KIXTEEN T H E Aurora Borealis, Poles Are in No W ay Related For a long time the aurora bore alis was an object of complete mys tery, and it has been only in recent years that it has come to be fairly well understood. It was long known that it was not limited to the north ern hemisphere. It appeared with equal frequency and intensity in antarctic regions, where it was known as the aurora australis. Contrary to common belief, states a writer in the Chicago Tribune, jthere is no connection between the aurora and the north or south poles. Instead the centers of auroral ac tivity are the earth’ s two magnetic poles, the centers toward which all magnetic compasses point. One of these is in the extreme north of Canada and the other is in the ant arctic continent. The greatest fre quency of auroras occurs not at these poles but in certain belts en circling them. This fact would in dicate that the earth’s magnetic field is a factor in the case. The relation of terrestrial m ag netism is further shown by the fact that auroral displays are* most spec tacular during the so-called mag netic storms on the earth. These are invisible and inaudible storms that sweep through the earth’ s mag netic field, violently distorting it. At such times the needles of magnetic compasses fluctuate in an erratic manner. That the aurora occurs in the enrth’ s atmosphere and not in out side space has been shown by the spectroscope and by direct observa tion. The light given off has been split up into its individual wave lengths, which have been identified as characteristic emissions of the various gases that make up air. NEW BRIDGE (Continued from Page One) the railroad bridge to the east bank. There will be an underpass at First and Cascade to allow traffic to reach the station. It appears that at the present time this is all of the work that is going to be undertaken. In the future the highway will no doubt be extended up Cascade Street. For a time there was thought of switching the high way over to Columbia, but the cost of cutting through several blocks seems to be of too great expense. It is expected that sometime in the fu ture the State will widen Cascade Street to a width of around 80 feet between property lines. At the present time from Sixth Street east the distance between property lines is 40 feet, and west of Sixth Street 30 feet. This widening of Cascade Avenue is in all probability many years off. The stretch of highway from the In terstate Bridge to Mosier is probably three years off, but the construction Of tlie Hood River Bridge is only a question of months.

He lived many years after in great reputation beloved by all who knew him.” The history of Jamaica is so close ly associated with that of England that links can be found not only in its naval history but in the waves of emigrants, including regicides and Quakers, Huguenots and polit ical prisoners, Spanish captives, re calcitrant preachers and trouble some younger sons, many of whom 100-ft. roll were successful in making large for tunes in this island.
