the wheat is sent by way of Portland will however make
the growers of the Inland Empire considerable more than
that as the price before this change made 30

MAY HAVE FOUND THE CAUSE OF GRAVITY

Professor j. T. See director of the naval observatory
at Mare Island has discovered thinks he has, the
son of the fuctuaton of the in it's orbit which has
puzzled astronomers time out of mind He regards his
discovery also explaining the cause of gravitation
so he has performed valuable service The fact that all
things fell toward the center of the earth being explain
able in other way called the attraction of gray
taon and the wisest let it go at that There were
and are number of things about gravitation that
never understood and it may be Professor See has hit
upon the solution When the matter of weight is
sdered the books tell that it is the attraction of grav-
taton and the object is heavier than another
accounted for by the unsatsfyng statement that this
was due to density" We have always had notion this
was correct but the density in the understanding of
the wise So far as density" is concerned piece
Of steel or lead is just as dense piece Of gold yet
the latter attracted by gravity in such way make
several times as heavy the steel Copper silver most
of the metals "dense" gold and gold is dense
platinum yet it does not weigh as much In other
words this inexpcabe gravitaton has greater attrac
on for platinum than for gold and varying attraction
for most metals that just dense it. We know
there is such thing for lack of something better
call gravity but what it has been satisfactorily
explained Why is it not possible that some attractive
force such the magnet has for ron for instance is the
of all and this force has attraction for the
ious minerals and other objects in varying proportions?
