HE WILL KEEP HIS WORD.
President Roosevelt Will Under No
Circumstances Accept Third Trim.
Charles Emory Smith So States Az
ter Visit to Sycamore Hill,
Where Conference Was Held.

Washington, Aug. 3.-"President
Roosevelt will not run again. He has
passed his word to his countrymen
and will keep it. He is opposed on
principle to third term, and he con-
ceives that for him to be candidate
would violate that principle. The abb
solute exclusion of President Roose-
welt by his own unalterable decision
will make the utmost care in the
selection of our candidate necessary.
This assertion, made deliberately
by Charles Emory Smith, the we'll
known Philadelphia editor, following
an all-day luncheon and conference
with President Roosevelt at Oyster
Bay, is the most significant thing that
has emanated from the presidents
summer home since there has been
talk of a third term for President
Roosevelt. Mr.. Smith was long a
member of the cabinet of President
Mckinley. He has been the close per-
sonal friend and adviser of President
Roosevelt. He went to Oyster Bay to
talk ovS political conditions in his
state and in the nation with the pres
dent, at the presidents invitation
Following so close upon the state
ment from Peoria, ILL.,, that the pres
ident had written a personal Letter to
a friend there, announcing his deter
mination not to permit the use of his
name before the next national repub-
lican convention, it looks very much
as though there could be no longer
any question as to the eventual atti-
tude of the president.

BEHIND HIS BACK.
A Trick That Will Amuse an Evening
Company Immensely.

Public entertainers of all kinds are
always anxious to get on good terms
with their audiences One of the sur
est methods of attaining this is to de
ceive the spectators with somo, appar.
emily genuine, trick, and to then, as
it were, allow them to discover that
the feat is really bogus one.
A good example of this is afforded
by a conjurer who putting plate on
top of pedestal, places billiard bali
upon it. Facing the audience he steps
in front of the pedestal, then steps
aside again, and, 10, and behold; the
billiard ball has disappeared.
The performer searches for the
ball, and soon, pretending TO see it
dropping from the Clouds" he catches
it, and holds it aloft in his right hand
for all to see.
In reality, the performers lett arm
fixed in front of hints, from elbow
downwards, dummy one, and it is
with his real left hand that he picks

scientific problems. The accompany
ing diagram shows the whole thing
plainly.
Somewhere in the path of the pro-
iectile are placed two wire screens,
marked G and d, each formed of a
simple frame, across which a wire
runs back and forth, forming part OF
an electric battery circuit in which an
accurate timepiece, T, is also inter-
posed.
AS the projectile, on being fired
from the gun passes through the
screen C, the circuit of which 1t is
a part is broken and the clockwork is
started, the index originally pointing
to zero. On passing through the other
screen, D, the projectile interrupts the
second circuit, with the effect Of in
stantly bringing the clock mechanism
to a stop.
Knowing, then, the exact distance
between the two screens, usually sew
eral hundred feet, it follows that by di

operators at the torpedo station talk

moving the chips in either an upward
or downward direction. After ascer'
tanning precisely the right position for
a certain station 1t is an easy matter
to keep this in mind, and no further
trouble is experienced. Though other
stations than the one they are call
ing may receive the message, 1t is
heard most distinctly by the station
to which the apparatus is adjusted.
The greatest improvement over the
earlier instrument is in the wave de

Last winter Charles Fielding, mes
