Nan and the Bucket.

There is n particular fever of non-
sense which the Princeton Tiger claims
the credit of having originated, for in
the November issue, 1902, appeared the
following verse:
There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in @ bucket,
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man,
And as for the Observation-Disclosures.
For the mex few months Nan, her
father and her newly acquired hus-
band encountered a series of the most
astonishing adventures in every known
hamlet in the country which could be
converted into limerick form by the
brains of newspaper and magazine
writers from sea to sea. BY the time
Nan came back with a dozen or so adj
ditional verses tackled on to her there
is reason to wonder in the face of the
ordeals to which she had been subject
ed whether the %pecuniary advantage
gained by absconding with that bucket
repaid her for all that she had been
through. = Roy S. Durstine In Bohe-
mian Magazine.

FATHER GUICHETEAU AND HIS DEMON
OF THE FOUCAULT EXPERT
MENT.
OF the great pyramids, near Cairo, was
originally built in an exact line with
the Polar star. 1t has been proved
that the Polar star moves at the rate
of one degree in every two centuries
From this it was figured out that these
pyramids were about 1920 years old
The priestly astronomer Of New York
set to work on the problem for his own
satisfaction and by use of his telescope
and -trigonometrid calculations com
puted the year In which the construc-
ton was begun as 1924 B. O., which
would fall within a quarter of a cen
fury of the approximate date fixed by
other scientists.
The experiment to determine the ro-
tation of the earth on its axis was car
ried out by Father Guicheteau in the
rotunda of the Church of Our Lady of
Lourdes in Brooklyn borough. This
experiment, performed in Paris by
Flammarion, was named in honor of
Foucault. Father Guicheteau is a
friend and admirer of Flammarion. In
carrying out the Foucault experiment
he placed at the end of a piano wire
a ten pound weight shaped like a steel
shell and attached the end of the wire
to the highest point in the cupola of
the church. On the floor directly be-
meath the weight he marked out a cir
Gle divided into arcs and containing a
line indicating the equator. When sta
tionary the pendulum pointed directly
to the center of the circle. When 1t
was set in motion it swung slowly
across the disk, following exactly the
line of the equator. But as it contin-
ued to swing and the seconds became
minutes it gradually left the equa-
torial mark until at the end of an hour
its course was at a distance of 8 min
utes At seconds from the original one
across the circle. Thus was proved to
the eye the fact of the earth's rota-
ton upon It's axis and deviation from
the course it possessed at the time the
experiment was begun. Some time
afterward a similar experiment vas
conducted at Columbia university.

How He Saved Monex.

A country politician in Pennsylvania
managed to get elected to the legisla-
ture at Harrisburg for one term. When
he came back he built himself a fine
house, costing about $4,000. His old
neighbors, who knew he had no money
before he went to Harrisburg and who
knew the salary Of a Pennsylvania
legislator. were curious to discover
where the returned statesman got
means to build the house. So one day
a committee waited on the man who
built the house, and the spokesman
said:
Jim, it may be none of our business
to your thinking, but we think you owe
it to us who sent you to the legislature
to explain where you got the money
with which you built this house. You
didn't have a cent before you went to
Harrisburg and owed everybody in the
place. How about it?"
why" said the builder, sits simple
enough. You see, when we were in
Harrisburg we didn't keep a hired
girl."-Argonaut.

T is not so very unusual for a man
who is ordained to the service of
the church to devote himself also
to the service of science. Many a
mar of the cloth has won distinction
for his attachments as a scientist or his
contributions to human knowledge re-
garding the earth, its queer ways and
its strange history.
But it is enough out of the ordinary
to occasion comment when n finds a
member of the sacred calling who can
point to such achievements in science
as can Father Guicheteau, the astrono-
mer, head of the Fathers of Mercy of
the French Roman Catholic church of
st. Vincent de Paul in New York. Fa.
Their Guicheteau is a venerable and pic
turesque philosopher who came into
special notice not long since in connec
ton with his experiment to demon
strate the rotation of the earth on its
axis. Although a priest, he wears q
long snow white beard, is about sew
enty years of age and conducts his OBJ
servation of the heavenly bodies from
an observatory on the roof of the par
ish house of his church. His duties as
a priest do not leave him free to de-
vote by any means all Of his time to
prosecution of astronomical studies
and experiments, but he gives his
evenings and leisure time during the
day mostly to such pursuits.
Father Guicheteau not long since
aroused interest by his calculations as
to the age of the pyramids of Egypt.
1t seems strange that astronomy should
be used to determine the age of these
relics of mans activity and ingenuity.
They were ancient in the time of the
Roman emperors. 1t was discovered

my open case, in which there were
only two cigars, one a very good Ha-

fused movements on the Austrian posi-

BY THE SHORE.

Now fades the splendor from the
western sky;
Now troop the filmy mist-nymphs
from the sea.
Now each bird seeks its mate for the
long night,
But there is no one seeking now
for me.
Now walls the wind about the cottage
roof,
Now comes the sound of sobbing
from the sea,
And my heart cries aloud for thee,
my own;
My yearning arms are reaching out
to thee.
The wind at last will sigh itself to
sleep,
But still I'll hear the sobbing of
the sea,
And all night long in this lone cot
tage here
My lonely heart will yearn tor
thee-fOr thee.

RETROSPECTIVE AND PROSPECT
I'VE

When Mr.. Olive came to Cashmere
(then Mission) it contained one
store, postoffice and few houses,
but to him it was the Promised
Land Quoting from a letter to
his parents in 1898, he says: 81
know you will think l am crazy, but
II have bought a business (the one
store) and am gong to settle right
down here and grow up with this
wonderful country. Maybe l will
take hand in it's development, too,
who knows?"
From that little store developed 4
hardware business which would be
credit to much larger town. There
being no station agent here then Mr.
Olive had charge of the Great North
ern express business In 1900 he was
appointed postmaster, which position
he held until his removal to Wen
atchee
AS the years passed the vision Of
the boy became the deep, earnest pur
pose of the man, and he Is taking a
hand" with unbounded confidence, in
the country's future greatness, and
his own ability to play his part in it's
accomplishment.
One of his first ventures in real
estate was the purchasing ana platt-
ng of Mob Hill in 1901, called by his
skeptical friends olives Folly"
His foresight has been amply justifi-
ed Mob Hill. at that time sage
brush wilderness, is now covered
with beautiful homes AMI orchards,
among these Carleton House, the
Olive homestead where Walter and
Mrs. Walter and their friends are as
much at home as they are in their
own pretty home in Wenatchee.
He and his charming wife are never
SO happy as when making others so
by their genuine hospitality.
One of Mr.. Olives greatest pleas
ures the personal oversight of his
thrifty young orchards on Cashmere
Heights. He also owns town prop
|erty in Cashmere so that much of his
time is spent in looking after his in
terests in the little vale of which he
is so proud-Cashmere Record.

The State Issue.

The issue of Mead and local OPP
ton, AMI fulfillment of republican
state platform promises, or Mcbride
and saloon dominance is becoming
more clearly drawn every day be-
cause the saloons are being driven
to the open and their alliance with
Mcbride shown. Mcbride vetoed
one local option bill, and in the
event of his election the liquor in
terests believe that whatever they
may be able to save in legislation
Mcbride will make sure for them,
or In event of local option bill pass
ing, another veto on technicality
may be hoped for. With Mead gov
ernor it means that the state will
have a reasonable local option law as
promised by the republican state
platform.-The Olympian.
