The Auto m o bile Law.

The high ways belong to the people,
the men, the women, the old women
and the young children, and every one
of them has right in every part of the
highway equal to that of anybody who
drives an automobile, whether it is on
the street crossing or in the middle of
the block, whether it is on the place
where the horses are driven and the
automobiles are driven or whether it is
on the sidewalk. The pedestrian has
just as much right on a highway as an
automobile, and the driver of an auto
mobile must pay attention to pedes-
trians who are on the highway. The
automobilist cannot count on the Pc
destrian increasing speed or getting out
of the way when he blows his horn.
Those are some of the points Justice
De Angels made in his charge to the
jury in the Van Deusen case. Van Deu-
sen was convicted of mansaughter in
the second degree because while driving
along Genesee street he ran into and
killed Lewis l.. Jones. Van Deusen did
not intend to kill Jones. He merely
was careless, the carelessness perhaps
being accentuated by some but not
large quantity of alcohol he had taken
into his system. Liquor and driving
automobiles are incompatible, and they
should not be mixed but aside from
that it should be learned from this Van
Deusen case that even the fully sober
automobile driver must have care.
Because people scramble out of the way
rather than be hurt does not mean that
the duty is theirs to thus scramble out
of the way. From the Rome Sentinel.

Auto Overturns, Two Injured.

Swanton, Aug. 3.-Amos C. Skeels
of Grand avenue and his son, Ira
Skeels, who resides two miles south of
this village, were injured Saturday
forenoon when their automobile turned
turtle, pinning the elder Skeels beneath
the machine. The two were about two
miles from Swanton on the way to
Highgate Center. The elder Skeels was
driving. He had not operated the car
many times and pulled the lever the
wrong way, causing the car to overturn
in the ditch 10 feet below
There was no telephone within mile
of the scene of the accident, but fortu-
nately two men were working in hay
field nearby and they came to the as
sstance of Ira Skeels, who was making
desperate attempts to move the car
The three succeeded in lifting the auto
mobile from the injured man and doc
tors from this place We're summoned
Mr.. Skeels was brought to his home
and although his injuries are serious it
is not thought they will prove fatal
They were confined mostly to the right
leg which was badly torn. His back
was injured somewhat.

NEW DISCOVERIES IN SOUND.

Three weeks ago Mr.. Battell pub
lished in this paper the first chapter of
Vol. III of ELLEN or Whisperings of
an Old Pine" in which he showed that
Sound was made by Sound.
This statement, which appeared in
the book mentioned over a year since,
was introduced in the Register of July
18 as follows:
1.-THE explanation of the action of
sound in a photograph is entirely
erroneous. The photograph has been
superseded by the graphophone, but the
action of sound in each is practically the
same. The sound, moved by its own
motive power, is conducted into the
graphophone, collected by the diafram,
to which is fastened sharp tool called
the stylus, that cuts a groove in the
paraffine and wax of the revolving
cylinder, into which groove the par
ticles of sound enter, forming small
depressons, named indentures, that,
when struck by an instrument called
the reproducer, throw off sounds similar
to those conducted into the graphic
phone"
Since this was written, Mr.. Battell
thus gives further very interesting
knowledge Of the manufacture of
Sound, which is clear enough to forever
dispel the principle which has been
generally taught in text books now for
5000 years, more or less, that Sound
is composed of air waves.
The reproduction of Sound from Sound
referred to above is accomplished by
the Sound first making an instrument,
which under proper conditions will re-
produce the Sound that made it. This
instrument may be represented in the
graphophone by indentures or in a diff
ferent imachine by a magnetized wire
or it may be of any Other form, but the
same principle is in involved an it is
analogous to the reproduction of plants
from seeds.

are ready.
Labor conditions have been some
what unsatisfactory of late, but steps
have been taken to supplement the
supply and steady improvement in
this respect is noticed. At the present
time, when there is necessarily so much
hand work on the excavation, preparing
the bedrock for masonry, a shortage
of labor effects the output much more
notceably than when such work is being
done by machinery. But with a large
area of bedrock uncovered, in the
deepest portion of the excavation, and
concreting practically in sight, it is
confidently expected that the masonry
will be up to the elevation of the old
river bed by the close of the year. -

