IJooatera Oppo Annexation.
According to tno ecntlment expressed
last night at the banquet of the r-outh
Omaha liuoster club the annexation
movement will be beaten at the pol.a nexi
Tuesday.
More than BOO banqueters sat down to
the flower-decked tables In tho exchange
dining room last night, and while they
discussed the toothsome viands provided
by the committee, Franek's orchastra, led
by the president of the city council, dis
coursed sweet melodies.
John Kennedy was toastmaster, and
after a few words of welcome by Mayor
Tralnor, Introduced J. M. Tanner, the
speaker of the evening.
Tanner took for his theme the meanlnz
of the word "booster," which ho charac
terised as expressing all the good wishes
that one man could have for another.
The speaker declared that If annexation
meant that South Omaha would be whit
ened In the embrace of Omaha he pre
ferred that the town should remain a
"chocolate-colored brown." lie spoke of
the fellowship of tho city and concluded
with a poem significant of fraternity and
nelghborllness.
After a number of speakers had ex
pressed themselves on the subject of an
nexation with more or less fervor the
meeting adjourned in a tumult of well
wishes for the Booster club.
SlernerUU Hold Meeting;.
While the Booster club was holding Its
banquet the annexationists were assem
bled In considerable force at their head
quarters in the Ilannon block.
The chief feature of the meeting was a
resolution calling on County Attorney
English to Institute proceedings at once
against certain police officers alleged to
have held up citizens and robbed them.
The annexationists claim to have on
record sworn testimony that Implicates
certain officers of the police department.

noon at the South Omaha hospital follow
ing an operation performed on her right
leg Tuesday.
Mrs.. Plvonka last July accidentally

pain about tho Injured member and the
doctors after an examination decided that
tuberculosis of the bone had developed.

