How the Spectroscope
HELPS the Astronomer

The operation of the spectroscope is
easily understood by analogy. You list
en- to a well-balanced quartette Of sing
ers; their song comes to the ear as a
complex whole. in which individual parts
are so blended as to seem lost, yet four
distinct sounds Of different pitches are
there, and they could be separately dis
tinguished by suitable apparatus. Even
if the singers themselves were hidden,
much could be discovered about them
from the sounds of their voices alone.
Light is a complex thing also, far
more complex than sound, and the spec
troscope is merely device for separat-
ing it's component parts Just as sounds
of different pitches are due to air vi
brations of different wave-lengths, SO
the blue, green, red. and other spectrum
colors found in the rainbow are due to
ether vibrations Of different wave
lengths. The average sound-wave, as
represented by middle c Of the key
board. has a wave-iength Of about four

the southern championship twice and

.RESCRIPT FROM
HELAW COURT

Motion and exceptions are overfuled
In the York county case of Myrtle e.
Borders VS.. Boston & Maine Railroad by
rescript drawn by Chief Justice Saw
age, which was received Monday at the
office Of the clerk Of courts for Kenne-
bee county. The rescript reads as fol-
lows:
York county. Myrtle E. Borders VS..
Boston & Maine r. R.
Rescript by Savage. C. J.. -
l. When a bill Of exceptions con-
tains no statement whatever of the is
sues and contentious in the case, the
court is not bound to consider the ex-
ceptions. and must not be expected to
do so.
2. When a railroad company main
tains a fiagman at highway crossing
to warn travellers Of approaching trains.
to be absent from his post when a
train approaches is negligence on the
part of the flagman for the consequence
of which the company is liable to a
traveller misled by the absence Of the
flagman. if he himself is in the exer-
else of due care.
3. If a person is suddenly confront
ed by an unexpected peril, and must
choose on the instant between alterna-
tive hazard. it is not necessarily neg
ligence. if he chooses unwisely A mere
error in judgment is not of itself con-
tributory negligence.
4. When one in imminent peril is
compelled to choose instantly between
two hazards. he is not guilty Of con-
tributory negligence if he exercises
that degree Of care that an ordinarily
prudent person might exercise under
the same circumstances.
5. Ordinarily, for one to attempt to
cross railroad track without first
looking and listening for a coming
train is as a matter Of law negligence
per Sc.
6. But, when the fagman usually
stationed at a crossing is absent, the
traveller has right to rely to some
extent upon the absence of the flagman
And in such case for the traveller to
attempt to cross without looking and
is listening is not negligence per Sc.
The question of negligence is then one
of fact
7. In case where the jury might
reasonably find that the traveller knew
that the railroad company kept a flag
man to guard the crossing. that the
traveller saw the flagman 20 feet from
the crossing. giving no signal of warn
| ing. that he listened. but heard no
sound Of bell or whistle, that the only
whistle sounded, if there was any. was
not steam whistle, but an airbrake
whistle. and that there was building
between him and an approaching train
which prevented him from seeing It,
| The jury might properly conclude that
the traveller was not guilty of contrib
utory negligence in going on to the
track without further inspection or
test.
Received Sept. 25, 1915.
