THE NECESSARY VACATION

The recent spell of hot weather set city people to thinking as we'll as per spring, and the result of both processes has been that great many of them have sought refuge from the scorching heat in the local summer resorts. Many have arrived during the past few days and many more will come before the month is out.
 The summer vacation has come to be a necessity to all who can afford to enjoy one, and the Berkshire country is every year becoming more popular. The vari- cites of out-of-door life that are possible in this vicinity make it agreeable to all, and it is especially popular with those who enjoy spending the summer on the lake shores in free and easy camp life.
 To the business man as well as to his family vacation is now more impera- tive than ever before on account of the constant exertion demanded by the gruel- ing commercial competition of today By the time the hot weather comes, 8 complete relaxation of body and mind must be had. To all such the vacation season is a welcome one, and to their families who have been confined indoors it is equally so. Those who find their way to the beautiful Berkshire hills in northern Litchfsld county are assured of rest and recreation among scenes of surpassing beauty, far from the dust and heat of the city.

Funny Justice

Some Of the vagaTles of the admins tration of criminal justice certainly per plex human understanding. As an ex- ample, the Syracuse Herald cites the case of the army officer, Hains at Flush, ing, who, not long ago, killed the seducer of his wife, and was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 8 long term ill prison. A few weeks previous his brother, who had been accessory to the crime and in the opinion of the pub lie the real instigator of it, and who could plead no such terrible grievance as the man who was found guilty of firing the fatal shots, was acquitted.

SINGING BY ScALPEL

Some months ago Caruso's voice failed. It seemed as if the most admired human tone of modern history were forever si- fenced. Thousands of the great tenor s admirers were in despair. But our pres ent day surgery was not to be baked by such thing as a disobedient vocal chord. Why not cut out the offending member? The operation was one of un- usual delicacy. It was successful. SignOr Caruso will now sing the premier roles by the favor of scalpel It is triumph of persistency on the one side and of science on the other.

in the horizon Of some place at mid
night, the place must be as far
from, the pole as the sun was from
the equator, and consequently the
polar distance must be equal to Z
degrees IS minutes, or its latitude
must be 81 degrees minutes. DR..
Cook gives his latitude at the same
time as Sc degrees 38 minutes.
There, is, therefore, a discrepancy
amounting to 4 degrees SO minutes
in his latitude to be accounted for
In some way, and this discrepancy
is equivalent to linear distance of
316 miles in the place of the OBJ
server.
If DR.. Cooks latitude on April
was only 80 degrees minutes, he
was then $50 miles from the pole,
and in order to reach 1t on April Fl
he must have travelled 80 miles
daily.
In his journey towards the pole
after April 7, nothing is related of
special interest except the extreme
precision with which he gives his
latitude as determined by his sex.
tant, namely, SO degrees SO min
utes 46 seconds, which would give
his distance from the pole equal to
1400 feet, or only 80 feet more than
Ia quarter of a mile. 1t Is perhaps
superfluOus to add that no portable
transit instrument or sextant would
be capable of giving that degree of
precision, even by long series of
observations.
In conclusion, 1t appears that DR..
Cooks observations show that he
was really $50 miles from the pole
when he claims to have been only
234 miles from that point. His OBJ,
servations therefore show a dis.
crepancy of 316 miles.
The conclusions arrived at in
this paper are based upon the as
sumption that the newspaper re.
ports giving April 7 as the date OF
midnight sunrise are correct.

HEPPE NOW
REICNS SUPREME

s. F. Spiger, a huxter in a three
sided concrete box at the Scblic
market, has fallen into the bad
graces of Market Master Hoppe,
and was arrested yesterday
charged with disorderly conduct on
q warrant sworn out by that super
intendent of the public sale Of gar
den truck and all kinds of "vege-
tables" According to Mr.. Hoppe,
Spiger has been trying to knock
him out of the collection of market
fees for some little time and has
been influential, it is declared, in
breeding discomfort at the market.
The trouble caused Chief of Po-
lice Sullivan to go to the market
this morning to make an investiga-
ton. When this was completed, he
told them all that Heppe's author
ity at the market was supreme, and
that they must obey him there.
That seems to have ended most of
the friction for the time being.

HOPE THEY'LL

-coUNCiLMAN LAMBERT,

Councilman Lambert, when asked
about the recall petition that 1t was
stated by one newspaper was about
to be launched against him, re-
marked: II sincerely hope that they
will get started with it soon, as the
everlasting threat keeps a man in
suspense. They have been threat
ening me with a recall for about
three months, but I have failed SO
far to see anything started.
Il have endeavored to get results
while in the city council, and the
men who are threatening recall will
find that the people of the Third
ward are generally satisfied, and
that the element wanting a recall
does not extend beyond the few
that have always opposed me and
every other man that will not be
dictated by them"

sun over the northern ice," as It
marked the beginning of the six
months of summer at that place.
Now, if Cook was in the latitude
he claims to have been in, he must
have had a midnight sun as early
as April l.. But we have no reason
to doubt Cooks statement that
April 7 showed him his first mid
night sun, as so simple an observa-
ton as seeing the sun itself would
require neither instruments nor
skill in using them, and could as
well be made by an untutored Es-
kimo as by the most intelligent
white man. Therefore we will ac-
cept April as the date of Cooks
first midnight sun, and inquire
what conclusions may be legiti-
mately deduced from 1t.
On April 7, at midnight, the suns
declination may be taken as north
z degrees minutes, and to this
must be added the suns semi-diam-
eter, IS minutes, and refraction, 35
minutes, making the declination 7
degrees SIS minutes, in order that
