ODDS IN FAVOR OF
 THE DEMOCRATS

Washington, October 15.-(Special.)-A special to the Times from New York to- night says: As the situation stands, the odds are apparently with the democrats. The betting is in their favor. The de- lection from Stimson in the business districts of New York is great, on ac- count of dislike of Roosevelt. It is as- serted that the republicans, on account of the corporation hostility to Roosevelt, are finding it hard to get money, and that the democrats will have plenty.
 Moreover there Is much testimony up- state that the republican voters are sullen or indifferent to success of their party this year, and that 1t Is going to be ex- tremely hard to get the vote out.
 The Hearst party's failure to indorse Stimson has undoubtedly hurt the repub- lican ticket.
 The most reliable advices are that the republican chances of success in New York are about two in five.' This is the estimate given by one of the ablest of the republican leaders who Is gen. timely interested in the election of Stim- son

The senator informed pr. vanpatten he was feeling much better and that he be- lieved he had about recovered his nor nal strength.
 Dr. Vanpatten cautioned him about being too anxious to again resume his work, and then began the examination of the heart. The senator was sitting in a large chair when the physician be- gan the examination.
 While making the examination the phy- sician kept up a conversation with Sem ator Deliver and asked him how he felt
 T am really feeling better than at any time since my recent sickness he said.
 But I suppose the wolves will be set bowling about my successor" and the senator laughed.

Examination Kept Up

The physician continued his work with the stethoscope, counting the beats of the senator's heart out loud. He was frequently interrupted by Senator Dol liver, who said he was unable to hear his own heart.
 When the physician had counted IA beats he informed the senator:
 That's good,'' replied MT. Deliver. 'The most have been able to count was seven.'
 The physician continued the examina- ton and suddenly noticed the heart beats had ceased. He shook his stethoscope, believing 1t was defective in some way.

His Indeeision In the Matter Of En-

The parsimony Of the old New Eng

strange futterings Of the heart, which
were unrelieved by the best recon-
mended "yarb teas" they were greatly
shocked at the suggestions and warn
ings of their friends and neighbors
that they ought to send for doctor.
Mr.. Benny refused, declared his scorn
of the entire medical profession and
continued to save his pennies.
But the pain grew worse. Mr.. Ben
ny was confined to his bed in great
agony and overheard some Of the
neighbors telling his sister that he was
going to die. Then he sent for an old

MEASURES ATTITUDES.
The Use of the Barograph on Aero
planes and Balloons.


planes and Balloons.
What the compass Is to the mariner
the Paragraph is to the aviator. The
barograph is an instrument for meas
uring attitudes. The pressure Of the
air as 1t increases or decreases causes
delicate needle to trace wavy line
upon a cylinder which revolves by
clockwork. This line indicates not
only the exact height that Is reached
by the aviator, but also the speed at
which he Is travelling.
The barograph is kept in weather
proof box with glass 'front.' which is
attached to bar Of the aeroplane or
to rope on the balloon. 1t is Official
ly sealed before the aviator embarks,
so there is no possibility OF tampering
with it, and the seal is taken off In
the presence of witnesses at the end
of the fight. In this way 1t is posi-
bic to establish absolutely and graph
ically the altitude which an aviator
attains in his aeroplane or balloon.
It is necessary for the aviator to
watch the barograph constantly, as 1t
indicates a change In the elevation al
most to the foot. The sky pilot has to
keep his eye on the indicator much as
the man at the wheel Of the seagoing
ship watches his compass. Should the
aeroplane or the balloon rise or fall
ten or twenty feet the aviator would
not be conscious Of it unless he looked
at the wavering needle tracing its
permanent record on chart before
him. This tells him Immediately Of
any changes in the nature Of the air
currents and gives him timely warning
Of aerial dangers.
These instruments are so delicate
and SO accurate, 1t is said, that man
might hang one Of them about his
neck in its glass case or carry it in his
hand and climb a flight of stairs, the
height of his ascent being graphically
indicated by the linked needle on the
machine.-New York Press.
