Griffin is the connty seat of Spalding conn-

will have at alow estimate between 6 000 and
7,000 people, and they are all of the right

welcome strangers and anxious to secure de¬

The Oscillation of High Structure*.
The oscillation of high structures in storm
winds is a much observed fact, Chimneys
partake of this motion in a degree proportion¬
ate to the stability of their design, and in the
proportion of diameter to height.
Observations of the movement of a chimney
near Marseilles, Franco,'. 113 feet in height
and only 4 feet outside diameter at the top,
showed a maximum oscillation of 20 inches
durlnga severe gale. 104 feet Another high, chimney of good near
Vienna, Austria, pro¬

oscillate 6M inches c the severest storms,

stationary for about twenty minutes;
then the very sea gulls hide away,
