HARNESSING OF TIDES, THE DREAM OF AGES, IS ACHIEVED AT LAST BiKS OP OREGON

That atfes old problem of hames
bIuk the tides of the. ocean to as
sist in the wgrk of mm) nppears
to have, been solved at lam.
The actual generation of elec
tricity for heating, lighting und
driving of industrial units hy util
izing through the operation of a
hydraulic motor, the tremendous
lifting power of the tides, la now
being accomplished at Kant Sau
gus. Mass.
Tht man who has mude this
possible is John A. K no wit on.
friend of the lute Dr. Charles 1.
Kteinmetz, the clerical wizard.
Knowlton was bom in Hock
laud, Me.. July 25, 1ST) 9. He be
gan an intensive study of hydrau
lics 20 years ago. He first de
monstrated the Idea of utilizing
tire lifting power of the tidal wa
ters by producing a working mo
del. Then cunte the struggle to
obtain funds with which to con
struct an experimental plunt
where tests might be made.
Capital fought shy of the prop
osition. Banks refuned to do any
thing at all. In time Knowlton
succeeded In organizing the I'nl
versal Tide Power Co., and the
erection of an experimental plant
was begun at East SauKUS, Mass.,
fjve years ago.
JHKajitrr KM'II Hnrres.
Within tho last six months bo
much more power has been de
veloped , than had been con
sidered a possibility that some
portions of the experimental plant
have been wrecked and rebuilt to
withstand greater strain. On one
occasnion cast Iron gears wero
stripped of their teeth before tire
power should be reduced, and a j
heavy Iron shaft, four inches in !
diameter, was twisted In two. It !
whs necessary to strengthen th :
plant's equipment be tore complet
ing the tests.
Steel pears and steel shafting
replaced weaker metals. Then
j power was transmitted to a newly
I Installed dynamo connected with
an elaborate electric lighting sys
tem, when it was speedily learned
that the load wan far too light
for the , tremendous power de
veloped. It was then discovered
that one or the giant flouts,
I weighted with 400 tons of granite
boulders, had been weakened to
(he extent that - Banter was
I threatened. It was decided to
Utreimthen all the mer-hantsm of
the experimental station before
j attempting to again produce elec
I trie light, heat and power.
The Inventor says he might
'have been thoroughly diHcouraced
j If every disaster had not spelled
j almost unlimited power possessed
'by the tidal water when properly
stored and utilized through the
I operation of a socially designed
hydraulic motor.
Knowlton's hydraulic motor
maV.'ft use of the lifting power of
water one cubic loot of calt water
Leing able to lift t4 nounds. The
mechanical idea Involved is lm
llar to the mechanism that drives
a four-cylinder automobile b
meajis of a gasoline en trine, ex"1"1
that In the latter the power I.;
detdved by the downward stroke
of the piston, forced by explosion,
while the iK now I ton method is
basted on power derived from the
vertical motion of a lun;e float,
or piston, lifted by water. The
larger the float the greater the
power.
The experimental plant has
three main divisions the outer
storage basin; a coffer dam, with
in which are the floats and all
other generating mechanism, and
the spillway Into which the water
emerges ufler having performed
Its work. The floats alternate In
motion as do the pinions of a
gasoline enirtne. Hy mean of
notched racks and units of gears

BRIEFS BEFORE
STATE BOARD ON
STUDY COURSES
(Continued from pag 1
altlfa In two adjacent counties,
with nn difference in their serv
ices to the state excepting that one
of them wlU have a monopofy of
certain technical courses.
"If both Institutions spread out
then over the whole field of activ
ity, instead of adhering to thn lines
of demarcation laid down by the
board of higher curricula in 1!M3,
Instead of having one series of din
lingulxhed rourses covering the
full field of education, wo slmll
havB two parallel series both of
which will be Impaired In effici
ency." He held that the college Is fully
proti-cted by tho 1913 ruling In
giving graduate work In its own
lines, but that the graduate school
Itself with the principal elements
of advanced work, was assigned to
the university.
"It Is In the graduate school
thnt diinltcntion Is most expensive
and the Injury done to tho state
the most severe."
"Our whole contention rests up
on tho ruling that the board has al
ready handed down, nnd In he In
terpretation of which tho college
hits shown a tendency to take an
inch here and an inch there, until
lh effMct begins1 to threaten the
efficiency of higher education in
the state."
Mncl'herson In his Inlk declared
that of the 3(1 proposals made in
the brief of tho University many
are blanket proposals and are not
sufficiently specific to admit of ac
curate answer.
He spoke of lhe university ns
having shown "audacity" in pre
suming to dictate lo the boiird of
higher curricula and "handiiiK down
from Its superior posliion of auth
ority determines as to Jitnt how
much and what sort of learning Is
good for anyone?"
"Second, they wish to eliminate
;the course of Industrial journalism
Hnd change its detdunatton and
function to department of public
ity." If this were done the whole
! list-fulness of the department

bo deprived of thousands of dollars
of free service that can be given
it through no other channel.
"Third, it demands an Improve
ment of thn agricultural college in
all Its cultural values."
He charged the university with
having introduced undergrndtmtH
coui-Hi'S In commerce in duplication
of the work of the college.
"However, when we Haw this we
did not preKumn to dictate to your
htm I'd in t hi ma I h-r until I

1I criticized the coursi in do

'suggested its tuveKtigalion by the
bonru.
The presentation of the univer
sity's position in relation to the
school of music and general dts
ciiMsinn by interested alumni and
friends of either hiKlitufion, were
to occupy the afternoon session.
The board will take the matter
under advisement and announce
Its decision at a future date.

A IIOSS APIECE!
! p
la went Into session here today, H
hail before It the brief of the Uni
versity of Oregon of 57 pages in
which the Issues were raised, and
the brief or the Oregon Agricul
tural College, of 212- pages. In
which the college answered the
charges advanced hy the univer
sity. The college's argument against
the altitude of the university w;iH
that the latter aimed to reduce the
colleue "to the status of a trade
school which na young man or wo-
man of college calibre having c.ilr
Jacily for leadership would care to
'attend."
j The university's brief, as filed
with the board last week, cm
.plained that the ctd.eL-e had ln-.ii-lulled
courses beyond those assii.ii
jed to It by the hoaid including Hi
; offering of courses of u.hiinced
i and semi-grade haractr in fumla
ment;il subjects and by practically
(organizim; a college of basis arts
f under a de;m. It was also cliar.' d
; that file eoliege by establishing
non technical majors had tak n
jthe most impgitaut steps in le-
coining a second state nnUersi:v.
j The college fn Its brief r.ll-d
twlth the board late Saturday, mm-
jclfically denies any intention of
(trying to become a second sia'e
I university but declares that lhi
j courses as developed "are neces
Isary and basic to modern work in
jhiuher technology which Is tho

(College." '
I Replying to the unlvendt. 's

I the brief of the coileue argues that
