SOLD SEVEN HUNDRED
These Tickets Disposed of for BOOs'

1t was estimated a noon today that
between six and seven hundred tick
cts had been sold for the Booster
Day - Tuesday - baseball game be-
tween the Kaws and the AnteIopes. 1t
is hoped to materially increase this
number by night. A number of loyal
fans are working this afternoon under
Harry c. Snyder and A. B. c. butcher,
the team captains. The goal for which
the fans are working is two thous;i nd
tickets but there seems to be a dis
inclination on the part of many people
to part with one dollar
Among those who We're successful in
the sale of tickets this morning We're

ing the largest number of tickets.
Fans who do not care about paying
dollar to see the game on Tuesday aft
ernoon need not stay away, as the reg
ular tickets will be good. The manage
ment of the Baseball association is
burdened with debt that was created
prior to this season. The idea of the
fans is to turn over 81 900 if possible to
help strengthen he team.

Not at all. The ladies didn't have

or they wanted to beat each other. They
could scrape only 10 cents together while
the fare was a dollar and a half, and the
choffer wasn't slow in giving them his
opinion of bilks 1t wasn't two minutes
before the whole neighborhood was on
the racket, and then there was fun. At
first the three women hung together as

Washington, Aug 25.-Free raw

HIS FISH DIED, TOO.
Man in Stockton Writes to Commits
Sioner Porter.

| An experience with dying fish similar
to his own a few days ago at Central
park, was related to Commissioner w.
L. Porter this morning in a letter from
DIR. N. L. Book of Stockton, Kan, who
says he is puzzled to know why his
fish died. Apparently without reason,
DR.. Book wrote, his fish came to the
top of the water ON July 4, August II
and again on August p, the last being
the day the fish died at Central park,
and many of them died. The eommo-
ton lasted a couple of days each time,
he said.
Porter thinks he has found a solution
for the problem in that the lakes are
somewhat overstOcked, and any at
moSpheric condition that tends to re-
duce the amount of oxygen in the wa
ter might occasion a repetition of the
former disaster. He expects to remedy
the defect by placing a spraying foun-
tain in the lake where the trouble oc-
CURED, which will have tendency to
mix oxygen from the air with the wa

DR.. Book saw the account of the
dying fish in the State Journal, he
said. He Immediately thought of his
own pond of fish. The first day he
had trouble he had fed his fish. There
had been on electric storm. The sec
the third time a dust storm was in
progress. All three times the tempera-
ture was high.
4 think the fish were hunting for
air or oxygen Porer said The best
/ can find is that there wasn't enough
in the water to supply them. and they
were suffocating. 1 think a fountain
playing over the lake will mix enough
oxygen into the water to avoid any
further trouble

ON WEST SIXTH
Surely Street Railway Co. Will
Use Good Brick in Paving.
Ought to Have Brick Blocks to
Match Rest of 1t.

Property owners on West Sixth ave-
nue. between Kansas avenue and Har-
rison street, and in fact for that mat
ter everybody who uses the street, are
hoping that the Topeka Railway COM
PGny will use brick between their
rails in the pavement that matches the
rest of the pavement. 1t is asserted
that the company may use old ami
narrow brick for the tracks, and thus
spoil the new pavement, which is Of
brick blocks
The repaving is costing the property
owners along the street more than
$4,000 for the pavement. Inasmuch
as the new pavement will be the con-
Meeting link between Kansas avenue
ard the good pavement west of Har-
rison street. and will be one of the
best stretches of pavement in the city,
those who are paying for the repava
me MT and are Interested in it do not
want to see it spoiled by inferior pave
ment between the street car tracks.
The city engineers office today de-
clared ii is anxious to see the same or
similar pavement used by the street
car company in paving their part Of
the street. 1t seems, however, that
the city cannot compel the company
to put any certain kind of pavement
between its tracks, and must allow It
t. use such paving as it sees fit.
Sixth avenue. when the new paving
is completed, will be one of the most
attractive streets in the city to drive
over, as it is now west of Harrison
street. The connecting link is being
put in. For a small outlay the street
railway company can use the same
grade of paving as the city is putting
in, and save the looks of the street and
the feelings of those who have use for
it. Numerous improvements that are
being made to property along the new
I'ovement, 1t is urged, warrants the

HAD FORTY ANSWERS,
Did Sanitary Sergeant. But None of
Them Right.

