BEST OBSERVATORY YET.

Washington. Sept. Scientists

posal the highest meteorological and
astronomical observatory on the con-
tinent OF North America. 1t is stu
ated on the top of Mount Whitney,
Cal. $4,000 feet above the sea level.
Realizing the value for effective
and progressive astronomical and me-
teorological work of an observatory
far above the clouds and free from
the dust and smoke, the Smithsonian
Institution decided to build a suitable
laboratory on Mount Whitney. 1t has
been difficult to construct the small
3-room stone structure, as all the
materials have had to be taken to
the great height on pack mules over
narrow rocky trails. But the work
is now nearly completed.

POEM
FROM LOCAL
SOURCE

Recently a well known local bust
ness man overheard a conversation
on an incoming train in which an
old lady wrinkled and gray. was
complaining to her travelling COM
panion that church customs in her
home town back east" had under
gone change in the past few years
pastor and people seemed more
aristocratie and conventional-in
fact. as the old lady said with tears
in eyes and voice lit don't seem like
home in the old church any more.
So. moved by the conversation he
had overheard, the Grand junction
man let his memories hark back to
his own home town of earlier years
in the east, and as he pondered. his
fancy took a poetic flight with the
result that he evolved what may well
stand as a classic. The following
poem from his pen would not cause
even Riley or Gene Field to blush.
but rather feel some pride. and yet
the author insists on concealing his
identity from the public.
The old church is not what it used to
be,
When you and | were young.
There's a different style of sermons
preached.
And different songs now sung
There's a different way the members
have,
From the way they had of yore
There is a different feeling left be-
hind.
AS we leave the old church door.
The pastor seems so careful now
OF the words ne is going to say
Don't dig the truths from Gods own
book
In the good old-fashioned way:
Forgets to kind of notice us.
Because we are old and poor.
| sometimes wish | had not come.
As | leave the old church door.
The congregation different, too.
II seems like we're alone:
1t seems as if these newer folks
Somehow have took our home.
And left us in our own small way
To reach the other shore.
Somehow the tears are bound to come
AS | leave the old church door.
But. still | know that God does give
To each his tender care:
| know his eve would miss us both
In case we were not there
So let us still go hand in hand.
Until life's journeys Ger.
With silent prayer for those within
AS we leave the old church door.

Puts Bullet In Brain Simons Was
A Civil Engineer And Only Son.

Pottsville, Pa. Especially Without
waiting to be accused of the murder
of his mother, George Simons put
bullet in his brains at the home of
his sweetheart, Miss Viola Hartram2,
when he heard police officers APP

Previous investigation showed that
Simons had killed his mother week
ago and left her body in an attic,

With five screws and marking it
Paint" so nobody would touch it.
Covered Body With Quick Lime.
To add to the horror of the crime,
Simons had covered the body of his
mother with quick lime, hoping to
destroy the evidence of his ghastly
Iced.
Mrs. Simons disappeared Thurs
lay. Young Simons told his father
that his mother had gone to visit
friends at Mahanoy City. Hearing
aothing of the mother, the father
vent to Mahanoy City and found she
1ad not been there. He then came
back and asked Chief of Police Davies
10 investigate. !
The Simons house on North George
Street was searched. The door,
sealed with paraffine, attracted the
attention of Chief Davies and it was
broken down. Mrs. Simons, who
vas So years old, was found lying in
The middle of the room. The body
was so badly decomposed that it was
difficult to tell just in what manner
she was killed.
Murderer Kills Himself.
IT had no idea whatever of what
was to occur" declared Chief Davies.

young Simons at the home of his
sweetheart. But as soon as he heard
our voices Simons, who was seated in
an adjoining room, got up, excused
himself to those present, and, going

The motive of the murder is be-
!ieved to be the gaining of a trifling
sum with which, it is believed, ST.

Or. Frederick A. Cook, of Brooklyn,

This news reached here through

Captain Bartlett telegraDhed to
relatives here that Peary had found
nothing to indicate that DR.. Cook

does not expressly repudiate DR..
Cooks contention in so many words,
his statement may have an important
bearing upon determining the extent
OF Cooks explorations. :

carrying supplies for the expedition,
had met them off the coast of Green
