the learned brother must have been
absent from the hall when Mrs. HOWE

always a warm spot in his heart for the

SPRING CLEAN UP.

and other organizations that have for
their object the identifying and making
more healthful our surrounding, to

which active and effective work ear be
instituted as soon as the weather is
favorable. Spring in North Dakota is a
rugged fellow. 1t comes with a leap

we can catch our breath. Our summer
season is short enough at best and we
should be prepared to take advantage of
the fine weather for cleaning up and
keeping clean as soon as it arrives. Ma

POWER FROM THE SEA.
Wave Motor scheme Has Experienced
Revival.

Washington, Jan. 6-Light and heat
without cost for fuel or power is one
of the things that the lighthouse board
is looking for. incidentally, it is the
thing the rest of the world is looking
for, too, but the world is not so for
tunate as the lighthouse board, to
whom it has been offered in the shape
of a wave motor, and the board is
the merits of the device.
A successful wave motor has been
the dream of mechanical genius for
generations. 1t would offer an almost
unlimited source of cheap light, heat
and power 1t would have waterfalls
and rivers beaten seven different ways.
and there would be about 5000 miles
of coast line in the United States where
that sort of a motor could be installed.
Models of the motor have been built
of a size to go in an ordinary tub. and
it has been found that all that is need
ed to start the motor wheel working
is to disturb that water, and that it
does not matter whether the motion
is from north to south, or east TO west
or circular; the motor wheel grinds on
just the same.
The company which is pushing the
project has made a contract for two
big motors on the cost 10 light big
amusement pier. 1t is this installa-
ton that the lighthouse board has
been invited to inspect
