learned of his candidacy have given
him their support unconditionally. and
the prophecy is made on all sides that
Ripley will be a hard man to beat.
One reason why it was thought ad-
visable for Ripley to run is the fact
that he represents the north side The
democrats in power have persistently
ignored this section of the city and
have thought that its representation
on the board of aldermen was all that
it deserved.

JAPAN's PAGoDAs.
They Are Built to Resist the Shock OF
an Earthquake.

They Are Built to Resist the Shock of
an Earthquake.
A remarkable fact IN Japan is that
pagOdas built hundreds of years ago
embody the principle of the modern
seismograph, which is to minimize the
effect of earthquake motion by the
combination of an inverted pendulum
with an ordinary pendulum, or, in
other words. by the union of stable
and an unstable structure to produce a
neutral stability, which renders the
whole building least sensible to earth
quake shock.
In the hollow well of every five sto-
ried pagoda heavy mass of timber is
suspended freely, like an exaggerated
tongue. from the top right to the
ground. but not in contact with it. and
at the shock of an earthquake this
large pendulum slowly swings and the
structure sways and then settles back
safely upon its base.
This is also the principle followed in
the construction of all bell towers
throughout Japan. where the bell acts
as pendulum. and the roof, supported
by posts, forms an inverted pendulum.
as in the seismograph.
When an earthquake occurs pagoda
or bell tower may be rotated or dis
placed, but it cannot be overturned as
a whole.-Wide World Magazine.

How 10 Cure Skin Diseases.

The germs and their poisons which
cause the disease must be drawn to the

Salves and greasy lotions may give
temporary relief, but they have not

h tie History Of Beverly" Mass,
The following anecdote is related of a
food justice of the peace in the old CO.

1 traveller called at his house for lodg-

the traveller unluckily uttered word
which his host considered profane.
Upon this he Informed his guest that
he was a magistrate. pointed out the
nature of the offense and explained the
necessity of its being expiated by sit
ting an hour in the stocks.
Remonstrance was unavailing, for
custom at that time allowed the mag
fstrate to convict and punish at once,
and in this case he acted as accuser,
witness, jury, judge and sheriff, all in
one.
Cold as it was, our worthy justice,
aided by his son. conducted the travel
er to the place of punishment, an open
place near the meeting house where
the stocks were placed. Here the trav-
eler was confined in the usual manner

naming with him to beguile the time

us hope. determination to consider
his words more carefully before giving

Baseball Notes.
AUTOS.

Altho not as successful in 1909 as in
the preceding year, the New Ulm
Autos succeeded in winning a ma
jority of their games. They played
Is contests and won 8 of them which
gives them a percentage of .533. AS
New Ulm was unwilling to support a
semi professional team this year, the
Autos became the first team. Internal
friction, together with too much de-
pendence upon their pitchers, lost
them few games early in the season.
The shortstop proposition was a
source of worriment to Mgr. Linde-
man throughout the season, but the
other infeld positions were not weak.
The outfeld and battery were unusually
strong. Altho the fielding of the club
was rather mediocre, the tremendous
batting of the team as whole, more
than made up for it. Most of their
victories we're earned by good hard
hitting.
They took two games straight from
Kasota and broke even with Spring
field, Fairfax, Gibbon and DR.. M.
L. College. The Sleepy Eye Regulars
were out of their class and defeated
them twice, but the Autos defeated the
Berkner Bros. team of Sleepy Eye.
The best games that the Autos put up,
were those against Berkner Bros. on
May 21st and against DR.. NIL. College
on May 81. Their record for 1909 is:

DANIEL WEBSTERS.
The season of 1909 was highly sue
cessful for the Daniel Websters, for
out of Fl games played but 4 were
lost, giving them percentage Of $40.
That is a great record, for many of
the teams played were composed of
older and more experienced players.
Three of their defeats were lost by
one lone score. Hanska beat them by
score of to early in the season
but the local boys defeated them twice
later. Berkner Bros, club that is
far out of their class shut them out
and the Sleepy Eye Juniors won out
twice by scores of 2 to l. However,
the Websters defeated Winthrop by a
score of to 2, when Schneider allowed
the famous Winthrop Grays but 2
hits. Oshawa was given two doses
by scores of 8 to and 3 to l. The
Cottonwood team was massacred to
the tune of 10 to l. In a six-inning
game at the close of the season, the
DR.. M. L. college team without hit,
the Websters being victorious by a
score of to 0. The other games were
won by overwhelming scores from
local teams. The club seemed woe
fully weak in batting but their fielding
and teamwork were good. The work
of their pitchers especially Schneider
was truly rem arkable. Only two
teams, Hanska and Berkner Bros,
succeeded in getting more than hits
in game. Those who played regu-
