasp-in such case the prob,
lem of distance is not merely one
of attractive difficulty; it is one that
stirs the imagination strongly.
Bessel was the first to solve this
observational problem. His method
was simple enough. We have seen
that the actual quantity of parallac-
tic change in stars position oil.
minishes with the stars distance.
Consequently we have but to meas.
ure the amount Of this change in
order to have at once an estimate
of the stars distance.

Gated by the older star catalogues
His method of observation, like
every method destined for conspic
uous success, was perfectly simple
Two small auxiliary stars were Sc
lected near the one under observa-
ton for parallax. Every observing:
night Bessel measured the exact dis.
lance on the face of the sky between
each small star and the parallaz
star. He judged quite correctly
that these two insignificant objects
must really be almost infinitely fa1
from us. If such was the case, they
must be perfectly free from any ap-
preciable parallactic shift, even &C.
cording to the Copernican theory
If, on the other hand, the suspected
star really is near us, it must suffer
parallactic changes, and these must
make it appear to swing back ano
forth during the year between the
two auxiliary stars.
Bessel did not depend upon the
ordinary astronomical telescope. He
was provided with a more accurate
measuring contrivance than had
ever been used before his time. This
instrument, called heliometer, is
especially adapted for the most pre-
else determination of short dis
tances on the sky-such distances
as those separating his parallax stal
from the two auxiliary ones. With
it he was able to determine exactly
the parallactic changes in his stars
position, and he proved that these
changes satisfied perfectly the
mathematical conditions that gov.
