INTERNATIONAL WEATHER BUREAU IS NOW PROPOSED Different Xntions to Cooperate in Order to Insure the Safety of Ships Wire less Solves Problem. Washington, Nov. 10. Willis L Moore, chief of the weather bureau, is in hopes of seeing the day when every ship of any size that sails the seven seas will be a weather observatory equipped with instruments furnished by the weather bureau of the depart ment of agriculture, and making daily reports of its observations either di rectly to Washington or to some wire less telegraph station that will trans mit them to this city. As a corollary, weather reports, is sued at least daily, would be furnished to every shop having a wireless tele graph equipment. Then the dangers of navigation would be greatly lessen ed, for if a navigator can have twentyfour hours' warning of a storm that is moving in his direction, he can take measures to sail out of the probable track of the disturbance, or, if that is impracticable, take steps to have his ship in such a state of preparation that the danger of wreck is reduced to a miniumu. By the use of wireless telegraphy says Chief Moore, it will be possible to discover where storms originate, if that point of origin is withn the regions in which ships sail in numbers great enough to afford epportunties for re ports. On land and sea there are in struments which measure within few feet of a break in an electric cur rent. It will bossible to figurs al most as closely with respect to d structive storms. Although it cannot be asserted with full knowledge that the assertion true; It nevertheless appeared that the winds obey as definite a law as every other phenomenon of nature Observation is the only method where by an approximation of these laws can be obtained. Mr. Moore made an exposition of his thoughts on the subject at a mieting of old time telegraph operators, deem ing them most worthy to be first to hear vhat he had in mind, because without telegraphy' the weather service of today would not be in existence AMENDMENT FAILS IN RECENT ELECTION Voters Did IVot "Understand Importance of Measure and Only a Small Percent Voted Either for or Aguln.it. While no official report has been mad6 r?sarlinff the fate of the Pro' posed amendment to the constitution, which was supposed to be voted on last Tuesday, lawyers who were interested in the amendment say that it failed for want of enough vVtcs. A majority of all the votes cast in the state wer necessary, to adopt the

amendment. It gave the legislature

authority to say who should be admit ted to the bar. The Indiana Bar association was be hind the amendment. The association has for a long time been in favor of the legislature making the qualifications for lawyers seeking admission to the ar of the state. Members of the association are con vinced that had voters been more familiar with the proposed amendment the result would have been over whelmingly in its favor. Many voters no doubt had never heard of what it was proposed to do. In cases in which attorneys happened to be members of the election boards they suggested to oters that they keep the amendment in mind when they entered the booth. In Marion county only 2,000 voted on the amendment. In order to get this amendment be fore the people again it must have the auction of two general assemblies. In lJi0 an amendment fixing a different time for holding state elections failed because the voters seemed to have no interest in the matter. FRANK FEIFER LOSES A LEG BY BEING RUN OVER BY CAR. Indiana Harbor Trolley Coach Ampu tates Member While Victim is Presumably asleep on Trucks Frank Feifer, 60 years old, was run over by an Indiana Harbor street car last night at 7:30 o'clock, between East Chicago and Indiana Harbor. His left leg was severed from his body. Feifer, who is a laborer, having re ceived his weeks' wages, it is said he proceeded to get on a good drunk. The eneral suposition is that lie laid down on the street car tracks to rest and oing to sleep, failed to see the ap proaching car, as a result he was run over. The street car, which was runlng at a high rate of speed, made it impossible for the motorman to stop the car, al though he put on all the air he had at is command and stopped the car about tnirty yards from the scene of the ac cident.

I am glad to welcome you into the journalistic circle of the Calumet re gion as a powerful additional force for the development and upbuliding of this section. If consistent with your policy I shall be glad to have you put the Calumet Record on your mailing list, and I shall cheerfully reciprocate in kind if not in quantity.

It is with grea sorrow we mourn the death of ovr sister, Anna Lavene, who passed from this life Oct. 31, 1906. In this time of sadness, when the Messenger of Death has passed the guarded doors of our council and again severed a link from the golden chain there comes to us in the beautiful teachings of our order, these words of consolation: "I am the ressurrection and the life; whosoever believeth in jde shall never die." Whereas, we held our deceased sister in loving remembrance for her many sterling traits of character, her honesty, her ministrations to the sick and needy, her true devotion to our ilag and country, ever ready to devote her best energies to any call of the '-ouncil, endeared her to us all. Resolved, That we, as a council, extend to the grief-stricken husband and family in their darkest hour of gloom, and may our Heavenly Father in His great lovtliind up their bleeding hearts and enable them to remember that He is loo wise to err. Resolved, That the charter be draped in mourning for thirty days and that these resolutions be spread on record, a copy sent to the family of our deceased sister and also the daily papers. Res p e c t f u 11 y submitted, ELIZABETH SCOTT, ELIZABETH BARKER, NANCY DAVIS, Hammond. Ind. Committee. English Slost Widely Spoken. The most extensively spoken language 13 Chinese, but as there are so many dialects in the language, and a3 these differ so greatly in the confines of Mongolia and Thibet from those around Peking, it is scarcely correct to Hay that the of2,000,000 Celestials all speak one language. Putting, therefore, China aside, the most spoken languages in the world are aa i follows, in millions: English, 120: German, 70; Russian, C3; Spanish, 44; Portuguese, 32. Selfishness Always Wrong.
