quired the minister continuing fur.
ther. "Are we going to have lawiess-
ness or the enforcement Of the law?"
He called attention to certain evils
arising from the use OF the ballot in
placing men OF Questionable morals In
high places.
Or. Coburn stated he had been In.
formed that the members of the Mt.
Vernon W. 9. T. U. were at work with
a view to demanding an investiga.
ton. They purpose circulating a petit
tion praying the city council to make
an Investigation. DIR. Coburn inform
ed his congregation plainly that IL
such a petition is circulated and is
presented to him he will sign It. Co
ing further he strongly and emphat-
ically urged the members of HIS con-
gregation to sign it. He advised them
to stand strongly and firmly for law

officials be faithful to their duty in
the enforcement Of law -.

While DR.. Coburn was speaking of
the relations Of the council and the
city administration, Of the delicacy Of
the situation touching upon partisan
relations and of the advisability that

Councilman Charles Kiegley stood up

ed the sermon.
Continuing DR.. Coburn said: ANY
body who will besmirch the good
name OF this fair and quiet little city
should be ashamed of himself"
In the latter part Of his sermon DIR.
Coburn commented upon the recent
resignation of Supt. P. C. Zemer as
head of the Mt. Vernon schools. He
declared that so far as he has heard
any one speak this resignation has
been the occasion only for expressions
of sincere regret. Since Supt. Zemer
has felt led. to take this step the only
explanation advanced or reported is
that 1t is due to political pressure DR..
Coburn would not say authoritatively
that this report is true but the report
has been given to him in these terms
by persons whom he believes to be in
position to know. He cited this as
an illustration of how low politics
may be used to force good men out

stand together for the right and to
use the important right of suffrage
to put good men into Office and to
keep them there. The closing pray

Throughout the delivery of the SER
mon the members OF the congregation

Dr. Coburn read as his text Luke

Why the Sky ls Blue and Fish Make
No Noise Going Through IL
Water.

Why is the sky blue3 Not one per-
son In hundred could give satis-
factory answer 10 the question. And
yet the explanation as given by Prof.
w. Ii. Bragg, at the Royal institution,
Is quite simple.
The blue sky. he explained, Is due
to the interception by particles in the
atmosphere of the blue rays which
form part of the White light Of the
sun. The parts of white light con.
yeyed by longer red and yellow light
waves manage to jump the many sub
stances In the atmosphere and are
seen only at sunrise and sunset.
The professor illustrated his mean
Ing by showing a disk Of light on the
screen which. passing through a bowl
Of water, became gradually redder 10
the water got cloudier, till at last,
after an imitation Of the sun In a No
yember fog, IL faded away.
Professor Bragg has also revealed
some of the mysteries of sound. II

of water, 1t sets up little whirlpools
behind It. In the same way, the wind
rushing past trees forms whirlwinds
OH small scale, and these cause
those sounds so admirably described
by the initiative word 'soughlng1
Similar sound are set up by telegraph
wires.
Why Is 1t that fishes make no dis
turbance when swimming through the
water, although there is rushing
noise when a stone is flung In?
This is explained by the fact that
In the latter case, 1t Is the filing Of
the cavity that is made, rather than
the mere impact which causes the
noise. whereas the body OF the fish Is
so shaped that when 1t moves through
the water II leaves no such cavity be

The Effect Of Ease.

Experts say that American women
are taller than they were 40 years
ago and that athletics is responsible.
But only a small proportion of the
women of the country indulge in ath-
letlcs. 1t would be just as easy to
prove that the increase in height is
due to less exercise than formerly.
Surely the broom and the washtub are
as effective muscle producers as the
golf stick and the tennis racket, and
the modern housekeeper does not as q
rule have to work as hard as did her
mother and grandmother.

the color being due to the prevalence
Of a minute bright red plant, a kind OF
seaweed. This plant is said to be so
small that 25,000000 can live and

CELEBRATING THE NEW YEAR
How the Javanese Devote a Week In
June to Observing This
Holiday.

The Javanese New Year starts the
first week In June. The natives take
about a month to prepare for 1t, and
all workers absent themselves from
their regular employment until their
feast days are over. II Is time when
they buy their new clothes (sarongs).
These are gayly eolored CLOTHS, two
yards wide and about yard or yard
and half long, that both men and
women FIX around their waist, cover
ing them to the snkles. The men
wear white coats and the women
white or colored jackets. To get the
new clothes. the servants usually ask
for a loan from their employers which
takes months TO pay back. Then they
decorate their kampon. or district,
with gayly colored paper and lights.
these usually being made of oil in lit
tie cans fixed on the ratings made Of
bamboo sticks
The native does pot drink intoxI-
cants, so does not get drunk on h0ll-
days. but he must have an outlet for
his happiness and he finds It in fire.
works. Then the dancing girl is an
other source Of entertainment. While
she sings she sways her body to and
fro, accompanied by drums and other
strNnge instruments. To them it is
soul music and they revel in it.
The festivities last usually week,
then when salary and loan is spent,
they come back to their work. says
Mrs. Major Morrison Of the Salvation
Army in describing, in the War Cry,
a celebration which she witnessed
this year.
