SAYS WAVE THEORY
 IS ALL.INClUSIVE
Captain See Thinks It Tdumphs Over Conflicting Opinions

san Francisco, Feb. 16 LF-The wave of theory for explaining all the forces of nature has triumphed com pletely over previous conflicting theories, says Captain T. J. J. See, professor of mathematics in the Cnited States navy and government astronomer at Mare Island.
 Not only are such actions as magnetism. sravitation and elec- tro-dynamics explainabls as waves in the aether," but even surface ten sion, cohesion. adhesion. capillarity. chemical affinity and explosive forces are shown. he asserts, to be waves and thus the internal mechanism of atoms, electrons and actherons lead to the wave theory Us one Of the final triumphs of science in l92T.'
 Some time ago Captain See an- nounced he had proved his theory that ether is a highly tenuous sub- stance and permeates all space, but has sufficiently elasticity and strength to hold the suns and rianets in their orbits.
 Since Professor Roentgen discoH- cred the N-rays the astronomer says in his present statement, gray tation, magnetism, electrodynamic action, including even molecular, atomic and explosive forces have 9ren definitely traced to waves in the ether.
 As to lightning he declares:
 Tn 1921 I developed a valid mathematical and physical proof that the roundness of all drops Of iiduid points to wave action for the '-eping of drops perfectly round. The perfect sphericity of the rain drop has been mystery over 2,oo0 years, and although physicists had spoken of the lightning as due to the accumulation of electricity on ffle drops in the clouds previous to my researches no one had thought of the electric stress on ihe surface of the drops as due to the energy of the passing waves.
 ''I showed that if the waves come from all directions and travel slower in the liquid than in the air, there will result at the surface Of the drops an aetherial tension which increases when many small drops collect into one big one. Hence the tendency of the aether- tension on the surface of the drops to discharge through the atmos- rhere and this is the secret of lightning"

CITIZENS APATHY
 NATIONAL DANGER
Gova1ors SecrstirJ Dedu6 Ballot Slickds Shouldn't Kick

The chief foe to the principle of life. liberty and the pursuit of hap piness is political indifference, ao- cording to Attorney Edward Kelly, of Bridgeport. secretary to Governor John H. Trumbull. who spoke to tho New Britain Rotary club at the Bur- ritt hotel today on Civic Duties" He opened his address by stating that the expressions, Life, liberty and the pursuit of happines." and Liberty and Freedom" arc heard frequently and in his opinion many times are used carelessly. He said they often are used without regard for their significance, especially as applied to the three anniversaries in February. that of the birth of Lin- coin and Washington and the de- struction of the Maine in Havana harbor. :,, .- He said all wars in which Amer ica has engaged have been for the preservation or establishment of, these principles. even the world war which was to remove the despotism of the middle ages from Europe. "The dangers of peace are worse than the dangers of wal" he de- clared. we should not wait for war, for the foes of life, liberty and the pursuit Of happiness are more dangerous in peace than in war. The chief foe is political indifference. That is q calamity.
 Men get together in groups or in church gatherings or other meetings and discuss existing conditions. They say something ought to be done about it. They rail and rant about political machines and political methods. You often find the man who criticixes most is the fellow who has failed to exercise his rights as 8 citizen. Tt is appalling that less than 50 per cent of the citizens of the great est and strongest country in the world should exercise their right to yote.". Speaking of the political scandals in Pennsylvania and Illinois. he said the investigation revealed the fact that thousands of people in those states know nothing about party caucuses. People will tell you politics is rotten. I want nothing to do with it. Yes, there are some rotten poiiti- clans, there arc rotten lawyers. rot ten doctors rotten men in ell trades and professions. But it ' very simple to remove them. Every citizen can align himself with some group or party and have something to do with tEe framing of the laws.
 "If we don't exercise our privileges and duties as citizen. we have no right to criticize the ballot box"
 In the absence of President A. H. Scott, Rev. William H. Alderson. ice-president, presided. Rev. MT. Alderson introduced to the club. Sig nor Mario Cappelli. . member of the Rotary club of Rome. Italy, and famous tenor. Signor Cappelli sang "The Blind Plowman" and 70 Sole Mio," accompanied by Theron w. Hart.

EDITORIAL
PRESIDENTIAL TRADITION

After all, this American Democ- racy of which We hear so much must be pretty effective.
 Half a century ago two boys were growing up, in poverty, on oppO- site sides of the continent.
 In Oregon an orphan named Herbert Hoover was helping his uncle in a real estate office and facing, apparently. lifetime of hard toll and obscurity.
 In New York another fatherless lad named Alfred Smith was sell- ing papers to help support his widowed mother. The streets were his school; one would have said that his prospects were the dimmest.
 This fall one of these two-Her- bert Hoover or Alfred Smith-will be elected President of the United States. The two boys who had to start making their own way while yet in their teens have reached the top. One or the other of them will within year. occupy the high est place that an American citizen can attain.
 Our Democracy, after all, must be a pretty real thing when that can be true.
 The rise of poor boy to the heights-the old story. From the log cabin to the White House. is one of our most cherished tradi- tions. It symbolizes the equality of opportunity that We have been taught to prize above everything else. And We are justified in so regarding 1t.
 For it is the faith that justifies our works. It is the outward. vis- ible symbol of an inner, spiritual grace. to drop into the old phrase ology of the churchmen. It is a sign that however much injustice and inequality We may have in our country. however much poverty and Encouragement and frustra- tion may rest upon some segment of our population. the way is still open.

Yet while we lean more and more on the mach inc, on the power of finance on far flung bigness of business. industry and politics, by the same token i'm d.vidual ability is becoming more highly prized than ever.

bia River is again a salmon fishing stream of commercial importance. Indeed. the Columbia has 'come back" strong.
 If the fish hatchery is success in Oregon, why could it not be made success in Alaska, the worlds greatest salmon fisheries ground? The Alaska legislative assembly. at it's last session repeal ed the law creating Territorial hatcheries in Alaska. presumably on the ground that the hatcheries in the Territory were not success full. And during the same period of time the Oregon State Fish Com mission was meeting with unex- ampled success in the operation of hatcheries in that State.
 Mir. Kendall, in his recent tour of the southern coast of the Terri tory, told the people of Alaska. in private conversation and through interviews in the newspapers. of the success of the Oregon propagation campaign. through the use of hatcheries. and 1t Is to be hoped
 that Alaska will follow the fine ex- ample of Oregon with respect to the propagation of the salmon, to the end that the Territory's great

WHY NOT FISH HATCHERlES

Kendall is the chairman, has some fourteen fish hatcheries in the common wealth, and they are operating with fine success. fulfilling the purpose for which they were es- tablished, the propagation of sal- mon. Time was when the Colum- bia river was one of the greatest salmon fishing streams in the world. As time passed on, how ever. unrestricted fishing depleted the supply so that the Columbia river almost passed into history as a salmon stream. How this great salmon stream could be restored to it's former productivity was the problem before the Oregon State Fish Commission A close and dil- igent study of the fish hatchery as a means of propagation was made by the fish commission, with the result that this method of propaga- tion was adopted. The sequel of the propagation campaign can be told in a few words: The Colum-
