road voted today 10 sell at S95 share

Railroad, which have been in the
company's treasury for nearly IA

Although unsuccessful in blocking
the sale, the minority filibustered suf-
fieiently to prolong the meeting for

the stock cost the Boston & Maine

definite plans announced as to the dis
posal of the proceeds of the sale, Pres

Traffic Arrangements
Traffic arrangements between the
Boston & Maine and the Maine Cen

action, according to Edgar j. Rich, So
licitor of the. former road. He said
that should the one road desire a
change to which the other objected the
difference would be adjusted by an
arbitration board of three. Each road
would choose representative on this
board, and these two would name the
third member.

that the government nominally will be

Mr.. Asquith apparently consulted n

other members of the House when he
revealed his plans. Mr.. Asquith is al

office he will continue to hold. II he
had merely shifted from one office II
another, the resignation of his seat in

PUBLIC SWIMMING POOL

One Of the Improvements that the
Star earnestly desires to see made
in Ocala is a public swimming pool.
Public gymnasiums with baths
and swimming pools attached are
becoming features of all up to date
cities. While Ocala is hardly able
to install the gymnasium and baths
yet awhile, the swimming pool is
within our reach, or soon will be.
1t is not necessary to be very elab-
crate in the beginning. A good, big
pool 100 feet long by thirty wide,
with a high fence around il. and a
Gozen dressing rooms, would fill the
bill until a more substantial struc-
ture could be erected.
The Star doesn't think the use of
such a pool should be free, at first.
A small fee of cents an hour should
be exacted, the money to go on the
pay of the custodian, who would
keep the place in order. and control
unruly boys if it was necessary.
Such bathing place would be a
godsend to the boys of Ocala, scores
of whom go to Silver Springs every
week in warm weather to enjoy a
swim.
A swimming pool in town would
give to hundreds what is now aces
sible TO perhaps tenth as many. 1t
would be the means Of teaching the
necessary art of swimming to hun
dreds who never hara chance to
learn now; it would add immensely
| to the health and comfort OF the
boys and go a long way toward keep
| ing some Of them out Of mischief.
Nor would the benefit Of a swim
ming pool be confined to the boys
| There are hundreds OF men in the
city who would be only too glad to
use it.
In this climate. bathing in water
at its natural temperature is agreed
able to robust people eight monthl
in the year. A swimming pool sub
easily be connected with a hot wa,
ter pipe, which would make bathing
pleasure all the year round.
| The Star has interviewed some
members r the council in regard tt
a swimming pool and found them
agreeable. 1t is hardly practicable
to build one in the present shape O
the water plant. But they have
promised to CO., sider the matter a.
soon as the plaAt is improved, ant
the Star isn't going to let them for
get it.

citizens, while iF the council ties US
up with a contract, the benefit will
go to the favored few who are given
the same. The most recent proof
Of the practicability Of drawing cleo
tricity direct from the air TO ma
chinery is set forth in the following
special TO the New York Times:
London, Monday, April 6.-Ac-
cording to the Madrid correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph, an expert
ment has just been carried out at
Pozuelo, near Madrid, which dem
onstrates the possibility of extract
ing electricity from the atmosphere
for commercial purposes.
Jose Yglesias, who recently caused
the explosion Of dynamite mines by
means Of infra-red rays, on Saturday
succeeded in drawing electricity from
the air by antennae, mounted in pairs
on wooden tower, thirty-three feet
high, erected on a high hill.
His apparatus received the cleo
tricity at pressure of 5000 volts
| which was transformed down to $50
volts. Fifteen electric lamps in a
house coo yards away were easily
lighted and maintained at full pres
sure during a Pre- onged test.
The expertmental apparatus OF
Senior Yglesi, S is very simple in
character, the whole having been
constructed inside fortnight. The
! experiments will be continued, with
the object Of ascertaining the full
caNcity of the installation.
Senior Yglesias says he can obtain
directly from the atmosphere enor-
nous quantities of electricity at will
according to the arrangement of the
| installation.
Among the persons who witnessed
the experiments were Count Maceds
and others in the immediate entour
age of King Alfonso, who were spec
tally sent by the msnarch to watch
! the tests.

UNIVERSITY NEWS
CHANGES MADE IN
RADIO SERVICE
-.
Wireless Signals to be Sent
From University on
Different Waves.

The university, radio station an
nounces certain, changes in the wire
less standard time and weather fore
cast service. The signals will be sent
as usual at S o'clock in the afternoon
on the regular 500 meter wave that
has been used for the past year.. The
noon signals, cnNthe other hand, will
be sent out until further notice ON a
1h0O meter wave. The reason for the
change is hat some difficulty has
been experienced by stations over 200
miles distant from the university in
receiving the 500 meter wave in the
daytime. d..
1t is we'll known that the short
wave Is radiated more vigorously and
this wave has been. always used in the
long distance night tests, with Ann

Owing to:the fact thai short ave

time. 1T has been thought best to use
at, midday q long wave subject to less
absorption, in spite Of the fact that the
radiation with this wave is not quite
so vigorous. 1t Is anticipated that
for stations within $50 miles Of the
university the 1900 meter wave will
not be received with as much strength
as the shorter wave. Indeed this has
been confirmed by various stations To-
Gated in Fargo. and by the station
recently installed In the Devils Lake
high school.
Experiments last year between this
station and Bismarck indicated, how
ever, that. at greater distances the
long wave would be superior; hence.
the long wave is being given a trial
until further notice for the noon sig
nails In the hope that the service for
distant stations may be thereby inn
proved. The wave is received with
such strength by all stations within
100 miles that a loss of SO per cent
in strength will not be a disadvan-
tage.
The attention Of the stations in
Fargo, Wahpeton, Valley City, Penn
hina. Fessenden. Devils Lake, Dick
inson, Minot and Crosby is particular
~ called to this change. The director
of the university radio station will be
very glad to receive reports from
these and any other stations as 10 the

Approximately 500 cases of ferns,
Weighing rs pounds to the case, were
shipped from Amigo to Chicago, Min
'capolis, st. Paul. Milwaukee and
other points in the period extending
from September Is to November 10,
the date of the last shipment. The
ferns ere picked in the vicinity Of
elton and shipped from this city. by
Rossen and Turner Of Mosinee, who
operated camps and gave employment
to a large number of people. On ar
rival at their destination they are at
once frozen and placed in cold stor-
age. where they may be kept indefi.
nitely. The purchasers are green
house proprietors and florists. It
takes about three days to freeze a
case Of ferns to the center. There are
about 5000 cuts Of ferns to the case.
AS the ferns L needed they are re-
moved from cold storage. a case at a
time, and thawed out. They require
prompt and rapid shipment after be-
ing picked, to prevent spelling.