Frank w. Smith of Ill Blackwood
street, Boston, chauffeur for j. Arthur
Beebe of 1879 Commonwealth avenue,
Boston, was given hearing Monday
before Judge Samuel c. Cutler in the
Chelsea court on a charge of man
slaughter in connection with the death
of Henry Sombolski, 10 years, of 80
Broadway, Chelsea. The court found
probable cause and held Smith for the
grand jury under the same bonds.
The accident, from which the boy
died from a fractured skull, happened
on the night of July p, on Broadway,
Chelsea, near the entrance to the Naval
hospital. Smith, together with Beebe,
the owner, had come from West Man
chester and was on his way to Boston,
where Beebe's daughter, Emily E.
Beebe, had committed suicide that af-
ternoon by shooting herself at the
Hotel Touraine
The court, in passing upon the case,
said the defendant had opportunity to
see anybody who might be in the street,
if he had been looking. The evidence
showed that Smith was driving the ma
chine on the car tracks and that he did
not attempt to turn the machine to the
right until after he had struck the bow.
Witnesses testified as to their failure
to hear horn blown. Boston Herald.

men narrowly escaped death in the
overturning of an automobile on hill
in Westminster today. Daniel Connors.
Patrick Foley and William Hart were
being driven to Gardner to attend the
funeral of Thomas Joyce, and were go
ing around curve in the road at the
rate of twenty-five miles an hour when

ing the Fitchburg car, turned sharply
to the left to avoid collision and his
car turned turtle.
Foley, Hart and Fales were thrown
several feet up the embankment on the
side of the road, while Connors was
pinned under the car. The occupants
of the other automobile assisted in get

tended the funeral, but all had to be
treated by physicians at their homes
later in the day.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1913.
THE SMOKERS RESPONSIBILITY

Attention has been called again all
over the country to the cigarette and
cigar stub and the flaming match as
fire perils by the items in the news
columns attributing the Binghamton
holocaust, like the Triangle fire of two
years ago, to the carelessness of some
smoker Obviously it is impossible to
present statistical demonstration of
the loss of property and of life by fire
for which the thoughtless smoker may
be responsible. Fires become confia
grations because they are not discovered
until they have gained such Roadway as
to battle the fire departments. Often
their origin is uncertain. But when
Investigations are made by experienced
men the news readers know that very
many are attributed to the careless
habits of some cigar or cigarette
smoker.
The fire peril is always with US and
the fire hazard must be lowered by
every possible means. Probably the
greater number of smokers are reason
ably careful. From time to time we
notice with satisfaction the care with
which smoker makes sure that his
match or his cigar stub is extinguished
before he throws it aside. But there
are unquestionably very many smokers
who, because either of thoughtlessness
or indiffel ence. take no precautions
whatever. They are a serious fire
hazard.
Two things should be done Smokers
81 ould be educated to the necessity of
caution always and everywhere. And
smoking might very properly be pro-
hibited by law in certain places. We
understand that in New York the fire
commissioner Investigations showed
that 5000 fires year were caused by
the smoking of workmen in lofts, shops,
storerooms and department stores, and
that he caused all these places to be
placarded with warning that smoking
would be punished by fine, imprson-
ment or both. Such law may be hard
to enforce, but the warning in itself
should prevent lot of fires. - Boston
Journal.

There has been no more fragrant VIC
lation of the law and lack of respect for
the rights of the people than that ex-
hibited in New York City last Wednes-
day night, when two automobiles raced
along at speed estimated at forty
miles an hour until one machine swerved
toward the sidewalk, jumped the curb
and killed baby and one man and Sc
riously injured another man, the father
of the child. 1t was good fortune that
both the chauffeurs were placed under
arrest Immediately by a police officer
who happened to be near the spot, so
that there can be no mistake in placing
the serious penalty which ought, in all
reason, to be imposed on both the driv-
ers of the machines. 1t was one of the
worst cases of disregard of the rights of
the public that have come to noti.e re-
