SPIRIT OF THE LAW
WAS OBSERVED
Continued from page One)

| following communication:
| Replying to yours of the 9th instant
have to say that it would be pretty con-
| tracted sort Of q soul who would pio-
| nounce the five year certificate from the
State Normal School as inferior to the
first grade certificate. think it covers
the ground fully and goes beyond the first
grade in requirements"
(He then quotes Assistant Superintehu-
ent McCully's letter to the ISLANDER,
which was published August l99
The law governing the controversy Is
icund i'm Sections 81. 80, l37 and ~ OF the
Code OF Public instruction. 1t is therein
provided that no person shall. at the time
of election or appointment, De eligible to
hold the Office of county superintendent
OF common schools who shall not at the
time have taught in the public schools OF
this state one school year or nine months.
and who shall nor at the time OF such
election or appointment hold a state certi-
ticate or life diploma or first grade com
mon school certificate in full force and ef-
feet. Under section 222, a student who
completes the elementary course in the
state normal schools of the state shall re-
ceive certificate which shall entitle him
to teach in the common schools ofthe state
for period of five years. Under section
i37 first grade common schOOlcertificate
is valid for period of five years from
date of issue, and the holder thereOfis en-
titled to teach in the schools of the state
for such term. Apparently one is the
equivalent of the other. There is no ques-
ton but that the incumbent of the office
in question is at least defactO officer and
that all the acts of said officer are valid.
We are also disposed to the view that the
spirit of the law was observed by the
present incumbent, especially in view OF
her communication to you prior to cleo
ton with reference to her qualification,
but be that as it may, we do not believe it
would be fair to the incumbent, at the
suggestion of any private individual, for
this office to pass upon her right to hoiu
the office. Should an action by the proper
authority in quo warranto, be entered into
try her title to the office, we would then
feel called upon to answer more definitely.
Respectfully submitted,
A. j. FALKNoR,
Asst. Atty. General.

NJ. T~eraoutchi. minister of war. has

sovereign power.
His order fOrbids the criticism of
either subject, especially by those en-
gagged in military service. He advises
the soldiers to utilize the opportunities
of peace after disbandment Of their

One Man Killed and Many Injured.
Some Fatally, by n Stampede at
Artillery Practice.

junction City, Kas., Oct. 14.-Private
Albert Laste, of the T~wenty-ninth bat
terry of field artillery, was killed dur
ing target practice near Fort Riley.
Frivates John Connolly and G. J. Simp-
son, of the same battery, are thought to
be fatally injured. and Privates Leary,
Norman, Lancaster and Cline, of the
same organization, are in the hospital
with broken limbs and internal in
i%uries. A large number of other artil-
lerymen were badly hurt.
The Twenty-ninth battery is one of
the six making up the first provisional
regiment of field artillery at target
practice. The battery's guns had been
placed, and its eight limbers. loaded
with ammunition, each with six horses
attached, were at the rear, with the
drivers dismounted. When the battery
was ready for firing a large red flag
run up on a staff as a signal to the
range party at the targets to get out
out of range of the guns.
The wind blew the flag out in the
faces of the horses and they stampeded
at once. Some drivers succeeded in
getting into their saddles, others were
dragged, but the most of the drivers
were left behind. The horses dashed
over a small cliff and went down in a
frlghtful masN with their riders.

The present cost of our navy per
year is more than six dollars per fam
lily. In1S86 it was only about one dol
Lar and a quarter per family. Our war
with Spain and the Philippines in sew.
en- years cost us about n thousand
million dollars. Our present naval
program, if carried out, will call for
the expenditure Of about two hundred
million dollars a year for naval main
eenance. Our total military expendi-
lures for the year 1904, including war,
navy and pension items, was over
$500, 600, 900, or over two-thirds of our
total national expenditures.

Novel use of Roentgen rays is made
by a Berlin company manufacturing
submarine cables. The cables are
tested by being passed over two eye
pulleys over an X-ray tube, the screen

resistance tests usually employed.

melted metal, have been noticed by
N. Orlof on the surface OF an alum
mum plate hat has been used to
cover a dish containing radium Bro
mide. Radioations from these pro-

slight nuclei of aluminium to form q
stable alloy.
Electricity is fatal t o the discern

pink, two totally different colors, look
strangely alike by electric light.
Heliotrope is also quite pink, and SUBJ

No light shows up shades and colors
as wax candles did. 1t is certain that
all the modern artificial illuminants
mix up colors and shades inextricably,
and electric light is worst of all.
