Paid Salt Lake City, Utah Permit No. 589 PUBLISHED IN SUGARHOUSE Vol.5 SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, MAIL EDITION FRIDAY, BRIDGE Static is the oldest kind of elec- New York Times. Our word electricity" comes from the Greek electron," meaning amber. Rub 'amber, as the Greeks did, and it becomes electrically charged. Then touch it and the charge is drawn oil in a little spark. So with dry fur, glass, resin, wax, scores of materials. Two positively electrified or two negatively electrified bodies repel each other. But positives hhd negatives attract. Franklin gave us this distinction between positive and negative. Static electricity is like water on a rubber ball in that it clings to the surface. Just as a rubber ball can gather only so much water, so a ball of glass or resin can collect only so much static electricity. If more electricity accumulates than the surface can hold, there is what the physicists call a brush discharge, meaning a leaking away into the air. If the excess is great, the leaking may manifest itself in a visible glow. Until Volta in 1800 invented the cell which we use in our batteries the only kind of electricity that science knew was static. Out of Voltas cell came not Just one burst of electricity but a steady stream. After that science began to talk of dynamic or continuously flowing electricity. When at last the electric generator followed Faraday's discovery of induction it was naturally called a dynamo short for dyna-- . mo electric machine." First Timepieces Used Heavy Weights on Cords The earliest ' timepieces were clocks for which the motive power was supplied by weights. The unavoidable dangling of the weights from their cords compelled the limitation of the use of timepieces at first to standing or hanging in one place. This was the situation from about the year 1300 until about 1500, according to a writer in the Washington Post, when the first portable timepieces were made possible by an invention of Peter Henlein. of Nuremberg, Germany, who first applied spiral steel springs to take the place of .weights for motive power. The value of this invention to mankind is incalculable. At first mainsprings were made comparatively short and thick. In these there was so great a difference between the power when fully wound and partly run down that special mechanical devices had to be used to equalize the power. The best of these devices was the fusee, which is used in marine chronometers. But for watches the problem of improving the uniformity of power was solved by using longer and thinner mainsprings, helped out also by the development of isochro- -' nal adjustment, which makes it less imperative that the extent of vibrations of the balance shall be uniform, as these are affected by the motive power. Alaska lias Odd Geese A race of wild geese reside in the coastal region cf British Columbia and southeastern Alaska. They are similar in general appearance and size to their better known relative, the Canada goose or honker," but differ in being very much darker. They are known &s d the goose. Apart from the difference in coloration between these two races of geese there are differences in habit also, the most important being that of migration.

Road Committee Open Forum Scheduled For November 4th Reports Progress - Use of Word "Tips" As long ago as 1775 English waiters looked forward to liberal tips and customers grumbled about the practice. Exactly how old tipping is is doubtful, but in the days of Chaucer the English had a verb to tip," meaning to give. Thats probably where the word comes from, says the Washington Post, but there has been a more interesting origin suggested. This story has it that once there were boxes in coffee houses to receive contributions for waiters. These boxes were labeled To Insure Prompt Service," or, sometimes, just T. I. P. S.
