Williams Bay, Wis.-Communica-
ton with other planets is by no means
likely, according to resolution unan-
lmously adopted by the Astronomical
and Astrophysical Society of Ameri-
ca, in session at the Yerkes Observa-
tory, on Lake GenSva. The resolution
says:
"As the public, through misrepre-
sentation of the views Of certain as
tronomers, has formed the impression
that communication with other plan
cts is at present possible, the Astro-
nomical and Astrophysical Society of
America desires to express its belief
that all such proposals fall outside
the range of sober. contemporary sci
ence."

KEEP ARpMoRE CLEAN.

II is again necessary to direct the
attention Of the people OF Ardmot'
To the vital Importance ~ sanitation.
The warm weather is upon MS nov,
and the continued good health of th"
community depends largely upon the
efforts Of the people To keep the city
clean. Anybody will admit that
Ardmor" has entirely too much At
stake now TO permit the slightest neg.
ligcncc OF sanitary precaution.
The municipal authorities will not
subject themselves TO charge Of ok
travagancc II they devote all the mol
ey necessary to keeping the streets
clean. the weeds cut and the bitches
free from trash and stagnant water.
Nor will the strict enforcement Of all
the sanitary ordinance be criticised
even II some good people are compel
ed TO obey them.
There is less to fear from munici.
pal negligence. however than from
ndi, iduM negligence. The main work
of keeping the city clean must fall upon
the people themselves. Every citizen
should keep his premises scrupulous
ly clean, lle should see to it that sta.
blcs and COW lots are not permitted
To become the filthy breeding places
of flies he should see that stagnart
pools are promptly attended to
We mention these matters again
because some people seem ID think
that the cleaning buincss is more Ct
an annual affair than otherwise. These
ought to be- made to understand that
tho job of keeping clean is perennial.
There is something to do every day.
And the cleaner ones premises ar,
and the cleaner the town is the bet.
