PAVE SIXTH AND TENTH.
Eyesores In Topeka to Be Suppressed
at Last.

In order that there might not be any
further delay in the paving and cou-
pied with it the desire to secure a low
bid for the work which would be
brought about by such action the
streets and walks committee of the
council recommended to the council
favorably twenty-five and one-half
blocks of paving. Last year the total
amount of new paving ran up to %
blocks. 1t is not probable that the
council will authorize much more
than the % blocks which were acted
on last evening. OF this number a
large portion is repaving, consisting
Of the repaving of West Sixth and
West Tenth avenue, the latter from
Jackson to Harrison streets. The city
will have to pay the states share of
the West Tenth avenue paving. Sew
era1 members of the 1907 legislature
had it in for Topeka and would not
allow the passage Of a bill provid
for an appropriation to meet the
states share of the repaving.
The paving recommended last
evening follows:
West Sixth avenue from Harrison
to West streets, eleven blocks.
Tenth avenue from Jackson to
Harrison streets, two blocks.
Lane street, Sixth avenue to Eighth
avenue, two blocks.
Garfield avenue, Thirteenth to Fiji
tenth streets, two blocks.
Monroe street, Tenth to Twelfth

parison with Germany.

London. June 3o.-The mobilization Of all British
warshps in home waters available for immediate
service was completed to-day for the annual naval
1nanoeuvres. and Admiral Lord Charles Beresford
finds himself in command of 3o1 ships with sg-
gregate complement OF $500 officers and men,
The newspapers, while they say that the array
of such force IN the North Sea Is not connected
with Germany, do not fail incidentally to compare
this the greatest feet assembled in the his
tory of the world, with the feet of sixtytwo ves-
sells with which Germany recently carried out her
North Sea maneuvres. Officially. ali thought of
reproducing operations which might be ex-
pected in case Of trouble with Germany Is repud-
sted, but from the general character OF the In
sructions it appears that Admiral Beresford
with the Channel feet and the first cruiser squadron
based at Aalhek Bay. at the extreme north Of
Denmark, is to play the part of the enemy and
essay a descent on the eastern coast Of Great

neers yesterday on the subject of steerable bal
looms The basis of all his endeavors and the
foundation OF his conviction that the air was
navigable had been the observation. he said,
that the resistance of the air to moving body
decreased in proportion to the increase of the
surface going against the air The truth OF this
statement had been confirmed by various in
vestigators and was of the deepest significance.
In attempt to fly through the air bodies Of
great size must be made Of. The assertion
of Professor Helmhotz that arships driven by

rest ON the assumption that air navigation fol-

count continued because they could not land
on the ground and must limit their descents TO
water surfaces. This he said. incorrect. as
proper landing stages could be constructed on
land without much difficulty.
Count Zeppelin spoke with modesty regarding
his work. which he seemed to consider only
a beginning. He urged the foundation Of an
endowed institute TO test and develop new ideas
in airship navigation. Such an institution should
employ engineers TO carry on original expert
ments and maintain trained staff. The count
said that he would gladly contribute to Its foun-
dation.