ALL DRUGGIST
11-4S
Tick, tick, goes your eight-day clock,
and between the two ticks a second of
time ha elapsed
It Isn't long, Is It? Yet, In that Drier
interval your thumb nail has grown
two on.-bl Ulonths of a lard and a ray
of light has travelled S28.0J8.800 yards on
Its Journey from the sun to the earth.
Between these two extremes of speed
11 the efforts of man to traverse land,
water' and air faster and faster.
The most recent of human Inventions
calculated to annihilate space and com
pel a new adjustment of time values,
Is the English-built motor boat Maple
Leaf III., which arrived In this country
on the Baltic two weeks ago. The tiny
craft Is oredlted with having travelled
at a rate of fifty-seven miles In an hour,
a speed greater than has ever before
been attained by a vessel designed to go
through water.
A few hundred years ago man was Just
as keen in Ills pursuit of speed as he Is
today. Then, however, he was quite
content with such swiftness as he could
reasonably expect his one pair of legs
to give him. The highest reward for
great speed In those days was usually a
leafy crown.
Htnce then man has gone ahead In his
search for speed, first breeding his four
legged friend, the horse, sometimes with
and sometimes without the aid of the
bookmakers' association; then harness
ing the power generated from a kettle of
bollliig water, afterward using gasoline
Instead of water in his engine, then
chaining the lightning and finally fitting
himself out with a pair of artificial wings
and taking to the air. And his reward
today, even thiugh not so well suited as
laurel leaves for the purpose of head
wear, Is a trifle more material than it
waa in the older days.
Speed Over Land.
Remarkable as is the time record
oredlted to the Maple Laf III., it is In
watsr travel that man seems to have
made the slowest progress. Overland he
has travelled more than twice as fust as
ho has on water. In the air, recent as
are his efforts to master that element,
ho has achieved almost as great speed
as he has on the surface of the land.
Man never has and never will devise a
means of darting through space at a rate
that will permit him even to approximate
many of nature's own foroes. But those
elements that he cannot rival he does
at least harness and bring virtually be
neatli his own control.
It was a painstuklng French statist!
ciun who estimated the speed per seoond
of the rays of light. From the same
source electricity U credited with a speed
of 301,523.160 yards a second, making It
in point of swiftness second. And elec
tricity Is one of nature's most powerful
forces that man has subjected almost
completely to his needs
(Sound the Frenchman of figures found
to be a Ittfgard. No matter whether
traveling on flrt or second speed, sound
waves never exceeded a speed of &J6
yards a second.
Huch deliberation is at times a decided
hardship. For instance, man has suc
ceeded in Imprisoning within the breech
of his great si t guns forces that when
released are sufficient to send a pro
Jectile through the air at a rat of 7S
yards a seoond.
swift Movlusf Things.
With th sound of tho discharge of the
gun arriving at th target more than
three, seconds after th projectile, the
opportunity for successful dodging Is not
fc-reat.
From th security of an underground
cellar the same statistician was able to
calculate the speed of a fine, booming,
young cyclone across th plains of the
westurn United States at 65 yard a
second.
Of such are the swiftest-moving things
in the world. There are other manifes
tation of nature more dilberata In their
movements and compared with which the
Inventions of man travel at dinxy speed.
For instance, the bamboo tre grows
twenty-seven ten-mllllonths of a yard a
second and a human hair grows thirteen
one-niilllonths of a yard In the same
period of time.
There is Infinitely less difference when
the speed of the modern tallrond train is
compared with that of a snail. A stop-
watch held on the latter when covering
a measured course ot ono yard gave
Its speed as exactly ten minutes.
As a walker man is several thousand
times faster than a snail, though he is
some 72,')00.(iOO times slower than a ray
of light. The world's record for walking
Is held by O. II. Goukllng. who covered
one mile in six minutes uml twenty-nine
seconds. In making that record UouUllng
was obliged to cover a trifle loss than
four and one-half yards each second. Uut
a mile In fifteen minutes is good uverage
walking. Man can run a bit faster than
he can walk. Tommy C'onneff some
twenty years ago ran a mlla In four
minutes, fifteon and three-fifths seconds,
and his record has never been equalled.
Itrcord In printing'.
Over shorter distances man can run
still more rapidly. Although barred by
a technicality from having his name on
the official record books Arthur Duffy
could undoubtedly sprint faster than any
man who has yet lived. Duffy ran on I
hundred yards on more than one occa
sion In eight and three-fifths seconds,
and it Is more than probable that he
even clipped that figure by one-fifth of
a second.
Almost as far back as tho days of Con
neff, Timothy Donoghuo strapped a pair
of lee skates to his feet and glided over
a mile of Ice in two minutes, twelve and
three-fifths seconds.
Rightfully deserving mention In any
written record of speed is th racehorse
Bulvatnr, alBO belonging to tho dayB of
a generation back. That marvelous ani
mal ran u mile with a man on his bank
In one minute, 3fi and one-half seconds.
And his record, too, has never been
equalled.
Bo much for ppeed unaided by mechani
cal contrivances.
It was not until man learned to har
ness the great forces of nature that he
was able to shoot himself through space
at a steadily Increasing rate of speed.
To the automobile, one of man's latest
playthings, belong the premier honors for
speed. Ilurnian, driving a motor car
propelled by a gasoline-fed engine, cov
ered a mile in twenty-four and four
tenths seconds. Thun which no man has
ver traveled faster.
Railroad face.
A close second comes the steam railroad
engine. In March, ltfOU an engine on the
Plant line in Florida, drawing a short,
light train, went from Fleming to Jack
son, a distance of five minutes In two
minutes thirty seconds. Had that pac
been maintained for one hour the train
would have covered 1J0 miles. Bine th
day he first persuaded th alTto bear th
burden of his weight man has traveled
rapidly when In that element; he has had
to or fall. To go a mile a minute In the
air Is a regular occurrence. Of greater
speed there ar but few instances.
Bo far as Is known the fastest Tight
that has yet been mado through the air
was accompanied by Lieutenant Fequant,
a daring French aviator, who was timed
on one flight at the rate of, 100 7-10 miles
an hour.
On the water man has been obliged to
travel comparatively slower. Tho Maple
Leaf III, with Its accredited speed of
fifty-seven miles an hour Is by far the
fastest craft ever designed. It Is, In fact,
from twelve to fifteen miles an hour
greater speed than has ever been claimed
for other vessels.
Next In point of speed to the Maple
Leaf III. and first in point of utility is
the torpedo boat destroyer Fluaser of the
United SUtes navy. Capable of carrying
a considerable crew and of navigating
almost any water, two qualities not
present In the Maple Iaf, the Flusser
has been sent rushing through the water
at the rat of thirty-five' miles an hour.
I'erhaps the most remarkable maritime
achievement of man is the steamship
Mauretanla: 790 feet long, capable of
carrying betwen 8,000 and 4.000 souls, with
food and fuel sufficient for a city in lis
hold. This giantess of the seas has
spanned the ocean from Queenstown to
New York In five days ten hour and
four minutes.
