rubbish removed Saturday from the
business section of Lakeland, repre-
sents only a small part OF, the refuse
still to be hauled away, and Sanitary
Inspector RhOades expects to spend a
busy week directing the men and
wagons in the hauling from the resi-
dence portions of Lakeland.
A noticeable improvement is seen
on every hand as a result OF the two
first municipal cleanup days and
many are the residents who displayed
their civic pride by making their own
property more attractive.
On the other hand Sanitary In
sEectOr RhOades marveled at the lack
of thought on the part of many who,
hearing that a cleanup day was in
order and that the city would haul
away rubbish. took this occasion to
prune their fruit trees, throwing the
dead limbs in the alley for the city
to carry away
ut would take a year TO clean up
the city" said Inspector Rhoades. If
We had to carry away the prunings
from all the fruit trees in the city"
Therefore, public spirited citizens

following statement:
AS far as know and have heard,
Mr.. Gibbons is the first man in Flor

that has ever claimed right or at

"He, having been the fourth man.
in the first primary, was entirely
eliminated and has absolutely no
legal right to have his name placed
upon the ballot to be used in the
second primary, even though Mr.. Mil

ithdrawn from the second primary
contest.
"Al candidates except the two
highest are without any standing in
the second primary.
AS to Mr.. Gibbons reference to
any trade or deal, it is maliciously
false and untrue, and was published
after he and Mr.. Walpole had a con-
ference. merely for the designing pur-
pose OF trying to create some support

Nature provides for its natural exit

outward unnoticed either by seeing or

ROLLING THUNDER.
Why the Rumble at Fimss ls So Long
Drawn Out

Why the Rumble at Firess ls So Long
Drawn Out.
The prolonged roll of thunder is
readily explained by comparison with
a volley fred along line Of troops.
Suppose troops to be drawn up on
line In such numbers as to extend for
a mile and ordered by signal that
standing at the end of the line would
hear the report of the musket nearest
him instantly. He would hear the
others successfully. Thus report $50
feet away would come to him In half
d second. and he would not hear the
last report for Ave or six seconds after
the gun had been fred. This would
produce a sort of roll. which would
gradually Increase in intensity,
If the listener stood exactly midway
between the two ends of the line the
reports from both ends would reach
him at once. and the sound would be
but half as long in reaching him as II
he stood at one extremity. If the sol
diers formed circle there would be
one sharp explosion.
Flashes of lightning may be consid-
cred as representing three lines of
troops along which the explosions oc-
cur at the same time. Consider the
variety Of distance and position Of the
listener and we account for the va
riety of sound In thunder. In noun
famous regions the rolling is augment
ed by reverberations or echoes.
