WEATHER PREDICTIONS

Sharon Mans Prognostications for
 Each Month of the Coming Year.
 Charles E. Mallory, of Sharon, has compiled his forecast for the year 1910. He says:
 After the 10th of January look out for stormy weather; mild weather during the whole month. N. B.-When say mild weather 1 mean for the tune of year. You do not expect the good old summer time in January when you are looking for 10.inch ice.
 February is no fool; will prove stormy during the month and the wind will blow a gale from beginning to enl; weather will be mild. I look for un early spring. The bear will not see his shadow Feb. ?
 March-Mild, light storms from 17th to 25th.
 April will be fine; very little rain.
 May will be warm for the first part and the latter cooler; no rain tomention.
 June-COol, dry and fair weather.
 July-Dry and fair; cool for the sea son of year.
 August-The fore part will be fine; the latter cool and cloudy.
 September-The fore part will be cloudy; fair weather about the 17th to the 23d; after this the remainder of month cloudy.
 October-First 10 days fair; second 10 days stormy; the last os the month fair and cool.
 November-Cool, dry and windy.
 December-The first half clear and cold; the last of month will be mild and stormy.
 Now, regarding my predictions. think that they compare favorably with the U. s. weather bureau.

THE LIB RARY

The action of the taxpayers at the ad- 1onrned town meeting in dropping the ifaeaof purchasing the former office of sthe New England Lime Company for 8 gEibrary building was foreseen, as it was -Blain1y evident that in the towns pres ..sms financial condition it could not af -sord to pay $6,0O0 for this or any other property for that purpose. To raise this sssunn would necessitate an additional tax ~zss about 31a mills on the new assessment, es8r about 16 mills in all, and this would 5'ss & hardship for good many of the taxpayers.
 1t is 8 pity. though, that Canaan has 91sb got more commodious and better easquipped building for a public library.
 Ths, present edifice is centrally located much of the facilities at her disposal, Sut the steady increase in the number of books from year to year has made the quarters decidedly cramped. There is argent ueed of workroom where mutt I4za$ed books may be repaired, and other svork devolving upon the librarian can %z5e attended to without interfering with she conduct of the library W )rk proper.
 The place is we'll patronized, and we aExe proud of our little library and glad a0 hear the words of commendation from visitors who have occasion to use it, but 6hsse things do not give US 8 new build Tng- As the town cannot afford to pur- ~=ehsse one, our only hope (and we ac- Knowledge that it is very faint one) is ~shas some one or more public spirited sitizens of the village may make us Q asresent of new home for our carefully selected and valuable library.

The Anti-Meat Strike.


 Cleveland's anti-meat strike as blow at the increased cost of living is in full swing. It is estimated that fully 6,0OO men have sigued a pledge to abstain from meat for month in an effort to break the high prices. An effort will te made by the promoters of the plan to spread the doctrine of anti-meat to all parts of Ohio. Already a similar move ment has been started in Springfield, Ohio. with several hundred followers While the strike is directed at the high cost of meat, the advanced price of other staple foods will not be overlooked. The movement started in most innocent fashion last Saturday when the foremen of three factories took up the idea of having their men sign pledge to abstain from meat. Workmen fell in with the plan and to-day it was reported that in twenty four shops where petitions have been circulated there are more than 5000 signers, representing a population of 30.000. A prominent dealer in live stock is authority for the statement that if meat-eating were stopped for one weeh prices would drop to the right level. IL is predicted that by the end of the week upwards of 10000 families will be en listed in the movement against high. priced food.

