other inning in the supreme court.

that language in the grade schools of

the families who signed the petition ask

the puTport of the petition and further
show that from a financial standpoint the
district cannot afford to employ the extra

Meteors as They Fall.

When 4 meteorite enters the earih's
atmosphere it is moving with n yeloc-
ity, of more than twenty miles per sec
ond. The friction of its swift rush
through the air produces tremendous
temperature, and the outer parts of the
meteor are melted off and dissipated in
fiery vapor, but the passage through
the atmosphere is so quickly compet-
cd that the inner portions are not af-
fected, and meteoritcs have been pick
ed up after their fall and found TO be
freezing cold within. Their velocity is
SO rapidly reduced by the resistance Of
the air that when they strike the earth
they usually penetrate only a few feet
at the most into the soil.

SAYS DRINK IS DOING GREAT

said. IN. Bark, the Russian min

tied.
France abolished the sale of abb
sinthe by 10 to 1 majority in a sin

so drastic, but we are armed with
full powers for the defense Of the

then look to a chivalrous country to
