GARRETT P. SERVES ON LIGHT
WAVES AND STAR MOTIONS
Spectroscope Shows Color of Rays and Hence
Speed Of Heavenly Bodies

1t il evident that that fact may
be made Of some use in scientirlo
investigation.
Now, there is such a permanent
feature associated with light
waves. and there is, in nature, a
way in which the frequency Of
the waves is often quickened.
The first is supplied by what are
called the 'Fraunhofer lines"
which are dark, line-like gaps In
the spectrum, corresponding nor
mally in position with the waves
OF light absorbed by known chem
ical elements existing in the at
mosphere OF the sun or OF a
star. When these elements are
caused to glow in a laboratory
they give off light whose position
in the spectrum corresponds to
that of the black gaps produced
by the absorptiye action OF the
same substances in the solar or
stellar atmosphere.
Standard in Time.
The second requisite, Niz., the
Fastening Of the frequenc.e OF the
light waves, is furnished by the
swift motion Of certain stars
which happen to be travelling al
most directly in our line Of sight.
If the motion is toward US the
whole chain of ight-waves con-
tinually arriving from< such
star may be figured as crowded
ahead by the movement of the
star in the same direction, 30
that waves of every wave length
arrive more frequently than they
would do IL the star from which
they come were motionless, and
this increase of frequency has
the effect Of shifting the whole
series toward the violet end OF
the spectrum.
But this shift would not be APP
parent to us If we had not stand
ard for comparison Of position in
the spectrum. The needed stand
ard is furnished by the normal
spectrum formed In the labora-
tory by the light given off by
incandescent elements OF the
same nature as those found in the
atmosphere OF the sun or star.
When the spectrum of a star that
Is moving rapidly toward the
earth is compared with a spec
trum formed in the laboratory,
its lines are found to be shifted
toward the violet.
The amount Of the shift is pro-
portional to the speed of the star
compared with the speed of light,
the latter being already known
by other means Thus the suec.
troscope may be said to measure
the speed with which the star ID
approaching. II it is receding,
the spectral lines shift toward the
red. and again the amount OF the
shift gives measure OF the
speed of the star compared with
the speed Of light, the direction
of the motion in this case being
away from the observer. But
measurement Of the distance OF
a star is another affair, conducted
in another way.

F"Another valuable feature or
the spectroscope is its ability to
measure the speed OF light, even

plain on the wave theory OF light.
The spectroscope, whether con-

of a attraction grating. spreads
out a ray OF light in such man

colors, arranged side by side in
successive bands which gradually

The Right Man
For Representative

In another part of the paper will
be noticed the announcement OF DR..
F. H. Aldrich as a candidate for Re
preventative from this district. The
gentleman needs no introduction to
the voters of Redwood County at our
hands as he has lived in the district
for long period Of years and having
always been prominent in the affairs
of his own community and county
has an extensive acquaintance.
DIR. Aldrich was born and raised
on a farm, first seeing the light OF
day in a rural district of Rice Coun-
ty, coming to Redwood County in an
emigrant wagon in 1873. He began
education in a log schoolhouse, at
tended Lincoln Grammar School in
Minneapolis and graduated from the
Central High School in the same city.
Later he worked his way through the
University of Illinois Medical Depart
ment in Chicago and received the de-
gree of Doctor of Medicine and Sur
gerry from that University. He has
been news boy, waiter, and street
car conductor in Minneapolis. Also
taught school. Practiced medicine
and surgery in Redwood county twen-
ty-two years, twenty-one of which
have been in Belview. At present he
is, also, extensively interested in
farming in Yellow Medicine and Red
wood counties. And he is one of the
men who can be relied on to do the
proper thing for the interests of the
farmers and he knows what is need
ed for he has given the subject much
study.
DR.. Aldrich is a man of broad
gauge and he is man trained in
everything that is wanted in legis-
lative representative. He is public
man of stateman-like qualities, rather
than a fawning politician, man who
will stand four-square for the inter-
ests of every voter in his district ii
he is elected. He is a fighter from
the bell and he never knows what it
is to quit as long as he believes him
self to be in the right and we can
honestly recommend him to the voters
as the type of man they want in the
State Legislature, for he is both able
and courageous. If the citizenry of
Redwood County want things that
the special interests do not want
them to have, they must have as their
representatives men of the type OF
Aldrich who will be free and indepen-
dent of these special interests.

you can feel assured that doc" will

The district and commonwealth
need his services. He is good tim
Der for the Legislature and we take
pleasure in extending him the courtesy
of our columns for this brief space
He will represent the interest of all

porting Mr.. Clague, the best inter
ests of the people are safeguarded.
Mr.. Clague has for many years been
one of the outstanding statesmen of
Minnesota. He served his district
in the House of Representatives and
in the State Senate. He has had ex-
perience as District Judge. He has
felt the hardships of farmers, for he
himself farms several hundred acres
of Redwood county and adjacent coun-
ty lands. He has shown his worth
to agriculture, regardless of party
lines, during his two terms in Con-
gress, and for these reasons and the
very good reason that he is a man
of mature Judgment, man Of sound
principles, we believe he should be
returned to office.
These things cannot be said of Mr..
Swanjord. Being a fellow townsmen
we should like very much to support
him, but when the welfare Of glorious
America is considered, we must not
let friendship get the better of our
good judgment. Mr.. Swanjord is
thoroughly inexperienced. He has
never served in any public capacity,
other than that of County Attorney,
which position gave him no knowledge
of state or national issues, nor did it
give him any executive training. He
has not been man of permanent con-
victions. He has been buffeted upon
the sea Of doubt, first with one party,
then with another. He has come to
be looked upon as political oppor-
tunist, ready and willing to join any
party or faction that might land him
in public position of trust.
The Herald has always taken the
firm stand that the middle west can
never hone for full recognition in the
halls of Congress until the voters of
the west learn to return faithful SER
wants to office. So long as the custom
of seniority holds forth in Congress,
and it no doubt will always so con-
tinue, the east will prevail because
they send the same men back to Con-
gress year after year, while we in
the middle west have changed our
representatives almost continuously
Frank Clague is now power in
Congress because of his sound judg-
ment and because of his four years
of experience. If we are to benefit
we must return him. The middle
west, the district, the state and the
nation will be the better for our SO
doing.-Murray County Herald.
