MT. WILSON OBSERVATORY,

1OO-inch telescope, now being
built here, is completed, we're
going to be $4,000 miles nearer

What will be added to mans
knowledge of the universe? Will

riddle of Mars? Will we know
more concerning our own solar
system, be able more accurately
to account for mysterious dis
turbances in our little world?

once directed that his daughter
Helen be notified and she proceed
ed him here.
Mrs. Taft's trouble was a re-
|currence of nervous affection she
suffered with in 1909. While to-
day Mrs. Taft is surely better,
her condition is still not such as
to relieve the president of grave
uneasiness, and it is probable he
will return to New York as soon
as his most pressing business in
Washington is attended to.

HOW'D YOU LIKE TO HAVE
A BOND LIKE THIS ONE?

Judge Stiles this morning re-
ceived from New York the larg-
est bond ever seen in Tacoma. 1t
is for a cool million of dollars.
1t came with a certificate of de-
post for the SLABS, 900 with ac-
crued interest of Green river
bonds which were delivered In
New York by City Clerk Edwards
last week.
Accompanying the bonds was a
lot stock for collateral which
has been placed in the Hanover
street bank for this city amount
ing to $450,000.
All this Is to guarantee the
safety of the cash received for

the bonds.
Tacoma Is not going to get this
money in a lump. It will stay In
New York until used. But the
city will get 3 per cent on daily
balances whereas it gets but two
per cent for its money in banks
here. 1t is in the Trust company
of. America in New York.
The bond buyers made that a
part of the agreement that the
money must stay there until used
and is then paid out on warrants
issued monthly to the contractors.
This makes it certain the cash
cannot be used by the city for
any other purpose than building
