viz. that the force OF grsvitation
aries inyersely with the square of
the distance from the centre OF at

diameter (the distance of its surface
from Its centre), is about eleven
times as great as the earths. and
the square OF this Is I21; conse-
quently. while Jupiter'H attraction.
owing to its greater mass. is $50
times the eRrth's. vet most of this
advantage is lost through the
greater distance OF Jupiter's sur

US we have adopted) would he 33O

As the colors were thrown to the breeze a burst of applause that lasted for several minutes was heard and all heads were barred in respect to ''Old Glory. The chief speaker of the afternoon was Thomas U. Spellacy, United States district attorney, and his words were listened to with in- terest by the assembled throng. Mayor George A.

 There appeared in an article in the issue of the Herald May 7th by c. M. Jarvis these words someone has blundered'' but I was unable at that time to determine who that one was.
 think in the minds of the citi- zens of the town of Berlin there was no question who that one was and by the article issued in the Herald May 1 1th, signed R. M. Griswold, he seems to acknowledge. that it was not the first selectman who blundered which is the opinion of the people here in
