TIVE have always looked upon
M perpetual motion as an
w 'ignis fatuus," and have
placed 1t in the same category as
the elixir Of perpetual youth and the
philosophers stone. But now, it ap-
pears, If we can believe report that
a young inventor, Mr.. Stanley Hitch
cock, Of Upper Norwood, England
has really invented a perpetual
motion machine that actually works!
Hundreds Of perpetual motion ma
chimes have been brought before me
during my long professional career
Most Of them were operated by a
falling weight. These were all quite
useless. Then an inventor appeared
with an apparatus in which the
weights only had to be lifted once
in order TO fall twice, but it required
q high order Of faith to believe this.
The editor Of the Scientific Ameri-
can published an illustrated article
about thjrty-fiye years ago, in which
he gave me the credit Of having in
vented the best perpetual motion
machine he had ever seen, which

does not work there is no truth in

It wiz be observed that on one
side We have a lot Of mines go
which are going down, and in doing
SO they raise a corresponding lot Of
SKIES cd on the other side, that they
are changed at the top from skies
into mines absolutely without fric-
ton: therefore, the tendency to rO-
tate is Just in proportion as nine is
greater than six-there is one-third
more going down than coming up;
nine is certainly greater than six.
therefore it is hard to see how
machine of this kind can fail to
work.

which no one understood
which their potency lay. He
talked to his followers Of polar

by a force as mighty as that which
holds planets in their courses; that
when those moving atoms in the
ether were disturbed and brought
into orbitic chaos the giant power
which had controlled them became
released, and could be harnessed to
run every motor, to turn every
wheel and spindle in the world.
And, modestly, Mr.. Kelly claimed
to have learned how to bring about
this necesss-v etheric and atomic
chaos and to capture the resulting
vibratOry power and put it to work
driving his motor.

 In politics the rule applies to as great an extent as in business. The local candidate for any particular position in the gift of the people may expect ito have to undergo a mlcroscopical examination at home, while his opponent from abroad is being accepted unhesitatingly and given long start in the race before it is fairly begun.
 No matter how clearly and fully We may be convinced of the honor and integrity and general fitness of the local man, the first impulse seems to be to ridicule the idea of his candidacy. He may have the entire respect of the community and be the known possessor of much more than the average quantity of brains but yet he is impossible as a candidate for office-the man from distance of whom we know only by hearsay is the one who should be blindly accepted.

THE LOCAL DEMOCRACY.

Last night was field night with the local Democracy. The Democratic club met and endorsed Martin Har- rais as the legitimate candidate of the Democracy of Alaska, repudiat- ing the candidacy of the Daly candi- date. The machine candidate held a big meeting in the skating rink and flayed the local Democracy alive. Tonight Martin Harrais holds a meeting at which he will endeavor to hand to the Daily candidate all that he believes is due him. In the meantime, the Republicans and So- cialists are pursuing the even tenor of their ways, avoiding trouble wherever it's presence is detected.
 As we have stated before, this paper is committed to the admins tration, and does not feel that it is its duty to assist the Democracy in any way, but as We have also stated our sympathies are with Martin Harrais, of the two Democratic can didates. He is a Tananaite, and all know him. That he is not the can didate of the Democratic machine in Alaska will not hurt him in this neck of the woods.
