Scientific Exactness.

An instance illustrating the exact
methods now followed In all branches
of science Is furnished by the up
setting Of all the results OF the geo.
detic survey OF Algeria based upon
the station Of VoirOl, which had been
chosen as the point Of origin Of CO.
ordinates. It has been found that,
owing to some subterranean pecu-
liarity affecting the direction Of the
plumb-line, there is a strong devia-
ton from the vertical at Voirol, and
as result new starting point for
the triangulatiOn must be chosen and
new calculations made. The discOv-
cry was made by comparing the as
Economical latitude of the new OBJ
servatory about three miles from
Voirol with Its geodetic latitude as
calculated from the Voirol data.

for the cattle sheep and hogs, for
they are not worth the freight to
ship. Idaho produces high yields Of
fine quality potatoes, and these pota-
toes are being sold at profit.
If all the Gull potatoes in the U. s.
we're fed on the farms potatoes would
now be high priced. In seed grow
ing start with good seed. Plant big
pieces or whole seed, care for the
plants we'll, then rogue out all that
are diseased or weak. Begin rogue
ing as soon as the plants are up, and
continue it throughout the season I'M
til only the best are matured.
In the evening Mr.. Bennett gave,
with the aid Of sterioptican, a num-
Der of views Of homes Of various
styles in different parts Of Idaho,
showing the proper use of vines,
shrubbery, trees, and different var
ieties of flowers. Some Of the latter
were in natural colors. Several
plans were displayed showing the
proper arrangement Of buildings, gar
den, lawn, trees, ETC., for various
kinds and sizes of residence lots in
country towns.
On Thursday Prof. Lewis gave q
talk on Water Systems In the home,

latter case the farmers are likely to

mers think they can save by hiring
a cheap man, and they are likely to
interfere too much in his manage
ment
A cheese factory snn be built and
equipped for about $4,000 and it will
require about 400 COWS within a ra-
dius of five or six miles, or farther
than that if truck is used, to fur
nish milk for it. It is better for each
locality to confine itself to one breed
at first. If the industry becomes di-
versified another breed can be added.
In the afternoon E. r. Bennett,
Field Horticulturist of the University
Of Idaho, spoke on potato raising and
the following is synopsis of his ad-
dress:
The first requisite of successful DO
tato raising is good seed, and this
consists Of potatoes of medium size,
free from disease and which have the
ability Of high production. It pays
to treat seed potatoes ~ kssp them
clean from disease. Cut the seed SO
as to have as little cut surface as
possible. The number Of stems per
plant is determined by the size of the
seed pieces, and the number Of stems
per plant determines the number Of
tubers produced by the plant. Plant
only one or two-fifths of the farm
in potatoes, but plant some acreage
each year. Keep the culls at home

How many fish are In the sea! Are
We catching them too fast? Can we
keep up our Friday diet on other days
and be sure that the taste we are
cultivating will continue to be salts
fed? Nobody seems to know, Will F.,
Thompson Of the California Fish and
Game commission has told the Ameri
can Association for the Advancement
Of Science.
Ir. Thompson thinks we are taking
long chances by not finding out and
wants biologists to get accurate figures
on the subject. We cannot continue
to double the catch every ten years
without reaching the limit some time
and we ought to know the reasons
why many fish come to net one time
and not so many the next. The wealth
or and ocean conditions have ire
mendous effect as well as other natural
changes which have nothing to do
with everlasting. We ought to know
how fast they grow. and where they
go when they are not here.

oED-TlMER IS ENl II
OVER HISTORIC PAGEANT
(By Oldtimer)

Bemidji is getting into a remin-
iscent mood, and wherever you find
a gathering of the ':old timers" they
are bringing up memories of =, the
days that were-the days of Bemid-
ji's birth and growth-when the flair
sex" had only fair representation
here, before Volstead ever thought
of making this country feel like a
herring. Them was the days when
you toted your own victuals into
town and became as prominent a
citizen as any other prominent cit
;izen, the larger the load you could
carry the more prominent you were
as a citizen.
No old inhabitant can look back
to the early days in Bemidji without
noting what a decided change has
taken place since then. Remember
the high wooden sidewalks on Third
street? How the loose boards would
fly up and trip you when you step
ped on them just at the'right angle?
Well, no one would hardly expect to
find many people here now who
could remember back that far. Most
of the early day prominet citizens
have wendell their way, but when
the pageant of Northern Minnesota
is staged at the big fair this year,
those who are here will be given
a real sketch of Bemidji in it's earl
Ter stages, real scenes re-enacted in
realistic manner by some of the
actors who made history here when
they were not acting. To- miss it
will be the regret of your life, the
pageant will be another episode in
the history of this section of the
state.
