Ehursday Afternoon. A Large
Attendance Is Requested.
The following call for a mass meet
ing of the citizens of Dawson on
Thursday afternoon was brought to
the News Office for publication by a
number of prominent gentlemen;
ITO the People of Dawson:
"You are earnestly requested
to meet at the court house on
Thursday afternoon, the 18th inst,
at 4 o'clock, to discuss the pro-
posed bond issue, and amendments
to the city charter. These are
matters of grave Importance to
Dawson, and free discussion and
exchange of opinions are much de-
sired. Let there be full attend
ance. - w. f. LOWREY,

''R. l.. MELTON,
"W. G. PASCHAL,

ga. 2. HATCHER.
The signers of this call are among
Dawson's most prominent citizens and
business men,, and the fact that their
names appear as sponsors for the
meeting is a guarantee that, as is
stated, the meeting will be one of inn
portance and general public interest.
Just what amendments to the city
charter will be proposed The News is
not in a position to say, but we under
stand that there will be more than one.
Everyone knows what the proposed
bond issue is for, but there is lack
of information as to what will be the
extent of the proposed sewerage sys-
tenn and its cost that has caused a
general desire among the people and
taxpayers to know something OF the
details.
All of these matters are of public
concern, and of a character that
should insure a large attendance
afternoon.

Holding n watch In your hand. shout
a single syllable. as "Ho." or Hat"
and count the number OF seconds from
the time you shout until the sound
comes back to you. Now. sound
travels at about the rate Of il25 feet
a second. 80 the number OF seconds
that elapse multiplied by il25 will
give the distance in feet Travelled by
the voice in going to the object and
back TO you again. and one half of that
number will be the number Of feet
away that the object is.
or course. the object may be only a
few hundred feet away. in which case
the sound will come back In less than
a second, but you may determine the
distance. nevertheless. by calling II
again as you hear the echo. not before
or after 1t. but just with IL.
With a little practice you can do
this. Repeat the call ten or twelve
the first call and the last echo. Sup
pose. for example. that the time is
seven seconds. and that you called
the syllable ten times. then that echo
took seyeu-tenths of a second. and the
distance. found in the same way as
before. is about 3si feet.
Having amused yourself with the
mathematics OF an echo. you may IND
diversion In II as n game.
Any number can play. one being
chosen TO tell story. The other
players have names given TO them
that will be mentioned in the story,
and the storyteller must not forget to
call each one Of them once or twice.
II he calls n name once. the bearer Of
u must echo II twice: II he calls It
twice In succession. the bearer mus;
echo Il only once.
The story should be so interesting
that the players will forget TO echo
their names. or echo them the wrong
number Of times. and then they must
pay forfeit
A bright hoy 90 girl might tell a
good story Of a shipwreck. giving the
players such name as ship. captain.
mate. passengers. masts. sails. wind.
wave. rocks. sailors. iifeboats. etc. n

about two feet apart. except one
player. who must stand in the center.
He must hold one end of a long. strong
string. To the other end tie a book.
or any other article OF similar shape

Now. the player In the center must
vhirl the parcel around and around
the circle on the foor. The game Is
that any one whose feet are touched
by the parcel or the string must be
'it' and take his place in the center
Consequently. In order to escape this
awful penalty. every player must
jump over the parcel or string when
ever II comes around this way.
or course the book Is whiried
around faster and faster every time
so you can imagine the lively Jump

slow one. For IL Is likely that the
string or parcel will not merely touch
