NORMAL THEORY is DISPROVED.
Quite Preposterous in the Light Of
Present-Oay Extremlsm.

Philosophers seldom tire of booming
the normal and deprecating the all
round abnormal tendency They insist
that the normal life is good for our
bodies, and exc for our consciences.
But this is absurd. We cannot en-
Joy ourselves and at the same time
be normal. Every pleasure Is some
thing which is abnormal to us. Every
man and woman at the present day
who sets out with the object Of
achieving distinction, or popularity OF
any description, must be abnormally
good or abnormally bad before it can
create an impression. The normal"
theory is preposterous one.
Imagine woman In normal clothes!
At the present moment woman has
attained the pinnacle OF notoriety in
the opposite direction, and on it's top
most point is set her hat Imagine
the successful athlete in normal
condition. Imagine the winner OF a
motor race as normal pleasure
seeker; and there are others-too
many to mention.-Philadelp Rec.

1t is through the work OF such ex-
pert photographers that the cry:
Conserve the nations resources" be-
comes something more than empty
words. The photographers who are
measuring all the streams are en-
abling the empire builders to tell Just
how much water can be depended on
for irrigation purposes In the west.
Without the work OF such men, and of
the topographers who have displayed
equal skill and courage in making

continued for several years-or

general behavior of the stream-the

depending more and more upon the

the failure of many large power, irri-

due to the fact that plans were made
without sufficient trustworthy infor-

While there Is vast amount of sci
entific detail connected with stream
measuring, the field work of the
photographers is In itself compare
lively simple. The streams to be
measured are divided into three
classes-those with permanent beds.
those with beds that change only dur
ing. extreme low or high water, and
those with constantly shifting beds.
Special methods are necessary for
each class In determining the flow.
There are three methods of determin.
Ing the flow of open-channel streams
by measurements of the slope and
cross-section and the use OF certain
formulas, by means of weir, and by
measurement of the velocity OF the
current and the area of the cross-sec-
ton. The slope method is only gem
eral and approximate, and the most
common use Of this method is in esti.
mating the food discharge of a stream
when the only data available are the
cross-section, the slope as shown by
marks along the bank and a knowl-

Season When the Man with the Gun

Maine Is still the place of big game,
and the open hunting season finds
many hunters securing the woods for

such skilled guides as Maine produces
In abundance there is no reason why
the sportsman should not get fair
share Of the glory.
In order to be successful as big
game hunter there are a great many
things to be remembered. Questions
are frequently asked on the subject
WHICH one would suppose every man
and boy knew. and 1t seems absurd to
state that there are people who have
an idea that all that is necessary to
get big game Is buy rife and go into
the woods
Although there are large quantities
Of moose and deer throughout the vari-
Gus hunting sections Of Maine, one
must not expect they come out to be
shot at. Your quarry Is naturally timid

woods with khaki and corduroy clothes

although there were numbers OF signs
all around they never caught sight Of

Then again there are men who while
on the trail will at the most inoppor-
tune moment insist on speaking In
loud tone Of voice-they seldom catch
up with their quarry. When in the