THE AEROPLRNE AGAIN

Hardly had the people ceased applaud ing Herbert Latham for his wonderful $500 feet flight Ill the air, when they are called on again to vent their enthus- iasm on M. Paulhan for beating this record by 1000 feet; or, if the instru- ments of measurement are to be believed, rising to an altitude of 4,6OO feet. Per haps, before this article is printed this record may be lowered tor should we say raised)?
 It is unfortunate that there should be a dispute between the Wright brothers and other aviators upon infringement of patents, but if there is any violation of the patent law it is better that it should be settled now, that the manufacturers of the different styles of monoplanes, biplanes, etc, may know what their rights in the case are. Dr. Alexander Graham Bell welcomes these suits, claim ing that the sooner these points are settled, the better it will be for all parties concerned. The doctor, by-the-way, has just had six aeroplanes built for him in Canada, and while he is not now directly interested Tn these suits, he may be when he undertakes to use his new playthings in this country.
 AS for the usefulness of the heavier than-air machines for scouting purposes in time of war, there seems to be a 6ivarSitu of Oy1iDIOp PacaOt ov,0o7i ,o,,tc made by the Krupps in Germany in fire practice against dirglbles, seem to have shattered confidence in this style of an airship, as they had no difficulty in piercing them with a high fire mortar which they claim is efficient up to 6,000 yards. The rapidIty of motion and ease of steering of the heavier than-air ma chimes, combined with their smaller size may make them a more difficult target to hit, and therefore more valuable for the important service of scouting. There may be the same game of "tag" as there has been for years between the makers of arlnor plate for warships and manu- facturers of projectiles for piercing the same. First the armor plate men would make plate that no known projectile could pierce; then the other fellows would make a projectile that would pierce any known armor plate, and so on.
 We trust the legal squabble will soon be ended, with satisfaction to all con- csrned. When it IS settled, we may look for boom in the airship business and it would be no foolish statement to make that in less than five years an aviator taking flight will be as common sight as it is now to see an automobile on our country roads.

farther than Governor Huges and figures out the probable result of such tax on other incomes than those derived from state or municipal bonds, and shows that it would not ultimately affect the one it is intended for (the wealthy bondhOlder who does not pay his rightful share of taxation). but would really add to the burden of those. who could least afford it. We reprint the Times Unions re- marks on the subject:
 "If the income is derived from the rents of real estate the landlord would Id enough to his rent cnarges to pass the ,ax down to his tenant. If the in come were derived from a mercantile ablishment the merchant would pass the tax down to h1s customers. The bank, the railroad, the manufacturing establishment would each pass the tax down to those from whose business 1t derived it's income. It would be handed down until it reached the man who could hand it no further, and he would have to pay. So when we come down to the facts of the case an income tax though intended as tax on wealth would not prove a tax on wealth. In fact it is possible that the men who ostensibly pay the tax would reap a profit out of it, for they might increase their charges more than enough to com pensate for the tax. And so the ultimate consumer, who foots all bills, would foot this bill, and would see the the cost of living climb one notch higher and wonder why"

THE INCOME TAX

The opposition by Governor Hughes an come tax and his re lsons for the same, seem to be having great deal of weight throughout the country. His claim that : State or municipal bonds ought not to '. be subject to a Federal tax has been caught at by all oppo lent5 tO 5Ae moasu:2 aud will undoubtedly be the basis of .anany, if not most, of the arguments by xnembers of Congress a5 tilst the aazeasnre.
 A concrete example of t'la working of 44he act is given by On9 paper thus: "L3t t8s suppose d municipality wishes to Eaxsus per cent. bonds aHl ill tle ab zxence of an income tux colld sell them mt par A bonl tor $1,O))> would yield aan income of $50 per annum. Tax this 3 Ser cent. and the tax would be S1, leav ang $49 net oa SI,0)0 bond. If j 'bold which which would draw $50 interest would sell for $1 ,OO0, one that would ea1raw only $49 would sell for only $980 So city borrowing $1,000,0O0 would tz,sy lump sum of $20,0O0 as an income Aax, the purchaser of the bonds really Epaying nothing"
 This seems such logical argument ySaat Harper's Weekly, which is in favor sr8F the tax, says that the quickest way to -nass the amendment would be to draft 6 snew one eliminating this objectionable 1sfsature.

Some economists have suggested that reduction in the cost of living could be effected by cutting down the consump- tries to crush out any hope of relief in this direction by pointing out that if less meat is eaten fewer cattle will be killed consequently there will be fewer hides, and therefore tho price of shoes will go up. So we can stint our stomach and still pay more to keep sole and body together.