Forty answers. none of which were
exactly right, had been received from
Topeka boys and girls by Sanitary Ser
geant J. A Ramsey at noon today to
his question as to how many pecks It
takes to make 120 gallons. Some of
the answers. several of them being the
same, are very close to the right an
swer. But none of them exactly are
right.
The matter of dry and liquid gallons
and the variance in capacity, enters
into the answer. and was not taken
into consideration by several of the
youthful contestants who answered.
Ramsey has 120 gallons of flies
which he collected from young fly
catchers during the summer. He paid
for the flies at the rate from % to so
cents a peck Then they were placed
in tanks holding II given number Of
gallons. He is offering 81 to the
youngster in Topeka who first gives
him the exact number of pecks. and
decimal fractions thereof, contained

PROBLEMS FOR AVIATORS.
Flight of CsuIIS Leads to Exposition
New Theory of Air Navigation.

In the current issue of The AUX
which is Il ''quarterly journal of orni-
thology,' and much livelier than it's
name seems to indicate, there appears
one of those curious ard interesting
controversies that take place when an
indubitably honest observer deliberately
explains something he has seen and an
other man declares both the explana-
ton and the observation a violation
of the possibilities.
The observer in this instance, Will
liam Brewster, feels sure that while at
sea on q. steamer moving at Is miles an
hour within two points of straight into
a wind with a velocity between 20 and
30 miles an hour, he saw gullS, for
many minutes at Il time and in hoT:-
zontal flight, keep up with the vessel.
Some of he birds were in the wake
of the steamer, others over her just
abaft the smOkestack. and the greater
number abreast of her at. distances
VARYING; from Il few feet to 80 yards
They never did this sort of flight to
leeWard.
Mr.. Brewster being unable to believe
in the existence of upward air currents
in all these places evolved the theory
that - the wind constantly fills the con-
cave wings of the gulls, much as it
does the sails of close hauled vessels, y
and he inferred that the forward mo-
ton of the birds is the resultant of
two component forces that of the wind
and of the attraction of gravitation."
The weak point in this theory is that
it, ignores, or rather contradicts, the
fundamental principle of dynamics,
which is that a force can only do work
OH body that yields to it in some de-
gree. and that when two or more
forces act at the same time the yield
ing must be to each. That is obviously
done by boat sailing into the wind
but, is clearly shown by Alexander
Forbes, it as obviously was not done
by the gulls watched by MIR. Brewster
was not. that is, if, rs Mr.. Brewster
believes, they We're sailing a wind
moving horizontally, for in that case
they could gain forward motion only
by descent. which Mr.. Brewster ex
plicitly denies.
Mr.. Forbes theory is that. while Mr..
Brewster did see what he thought he
saw. his Inscription of horizontality to
the wind was mistaken. and that what
the birds did was to ride an ascending
current created by the motion of the
snip against the wind. In such condi-
lions they would in effect be falling,
though they kept at the same level.
This second theory receives strong
confirmation from the fact that the
guIls carefully avoided the steamers
lee, where. of course. the motion of the
air woUld not be upward.-New York
Times

and of DR.. Austin Flint that Harry
would kill somebody else if permit
ted to be at large are foolishness.
Evelyn has dropped out of my
life she declared, when her daugh-
ter-in-law'S name was mentioned.
"Of course, now that she is on the
stage, [ hear of her now and then;
that is all. AT the first insanity

hearts, and at the second she dropped
out of her allowance. Yes, I've heard

that means another lawsuit, but
