TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1903.
The new bulkhead along the bluff
has been finished for some time. At
present, however, it is of little use as
far as widening the street is concern
ed as it has not been filled in. Why
not complete this work and have the
street graded?
It would be a big improvement. A
petition to the council signed by a
few property owners would draw
out the strength of the opposition, if
there is any.
The Kvening News, yesterday,
printed a cut of the new voting ma
chine to be used in the Fifth ward
this fall. It looks complicated, but
the directions are plain and there
should not be much confusion in using
it.
A society circus was given at Deal,
during the past season and after the
division had been made it was found
that $1,000 had been cleared for the
Monmouth hospital. But Deal and
yerth Amboy are two different places.
The wonderful success of the Inter
State Fair at Trenton this year doubt
less makes the proprietors of the old
1 Waverly fair grounds wish that place
1 was still in operation. It was a popu
lar event in it time, but the cities
j grew all around it, driving the farm
ers further back. After all the fair
^ is just what the farmers choose to
make it.
The evenings are now approneliing
when a club house is wanted where
men of affairs about the city can con
gregate, pass a few hours in diversions
of different kinds or enjoy a quiet
^ chat in some cozy corner. A house
not too large, but one fitted out com
plete is something that is needed in
Perth Amboy. When is it going to
come?
Now the trust company is going to
have a cornerstone laying. Four cor
nerstones all for important edifices, is
no small record for any place. It
denotes the growth of the city.

northern part of Denmark. Pio
neer work in sounding the upper air
with meteorological instruments which
were carried up by kites was done at the
Blue Hill observatory, near Boston, but
that it is a private institution. It is
worthy of note that the greatest alti
tudes yet reached by his method (about
three miles) were attained there. Some
what extended experiments have been
made In the United States, too, under
the direction of the Washington bureau,
and while these may be renewed in the
future, they have hitherto been brief,
temporary and more or less disconnect
ed. At Viborg provision has been made
for more continuous exploration, the
governments of Denmark, Sweden and
France cooperating iu the scheme. Dele
gates of international reputation in
weather science from these countries
met to fix the site and plan other de
tails, says the New York Tribune.
The most important building at the
Station is a tower 33 feet high, mounted
on circular rails, so that it can be ro
tated' easily, and left open on one side.
No matter from which direction the
wind blows, the tower is turned with
this gap to leeward. Thus the opera
tor can sit within, where the windlasses
are, and watch his kites. The latter, of
course, naturally take their lines down

controlled by electric motors, one be
ing held in reserve for immediate use in
case the wire on the other breaks while
In service.
From an account which M. Teisserenr
de Bori, the director, contributes to the
latest number of “The United States
Weather Review,” it appears that sys
tematic work has been carried on since
last August. An effort is made to fiy
the Ivites by night as well as by day. and
the staff is divided into three sections,
one relieving another every eight, hours.
The value of the data obtained is be
lieved to depend largely on the contin
uity of the observations. Hence it is de
sirable to have self-recording barome
ters, thermometers and registers of hu
midity and wind force tell their stories
as often as possible. For this special
service all four types of instruments are
combined in one, and this is placed in
the outermost kite. Usually two or
more kites are sent up tandem, the
greater the number the higher the ele
vation reached. What the meteor
ologists want to study is the situation in
the upper parts of "highs” and “lows"
as these drift over the country, and com
pare it with that at the surface of the
earth at the same moment. Light on the
structure and cause of storms, cold
waves and other phenomena may be thus
obtained, and accuracy of forecasting en
hanced.
The great majority of the ascents have
been to heights of 1.500 to 2,000 meters,
or in the vicinity of a mile; but occa
sionally the kites go up 3,000 to 4,000
(peters. The amount of wire whicU must
be let out depends partly on the eleva
tion of the kites, and partly on the angle
which the string forms with a horizon
tal line. On an average the length of
wire is 50 per cent, greater than the
|k‘ight attained. The duration of each
Bcent is mainly dictated by the strength
l^the wind. As soon as the predeter
mined amount of wire is run out, the
windlass is set, to hauling it in. A fres]/
instrument is substituted for the other
one (the removal of whose records takes
time), and the kites are started up once
more.
In case of breakage, time is required
for repairs; but there is always at least
one extra instrument on hand. The ap
paratus is so adjusted in a basket that
it will not suffer harm, unless it gets
a heavy fall. A letter is attached to
this, offering a reward of seven francs
(about $ 1.40) to the finder for bringing it
back. Then if a kite gets away there i
a chance of recovering the property.
Such luck has been enjoyed even when
kites have drifted over 100 miles from
the station. Once within 24 hours
three instruments. 15 kites and nearly
nine miles of wire were lost in high
winds. The more valuable part of the
apparatus was afterward found.
Worthy of linltntion.
Among the many canine qualities
worthy of imitation, a l.over of tire
“four footed brothers” emphasizes
their contented resignation to the cir
cumstances of life. Dogs, he says, do
not go about trying to do good to
other dogs by urging them to bark in
the same key and bite with the same
tooth as tjiemselves; nor, which is a
merciful provision of nature, do tfiey
become bored by the people with
whom their lot is cast and want to
try a new master every few months.

and make a cheerful best o. it. Over
and again a dog puts his heart before
his outraged stomach and lets his af
fections dominate his indigestion
rather than desert his master for a
better board. Many a master, con
cludes the dog champion, would do
well to emulate in points like these
the meanest of his "little yellow curs.”

