Where Science and Industry Clash.

{. In the opinion OF the council OF the
Royal Astronomical society Of England,
the proposed erection Of a large cleo
trio generating plant near the Green
witch Observatory would have serious
effects upon the accuracy Of the mag
netic instruments in that observatory.
In view Of the worldwide Importance
Of the Greenwich observations, which
form the basis for time and longitude
calculations all over the world, the
council, at recent meeting, called the
attention Of the British admiralty to
the desirability Of preventing the
threatened injurious invasion. When

Philips Oppenheim s great serial story
which begins in The Sunday Maga5lne
of the Minneapolis Journal Sunday,
Sept. 30. An International conspiracy

by the international complications ana

king of England and the German en-
peror. =.
The elimination Of the plot is g.

Germans, the capture of the British

London and other big cities by. German
soldiery, who in various DISCUSSES nave

is purely imaginary, Of, course, and nd. as
Mr. Oppenheim plans it, all amusing
and harmless. Like all good fiction

no strings for any nation nor 1ndlv1d

FOUR WEAK SPOTS

A young woman may be pretty even
if there is no generosity of goodness
in her expression. There is certain

mates ali else. But as years 20 by and
youth departs there must be something
equally if not more attractive to take
