PSotoQraphknQ Sound.

Prof. Dayton C. Miller of Cleveland.
o., says he has discovered a means
of photographing sound. He claims
by, the use of his device it will be pos
sible to distinguish on films the diff:
ference between the human voice and
the tones of q musical instrument.
The invention directly photographs
the sound waves, magnifying them
1000 times. and recording them on
films. - =.
, In his invention Prof. Miller has
used. harmonic analyzer, an instru-
ment made in Switzerland, which sep
arates sound waves into their compo-
nent parts.-Van Norden Magazine.

tions have been made of teachers in
colleges. particularly economists, and
not wholly 'diaproved. Tie press is
frequently accused Of a lack Of free:
dom, and, caught between the prejudi:
ces of its. subscribers and the pressure
of its advertisers, it has tooroften earn
ed the impeachment. Liberty is still
q costly commodity. Wendell Phil
lips has left us the singing opinion
that "The community which dares not
protect its humbliest and most hated
member in the free. utterance Of his
opinion, 60 matter how false or hate
full, is only a gang of slaves" But
tolerance is still 80 rare that while men
no longer pay their lives for liberty of
thought, they must still not seldom
sacrifice their living if they would say
all they think.-State Journal.

w. H. ROBBINS.

Aside from the candidate for mem.
Der of the county board, the republi-
cans have only one candidate in the
field in Platte county, w. H. Robbins,
of Lindsay. for sheriff. Mr.. Robbins
is q farmer, in which vocation he has
been successful. Although not general.
ly known throughout the county, he is
we'll spoken of by his neighbors and
friends in and around Lindsay, and it
is predicted that he will receive a large
vote in that vicinity.
Pitted against the republican candi-
date is the democratic machine candi-
date backed by the machine mans
gers and a democratic majority of
1000. But people are becoming tired
of machine rule and machine made
candidates and there is tendency
among the voters of both parties to ig.
more partisan politics in local affairs
and vote for the man regardless of his
political utilization.
Platte county has been brutlally
democratic so long that for the good of
the county generally the election of a
few republicans would TO fill the Offices
in the court house would mean a saw
ing of money to the tax payers, The
perpetual rule Of any ore party in 10
cal affairs leads to extravaganza and
carelessness in the expenditure of pub
lie money.
Next month the voters of Platte CO.
unity will have an opportunity to CON-
mence court house cleaning, and al
though the name of only one republi.
can will appear on the ballot, he should
receive not only the votes of his own
party but also the votes of enough in
dependent democrats to secure his ele.
ction.
The time to commence court house
cleaning is now.

WONDERFUL, WEAPON OF WAR.
immense Possibilities In New Engine
Of Destruction, but Both Sides
Are Involved.

Mr.. Francis Bowles, president of the
Fore River Shipbuilding Company, re.
Gently chief constructor Of the United
States navy, relates q good story,
showing the humorous side Of the
daily life of the head of big ship
building concern.
A perfectly normal-looking man re-
Gently called on Mr.. B0wles at his Of.
1ice and explained at some length that
he was an inventor possessing an in
vention which would rev0lutionize
modern warfare. Thinking that the
easiest way to be rid of his unwel
come guest would be to hear him out,
Mr.. Bowles ordered the gentleman to
be brief. The inventor then proceeded
to outline this. modern engine of war
As q torpedo whose course and speed
were to be arranged. directed, and
controlled from the firing ship at a
distance of several miles. SO that said
torpedo would navigate itself nicely
into the middle of an enemy's forma
ton. On arrival at this point key
touched on the firing ship would de-
tomato the high: explosive contained in
this new torpedo. causing a hole in
the, sea of 500 feet depth and proper.
tionate diameter.
Into this hole the enemy's feet
was to drop accommodatingly. The
closing Of the waters would form .
wave of a hundred feet in height,
which would swamp any opponent SO
fortunate as to avoid being dropped
I'm the hole" The inventor did not
mention the effect of said wave on
the home talent" anxiously awaiting
the outcome on the firing ship. Upon
the lack of q proper show Of enthu-
siasm by Mr.. Bowles the caller re-
garded him disapprovingly. but bright.
ened considerably as he was about to
leave by Offering the chief a thirty-day
option on his invention.

Wasting Pets.

Cats and dogs should be washed at
least once q week, says writer. Dc
not keep the cats in q draft while the
fur is drying. Any cat, even the alley
breed. is liable to suffer from earache.
Use warm water with a good amount
of borax. Never rub soap on the fur
or hair; have It dissolved ready for
use. Keep the little poodle dogs IN
a blanket to dry. Cut the hair away
from the eyes. This fringe that hangs
over the eyes will cause blindpess.

This north pole controversy is mat
ter of widespread interest and there are
those who are getting excited over it
and both Cook and Peary have their
warm partisans. But We venture to
say that the large majority of people
are in full sympathy with the editor
up in the timber districts of Michigan,
who gives vent to the following: up
in this neck of the woods, people do
not seem to get excited over who dis
covered the north pole. Some people
are so skeptical as to doubt both Cook
and Peary, Some don't give ad-
who, what, where, how, which or when
and then some. And as for the editor
of this uncivilized and unscientific
sheet, we never did believe in either
. north or south pole, and We shall

BURKETT DISCUSSES THE TAR.
IFF BILL.

: IFF BILL.
IA a speech before the old soldiers
of Farragut Post last Tuesday night
he said in part:
"The tariff bill did not suit me in
every particular. l am not going to
tell you people that it did. If they
had let me make the tariff bill I could
have called in few helpers around
Lincoln and made one that would
have suited us better, although it
might not have suited the whole
country any better than the one we
now have. But it would have suited
me and the fellows that made it bet
ter. l remember I wanted free lum.
Der. Your senators thought that our
people wanted free lumber, but you
know of state up there on the Pacific
coast called Washington, and they
have two senators and those two seDat.
ors stood upon the floor Of the senate
and said their people did not want
Canadians hauling lumber over here
and by the eternals they would not
have it. Their people wanted the
tariff on lumber raised. And when I
heard them say that l knew there
would be fight. And we lined up
and made the air blue with our speech.
es and we made everybody blue who
read those speeches. Then we voted.
We did not get free lumber, but Wash.
ington and Oregon did not get any in
crease. But l tell you what we did
get; as a result of that vote there in
congress we got it reduced about half.
Of course was disappointed 80 per
cent, but these Washington men were
disappointed 200 per cent. Some peo-
pie 60 squawking around and want to
know why we did not revise all the
schedules downward. The answer is
that some of them ought not to have
been reduced. Some of the congress.
men were for revision upward rather
than downward There were both
democrats and republicans on that
side. A high tariff lumber democrat
can handicap a downward revision
just as much as a republican can. So
the result was We got the composite
opinion of all and that is the tariff law
We passed. A rather excitable nan

something he did not like about the
government and declared that there
would be a revolution if We did not
get what We want pretty soon. 1
