FLIGHT TO The MOON
ASTRONOMER DOES NOT THINK
THE FEAT IMPOSSIBLE.
/ ny the Use Of Electrical Force II Can
BE Done, and Doubtless VIII, 40
eordine to Professor Gar
rett p. eervIss.

On the deck OF La Provence. az the
beginning OF an old-fashioned ocean
Journey for summer In France, Gar
rett p. Seryiss. the well known as
tronomer, talked seriously OF an air
ship service to the moon which he
believes the future has In store for
man.
II begin to think seriously. but not
too seriously. now that we have
achieved the navigation OF the air by
mechanical means, that there only re-
mains the necessity OF providing air
TO exist upon and things to eat for
man to 20 TO the MOON" he said.
"But we have got to have a new
motive force. Electrical propulsion
begins to hint what that force will be
when men fly from planet to planet.
You understand we have got to over
come gravity and there are only two
forces which overcome gravity under
certain conditions-pressure Of light
and electricity.
80 ! say that the first flying ma
chine to the moon will be based on
the principle OF the pith ball that
flies away from the conductor of an
electrical machine. When this has
been accomplished there only remains
to be done what modern chemistry
certainly can achieve; that is, to Ill a
strong vessel, a spherical vessel, with
enough afr and food TO sustain man
during the flight. This is not 20 ride.
lulous as It may seem, and the modern
achievement OF flying Is step in that
direction"
Incidentally Prof. Eerviss does not
believe there are any inhabitants on
Mars. my friend Lowell" he said,
doesn't allow for the fact that Mars
Its too small to retain an atmosphere.
Human beings could not remain on
Mars because there probably ia not
enough oxygen and nitrogen on that
planet. Tho gTavitative force Ia too
small TO retain an atmosphere. The
atmosphere fies away. Those lines
called canals are no doubt natural
phenomenon, Notwithstanding the fact
that they look artificial. Their ex-
istence is due TO the fact that Mars
is very fiat planet There are no
mountains there, and waters spread
out in every direction and form con-
meeting lines. The drainage system
runs in every direction and gives that
checkered appearance of criss-cross-
ing canals"

Notice to Legal Votes in the City of
Vlnita.
A. j. GREEN,
City Clerk.

On next Tuesday at the Primary
Election in the city there will be sub
mitted to you ballot for you to decide
whether or not the City of Vinita shall
purchase a new fire wagon with chem
ical equipment and hook and ladder
wagon with necessary equipments at
a cost of not to exceed Twenty-six hun
dred dollars.
The present fire wagon is about
ready to go to pieces, three wheels are
dangerous an dthe City has not suffi-
cient ladders in case of fire to get into
second story windows of buildings. In
many instances with the new fire wa
gon with chemical apparatus fires
could be extinguished without the use
of water thereby saving much proper
ty and il is necessary that the city
have adequate fire fighting equipment.
We are threatened now with a raise
in insurance premiums which would in
very SMUT NihlS dHiOuil W uiOIt
than the cost of the two wagons asked
for.
The method proposed for the pay
ment of this outfit is to use the money
from the fire and water fund out of
the income and revenue for the present
year. A we'll kept fire department
with the equipment asked for will
soon save property owners more than
the cost of the equipment in the way
of preventing an increase in insurance
rates as we'll as affording the City the
protection to life and property that a
first class fire department affords.

purpose OF paying for the construction
of Sewers within and for the use of the
City of vinita.
1t is the purpose of the City, in the
event the indebtedness is authorized,
to construct a sanitary sewer. from the
present outlet OF the Sewer System to
Big Cabin Creek; to construct another
septic tank with by passes around
each so that the sewage can run into
one while the other is being cleaned;
to enlarge the present sewer from the
present outlet back into the City to
the point where the two sewers join
and to repair the main sewer lines in
the City where same need repairing.
The present sewer system is made
quate for the demands of the City and
is now running full and in cases of
heavy rains whole joints jump out of
the line from the pressure and in
places the sewerage backs up over the
manholes In case the bond issue is
authorized the City will sell only a
sufficient amount of the bonds to meet
the requirements after the contract for
the construction has been let. The
present septic tank is in bad condi.
tion, having never been cleaned since
1t was installed several years ago
