nissioners Of the respective counties.
Due notice Of the hearing of the board
Of county commissioners for the pur-
pose OF this hearing is required to be
given. AT such hearing a property
owner may appear and offer testimony
touching the question of the value of
his property as fixed by the assessor
of taxes Upon such hearing the
board may, in the discharge of its
statutory duties in the premises OF
'perfecting, reviewing and equalizing
the assessment" raise or lower the
value placed by the tax assessor upon
the property of such owner for assess
ment purposes.
1t appears from your commune ca
ton a S above quoted that the hear
ing in this case has been concluded
and that the board of county COM
missioners did in fact lower the value
fixed by the assessor upon certain
items of property. The property own
er and taxpayer has, therefore, aC-
quired rights which cannot be ignored
My opinion is that, under this state
of facts, and at this time. you have no
legal authority to alter the assessment
value Of the items of property that
have been duly adjusted by the hoard
OF county commissioners for the pur-
pose of equalizing assessment values
AT the nearing given in due course
Very respectfully.

speaking, and see just how 1t is made.
Beneath the ordinary street car you
will find two to four powerful cleo
trio motors geared directly to the axle
Of the car trucks. These motors differ
somewhat from ordinary electric mo-
tors in their design. but they operate
eXac city the same as the electric mo-
tor which drives an office fan. the sew
ing machine or vacuum cleaner in the
home. These motors are very power
full and are almost completely hidden
from sight in the trucks beneath the
car.
The electrical energy for driving the
street cars is sent out over the troll
ley wires. The electrical power is gen
Grated or made, in the central power
house, or it may be transmitted from
some nearby water power develop
ment where the energy of the falling
water is changed into electricity. The
trolley wire is suspended above the
street from poles and guy wires.
The electricity is kept on the trolley
wires by suitable insulators of glass,
porcelain or composition, over which
the current cannot travel. The cleo
trical current flows easily and smooth
ly along the trolley wire, like water
in a pipe, although it cannot be seen.
the copper wire extends the
electrical power flows and is always
ready to drive a trolley car.
d
trolley wheel at the end of the pole
which runs along the under side of the
trolley wire. The electrical power
from the trolley wire flows through
this wheel and down the trolley pole
to a heavily insulated cable concealed
IN the top of the car. This cable car
ries the electricity to the controller"
in front of the car. The controller is
the iron box which stands in front of
the motorman. At the top of this
box are two levers. The smallest
lever is used to turn on and off the
current supply and the larger is used
to control the current, or to feed it
to the motors beneath the car in any
quantity as desired. When the mo-
torman turns the controller handle a
few notches a certain amount Of cleo
tricity is allowed to flow from the
overhead trolley wire down the pole,
the cable and control box, to
the motors beneath the car. The car
starts and the motorman turns the
controller handle further, feeding the
motors more current, and the car
picks up to its regular running speed
The electric current flows to the car
over the trolley wire. After it flows
the car via the cables,
the controller, the resistance
and the motors. it flows out of the car
through the iron wheels and back to
the power house along the steel rails,
thus completing the circuit.

joyful Anticipation

There is apt to be a latent apprehension

natural strain upon the cords and liga-
ments is not accompanied by those severe
pains said to cause nausea, morning sick
ness and MANY local distresses. This
splendid embrocation is known to a multi
tude of mothers.
Many people believe thai those remedies
which have stood the test of time. that

FEW WHO RIDE DAILY ARE ABLE

OF all the thousands and thousands
of people who daily ride upon the cleo
trio street cars of our cities-and the
last census shows that IL, 5,431, ZIG
fares were rung up in 1912-only a few
understand what hauls the cars along
the rails. 1t is easy enough to under
stand the steam railroad system. A
steam engine, mounted on wheels. is
hitched to a number of cars. The
steam engine part of the locomotive
is coupled to the driving wheels and
when the engine is started the wheels
turn and the train moves. But the
electric street car is quite another
thing and vastly harder to understand

driven by electric power which is car

But the man behind the coun-

Thus the Government encour-

The Mystery Of Flying Suns
BY EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN.

more waves enter the eye than
if the body is going away on a
straight line.
Now the exceedingly refined
measuring instrument, the spec
troscope. when attached to
huge telescope. is able to meas
ure this excess and dimnution of
waves of light. The good folks
in Arabian times never imagined
any fantastic thing comparable
with this scientific reality. For
waves measured range from
lengths in between $4,000 to g.
600 to the inch that are visible;
while the foto- telecamera, in con-
junction with the spectrosc1pe,
deals with waves still shorter, so
short that no eye can see them.
but still visible to molecules of
chemicals on very sensitive and
rapid films and plates.
The degree of accuracy is far
greater than that Of carpenter
measuring the length of board.
And these suns are all in motion
ordinarily in between limits of
10 so miles per second. But few
suns. In a select class all by
themselves, move from 1875 TO 200
miles during each second Of time.
The paths of suns when flying
singly and alone in interminable
space are not called orbits, for
the paths of bees in swarm
would not be called orbits But
where binaries and ternarles are
in revolution around their COM
mon gravitation center, by twos
and threes. then the paths are
regular comic sections and are
expressed by the word orbits.

high crimes and misdemeanors'
of which, seven years before,
Burke had, in such dramatic
fashion, accused him in the au-
gust name of the Commons of
England.
Long ago as all this was. its
moral is still fresh and pertinent.
Warren Hastings was the very
ACCOMPLISHED and most capable
tool of a system of exploitation
tnat is still by no means extinct
among men. Hastings was at one
and the same time innocent and
guilty He was, in a word. just
as innocent and just as guilty as
the Government that put HIM on
trial.
II that Government had the
moral right to be in India, then
Hastings was entitled to claim
that he was innocent Of any
charge of crime. since he was
simply the Governments agent in
carrying out its Indian program
Thel worst that can be said OF
Hastings is that in a most mas
terly way he played the great
game according TO the rules OF the
oay-and Il would have been
piece OF rank injustice to have
punished him for doing the very
things he was ordered and eX
pected 10 DO.
