EDITORIAL

In Our editorial of yesterday W,
were advising those ediles who hav,
conceived the farcial idea of having
a plebescite, in order to complicat,
the inha bitants of San Juan in tn.
foolish project of an electric lighting
plant, that they would do well to like
wise get an expression of opinisr
touching the disposal of municipal
properties, VIII ich for some time has
been prosecuted with a haste that has
Justly alarmed the country.
That advice is no longer necessary
Our prators can now save themselves
the trouble of enlarging the scope
of the plebescite, for on this point
there has been given a frank and
energetic opinion by the League OF
Proprietors.
The communication addressed by
this body to the Governor, in which
the First Authority Of the Island is
asked not to approve the project OF
alternating municipal land. we publis-
he'd IN Our issue Of Monday.
II is we'll written and timely do
cument, inspired in wise and prud-
ent conception of the principles of
economy.
What more can our municipal
council desire to know, after the We
hement protests of the League of
Proprietors, what more does it requi-
re In order TO become convinced that
its project is entirely contrary 10 eco
nomic opinion?
Our ediles must see that they stand
alone. In their desire to have q pu-
bile sale of municipal properties,
IN their industrial experimen ents in
which is involved the money of the
municipality as we'll as its credit,
opinion has left them completely
isolated, has utterly abandoned them
as mystics who indulge IN idle
dreams, and turned TO the Governor,
asking him to prevent the consum-
nation Of the municipal enascula.
Ition.
Our city fathers can now see that
our opposition to their course IS not
actuated by petty aninosity and foun
ded on unwarranted criticism, that
we have not condemned their stupid
acts unjustly. Our ediles can new
see that we are not alone in our cen
sures; the attitude of the League OF
Proprietors leaves no room for doubt
as TO this, it is both resoiute and OPP
perfume.

i The governments ought, In This
lease to act with absolute prudence

dom, coming to the aid of those in
|terests which the sbortsightedness
land obstinacy of an administrative
Iorsanism appears bent on placing in
imminent risk and danger by not gi-

So far as the municipal authorities
are concerned, the disaster seems to

1t is no use is look for repentance

part OF our praetors. A-s-
But according to documents which
have been published, the approval of

oppose and prevent the consumma-

great danger which now threatens
the city. r~s
On enc side the mimic ipal eoun-
Gil seeks to entangle the people
through the means Of a plebescite-
in the question of municipal light
lug plant; on the other it is sought
to involve the government in the
proposed sale Of lands
And neither the people nor the
government should make. the mis-
take off seconding such stupid and
unwise pans.
The results OF these various un-
dertakings are SO uncertain, that
they should be confined solely to our
praetors, who should be left without
the slightest cooperation, in order
that those responsible may be: the
ones upon whom will fall the weight
of public censure.
The effects OF a plebescite have
been discounted among the resources
of the municipality since the emerge
tic protests of the economic classes
have been heard, and we now omly
hack the knowledge OF what action
will be taken by the Governor.

fidence in the wisdom and prudence

The development of the steam tur-
bine is one of the notable beginnings
of the twentieth century science.
The Hon. G. A. Parsons estimates
that SIX years ago the total horse
power of such turbines was 90, 600 on
land and %, QUO on the sea; and that
it is now more than 1000, QUO on land
and 10000 on the sea. The chief
land use is for large electrical
generating stations. The principal
savings, as compared with reciprocal
ing engines, is a reduction of % to 40
per cent in the total capital cost of
steam, and from 10 to 30 per cent in
the cost of fuel, with further econ
omy of 25 to 80 per cent in the engine
loom staff. A late type of 2O00 horse
power turbine has 10000 to $4,000
blades, the surface speed of the
several barrels being from $50 to 300
feet per second.

Joseph Spohn Kills Himself.

In feeble health and respondent
over the loss of his home, Joseph
3pohn, so years old and one of the
first men to conduct a Lutcher shop
on the San Francisco water front,
committed suicide Yesterday after
noon by swallowing big dose of car
bolIc acid on the steps of his home,
2212 Pine street. Neighbors saw the
old man stagger and rushed to his
assistance, but he died almost
Immediately.
Previous to the fire Spohn lived
with his family at 1882 Union street.
The family moved to Oakland, but a
couple of weeks ago Mr. and Mrs
Spohn returned to San Francisco.
Mr. Spobn's mind wa1 affected by the
disaster and the scattering of old
friends. Yesterday afternoon, while
alone in the house with his wife, he
stepped to the front of the house,
where he drank the acid from a bottle
that he had obtained.
The coroner was notified, but the
remains were lett at the residence,
from which place the funeral will be
held next Sunday.
Spohn came to California in 1852,
settling in Amador county. From
that point he removed to San Fran
cisco and opened the butcher shop of
Dugard Il Spohn, known as the
Clipper market. lie resided in San
Francisco for forty ysiX years. Besides
widow, four sons and two daughters
survive him. One of the sons, Joseph,
was assistant foreman janitor at the
Hall of Justice and is still in the
employ of the city.-Call.
Deceased was a brother nlaw of
Mrs G. Langhorst. He was about SO
years old, and had been mentally
feeble, as the result of extreme age,
some time prior to the rash act.-Ed.

The African Drum.

