The Phonoeraph

Mr.. Edison, it is said, was expert
menting with the telephone when
he suddenly felt prickling of his
finger. A needle was lying in such
a position that at every vibration
caused by sound on his voice his
finger was picked. His mind was
alert. BY special adjustments he
arranged the needle so that the
vibration would be recorded on pa
per. From this accident was born
the phonograph. by which the
sound of the human voice and of
the instrument of any orchestra

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1913-08-01

The action of the British government
in refusing TO participate in the Panama.
Pacific exposition at San Francisco in
1915 was discounted some time ago when
Great Britain ran into disagreement
with the United States over the conduct
of the Panama canal. For Great Brit
ain now to participate in the event which
celebrates the opening Of the canal would
be to countenance the acts of the United
States in direct opposition to the posi-
ton and contention of Great Britain.
And aside from the diplomatic side OF
the matter the Britishers naturally feel
somewhat piqued over being blocked in
their contention and are not disposed to
assist in forwarding the exposition.
Therefore, the official announcement OF
that governments decision not to take
part in the San Francisco show is likely
to be taken by Americans as a natural
course.

The Dam at KeOkuk.

Last week the streets of st. Louis
were lighted and the wheels of its street
cars turned by power that came along
$50 miles of cable from the new dam
that crosses the Mississippi from keo
kuk,, Ia. TO Hamilton i'll. 1t was the
beginning of the usefulness of the
greatest power dam in the world-a
dam built mainly through the enter
prise, engineering skill and financial
management of New Englanders.
The great Mississippi which has hith-
erto been harnessed only on its upper
reaches must henceforth devote less of
its energy to destructive rampages. The
100000 horsepower-t is the capac-
ity of the wonderful concrete struc-
ture that stretches mile from shore
to shore-will furnish light and trac-
ton power for the large cities of five
states and will turn the wheels OF mills
and factories where hundreds of thous
ands of men are employed. The dam
crosses the river at the foot of the long
rapids Just above the mouth of the Dies
Moines river, where great power pos
sibilities have been recognized but I'M
utilized for generations.
The cost has been S27 100000, and
in many respects the great undertake
ing may be compared with the work at
Panama. Only one dam in the world,
that at Assouan, on the Nile, is larger.
1t is hard to overestimate what all this
will mean to the industrial and agri-
cultural development of the great mid
die West. Yet we live in an age of
such marvels. one browning another in
bewildering succession, that this stu
pendous work creates little amazement.

CURRENT COMMENT
Gov. Fletcher's Statement Unsatisfactory

Gov. Fletchers statement unsatisfactory
Governor Fletcher, in his brief and
entirely inadequate statement concerning
his removal of Chairman Charles ID. Wat
son of the public service commission and
the enforced resignation of George IL.
Babbtt from the same body, states that
he did not ask Chairman Watson or
other members of the commission to pre-
Judge the case in relation TO the tele
phone companies and their alleged over
charges and other onerous conditions, as
found by the special commission, f. A.
Cook of Lyndon and w A.. Graham of
Bellows Falls, appointed by the exeeu
tive This statement of the governor
is to be taken at its face value. The
governor, however, does not disavow any
pre- judgment on his part of the public
service commission and their prospective
course with reference to the telephone
situation. This is more important. and
more to the point. Governor FletCher's
statement is far from satisfactory or
assuring, and The News repeats its ques-
ton: Is the governor to be the public
