come down. 1t was all the same TO
him, only 1t would never come down.

he also kept his flag flying. He also

such wonderful symmetry that we

that rule and compass had been en-

For above reasons the humidity or
moisture in the atmosphere is expect

Prof. Abbott of the Smithsonian In

America, where, through the aid Of a
congressional appropriation, he has
been trying to determine whether the
suns heat force varies in periods Of
from five to ten days, as they found
was the case in the northern hemis-
phere. That variation has been used
in our weather work for twenty-six
years. But it is the moon and not the
sun that causes the variation. We are
Of opinion that Prof. Abbott is look
ing too far away for the cause of that
variation, and that he will find the
period of the variations to be longer
in December and June than in'March

Dr. Hatfield has done probably more for suffering human
W IN this vicinity than any other man, he having for the past
several years devoted great portion of his time absolutely
without charge to the relief Of unfortunate miners railroad
men and others injured in the mines on the railroad and in
lumber camps in this community The record of his work
along this line at the Miners Hospital at Wech is we'll known
and for this work as well as his many other good qualities he
is very much beloved by the people in all this section
understand that reports are being circulated in some
sections OF the state by opponents of Dr. Hatfield to the effect
that he is an undesirable citizen and not aWabdng man.
but wish to say that is only necessary to investigate his
standing in this community to verify the fact that such reports
are false and Sanderous cannot understand WIN any one
