is not the same as a calendar
month, but it represents the
time from one full moon to the
next. which is, on the average,
about % days. 16 hours, A minu-
tes. A wear, which is measured
by the apparent motion of t h e
sun, is on the average 365 IA
days. Now this cannot be divid-
ed by the period of a lunar month
without a remainder. In conse'
quence, a full moon may occur at
any time in the course of an or
binary month.
But the rule for finding the
date of Easter is that it must
fall upon the Sunday immediat-
ely following the first full moon
which occurs on or after March
q, which is the regular date of
the equinox.
Last year the first full moon
following the equinox happened
on April l, which was a Monday.
The next following Sunday.
April 7. was then, according to
the rule. Easter day. This year
the full moon of the equinox
falls on March 22nd, which is a
Saturday, and the next day, the
23rd. being [ Sunday, :. becomes
Easter day.
System Made 400 Years B. c.
In as much as Christmas day,
which is celebrated as the ami
versary of the birth of Christ,
comes. at a fixed date every
year, December, Is, it would ap-
pear much simpler to.keep Easter
also as a fixed date as possible.
1t could not not be absolutely f.
xed because of the settled custom
of cele brating it en- Sunday,
but. as the astronomer Calvius
pointed out centuries ago, a rea-
sonable degree of regularity
could be introduced by making
Easter the first Sunday after the
equinox without regard to the
phase of the moon. If that date
were adopted the date of Easter
would still be q movable one.

kept within a week of a fixed
date.
The existing system of deter
mining the date of Easter is bas-
sed upon a discovery made more
than 400 years before Christ by
the Greek astronomer, Mention.
He found that 235 lunar months
are almost exactly equal in total
length to 19 years of 375 IA
days each. There is a difference
of only about two hours in the
course of the 10 years. This pc
riod is called the Metonic Cycle,
and its division into years gives
rise to the Golden Numbers,
which indicate the place of any
year in the cycle. At the begin
ming of the cycle, which as used
in the ecclesiastical calendar, is
reckoned from January /. of the
year l, B, c., new moon hap
pened to fall on January l.
Every year since then there has
been a new moon at the begin
ming OF. january, but during the
Intermediate wears of the cycle
the first new moon of the year
occurs at different dates in Janu-
airy, which are always the same
for years occupying the same
place in the cycle. This place is
called the Golden Number, and
by it's aid, through somewhat
complicated system ct computa-
ton, the date of the paschal
moon can be calculated any num-
Der of years in advance.
The Golden Number of any
year can be found by adding one
to the number representing the
year in ordinary rotation. and
then dividing the sum by 10. the
remainder being the Golden Num-
Der for that year. For instance
add to 1918. divide by 10. and
the quotient is 100, with IA re-
mainder, and this remainder is
the Golden Number of the year
1913. 1t shows that 1913 is the
fourteenth year in a Metonic Cy-
Gle, and five years later there
will be a new moon January /

Indian Girls Die In Storm.

The coroner, DR.. Baer, was called
up Saturday night and informed
that two young ladies who left the
boarding school at Cheyenne Ag-
ency some two weeks ago in an at
tempt to reach home and were
caught in the snow storm, were
found, both having persisted in the
storm. 1t appears that several OF
the scholars at the school conceived
the idea of running away and while
searching parties were sent out and
everything done that was possible
to get them back. the children sep
arated, became lost and the storm
coming on these two girls were not
found. We are informed that the
girls were about seventeen years OF
age. One was daughter of Chas.
Papin and the other daughter OF
Benjamin Lee, both OF whom live
in the eastern part Of the reserva-
ton.

Town Election.

The town election Tuesday was
productive of a. quiet contest be-
tween opposing candidates fol
trustees. This is the first time
that there has been more than one
ticket. A caucus had been called
for the 10th but not enough at
tended to do anything SO the word
was passed around Monday night
and about twenty responded to the
invitation and met at the Madison
house. The ticket placed in NOM
ination at that time was as follows:
Trustees. S. ]. Simonson, H. S.
Green and ]. F. Meredith; clerk,
w. H. Waterbury; treasurer, II. J.
Kindred; assessors, A. A. John
stone; justice, Eugene Murray.
This was known as the caucus
ticket.
The next morning another ticket
was placed in the field known as
the Citizens ticket" The only
change was in the candidates for
trustees. The latter ticket was the
one which received the majority
vote and the new board of trustees
will be as follows: First ward, +.
S. Ludlow; second ward, ]. w.

