But. re.nark the skeptical. how does
he know at what distance flashes Of
ma gnesi,l;n powder can he seen: He
knows. as lie knows other details, by
exact experiments and mathematical
calculations based on Them. Briefly.
his experiment consisted Of exploding
given quantity Of flash powder in n
glass tube. from which the air had
been drawn. The exact quantity was
weighed and measured. and the result.
ant flash was observable at. say, two
miles. From this he could figure just
how much would he required tn make
/ light enough on the dark side Of the
moon SO ;hat it could he noted on the
earth with the proper kind of tele-
scope.
Professor Gnd,lard's experiments

the masses would he reduced IL one

nj such II large telescope would. how
ever. limit considerably the possible
number If observers. In all cases,
says Professor Goddard, the ma yniti-
cation should be so low that the entire
lunar disk is in the field of the tele.
scope.
Another factor is presented in the
form IF irinerant meteor>. One Of
these might come in contact with the
rocket AMI an expensive experiment
would I've shattered. Professor God
'lnrl has looked int" the subject If me-
teors and found that the probability
Of collision is negligible. Sir Isaac
Newton estimates that the average dis
lance apart If meteorS Is 30 miles. so
that with the vast areas OF space it Is
fairly safe ~ conclude that n rocket
travelling :..O.WM miles Is not likely
to have IN unpleasant encounter en-
route.
The subject Of meteorS suggests an
other difficulty in connection with the
rocket as means Of observing the
upper strata "f the air. 1t is popn.
iarly known that when meteors strike
the earth they do so with such force.
as to he imhe'l,ied often 16 to 10 feet

Professor Goddard has devoted

 ON MAIN ST. PARKING
30 Minutes Would Be Limit, Accoding to Police
 Recommendations.

The police commission met last evening" and the greater part Of the business consisted of a report from a committee consisting of stephen Robb. Chief William J. Rawlings and Traffic Supervisor Clarence Lamphere regarding the traffic conditions, par ticularly about the center of the city. The report which was referred to the common council, recommends the cutting down of the time limit on Main street to 30 minutes in some places, and the entire eliminating of parking on Main street beween Com mercial and Myrtle streets This Is found necessary on account of the sharp turn at the corner of Myrtle street by the trolley cars, and the fact that it is adjacent to the outlet of Engine Company No. 1 and the Hook and Ladder company of the fire department.
 The parking privileges would be more extensive on side streets such as Washington. Court High street ana ot. CTS adjacent to Main street, and it is the recomm endation of the com mittee that this be confined to one side of these streets.
 The board accepted the resignation of Supernumerary Officer John Sargis, and approved the bills.
