NO NEED TO BE SEASICK
German Invention, It Is Stated, Will
Do Away with This Distress
ing Mslady.

Getting Jared is, in plain language,
the latest cure for seasickness. The
method is described in the Technical
World. which asserts that success has
attended the trials of the new device.
The apparatus. which is of German
invention, is very simple. 1t is merely
a comfortable chair, the seat of which
is set rapidly vibrating up and down
by the force of an electrometer con
nected to the electric lighting wires OF
the steamer
Those wishing to prevent an attack
of seasickness sit down on the vibrat
ing chair. They have about the same
sensation as in riding in an automo
bile. The vibratory motion makes the
rolling and pitching of the ship less
felt, the slow downward motion of the
vessel being counteracted by the
numerous short vibratory shocks oc-
curing In an upward direction.

Miss Moriat Gary left for South Car

she announced her intention of remain
my away permanently. We doubt her
ability to do so for the old settlers used
to say that if a person came to Indian
river and drank the water, they would
have to return before they died. so we
are confident of again seeing this charm
ing young lady here. She has been here
three years and we have vet to hear
one unkind word spoken of her. a very
unusual thing for pretty girl, but
everybody seemed to love her.

SAVES MONEY ON CONTRACT
Readvertising for Bids on Account of
Contractors Error Brings
Lower Figure

Through what was represented to be
the mistake of city contractor, the
board of public worl,s has saved more
than $500 in the con nstruction Of sewer
along Fifty-second street.
The contract was given to w. A.
F'rick yesterday for $6564, whereas if
the board had awarded the contract
the first time the bids were opened the
improvement would have been made at
AN expense of 1870. rs
The case is one which created consid-
cradle comment two months ago. M
M. Hostetter, a clerk in the office of
Stansbury & Powell, submitted a bid
of $430S.5S, and later asekd that it be
withdrawn because, as he said, he had
made an error in figures 1t was at a
time when Stansbury & Powell had re-
fused to continue their contract for the
construction Of the outfall sewer. The
sentiment was exceedingly hostile to the
firm, and Hostetter was believed to be
nothing more than dummy in submit
ting bid for his employers
The bid next lowest to Hostett er's
was for $3.50. It was known that Hos
tetter would refuse to do the work If
he was awarded the contract, and the
board finally decided that 1t would call
for new bids, the provision being that
Hostetter should pay the cost Of adver-
tising and submit bid not higher than
$3.50. These terms were agreed to by
him. His bid was $7368, but Frick was
far lower with an offer to do the work
for $6564. Frick asserts that he can
construct the sewer at the price named
and come out of the deal with a little
profit besides. The difference in bids
tends to chow that there is either a
large profit in city contracting of this
character or else Frick has underesti-
mated the cost of the improvement.

WANT BIG SUM FOR LAND
Four Property Owners Ask $4,000
for Ground for Opening of
Grand Avenue

Forty thousand dollars is approx
mately the amount which is being
asked by the four property owners
whose holdings must be purchased If
Grand avenue is to be opened from
Temple to California street. Real es-
tate dealers say the amount asked is
excessive.
A commission was occupied all day
yesterday in trying to reach a decision
as to what would be a fair valuation
of the property, but at nightfall no
understanding had been arrived at. The
owners of the block which, If the inn
provement is made, will be cut in twain
are e. B. Shafer John Eicholtz, e. T.
Klages and the heirs Of J. Pavkovich
Realty men assert that the remainder
of the block which will remain in pos
session Of the present owners will be
greatly increased in value, inasmuch as
four corner lots will be created. The
holders of the land, however, assert
that they have taken -Nis into consider
alton. They are asking from $500 to
$400 front foot for property facing on
Temple street and 5000 front foot for
land fronting on California street.

PATRoLMAN TO BE TRIED
Stanley B. Wilson Tells Civil Service
Commission That officer Detained
His Character

Stanley B. Wilson, nominee OF the
Public Ownership party for mayor. has
preferred charges before the police
board against Fred Arguello, MEM
ber of the police force.
Arguello. 1t is alleged, gave out a
newspaper interview in which he was
quoted as saying that he had seen
Stanley Wilson In an intoxicated con-
dition on the, night of September 20.
In his complaint Wilson asserts that
the charges Of Arguello as printed are
absolutely false and defamatory and
on the night named, to the best of his
knowledge. he never saw Arguello.
Wilson further asserts that he is a
person of sobriety and is not given to
the use of intoxicating liquors. He
claims that Arguello was guilty Of
conduct unbecoming an officer and
asks that he be either dismissed or
suspended from the police force.
Mr.. Wilson has retained the firm Of
Works, Lee & Works to represent him.
