Playing two or more monographs
at a time as a means of increasing
sound volume has often been tried,
but generally with poor success. Only
slight difference in the speeds or
timing the the two disks results in
throwing the melody into a jarring
discord, for one record soon plays far
ahead of the other.
To obviate these difficulties and
still secure the larger volume of
sound resulting from the use of two
or more records at the same time,
Paris inventor has devised a phono-
graph of a type different from the
ordinary kind. All the records are at
tachel to one vertical driving axis,
and because of this mechanical con-
nection, must necessarily remain in
unison throughout the playing of any
given piece. Each disk is provided
with it's own needle and reproducer.
All the sound goes into common
horn by means of suitable connecting
arms properly pivoted at the large
ends. A picture of the machine ap-

paratively simple this apparatus is.
The stabilizer was awarded prize
of $4,000 francs by the French gov
ernment after a series of remarkable
tests in 1914, but the full details have
only recently been given out. With
this apparatus the question of balance
or stability, takes care Of itself, and
the airman is free to devote all his
attention to navigating his machine
The stabilizer is made up of several
distinct machines, among them being
the gyroscopic unit, which might be
called the 'brains" of the apparatus;
an electric generator that is driven
by the engine and drives the gyro-
scopes; wind motor that supplies
the power for warping the wings or
changing the position of the ailerons
under the "direction" of the gyrosco-
pic unit, and an thermometer that sets
the apparatus in action to volplane
the machine when the speed drops to
a dangerously low point. Added to
these is control lever that enables
the airman to navigate the machine
without interference, within safe lin
it's, but prevents him from doing
dangerous things, such as making a
climb at too steep an angle. The
gyroscope is fully described, with a
number of interesting illustrations,

UNION LABOR
 DECLARES FOR
 SENATOR SULZER

At a meeting of the Sulzer Min CTS Union No. 152. w. F M., held June 6. the members of that Union unanimously voted to support Chas. Sulzer. the Democratic nominee for Delegate to Congress from Alaska.
 A letter signed by President rhom' as Fl. Butler and Secretary H. k. Raffleson. of the Union, sent to the secretaries of labor unions through out Alaska says:
 "At a meeting held in our hall on June 9th. 1916. all members being present. motion was made, second ed and unanimously carried to give Senator Charles A. Sulzer of the Alaska Legislature our entire sup port in his campaign for Delegate to Congress.
 "Ar. Sulzer has been resident here for fourteen years. Until the last year he was general manager for the Alaska Industrial Company but since last year he has operated the mines himself as a lessee. Dur ing all these fourteen years he has proved himself a true friend of Un- ionism. good fellow and a friend of labor in general.
 He gave the S.hour day of his own free will in 1902 upon starting operations in Alaska and this was long before anyone else had the same rule in Alaska. He has always paid the highest wages in this dis. trict. given everybody a square deal and treated everybody as man. There is not a man who has ever worked in Senator Sulzer's camp who will not speak of him in the highest terms. and we know from long observation that he has the qualifications to ably represent us in Congress,
 "The foregoing are only a few of the main facts of Mir. Sulzer's charac. ter which have endeared him to the workers. SO we wish you 10 rally to his support and leave no obstacle in the way for 'his election for Delegate to Congress from Alaska"

 COP. CANDIDATES
A hare.lip is misfortune, |but a man with whiskers has only himself to blame. -(Georoe Ade.)


 For the first time in the history of American politics. whiskers will be the paramount issue in presi- dential campaign.
 Reverting to the supposed-to-De obsolete style set by Santa Claus Rip Van Winkle and the Bearded Phophet. the c. O. F. nominees for President and Vice President re- spectively- Charles Evans Hughes and Charles Warren Fairbanks - chosen to hide behind wealth of hirsute adornment
 MT. Hughes affects the feather duster style of beard, while Mir. Fair banks sports the well-known Hoos' fer paint-brush pendant.
 Barbers Are Concerned
 "HOw will the barbers and the vast vote controlled by them take it?" was one of the first questions heard. and to settle this mooted point The Empire secured interviews from a number of leading Juneau tonsorialists.
 "Of course the whisker ticket does not exactly appeal to us said one DtlDtT. Out uoutblA@ N'A''~~'N kers with a man who has weak chin to hide or one who is too stingy to pay for shave. but ! think 1t must be different with Hughes and Fairbanks"
 Force them to shave and some out in the open" was the way an- other put it.
 "Proyiding Hughes and Fairbanks will agree to get their whiskers trimmed at least once a week, | would support them If l was In the States" said another.
 CT never could stand it to vote Tor feather duster and paint brush I'm for trimming Hughes and Fair banks just as would trim their ! whiskers," declared another barber.
 Another tonsorialist said he believ- ed whlskers were a mark of great ness. He recalled five Presidents who wore whiskers-Abraham Lin coln. General Grant. James A. Gar field. Rutherford B. Bayes and Ches- ter A. Arthur.
