THAT MOVING PUZZLE.

THAT MOVING PUZZLE.
Relative to the question pushing

to be moving in the opposite direc-
tion from the vehicle itself. interest
ing explanations are offered by H.
B. ROSSELL. ]. de CRENY, IRVING,
F. HAND and v. s. SNOW.
Mr.. ROSSELL says: There 10 no
real motion in a moving picture. The
effect of motion 10 produced by the
rapid change OF still pictures. In the
case of a revolving wheel this will
not work. The wheel may appear to
be standing still, turning in the re-
verse direction or oscillating back
wards and forwards. just as the eye
happens to be deceived"
Mr.. HAND says that moving pic
lures are in the vast majority of
cases taken at the rate Of lS per
second, each exposure recording the
action ons-sixteenth OF a second later
than the preceding exposure. 1t is
this which compiieates the melton of

wheel is standing still or moving at
the time Of photography.

Nonpartisans are being "'manufactureed"
throughout, not only the state of North Dako-
ia but throughout the great Northwest at as
rapid a rate as the wheels of the Minneapolis

the aid of subservient interests of various states
affected. The enormosity of the production is
astounding when it is considered that the meth
DDS of operation in the gigantic machine always
were, and still are, intended to squuelch an
economic and political growths-almost be-
fore they were or are conceived. Yet today,
the s]ashing of wheat prices below the level Of.
costs to produce, the maintenance of the high
cost Of living over the country, the continued
hammering to defeat representative government
in the councils of states is surely serving that
purpose-the opposite of what the great monied.

merchants are seeing the light, working men

There is only one reason, opponents of the right,
of individuals to their own opinions, creeds and:
beliefs are forcing their point harder and
tighter, compelling the awakening. The farm
7er wants harmony in all things civic, he wants
to trade in his home town-but he reserves the
right OF man to his own political convictions
he grants his political opponents the right to
their honest beliefs.

VOTE FOR EACH LEAGUE CANDIDATES!

A study of the primary election vote as re-
ported by the state canvassing board throws
into bold and striking relief two phases of the
North Dakota political situation that every
voter, who intends to cast a ballot for the Nom
partisan League ticket, true Americanism and
industrial democracy, should bear in mind at
the election November q. First and foremost,
comes the absolute necessity of placing an x
opposite the name of each candidate endorsed
by the Nonpartisan league, no matter whether
the nominees name appears in the Republican
or Independent columns of the ballot. Secondly,
it is Of prime Importance, also, for league sup
porters to vote NO on all initiated measures that
will appear on the ballot. These proposed laws
were conceived by the Independent Voters AS
ISOLATION for the express purpose Of hamper
ing and blocking the farmer-labor program Of
democracy. (.
