tsTF an electric fan could be

Of wind to move a small sailboat,
and such a fan was placed on the
end of boat with the wind from
the fan blowing against the sail
on the very boat the fan is on, is
it possible that it could move the
boat? The argument is that the
fan, being on the same boat as
the sail. can not move itself. But
as the air detaches itself from
the fan and hits the sail, my idea
is that it can, provided it has the
strength to move the boat. Please

cause it is a woman who asks 1T;
and second, because it involves
principle of physics that ought to
be universally understood, and
ignorance of which may lead to
the waste of both time and money
upon inventions that will not
work
The writer of the question
thinks that because the air, as she
expresses it, is detached from"
the fan when it starts off to-
strike the sail, it ought to act like
an ordinary wind and push the
boat before it. But she would
not think so if she reflected that
the particles of air driven from
the fan resemble a swarm of bull
let's shot from a gun.

ease in barber chair at No. is
1urjJe street at $50 o'clock Friday
morning.
He was being shaved and had, just
rs9uested the barber, Will Gore, to
rim his mustache, when he expired.
pecuiiar circumstance is that this
is the second death that has occurred
in Cores chair.
captain Cook had the longest war
record of any member of Camp Walk
Or of which he was commandant for
many years. He was in the thick Of
40 battles, including Gettysburg and
bore 10 his grave the marks of half a
dozen severe wounds.
When the war broke out, he Joined
company l, Colquitt's Brigade, as a
nriy8te. and early distinguishing him
self bv his valor, he soon arose to the
rank Of captain.
He was born in Baker County n
1S42 and enlisted from that county.
After the war he came to Atlanta and,
with Captain Keely, founded the de-
rartment store on Whitehall street.
About twenty years ago he retired
from business. He served one term
as doorkeeper of the Senate after re-
firing.
CAPTAIN Cook lived with his only
daughter, Mrs. G. L. Berry, at No. 635

The State Geological Survey now is

Mr.. McCallie's Office is making the

THE time is very important said
Mr.. McCallie. "If we can get the eX-

The speed Of the wave in the great

SHOULD BACK ANDALUSIA.

The Rock Island club. the Rotary
club and the Rock Island Business
Mems association should exert their
good offices in behalf of the retention
OF its present river facilities by the
village of Andalusia, for II means a
good deal to Rock Island as well as to
the entire lower end OF the county.
Andalusia, as has been pointed out, is
the only port on the Illinois side be-
tween here and New Boston, nearly
co miles away by water. II should be
made clear to those who have the final
say as to the policy of river improve
ment that at least a hearing is desired
before any more water is diverted to
the Iowa channel from this side, either
at the head of Smiths island or
through the gap at Andalusia.
While there is no warrant for the
belief that the government engineers
will sanction any change which will
cut Andalusia off from connection with
the channel, as some seem to have
feared, any further decrease of flow
on the Illinois side will tend to make
it less easy for boats TO reach the viii
age landing in low stages. Even the
reconstruction of the dam across the
Illinois side below the village, while il
would raise the water there temper
arily, in the long run would inevitably
lead to n fill near the Illinois shore
above, because il would throw the wa
ter through the gap to the Iowa side
at that point. This would amount to
barring larger boats from Andalusia
unless much dredging were done to
keep a suitable depth. Closing of the
Illinois channel would also virtually
off all territory almost as far down as
Drury's landing, from advantages of
river transportation and, inasmuch as
there are no railroads and the wagon
roads are not the best. the develop
ment of the district would be seriously
hampered.
OF course, in whatever they do, the
government engineers will be guided
by reliable data which they have every
facility to secure. They will work to
furnish the best possible conditions
for steamboat navigation in the pres
ent channel and not to create for con-
tractors or for the government fleets,
as some profess to believe. While the
layman is hardly competent to give
the war department any pointers in
carrying out its river improvement
policy, it is possible that IL would be
willing to hear arguments relative to
changes in conditions which served
as a basis for the original determining
of this policy, and certainly it does not
set itself up as the final authority in
deciding the relative commercial i'm
portance Of ports and the way to make
the river of greatest use to the great
est number of people
The people of Andalusia and the
lower end of the county have generally
signed petitions covering the subject
and il is due them and to Rock Islands
interests as well that they be given
all possible backing Therefore it is
up to the proper organizations in this
city to act

MOST SANE FOURTH.

II there is any one thing more than
another in which the American people
excel, it is in their progress toward a
better civilization, and their quickness
to adapt themselves to new conditions;
and this has been demonstrated to a
marked degree in the manner in which
the people are acceding to the safety
first" idea on independence day.
July Fourth, 1914, was probably the
sanest independence day ever cele-
brated in the state of Illinois. Never
theless, reports of six fatalities have
so far been received by the state fire
marshal department. All of these
deaths were of children under thirteen
years of age, and the fatalities were
all caused by having their clothing ig-
nited by fireworks.
Lawrence Butler and John Sullivan
of Chicago, each thirteen years of age,
were fatally burned by exploding fire
works.
Vera Allen of Chicago, eight years
old. was fatally burned by having her
clothing ignited from a sparkler.
Belcher Moore of Gillespie died at
ST. Francis Hospital in that city as the
result of a fireworks explosion which
set her clothing ablaze.
Dorothy Corken OF Peoria, was fat
ally burned when her clothing caught
fire from exploding fire crackers.
Helen Washki of Springfield. eight
years old, died at st. Johns hospital as
a result OF burns received when her
clothing caught fire from an exploding
fire cracker.
In many parts of the state. people de-
string to celebrate Independence day
in a safe and sane manner have dis
carded the old. noise producing can
non cracker and other nerve racking
devices and have adopted. as one of
the substitutes, the tissue paper hot air
balloon.
Reports received by the state fire de-
partment seem to indicate that. from
the standpoint of fire hazard, the toy
balloon Is no Improvement over the fire
cracker and is indeed just as serious a
fire menace.
Many fires in Illinois were caused by
these toys alighting on single roofs,
or stacks OF grain, and much valuable
property was destroyed. In some To-
caiities Il is reported the farmers or
ganized their families into a sort of
emergency fire patrol and kept guard
over the field or standing grain, hay
stacks and farm dwellings. in order to
prevent them from being destroyed by
these wandering pests.