communication from Congressman
Martin with reference to the EN-

While interest in politics in this
part OF the state at present is at low
ebb. the Richards primary bill,
adopted at the November election,
is still the subject Of much specu-
lation by those who will have to
participate under its terms in the
1914 March primary election. Lo-
cal politicians who have been care
fully studying the measure, declare
that it is doubtful if any congress
man in South Dakota can be legal
ly nominated under that law.
The Richards law was originally
| drafted when fine state elected two
congressmen-at-large. Later the
state was redistricted, after the
congressionalreapportionment, and
the state now has three congress
men elected by districts. Mr..
Richards. in revising his prospect-
i've law, apparently failed to take
into consideration this change ana

improbable that unless this feature
of the primary law is amended at
an extra session Of the legislature,
for which eeveral newspapers in
the state are clamoring, the names
of no candidate for congress can be
legally placed on the primary bal
lot next March.

Bears Reported Numerous

Campers in the Cascade mountains
report that there are many bears this
year. This is the season Of the year
that they are after the berries. Many
bears have been killed this year by
hunters and no accidents have been
reported. There are at least two men
in the North Central Washington coun-
try who will never forget their awful
experiences with bears in the Cascades.
Amiel Pellegrin, Portuguese sheep
herderder, who is now in charge Of a
band of sheep in the mountains near
Lake Chelan, carries on his face awful
scars which are the result Of an attack
OF bear two years ago. Pellegrin had
heard noise among the sheep during
the night. He at once made for the
scene Of the commotion. Without
knowing it he came face to face with a
big bear. He did not realize his dan
ger until he was given a terrific swipe
which well nigh tore away half of hi:
face.

The Board Of Regents OF the Uni
versity OF Washington is just now hav-
ing its troubles because pressure is
being brought to bear by several news
papers to compel the board to abandon
its secret meetings and open all ses-
sions to the public and particularly the
press. The Board is not inclined to
do this, taking the position that to
permit all that goes on at its meetings
to be made public would tend to des-
troy the organized working force of the
University. Chairman Cosgrove, Of the
board, says that much of the good
work accomplished by the board would
be impossible if it were compelled to
let the press into all of its little sec
rets. Governor Lister has taken hand
in the matter and it is stated is in
clined to believe that the open meet
ing would best serve the interests OF
the public. The matter is likely to
bring about a political upheavel in the
personnel of the board in the judg-
ment Of those who are in touch with
subjects pertaining TO the state ad-
ADMINISTRATION.
The new weights and measures law
Of the State of Washington has at
tracted the attention Of the Federal
authorities. The United States Blu
reau OF Chemistry has secured data
regarding the Washington law from
Secretary Of State I. M. Howell, who
is also ex-officio superintendent of the
new department and some of the ideas
may be incorporated in the rulings
of the Federal department.
The weights and measures law will
mean a big saving to the consumers
in this state when the department is
fully organized and in operation" says
Mr.. Howell. 1t is the purpose of
the law to abolish short weights and in
my judgment this will be factor in
reducing the cost Of living in the state
of Washington. :"

ITEMS OF INTEREST
FROM THE NORTHWEST
Sixth Annual Convention of Northwest
Light and Power Association to be
Held in Seattle This Month

The Sixth annual convention Of the
Northwest Electric Light and Power
Association will be held in Seattle
September 8, 4, and S. An admins
trative paper on The Regulation of
Public Service Utilities" by George
A. Lee, Ex-Chairman of the Public
Service Commission Of Washington
will be feature of the convention.
The experience of Mr.. Lee, as Chair
man OF the Public Service Commission
of Washington, has qualified him to
speak with authority on this great
problem. He has chosen generally to
speak on the broad subject of regula-
ton rather than on any one phase OF 1t.
After calling attention to the fact that
state regulation has become in the past
few years a well defined governmental
policy resulting in the formation OF
commissions in many Of the states and
dwelling for moment on the condi-
tons which have inspired regulatory
legislation, he passes on to discuss
ion-frst, of the benefits and advan-
tages of regulation not only to the
public, but to the companies them
selves, and second, to point out some
of the dangers and disadvantages which
would result from unwise or corrupt
regulation.
