by this time that there ever was
a leak in the statistical bureau of

of having divulged the crop of in

Notes From Washington
From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
The attitude of Pennsylvania
toward the Knox presidential
Doom is being watched with in
tense interest, because it is
t bought that Senator Knox is
the sort of man that nucleus
of opposition can form around to
the Taft boom. Of course. it
m ust be remembe red that the
President has never come out
o penly in advocacy of the Taft
can didacy. But it is generally
accepted among politicians that
he is the Presidents choice, and
that opposition to him is oppo-
sition to the Rooseveltian
scheme of things. Therefore.
there is feeling among many
of the prominent men of the
r epublican party, men who can
and will do things during the
campaign, that they must have
a reasonably decent alternative
candidate with whom to beat
Taft for the nomination. Fora
ker & men Of that like are good
Republicans enough, and will
work for the party when it
comes to the final fight. But
they are reactionaries, and
while their zeal to beat the Pre-
sident is ardent, they cannot be
chosen to lead the opposition
fight. The people are suspicious
and will have none of them. 1t
is not so with Knox. He has
proved a good lawS er and good
politician in the past. He is not
a reactionary like Foraker, and
he has done something toward
trust-busting in the govern
ment's fight on the Northern
Securities Company, But he is
regarded by the big business in
terests as a good deal "safer"
man than Secretary Taft, that
meaning probably that he will be
10 ore amenable to influence. So
if the Pennsylvania delegation is
strongly for Knox, it means
that he will have a big state be-
hind him and he would seem to
be the local candidate for that
wi ng of the party that wants a
sssafe and sane man" but does
n OF dare to pick man who has
Iopenly broken with the Presi-
dent and who is openly hostile
to his policies. The Knox move
ment is interesting and will bear
watching.

THAT Bayfield, county will
send a delegation to the State
Convention next year that will
favor Senator LaF'ollette for
President, there can be no
question. No county in the
state has been so enthusiastic
for the Senator as Bayfield,. The
third time he ran for governor
he received larger vote than he
did the first time, and the cltl-
Zens of the county stand as
ready now to support him for
the great office as they did two
and four and six years ago.
Many ask the question has he
any show whatever Of receiving
the nomination" You can be
sure he has chance. Have you
noticed the unanimity with
which his candidacy has been
indorsed. Not in this state
alone, but from all over the
country comes encouraging re-
ports. We should be in the
front rank, we should help in
this movement and it is expected
that when a meeting is held next
Monday evening for the purpose
of organizing LaFollette presi-
dental club, that all citizens, ir-
respective of political beliefs will
be present to assist in the move
ment. Let US help with our
little mite to send Wisconsin's
greatest man to the White house.
CITIZENS of the city should be
careful how the assessment is
made this year. We cannot af-
ford to antagonize the large in
terests. Especially is this true
Of those who employ labor. In
dustries whose management
contributes to the material
wealth of the community, whose
prosperity and stability is re-
fiected in the business Of the
city and the value of property,
must be shown consideration.
The scheme of government con-
templates that all should bear a
just proportion of the expense
of carrying on the government,
but exceptions to this rule as to
many others must be taken in
striving communities. We have
but a few big institutions in this
city and we cannot afford to an
tagonize them. The hundreds
of laborers who are dependent
upon the prosperity of these in
situations must be protected.
No petty politics should be al
lowed to creep into the question.
We believe that the assessor
should deal liniently with the
industries we have. Let US
keep them at any cost. The
life of the community depends
upon it.

The phenomenon Of q shower af
fab is Of more common occurrence
than is generally supposed.
It is undoubtedly due to some
small fry of fishes having been lift
ed from the water and carried over
dry land by what is popularly
known as q waterspout. When two
currents Of air travelling in oppo-
site directions meet, the resulting
atmospheric disturbance, if ON
small scale, is called a whirlwind
and if on q large scale tornado,
the destructive powers of which are
proyerbial.
Hon. Ralph Abercromby defines
. whirlwind as "a mass Of air whose
height is enormously greater than
its width, rotating rapidly round
more or less vertical axis" The
mass might be, for instance, 200
feet high and only ten feet in diam-
eter. This whirlwind column has q
funnel-likc center and may travel
as fast as thirty miles an hour in .
particular course.
The phenomenon is usually visi-
bic in the sky as a descending col
umn. This is owing to the compress
sion of a cloud within the circuit
Of the whirlwind air. Should the
disturbance reach the surface Of the
ground dust, mud and all kinds Of
debris are sucked up into the col
umn and carried along. If the path
of the axis Of the disturbance crosses
the sea or a river, the surface va
ter is whirled up into the funnel
and mingles with the whirling col
umn Of descending vapor. This il
the effect known as waterspout.
When the rotary motion ceases
the accumulated moisture descends
in cloudburst or as very heavy
rain. The small surface living fry,
Of fish in the sea, usually herring or
even comparatively heavy fish from
shallow inland waters, are frequent
ly thus carried over dry land and
astonish the pedestrian by descend
ing on his umbrella.
Many cases are reported from
abroad, and they are common in
India. In England the species Of
Ash that thus fall are usually indig-
enous to the neighborhood, which
shows that their involuntary jour
ney through the air is never very
far. Frogs, insects and other liv-
ing creatures have also been known
to be thus transported through the
air.-London Globe.
