SCIENCE CHANGES WEATHER.
II Is Said That Many Telegraph In :
struments Have Wrought the Differ
encc.

That climatic conditions about Los
Angeles and Southern California are
gradually undergoing marked changes
are the result OF atmospheric phe-
nomena produced by the use of cleo
tric currents is one of the recent theo-
ries expressed by Sir Oliver Lodge,
the English scientist, before the Brit
isn Institute of Electrical Engineers,
While his American colleagues have
had little opportunity TO make thor
ough investigation OF the subject, it
is known that some of Uncle Sans
scientific sharps have been detailed
to look into the matter and learn, il
possible, what, If any, relation there
may be between weather conditions
and electricity used in the service of
mankind.
According to the theory expressed
by the English professor, the uncount-
ed currents of electric force passing
through the air from the hundreds OF
wireless stations along the coast, as
well as the influence of electricity used
for domestic and public utilities, are
slowly but certainly creating new
climatic conditions.
Among the eminent American sstu-
beats who have given the subject CON
sideration is DR. John B, Murphy
head of the American Medical asso-
| citation, who for several Years has
closely watched the increasing use of
electricity with reference to it's eff
feet on the human organism.
american scientists scarcely have
had sufficient time to determine just
what effect the use of electricity by
man is likely to have in changing the
climate" Mr.. Murphy said, and it
viii be many years before the question
is finally settled"
II believe that climatic conditions
here, as elsewhere, are governed by
cycles of time. and that peculiar
| changes may take place at certain PEI
RODS without the real reason being
known. In Norway, for instances, the
| mackerel fisheries are subject to cy-
cles of between sixty and seventy
RODS there will be two wears with no
fish in the sea. In similar manner
the climate here in California, ideal
as it certainly is, may gradually
change for the worse without any APP
parent reason. Later however I
think 1t will return to it's normal con-
diton.''
The theory that the wireless sta
tions are responsible for any atmos-
pheric alteration was secuted by the
celebrated doctor and the fault was
laid at the door of nature.--Los 9An-
geles Times. -

strong and consistent Republican
who in the course of many years OF
public service has accomplished much
for his district and his State He was
State land agent in 1865. State treas
urer in 1855, Governor in 1SS9-92. and
represented the Third district in the
55th. 56th, 57th, JSth, seth. Goth and
6lst Congresses. \ man of fine char
acster and decided talent for public
affairs. his natural ability developed
by long experience. Mr.. Burleish is
eminently qualified to represent Maine
in the upper House of the national leg
islature. In the new appor-
tionment Of ten years ago. Maine
would have had her representative
delegation in the lower House cut
down from four to three had it not
been for the watchfulness of Edwin c.
Bulleigh. then representative to con-
gress from the Third Maine district,
1t was Mr.. Burleigh, more than any
other man, who secured the great and
expensive government lobster cod and
marine fish hatchery at Boothbay Har-
for. Me-. which has already cut the re-
tail price of Holsters in two. and given
new energy to the fishing industries
all along the Atlantic shore front
No one of Congressman Burleigh's
constituents. Democrat or Republican,
ever called upon him in vain for any
assistance he could give. No Repre-
sentative i'm Congress was better quail
flied to render such service. He had
the confidence and friendship of his
fellow members, Democrats and Re-
pubicanS. and was d welcome and IA
vored visitor in all the departments
His work in behalf of the veterans OF
the civil War was particularly pains
taking and effective, as many pension
ers in the Third Congressional district
can testify. He secured for the State
the arsenal grounds and buildings in
Augusta, much needed addition to
the plant of the insane hospital. Bel
fast is indebted to him for her en-
larged and improved postoffice. and
Waldo county for the r f. d. routes
that carry the mail to nearly every
door These are hut a few OF the
things that Congressman Burleigh has
accomplished for the State and for his
constituents He is a business man.
and a business mana sane safe,
practical man-is what is needed in
Congress. The day for oratorical pyr-
otechnics is past. II is work that tells
now-work in the committees and on
the fioor-.and Mr.. Burleigh is an UNI
firing worker He is an approachable
man, who never forgets a face or
friend He is man of the people, a
man whose private and public life are
alike above reproaeh. When Senator
Hale closed his long and distinguished
service in the United States Senate he
had a commanding position in that
body. and we know of no one better
qualified to take up the work he laid
down than Hon. Edwin c. Burleigh OF
Augusta.

MASS MEETING HELD
TO TALK OF HOSPITAL

J. S. Stark and Phillip Rosenberg
stated they would give site for the;
location of the institution and liberal
subscription besides. After consider
able discussion of the matter, the
chairman was authorized to appoint
committee to consist Of one member
from the five churches in the city
with full authority to conduct a cam
paign to raise the necessary money
to secure the location Of the Sanitari-
um in Abbeyille. This committee has
authority to- appoint sub-co on1mittees
from each town and community In theS
county to assist In the work. 1t Is be-
lieYed that people all over the county
will contribute to this worthy cause,
as its location here will give them lo-
cal hospital facilities. 1t Is the idea
Of the committee of which Mr.. Bris-
Itow Is chairman, that at the beginning
the institution would be what is gem
orally known as q, Hospital, where
sick people are treated, but to devel-
op into a hospital and a Sanitarium,
where people will come to be treated
for nervous trout.es and other all
ments which do not require that they
remain in bed all the time. There Is
no institution of this kind In this Sec
ton of the country, at present, and
many people are forced to go to West
Baden, Ind, and other points. II this
idea is carried out there Is no telling
the many benefits to be derived from
the location of such an institution In
Abbeville and it Is believed the citi-
zens of the county generally will com
tribute literally to a fund to secure
it here. .

DR.. MeMURRAY DISAPPOINTED
Because 1t Pays to Advertise In The
Press and Banner He Lost the
Use OF q Piano

There are at least two business
men in Abbeville who have had
practical demonstration OF the iact
that it pays to advertise ana tne iur-
ther fact that The Press and Banner
is a good medium for their advertis-
ing. Last week the McMurray Drug
Company advertised in The Press and
Banner that they had secured from
W. A. Calvert a piano which would be
placed in their store to demonstrate
the new line of Mckinley 1Oc music
which thew have Just installed. But
DR.. McMurray reckoned without Ais
host, for in the same issue OF the pa
per the proposed piano was advertis-
ed, and as a result of the ad. Mr.. CAL
vert has disposed of the, piano. There
are two morals to this story: one ID
that Won must not count your chick
ems until they are hatched," and the
other is 1T certainly does pay to ad-
yertise."
