Prof Robert G. Aiken of the Lick
observatory. in a paper for the cur
rent number of the Journal OF the
Royal Astronomical society OF Cana
da, discusses the habitability of the
various planets and of the moon On
the moon there may be low forms OF
vegetable life sustained by water va
por. Jupiter he puts down as being
like our sun, or gaseous throughout
Saturn is less advanced than Jupiter
toward Availability. Uranus and Nep-
tune are far too cold. The eternal
night of half of Mercury nor its eter-
nal roasting day on the side toward
the sun are calculated to bear forms
of animal or vegetable life. He says
astronomers are not yet agreed wheth-
er the markings on Mars are natural or
artificial canals, but that there might
be low forms OF life on that planet,
"but no beings Of intelligence"

'ELKs TO GO TO SUNDAY SCHOOL.


A novel rivalry has sprung up be-
tween the Presbyterian Mems Bible
classes in Bushnell and Macomb. Each
is striving to Guido the other in the
matter Of attendance, with the
"eatin's" at the expense of the losing
class. Just at present Bushnell is
ahead because c. the course OF the
Elks of Macomb. they chartered a
special train last Sunday and went to
Sunday school at Bushnell 200 strong
The Macomb Journal thus relates the
particulars OF the incident:
There are few things that your

things that he tackles that he does

a CURE FOR THEM.

When the world has gone wrong and
the sun doesn't shine,
And your heart is as heavy as lead,
You'll be making things worse ii you
worry and whine
Tilt your hat to one side Of your
head
Tilt your hat to one side,
Strike soldierly stride
And go whistling bit Of song.
Sure you'll mighty soon lose
Every bit of the blues
While whistling and stepping along.
Lad, the JOY that you have you must
get from within
When there's none on the outside
to see,
So it's tilt your hat sidewise and stiff
fen your chin
And whistle In roilicking key.
Tilt your hat to one side,
Stick your elbows out wide
And step out like the world was
your own;
Sure and whistle an air
Full OF devil-may-care,
For the blues must be cured all
alone;
When you've stepped wee while all
the world starts to smile
And it echoes the tune that you
blow,
And the tilt Of your hat and your
lively footpat
Starts the sunshine wherever you
go.
Tilt your hat on your head,
For you're alive till your dead,
And go whistling the best that you
can;
Sure, and wear out your shoes,
But you'Il wear out the blues
And come back made different
man.
