Q.-"You have stated in The
Georgian that two balls of equal
size. but one weighing twice as
much as the other, if dropped from
the same height at the same time,
would strike the earth at the same
time. Please explain the reason
why the heavier one does not strike
the earth first"
A-Newton made the capital
discovery that action and reaction
are equal And by his law of gravi-
tation, its attraction between any
two bodies is directly as the prod
uCt of their masses. From this 1t
is clear that if the mass of any
body increases. the force of attraC-
ton also increases at the same
rate and also its specific speed. In
vacuum, free from friction of air,
all bodies, whatever their respective
masses, obeying the attraction of
universal gfavitation. fall through
the same distance in the same time.

tion whether there is more timber

Change of Opinion
Toward the Theater.

She is too bright and too expe-
rienced a person not to have a
rather definite opinion upon ques-
ton of that kind lying so close as
it does to the line of her own in
terest and pursuit.
have always wondered why 1t
was that, communicative as she
proved to be upon all other matters
to which her attention was called,
she was so reticent upon this.
Even among distinctively church
circles there has been, during the
last so years, d decided change Of
opinion, or at least of usage, as to-
ward the theater.
Whether the truth of the case is
to be stated by saying that change
of sentiment induced change of
usage, OF change of usage induced
change of sentiment, is a question
about which opinions might differ.
We know that in such matters
people sometimes alter their Gus
toms and habits first, and then ad-
just their opinions to match.
1t is rather commonly the case
that we shape our doctrines to fit
our behavior rather than our be-
havior to fit our doctrines, and.
having learned to ALLOW ourselves
modes of living and doing that
conscience would at one time have
forbidden, turn around and fix over
our doctrine in way to satisfy the
neCessaries of our altered and per-
haps deteriorated behavior; for we
do like to keep our conduct and our
creed somewhere in sight of each
other, whether by prodding the one
or by curling the other
This is not however, to be taken
as critique upon the theater, for

Down by the Sea
By SLOANE GORDON.

w TERE living down by the sounding sea
w The sad, the ceaseless, sobbing sea
Where the waters wet and the air is free
BY the soulful, singful, sighful sea.
And there's plenty of fog and sand and sky
And the sand flea RACES and fish are shy.
The grocer of course, is the job,
And that's why the sea and the victims sob:
But the waters wet and the air is free
And it costs you nothing to see the sea-
out in the grass and through the wood
The chigger chigs a Chigger should,
He burrows into your trusting hide
And seeks to emerge on the other side
For energy, push and ceaseless toll
The chiggers the insect Standard Oil:
The wood tick dales along the way
But the chigger chgs till the close of day.
The songful skeeter Of jersey fame
Gets happily into the Summer game
He nips ankle nips a nose,
And loves the open-work style of hose
He sings his way through peek-a boo
And all men envy him-wouIdn't you2
As soon as the chiggers day is done
The skeeter's shift is a once begun.
But still, were down by the sounding sea:
And the waters wet and the air is free,
The crafty crab and the cooling clam
CFor which no fisherman gives a-contfnentaD
Can be procured for the price of meat
II one must sorddy stop to eat:
or one may fstten on beans and pork
That are timed and labeled i'm old New york
But the waters wet and the air is -
And it costs us nothing IN 80 me sea,

Theaters Have Large
Mission to Fulfill.

Tears wrung from the eyes by
fictitious sin or fictitious sorrow
neither spring from the heart nor
soak back into the heart in gra-
cious irrigation.
Nevertheless a theater that deals
in what is intelligent or even in
what is emotional has a large mis-
sion to fulfill in these days of suf-
fe1ing and WEAKNESS.
We need more diversion not
less. Only let the friends of the the
alter be content to credit it with
Just so much service as it is con-
stitutonally fitted to render and
not claim for it a function which it
is inherently incompetent to per
form.

The End in Sight.

This mans inherited wealth Will
not last long. His letter tells a
story that ends in financial ruin. He
wants to "enjoy it while it lasts
and his manner of enjoyment is
such that it will not last long.
This is not the greatest misfor-
tune; he will spend it in such a
way he can never again be con-
tent with the simple enjoyments he
found in his twelve dollar income.
That was earned by hard. honest
labor. He could not afford any eX-
travagant joys with it, but a pleas
ure doesn't have to cost much to
be a pleasure when one loves, and
is with the object of ones affec-
ton.
He can't go back. He thinks in
his present moments of puffed-up
idleness that he doesn't want to go
back. But the day will come when
he will curse his little inheritance,
his own asinine conceit and stu
pidity, and the day he was born.
He says the girl loves him. That
may have been true when he got

Written For The Georgian
By the Rev. DR.. c. H. Parkhurst

TN an interview which it was my
pleasure to have with Madame
Bernhard a year or two ago,
one question which / asked her she
failed to answer.
She had told me that any In
quiry which I might make of her
she would reply to, but in one in
stance she was evasive, and very
much to my regret, for I felt that
her answer 3 to that particular
question would reveal a good deal
to me as to the moral and reli-
gious attitude of her own mind.
The inquiry to which I failed to
receive a reply was this; do you
give your preference to the pulpit
or to the stage, considered as means
of human uplift?"