BIRD THAT TENDS FLOCK.
Tike Ynkamlk of Swnlli America W hen
Domesticated Becomes a
Useful Servant.
The natives of Venezuela and ad
joining countries on the north side of
the river Amazon often avail them
selves of the services of the native
crane to care of their poultry, and also
use it in the place of a collie or shep
herd dog, to guard and herd their do
mestic animals. This remarkable
bird, which the Indians call yakamik,
is found in a wild state in the great
forests that lie between the northern
coasts of South America and the Ama
zon river, particularly in Venezuela
and British Guiana. The birds never
leave the forests unless shot or cap
tured.
They travel about in flocks of from
100 to 200, in search of the berries,
fruits, an insects upon which they
subsist. Their usual gait is a slow and
stately march, but they enliven them
selves from time to time by leaping up
in the air, executing eccentric and
fancy waltzes, and striking the most
absurd and preposterous attitudes. If
pursued, they endeavor to save them
selves by running, tor their flight is so
weak, according to Sckomburg, that
when they attempt to fly over a body
of water of any considerable width
they are often compelled to drop upon
it and save themselves by swimming.
When alarmed, they utter the pecu
liar cry which has obtained for them
the name of trumpeters. The sound is
something like that produced by a per
son endeavoring to shout the syllables
"tow, tow, tow, tow, tow, tow,” with
his mouth shut, or the doleful noise
made by children on New' Year's day
with their trumpets. The yakamiks
usually deposit their eggs in a hollow
in the ground, often at the foot of a
A nest generally contains ten eggs
of a pale green color. The young birds
follow their mothers as soon as they
are hatched, blit do not lose their
pretty downy covering until several
weeks old. The yakamiks are very
readily tamed and prove valuable ser
vants to the Indians, who domesticate
them, and as they are courageous, and
will protect animals intrusted to their
care at every risk to themselves, even
dogs are obliged to yield to their au
thority.
They may be trusted with the care
of a flock of sheep or domestic fowls,
and every morning will drive the
ducks and poultry to their feeding
places, and carefully collecting any
stragglers, bring them safely home at
night. A yakainik soon learns to know
and obey the voice of his master, fol
lows him when permitted wherever he
goes, and appears delighted at receiv
ing his caresses. It pines at his ab
sence, and welcomes his return, and is
extremely jealous of any rival. Should
any animal attack its master, the ya
kamik in utmost fury attacks it with
wings and beak, driving it away.
It presents itself regularly during
/heals, from which it chases all rto
fnestic animals, and even the negroes
who wait on the table, if it is not well
acquainted with them, and only asks
for a share of the eatables after it has
driven away all who might aspire to a
favorable notice from the family.
TRAVEL THIRD-CLASS.
Repretientiitive* of All ('1h«sok Meet
1'pon Neutral (Srouml on Hiik
lund’s Hallway*.
Nowadays everybody travels third—
that is, if one may be allowed the ex
pression, some of everybody. There is
no class or set of people, unless, of
course, it be royalty, of whom we may
not meet representatives in a third
class railway carriage, says the Lon
don Spectator. Everyone is on a foot
ing of equality; it is perhaps the only
perfectly neutral ground. We believe
theie are some men who if they never
traveled by train would never know by
actual experience anything about those
below them in position. But for this
meeting ground the working classes
would remain for them simolv a nic
ture or a problem. They see a crowd
in the street; they discuss wages or
the housing question; they admire the
toiling figure ol' a farm laborer thrown
into relief by a sunset, and wonder,
from an aesthetic point of view, why
anyone should prefer to live in a slum.
Beyond this they know nothing. With
the appearance of their domestic serv
ants they are, of course, familiar, but
often they know little of their person
alities. Again, there are others—gen
erally women—who make a point of
visiting occasionally at the houses of
poor people; but even in this case they
often remain not much the wiser. Both
hosts and guests are generally shy and
somewhat embarrassed. They talk re
spectively down and up to each other’s
supposed levels, neither are quite
natuYal, and the end of the interview
comes as a relief. But in a train we
are all at our ease, even the poorest
and least educated.
The Lawyer One of Them.
One of the best-known law yers of the
city had a case in court against a man
who kept a cigar store opposite one of the
large hotels. The man had in some way
broken the law. “Do you mean to say,”
asked the lawyer, “that you have made a
living out of that store for one year?’’
“Yes,” replied the man, “gentlemen
come from the hotel early in the morn
ing and ask for 15 and 25-cent cigars. I
hand them out five-centers, and they
don’t know the difference.” “Impossi
ble!” said the lawyer. “Oh, no, it isn’t,”
said the storekeeper, calmly, "I have
done It on you several times.”—Phila

Harry’s mother handed him two
quart jugs.
"Now,” she observed, in a menacing
manner, “take these to Smith, the gro
cer, and tell him to give you a quart of
the best treacle. And if you hurry up,
and are a good boy, your mother will
love you. If not, you'll think you’ve
been in a railway accident.”
"But why,” said the lady visitor, when
the boy had departed, “did you give him
two jugs—one would have been suffi
cient for the treacle?”
“Ma'am,” said the gentle mother,
“you don’t know my Harry. If he has
two jugs lie won't be able to dip his
ringers into the treacle!”
