TO BESET AT NAUGHT
©UTLER,.Pa., Dec. 10—Rev. Phillip
Shredanovich, pastor of the Greek Or
thodox Church here and editor of
Justness, yesterday announced a dis
covery which If It works out. will put
Newton. Franklin anil' Edison far In
the rear. The pastor-editor declares
he has invented a means by wXlch thp
rotation of the earth on Its axis may
be taken advantage of In travel, and
that by standing still one may go
round the world In twonty-four hours.
He has found a way. Rev. Shredan
ovich says, <by* which men may lift
themselves aboyo the earth to a point
where they will stand atlll while the
earth, rotating from west to east, will
do their traveling for them. '
The secret is Jealously guarded by
the pastor and his wife, whom he
credits with suggesting tho idea.
Rev. 8hredanovirh Mid: "We will
hoist ourselves above the earth and
await the coming of the desired place,
then we will lower ourselves where
wo desire to be. In this way we may
go from America to Europe In less
than twelve hours, J4y secret Is how
to stand supor earth and not be trail
ed by the earth’s attraction.’’

when tho city of her birth, her child

her sunset years, has increased Its pop

Mrs. Butts, who Is one of the sweetest
and dearest of old ladles, tuts seen Mn-

scenes that made It a big, growing and
prosperous city nut of a small village.
She has known Its people—saw them as

their allotted three-score und ten, and

and being able to still look out on the

She has seen the streets of tho. city

the subject. Indicating at the same time
the tremendous pressure upon his time
since ha had been In Washington, as the
reason. When the suggestion whs
made that the senate would undoubtedly
have something to do with the tariff bill
after the house had passed It, he re
