A story, is told of a traveling man
whoso business keeps him away from

times he was at home continuously for
several weeks, snd his neighbors not:ced
the unusual length ot bis visit at his own
house. One of them asked him if be had
got protty well acquainted with bis own
family. "I think I am making an im
pression," be responded. "My little girl
went to her mother the other day and
said : 'That man who comes here some
times spanked me to-day.' "
As usual the rafting flood came this
yearjust about election time, but the
boats and barges that were anchored in

many voters away from home. There
was a great scarcety of men and pilots, so
the boats were coupled up into some rec
ord breaking tloets. The usual number
of boats in a fleet is four, but quite a
number of six-boat fleets wero run from

nine bargos left the river bridge bore on
Saturday. In all there were one hun
dred and nineteen pieces that went down
the river from this placo. Eighty boats

In the case of Virginia Beer vs. Clarion
township, a case which was before arbi
trators last woek and this, an award was
found for the plaintiff in the sum of
000. Tho plaintiff is a well known school
teacher of Liuiestono township. On the
2d day of May, 18!8, Miss Beer started on
her bicycle to rldo to hor home. In
crossing tho Brush Run bridgo in Clar
ion township her wheel went over tho
lowor side of tho bridgo, throwing her a
distance of about ten feet into the bed of
the creek, injuring her severely. Suit
was brought against the township for
negligouco in not maintaining a proper
barrior or guard rail on tho side of the
bridgo from which she fell, The attor
neys in the caso wero J. T. Mall'ett for the
plaintiff and Hindman iC Hoy and A. A.
Geary for tho defendant. The case was
on trial for about four days and created
much interest. Tho plaintiff's counsel
contendod that bicyclosare vehicles rec
ognized by law and aro entitled to the
same protection, citing tho act of 1880 to
show that tho legislature had passed an
act to that ctl'ect. Clarion Democrat.
Miss Beer has taught a u umber of terms
in Forest county and is very favorably
known to many of our readers.

Celestial Fireworks Bay be Seen on
the Night ot November 14.
On the night of November 14, one of
tho grandest spectacles ever offered by
the heavens wi 1 be witnessed in the form
of a great fall of meteorites. 'I he display
will be a repetition of those of 18.' 13 and
1860, wh on astonished and at the same
time enlightened the astronomical world.
From the Uth to the 10th of this month
the earth will pass through the path of a
swarm of mo eors of wonderful extent,
and the heavens will be illuminated by
the light ol millions of lb) se little incan
descent wonders. Scientists say that
very little is known of meteors. The
displays of previous years have only
been noted by visual ohoervalion, and s
a single meteor shed$ light for something
less than a quarter of a second it will
readily be perceived that very little
could be learned of it during so short an
observation.
Astronomers are able now to calculate
within a few hours the actual time of
the earth's entrance into the uiete.rio
swarm, but beyond this astronomical
knowledge is almost blank. The spec
trum of the mete rs is wholy unknown.
Several aborative attempts have been
mado to photograph meteorie spectra,
but they have been uniformly unsuccess
ful. One photograph alone is in exist
ence. That was accideii ally secured by
the staff of the liarva d observatory
when making an exposure for an entirely
different purpose.
This year the observation will b- some
what handicapped by the fact that the
moon will be almost full, but in spite of
this, much .more data will be secured
than upon either of the other two appear
ances ol great meteoric swarms during
tho present century. Tens of thousands
of meteors will full during the display.
The common theory of meteors now
given widest credence among scientific
men is that they are wandering frag
ments of planetary matter hold in a fair
ly regular orbit by tlie sun's attraction.
The swarms which have twice before il
luminated the heavens since the dawn of
tho present century are belioved to have
been connected in some way with Mela's
comet, which was last seen in 1800, and
which is supposed to have been shattered
into almo-t ("finite particles by a collis
ion with some heavenly wanderer.
Regarding the pproaching meteoric
display, Professor William A. Harkness,
w ho is in charge of the astronomical de
partment of the United States Govern
ment Naval Observatory, says :
''We ro unable to predict the exact
hour at which the November meteoric
showers will begin. From the best pres
ent estimates it may be expected that the
sliowers will reach a maximum at la.in.,
on the morning of the 15th ol November.
They will probably begin three or four
hours earlier than this to fail in small
bursts. ') hoy will continue throughout
the morning of the 15th of November,
and will be more er less observable dur
ing the evenings and mornings o' the
I5th, Kith, and 17th of November, al
though on each succeeding day the num
ber of meteors observable will diminish.
"Theso meteors ami meteorites vary in
weigh! from a few giains to many pounds.
They strike the earth's atmosphere at a
height of seventy-four miles and begin to
burn, being entirely consumed when
they aro at a height of fifty miles.
"The phenomenon of a great meteoric
shower is generally a perfectly noiseless
one. When the streak is first formed it
is narrow and perfectly straight, but soon
becomes serpantine, and assumes an Ir
regular figure as it drifts along the influ
ence of tho wind currents of the upper
region of the atinos' hi re. Ti.ese streaks
or tails are of various colors, ow ng part
ly to the composition of thoir elementary
substances and partly to their altitude.
S line are of a delicate green isli hue, while
others light up the skies with a ruddy
glow. Streaks of orange red and white,
with bluish white, co, inning e to form a
most remarkable and beautiful sp etaclo.
Occasionally an orange colored meteor

A paper like this, at fl a year, is furn
Ishei! on a close margin. With p. ices of
material rising along the wholo line the
margin is cut down o very narrow lim
its. We take it that we're giviirg a paper
worth more than its subscription price.
All our materials and laber calls for cash
down. Hence we call irgeutly and con
fidently for tho settlement of subscrip
tion arrearages.
Pro rpt payment will make hold sides
happy and help along a good cause. A
go id paper has a genuine claim for party
and business support. Kegnl r payment
of subscription is a piactical form of sup
port. Yon get your dollar's worth, and
we go the dollar.
