Parents and
Teachers, Attention

Pensa cola, Fla, Oct. 8, 1911.
The school laws Of Florida designate
the minimum school age as six years,
and one of the duties Of a school officer
is to see that the laws are carried out.
and we ask the parents of this city and
county not to send a child to school
who is under the age of six years as
the law directs
The only variation from this rule is
that teachers are directed to enroll
those pupils who apply for admission
who will be six years old in January,
for we would much prefer to enroll n
nupil at the beginning rather than in
the middle of the term.
Those arriving at school age later
than January will have to hold over
until the next term

FAILED TOLEAVE;
BACK IN JAIL

For the second time this week, Frank
and Nettie Richardson, colored are in
the city Jail on the charge OF being
dangerous and suspicious persons.
Two or three days ago these negroes
were taken into custody on this charge
and were tried by the recorder and
sentenced to serve sixty days each, sem
tence being suspended upon condition
that they leave the city within twenty
four hours, which they failed to do,
which accounts for their being again
taken into custody yesterday.
The negroes claimed that they were
going to leave but that they had not
been able to complete the arrange
ments for their departure.

The Speed of Light.
Marine Journal: The velocity of
light was discovered by Reaumer, and
after him by Cassini, and was calcu-
lated by Romer In 1876, and by Brad
ley in 1920. Its velocity was ascer-
tanned to be about 2O0,0 900 miles a sec
ond, which is a million times swifter
than the speed Of a. cannon ball. The
light of the sun takes eight minutes
and eight seconds for its transmits
sion through space to the earth. 1t is
largely owing to our knowledge Of the
velocity of light that we are prepared
to calculate the distances Of the stars
and other heavenly bodies. Knowing
the speed of light, and the time re-
quired for 1t to reach us from a certain
point, we can tell with almost abso-
lutte certainty how far that point is
away from US.

Company was formed in 1852 for the
purpose of establishing a direct line
of steamers from England around the
Cape to the Far East. AS trade con-
ditionS then stood it was economically
impossible to maintain coaling stations
along the route, and to cope with this
difficulty a steamship was laid down
at Millwall on the Thames to have a
bunker capacity of $4,000 tons, suffi-
cient for the round voyage. This be-
came the Great Eastern and a mon
strous failure. She had two paddle
wheels of Sc feet diameter and Is feet
width and a 24-foot propeller, five
stacks and six niasts. Measured as a
trooper she had a capacity of 5000
matched until the Celtic was built.
This vessel served the purpose we'll of
laying the first Atlantic cable between
America and Europe. For all other
service she was put to she failed to
meet requirements.--Exchange
FuIton's Generosity.
It is claimed that Fulton himself
said one day: Neither NJ. Desbiancs
nor invented the steamboat. If that
glory belongs to any one, it is to the
author of the experiments at Lyons
of the experiments made in 1888 on
the Saone." The one Fulton had in
mind and to whom he thus generously
rendered the glory" was the Marquis
de Jouffray, born in 1851, fourteen
years before the year of F'ulton's birth.
Jouffray's claim to be regarded as the
inventor of the steamboat stands thus
His vessel, built in 1888, notwithstand-
ing it's faulty construction, embodied
all the elements essential to success.
In it he anticipated Watts invention
of a steam engine having a constant
and unremittlng action. Lack of funds
was the only thing that stood in the
way of his getting all the honors that
came later on to Robert Fulton.-Ex-

the DILwoRTH EXTENSION.

Fargoans demonstrated at a recent
mass meeting that they can agree. The
sentiment favoring the extension Of
the electric line to Dilworth was anan-
irnous. A great deal OF enthusiasm
was shown and 1t looks as II some
thing might be accomplished.
The new owners Of the road are
willing to put in the extension-pro-
vided Fargo and Moorhead extends the
franchise so the bonds necessary for the
work can be easily sold. They also
wish the right of way secured for
them. In view Of the BENEFITS that
viii accrue to Fargo from the extern
Eion-the requests Of the street rail-
way people do not seem unreasonable
Prompt action by the councils Of the
two cities Is imperative. The North
ern Pacific will withdraw the shop
train after Jan. /. and the new line
must be completed by that time. If
the grading can be done before the
freeEe up-it will be possible to lay
the steel after that date. There is
time to secure the right of way and do
the grading before the cold weather
stops such work.
Fargo and Moorhead are united in
their desire to have the line extended.

PROPHET eRoNNA.

The Chicago Inter-ocean doesn't
anticipate that Senator Gronna OF
North Dakota will ever break into
fame through the honors he gains as
prophet. After quoting the inter-
view of Senator Gronna at Duluth
where the fickertall statesman pre-
dicted the nomination and the election
Of LaFollette-The Inter- Ocean COM
mented as follows:
We fear that the senator from
North Dakota is not destined to
achieve abiding fame as a political
prophet. When they grow bananas
Out OF doors at Duluth his predictions
may come to pass, but hardly before.
OF course 1t may be that the Hon.
Robert Marion LaFoIlette will some
day be president OF the United states.
All things are possible. He may even
be our next president. Again, all
things are possible.
However, we are constrained to re-
mind the prophet of Lakota which is
In the state or North Dakota, that
there are quite number OF other peo-
pie besides those Of North Dakota and
Minnesota who win have something
to say about who is going to be pres
ident
OF course II may be that the insur
gents, Bryanites, Jewelers. and social
lists are In the majority in this coun-
try, and that they can within the next
year get together and agree on some
thing besides raising cain all the
time, an so might elect LaFolIette to
the presidency.
Where the Hon. AISLE drifts from the
possible into the impossible is when
he speaks of Mr.. LaFollette as the
next republican president.
Whatever greatness fortune may
have in store for the Hon. Robert
Marion LaFollette, he will never be
republican president OF the United
States for reasons which are appar-
emit to all men OF sober minds, however
invisible to such apostles of the open
mouth as the Hon. AISLE j. Gronna.
