 l beg to announce to you that I shall be an INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE for the office of SUPERVISOR, from the Third QmperiaD Supervisorial District, at the General Election Tuesday, Novem- Der 9th, 1910.

QUESTIONS TO A CANDIDATE.

To the Editor of the Press; Sir:
 We are pleased to see that many citizens are taking a lively interest in the campaign and going over the records of candidates and making life burdensome to these indicators The best and most effective way to make an office seeker feel like a toad under harrow is to publish in the papers list of questions that he can not answer without admitting that his record requires a lot of whitewashing. This has been applied to Phil Swing and Sidney McHarg, with more or less ingenuity, and to their great con- fusion we trust, and as good citizens we have decided that it is our duty to extend it to others. Therefore we have formulated a few interrogations that should put any candidate in the bunch up tree, and have decided to address them to Ray H. Clark There is plenty of time for him to answer them before the election officers fin ish counting the votes.
 These are the questions, tehe fair ness and pertinency of which will be plain to the meanest intelligence:
 Have you quit stealing chickens from your neighbours coops, and if so why?
 Will you explain to the people whose votes you are seeking, how it happens that you never served a term in San Quentin for blowing up Baptist church and running away with the pastors wife?
 Are you out of prison on parole or on a full pardon? If on pardon, how much did your friends pay for it?
 Can you explain plausibly to the deluded taxpayers of this county why, during your entire term of office you have not voted once in favor of pen sioning all citizens that are tired of working?
 It has been reported that you have been seen going home sober three times in the past week. Do you deny it?
 Not once since you have been in office have you proposed or advocated the passage of an ordinance abolishing charges for water and confiscating for public use the automobiles main tained by the pampered officials of the c, D. Co.,, and the manager of the C,-M ranch, Is your inaction fin these matters due to the fact that you take orders from Holabird and Bow ker, and are you merely the subser- vient tool of the Octopus?
 If reelected, will you give bonds to quit beating your wife?
 (Signed), Pro Bono Publico, Con stant Reader, Veritas, Verbam Sap, Mephitis Politicus.

is the first real concession offered by
either side during three weeks that
the joint committees of miners and
operators have been in session here.
The operators have made no answer

LAWYERS, Wills.

! A remarkable specimen Of lawyers
invalid will was that of Sir Joseph
Jeokyll, master of the rolls, who died
in 1893 and bequeathed his fortune
after his wife's death TO pay off the
national debt. "Sir Joseph was a good
man and good lawyer" was Lord
Mansfield's comment, but his bequest
was very foolish one. He might as
well have attempted to stop the middle
arch of London bridge with his full
bottomed wig" The testator's patriotic
intentions We're therefore treated as
proof of mental weakness, and his will
wns promptly set aside. Among the
many blundering wills that lawyers
have made for their clients. If not for
themselves, the strangest on record
was that Of Dublin gentleman who
left all his money to the elder son Of
his brother and. If he had no elder
son, to the second.-London Chronicle.

Raindrops.

! Drops Of rain vary In their size per-
maps from Il twenty-fifth to a quarter
OF an inch in diameter. In parting
from the clouds they precipitate their
descent TIL the increasing resistance
opposed by the mir becomes equal to
their weight, when they continue to
fall with uniform velocity. This We
locity Is therefore in a certain ratio
to the diameter of the drops; hence
thunder and other showers In which
the drops are large pour down faster
than drlzzling rain. A drop of the
twenty-fifth part of an inch In falling
through the air would, when 1t had
arrived at its uniform velocity, ac.
quire celerity of only eleven and a
half feet per second, while one of a
quarter of an inch would have a ve-
locity Of thirty-three and half feet.