that which the theater has to offer
assuming, of course, that it is
Observation-Disclosures meets a le-
Ultimate demand in that it minis
tiers refreshment. that it is rational
without being mentally wearying,
and that it is diverting without
being sensuously debasing.
That except in rare instances peo-
pie are made any better in their
morals or finer in their -piety by
the theater there is no reason to
believe.
And it is easy to suppose that
Madame Bernhardt's conviction Of
that fact is what explains her ret
icence in reference to the question
which she evaded. A man Is not
morally or religiously bettered by
any influence that does not tend
to some sort of moral or religious
action, and that Is a result which.
judging from observation is not
practicable of dramatic exhibition.
The whole thing is conducted in
an unsubstantial atmosphere of fic
ton. A successful actress. who
consulted me in regard to certain
matters that touched closer to the
line Of actual living than those that
were traversed by her own dramat-
ic experience, once said to me:
That which you say is probably
true, but ! have lived so long and
so constantly in the realm Of the
unreal that am not able to dis
criminate between what is true and
what is false"
A whole audience may be
brought to sob with tender emo
ton. without a single member hay-
ing his heart permanently softened
into condition of finer altruism.

stand wear, any more than their
tawdry attire will stand a storm.
They are snowy and tickle. If
they have one good trait it is hid
den under ignorance and conceit.
If they have little success they
turn that success into failure by
letting it turn their heads.
If they have little money they
become the prey of all the unscrup-
ulous. Their conceit is so binding
they lose the power of recognizing
the true from the false, and good
friends in their humber days are
abandoned for fiatterers.

RAILROAD WRECKS.

Washington.-The wrecks on railroads
continue unabated. A passenger train on
the Queen & Crescent was wrecked at
Meridian, Miss, resulting in the death
and injury of a number of passengers.
At Newcastle, Pa, head-on collision by
a Baltimore & Ohio passenger train ran
into an open switch and killed five rail
road men and fatally injuring four 9TH
ers, while one mail clerk and the con-
ductor were seriously injured. Thirty
four persons were injured when a Big
Four train left the track three miles from
Carey, Ohio, the accident being caused
by spreading rails. A Pennsylvania train
at Torresdale, Pa, killed six persons by
running into a wagon, the crossing, usu-
ally guarded, being unprotected. A ter
rible accident occurred recently at Kin
mundy, ILL.,, in which James T. Harrahan,
ST., former president of the Illinois Cen
trail; Frank o. Melcher, second vice
president of the Rock Island; E. B..
Pierce and Eldredge E. Wright were
killed. brakeman on the Pennsylvania
railroad in this city was run down by a
freight car and his leg crushed, neces-
stating amputation. Five passengers on
a Pennsylvania train were injured near
Phillipsburg, N. j., the train being de-
rallied.

CONVICT LABOR IN VIRGINIA.

Richmond.-The governor of this state
has reiterated his belief that the custom
of letting state convicts out by contract
should be abolished, and again suggested
working convicts on state roads, in a
note which he attached to one bid for
convict labor, which he has transmitted
to the legislature The Reliance Manu-
featuring company of New York and Chi
cago, bid for 500 convicts at 65 cents
each per day and for women convicts at
40 cents per day; they to be employed
in the manufacture of overalls and shirts.
1t is expected that the convict labor
question will be considered by both
houses of the legislature, and an effort
is being put forth to abolish the system
of farming out these unfortunate people.

there occurred in the same city of St.

BOUQUETS FOR THE EDITOR.
Mrs. Dunsmore, the Florist, Makes
Special Effort to Please Labor
ORGANIZATIONS.

From time to time The Bulletin Office
and the wife of the editor have received
the most beautiful bouquets and potted
flowers from the greenhouses of Mrs. l..
A. Dunsmore, whose place of business is
at 1863 West Fairview place. The Bull
letin appreciates these favora from this
well-known florist, who caters especially
to the trade of union men and women
and labor organizations.
Mrs. Dunsmore has the best in the
market When purchasing cut flowers
or plants from her the buyer can rest
assured that the blooms will be always
well developed but fresh, and will not
spread and fall from the vine as those
purchased from many dealers will do.
Her potted plants are sure to give salts
faction, for they are grown and cared
for by one who has spent years In the
study of plant life.
Labor organizations purchase many
floral tributes for their departing mem
bers, and the officers of these organiza-
tions should be made aware of the fact
that the best can be had from this well.
known flower woman at reasonable
prices-and the work on the floral Of
ferings is high class. She should receive
a just share of trade union patronage,
not only because the price is reason
able, but because she makes especial ef-
fort when preparing flowers for trades
organizations.
The advertisement Of Mrs. Dunsmore
has appeared in The United Labor Bull
letin ever since its inception, and she
informs the editor that her patronage
during the holiday season just past was
the best in any year since she has been
in business. When you desire something
in floral design, call her upon the tele-
phone and ask for an estimate as to the
price or jump on a car and ride out to
the greenhouses and you will not regret
the journey. You will come back feeling
well pleased, and satisfied with your pur-
chase.
