1t is true-to Confine ourselves for

who Can Vote

For the past few weeks foreigners
have been frequent callers at the Of
fee of the clerk of the circuit court
where they have been taking out their
first papers in the naturalization pro-
cess. The first step is practically no
more than declaration of intention
to abandon political loyalty to the for
eign country of their birth and be-
come citizens of the United States.
Until recently foreigner could vote
in this country after he obtained his
first papers, but now it is otherwise.
This is the law of Wisconsin relat-
ing to voters who have taken out only
their first naturalization papers:
All foreigners who took out their
first papers before December 1, 1908,
may vote without second papers until
December 1, 1912.
All foreigners who obtained their
first papers after December 1, 1908,
cannot vote until they get their Sec
Ond papers.

Something About Mail Boxes

Postmaster H. T. Eberle has re-
ceived notice from the postoffice de-
partment regarding the advantages
for mail patrons in providing facilities
for the receipt of their mail by erect
ing conveniently accessible boxes or
cutting slots in their doors. Post
master Eberle says that such action
would enable the postmaster to give a
prompter and better delivery service
with the means at his disposal, since
the carriers can cover much more
territory in less time if not compelled
to wait for an answer to their ring.
Private receptacles for mail are also a

livery of mail in the absence of mem

vent the occasional necessity of a
carriers proceeding on his route with
out delivering mail because Of failure
to answer his ring within a reason
abel time, and enables him to make
deliveries to patrons living on or near
the end of the route at an earlier hour.
1t has been shown by actual expert
ence that the benefits derived by pa
irons of city delivery from the use Of
such receptables far outweigh the
small expense involved AS this office
is interested in furnishing the best
possible service at the least expense,
your compliance with the foregoing
suggestions will be much appreciated.
Neither the postmaster nor any of his
subordinates is authorized to act as

Believed to Be Derived from

That the earth is a great magnet We
all know. and 1t was long ago sug-

currents encircling 1t from east to

OF the subject that they are In some
way connected with the earth's rota-

sentially that of DR.. r. A. Black. who
contributes an article on THE Earth
as Magnet" to Harper's Magazine.
Says this writer:
1.-THE advances in electrical science,
In Its relation to nature, have OF late
years brought many to believe that
the sun is our great storehouse OF
electricity; that the ether of sur
rounding space Is electric in charac-
ter and that electricity itself may even
be atomic In structure.
Thus the sun In pouring out light
and heat, is believed to be also pour

the form of waves of the surrounding
ether or Of physical particles. this
electrical stream flows on to the earth
on the side Of the globe which is ex-
posed to the sun. AS the earth In It's
daily motion rotates eastward. causing
the sun apparently to pass around the
earth daily in q westward direction.
this stream or dow Of electricity Is
caused to wind constantly around the
earth In q westward direction, q coil

daily rotation. Thus the magnettzat1on
Of the earth very probably results In
manner exactly analogous to that
employed when q needle Is magnetized
by an electric current through right
handed spiral coil.
There would seem to be reason for

That the earth In its physical struc-
ture consists to such an extent OF mag
