SCIENTIST MAY MEASURE
SPEED OF LIGHT BEAMS

SAN FRANCISCO, August 10
Whether light travels at exactly its
estimated speed is matter that DR..
A. A. Nicholson winner of the
Nobel prize for physics in 1907, is
endeavoring to determine by a Sc
ries of experiments.
The computed rate is 10000
miles a second, and scientists have
used this figure in proportioning
their light year, the yard-stick of the
universe.
DR.. Nicholson recently announc-
ed that he suspected light travels a
bit faster than $4,000 miles a sec
ond or possibly a little slower. He
hazarded the guess that the physi
cists were about 20 miles off in
their reckoning, one way or the 9TH
er. He said that for month he
would try, with the aid of govern
ment engineers, to time light rays
flashed from Mount Wilson TO
Mount San Antonio. distance of
"a miles, in southern California.
Special instruments were installed
for the test. 1t was planned to re-
fleet the rays back to their starting
point by means of mirrors. The
problem was to clock their passage
over the round trip of SO miles.

adding that men must be selected

though he did not specify whica
bills would be nullified Governor
Walker has indicated that he would
veto all senate amendments to APP
preparation bills that he deemed I'M
constitutional on the grounds that
the amendments were concur
red in by the house with less than

Another contention that the amend

to permit the railway mail employees
to receive a living wage at Ameri-