The African drum appears in varied
and often picturesque FORMS The ma
tives make drums out of shells, tree
trunks or earthenware, covered with
the skin OF some wild animal or some
times with india rubber. OF the origi-
nal calabash drums there is probably
only one specimen in Europe. Some of
the drums are highly ornamented
either by painting or carving. One
specimen, indeed, has puzzled travellers,
for there is depicted on it unmistaka-
bly, Il cross and also a head of European
type. A drum found in upper Lualaha
has unique popularity in the way of
a sympathetic cord" formed by means
of a small tube ingeniously inserted in
the side of the instrument, which
causes, when the drum is beaten, a vi
bration resembling that of the reed
pipe.-Southern Workman.

A Plea For Soup.

A learned doctor, pleading for soup
on every dinner table, says: "a person
comes to dinner weary and hungry
and needs first something to stimulate
the secretions of the stomach. The
first course, hot soup, does this by its
action upon the nerves which control
the blood vessels. Taking the soup

be substituted, serving the same pur-
pose. The joint or roast can then be
taken with benefit to the system, and
the game, vegetables and sweets
should follow in their order, not nee
essarily in courses for the plain fam
lily dinner, however"

Why It's Crime to Die
'But you wish to know what l mean
by saying it is crime to die. Simply
this: 1t is within the power of all of
US to pass out of our own volition,
painlessly and without fear. Every
human being should so master soul
and body that he or she may be separ-
ated at will, temporarily or perman-
emily. 1t is mans natural heritage
in the scheme of evolution. But it
will not be given. 1t must be earned.
1t must be won by gaining complete
mastery over the mortal body; by
conqnerlng every bodily desire and
obeying only the demand of bodily
necessity, by triumphing over every
earthly passion.
" 1t is the old story of mind over
matter. 1t is all explained by natural
L
body is low level of vibration be-
cause it is nearly seven -tenths water.
Heat and electricity will destroy
water, hence they are finer vibrations.
And so on up to the highest plane of
vibration, the cosmic forces.
Your soul is but detached atom of
this cosmic force. Therefore it is in
the same the same plane of vibration.
Yoru mind is in lower plane because
of the body. 1t lies between your
mind and soul. Free your mind of
all thought for your body and its
pleasures, and it is one with your
soul and the cosmic forces. You are
then literally in tune with the inf
mite. 1t then needs only the desire to
bring in the cosmic forces and wrench
your soul free of its mortal weight.
That Is why it is crime to die of
disease and decay like an animal

Too Curious.

One well known New York woman
has discovered, like some others of her
sex, that it does not pay to be too curl
Gus. One of the old family retainers is
a Scotchman named William, who does
not believe in CLOSING over the truth
for the sake of sparing his listeners
feelings. The woman in question, al
though possessed of considerable charm
of manner, is not a beauty and knows
it. Her husband, recently deceased,
was remarkably handsome man, and
his wife was one of his sincerest ad-
mirers. One day when she was looking
at her husbands picture on the mantei
in the sitting room William was fuss
ing around the crate, and in moment
of impulse she asked:
William, what do you think made
such a handsome man as Colonel S.
marry such plain woman as me?"
William looked from the portrait to
the speaker, meditated a second and
answered:
''AIust have been heavens will,
ma'am."

Earthquakes and their Causes.

We find the following in Georges
Weekly of Denver, Colorado, April
26, issue:
GA few days ago one of the daily
papers contained an expression from
number of noted scientists relative
to the catastrophe at San Francisco.
1t is most satisfactory tor the world
to have some great men who know
things. There Is where the compen-
sation comes in for the money ex-
pended on our colleges and uuiver-
stiles.
Read what these scientific gentlemen
say through the columns of the
paper:
Professor Howe, Denver University ::
Earth is cooling, and shrinkage of
interior causes cracking of exterior )
Professor Milne of London: 'An
upheaval in the interior of earth.
Professor Davidson, University of
California: Direction of the distur
Dances ran from north to south
Professor Goode, Chicago Univer-
sity: Due to the Rocky mountains.
which are gradually rising
Professor Van Hise, University of
Wisconsin: San Francisco is danger
ously located and will always be
subject to severe Shocks.
Professor Holland, Carnegie In
stitute: Trouble is due to Mount
Tacoma.
Professor Wright, Yale: Caused by
earthquakes now going on in japan
and Formosa.
Professor Totten, former Yale pro-
phet: 'The whole universe is wound
up for disaster.
Professor Pearson, Yale: All Cali
fornia may be shattered by an earth
qukae at any time.
These professors ought to have held
convention before they delivered
themselves of their wisdom to the
world, as the average, plodding
citizen, seeking information, is
naturally somewhat ratified after
reading what they have to say. Eli
appears to be case of paying your
money and taking your choice.
Our own professor Howe says the
shrink-age of the interior caused 6
cracking of the exterior. 1t follows,
therefore, that an expansion of the
interior would mean a shrinkage Of
the exterior, or in other words the
more you initiate balloon the smaller
it grows. The experience of the
small boy with bladder contradicts
this theory, but the professor i:
entitled to his opinion.
We wish that Georges Weekly hao
given US the photographs of these
distinguished scientists. Perhaps Life
New York; might supply them.
Clearly, what they don't know ISM
worth knowing. We think that al
of them are entitled to receive from
their respective colleges and univer
stiles the degree of f. D., which
being interpreted, means flying
