You see it is this way, you put water
III the palm of your hand and then
swat your hands together this way
(indicating) and it flies in all direc-
tons Now, there are thousands of
planets scattered around and they are
all kept apart by something. There is
air between them and it gets heavier
near the ground. That is what keeps
them apart 1t acts as a cushion, and
when they start toward one another it
shOves them back, just like a cushion
would so that they cannot come to-
gether. You never heard of two of
them running into each other, did
you? Once in awhile we have cyclones.
That is caused by the pressure where
the planets push against the air cush-
ion which makes the air squirt out.

are clapped together If you take a
stick and shake it around among the
planets they wouldn't bump. That
may not seem reasonable to you when

think it over, the more you will be
convinced that it is right. / studied

MISSING MAN |S BELIEVED BEEN
 MURDERED

SEATTLE, Jan. 14. - The police of this city and Mount Vernon are work ing on a peculiar case of disappear ance, which they suspect may prove to be a murder. The man who is missing is Peter Peterson, an employe of the Burns Detective Agency as a Russian interpreter. Peterson was attending to his duties in Seattle when he was lured to his homea at Mt. Vernon by forged telegram. This happened on October 15, and the man has not been see nor heard from since. The police are strongly inclined to the theory that the man was murdered by certain of his fellow countrymen, whom he offended during his work for the detective agency.
