HOW TO BECOME
SEASICK ON
LAND

Ruth Vivian. who plays Jim Hawkins In
Treasure Island" has become quite a
sailor without going to sea, and strange
though II may seem. nearly became seasick
on dry land This all seems very curious.
but not to any one who has, beheld the scene
in which Jim cuts the good ship Hispaniola
adrlft and climbs into the rigging. pursued
by one Of the pirate crew.
The ship swings and rolls radius OF
thirty feet so the first time Miss Vivian
boarded her and the works we're put into
operation she felt like n person on real
vessel when the wind Is blowing and the
waves are at their height. 1t is interesting
to know that George Vivian. manager OF
the company. IL the inventor Of the patent
process by which the ship is maneuvered
on the stage sea
Never before did a ship roll and jump
on an artificial sea A vessel on the stage
is usually a ridiculous example OF the car
penter's art II comes alongside and makes
few breezy attempts at rising and railing
Then all is still but not so in Treasure
Island" where we have an animated boat
thirty-two feet long which trembles ana
pitches and creaks worse than twenty-six-
knot Channel steamship before the war.
The ship IL mounted on truck running
on casters. on this truck is horizontal
cradle with curved ends to give the boat
fore-and-a aft pitching effect by means or
the levers and the rocker shaft. The play
Of the craft is limited by chains and springs
on this cradle rest at right angles, three
more athwart-ship cradles, which support
the ship. These cradles serve to give the
ship a rolling effect through the attendant
levers
The mechanism and operatives are
masked by sea-green cloths, The entire
effect is unique, so Mr.. Vivian is protecting
himself from having any the copy II by be-
coming a patent owner.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1917-09-05

Much may happen before March, 1918,
and in the interim it will be surprising
if factors do not combine to effect a post
ponement of the execution of Francis
ketchum, convicted of murder in Ben
nington county. If Ketchum goes to his
death in the manner and at the time pre-
scribed by the court he will be the first
person in Vermont to suffer capital pun
ishment in the electric chair. Although
there has been nothing resembling a ref
erendum to public sentiment on the ques-
ton Of capital punishment for some time,
p poll of the people would surely register
q very large number of votes against it,
There are many who believe that Yer
mont should have gone out of the killing
business altogether when hanging was
abandoned. Extended discussion would
bnly lead to the old arguments pro and
ron, arguments which used to have
perennial charm for those interested in
forensic encounters, albeit it can be
truthfully said that Vermont never
gloried in her executions.
