SPECIAL MEETING DE ,
BRAND DE HEALTH
A meeting of the Charlottetown
Board oi’ Health called in response to a petition from the residents of Bun- galow St.. (Bridge Road) was held lust night, the full Board, including Water Commissioners McGregor, and McDorlald, being present. The mat- ter of extending the walter system to Bungalow street, which has been ln agitation for years was fully thresh- crl out. The suhjcct was opened by ills Worsllip after which Mrs. Mcln uls, n reside-llt of Bungalow St., was hcurri . She stated that the water in the wells in the vicinity was injurious to health and wus not even ilt for washing -purposes. She submitted a salnplc which wus examined by tho llealth Otllcor and members of thc Board. The unanimous opinion was that thc water was unilt for use and that this portion of thc City should bc conrlcctcd with the Wa-ter System. A gcuoral discussion followed, in which rx Mayor Paton and Mr. A. B. War- burton and all the members of the llollrll took part. _ l
Comnlissiouers McDonald and Mc-
Gregor spoke at some length explain. inl: the law in the case. ‘The ditlleul ty, they pointed out. was that the revenue _from tho proposed efxtgnglou would not pay tho interest on the cost of construction. in such case, takers are required by statute to give ` 'l bond whereby their properties are held liable for the deficiency.
It was pointed out that the Board
of Heait.h. had power to order the in- stallation of the system provided it were necessary to do so in the in- IUPGBCH of the public health. _
After long discussion the following
resolution was moved by Councillor Miller and seconded by Couu. Rafttray,
'That the Water Commissioners he

Interesting Nstronomlcul Work . in Progress ut Greenwich.
GREE-NWICTI, ElNG.- At the an-
nual visltation of the Royal Observa- tory at Greenwich the Astromer Royal presented his report to the Board of \fisit'ors. In spite- of considerable restriction oi’ thc work on account, or the reduction of the staff, tive Junior assistants and 18 cclmputers having joined the forces, special efforts have been marie to maintain all the lincs of observations in which a breach of continuity would be serious.
The error. of the moon's place as
given in the Nautical Almanac was minus 13% seconds of arc, and is in- creasing nearly a second a year. Dr. Ernest Brown's ilmproved lunar tables are to ready sjhortly. Ob- servations with regard to stellar pro- per motions have received special at- tention; these of 12.000 stars in the zone between the North Declination 24 degrees and 32 degrees having been determined. These results con- firm -the accuracy of Kapteyn's for- mula-, giving the distances of stars as afuuction of their magnitude and pro- per lmotlon. ln 1016 a faint star was discov/_ered ‘by Professor Barnard which has the unprecedented motion of 101-3 seconds -pr.-r annum. This proves it. to be the nearest knoivu star in the northern hemisphere, its light taking 61/, years to reach this planet. A num-her of observations and photographs of this star were mallo at Greenwich.
Anothcr interesting dlscovcry is
that -made by Mr. ll-nnes at Johannes- burg that a fuiut star about 2 degrees distant from Alpha Centauri shares the large proper motion oi’ that star, so that there are good grounds for suspecting it to be u distant compa- nion. Slnce Alpha Centauri is the earth's nearest stellar neighbor, this discovery is of special interest. Pairs of photographs of several star ilclds. taken nt intcrvalls of some 15 years, have been sent out to him for study with the Blink lmicroscopc, which is a very cifective methori of detecting stars that have changed lil:-ll pr.-:_l
tions in the interval.

British Export Points Out Three
Courses to Defeat U-Bouts, _
WASI-IiNG’I‘ON.+ Mr. Arthur .l‘.
Pollen, British naval export,_, in an ull- dress in Washington on thc sea prob- lems that confront the United States and thc Allies, said: _
“War is un affair ol' ccmnrunlca-
tions. The United States arc 3.000 miles from the ileld of war. Their' lcommunications lie over the sea and thcsc ,comlmuulcatious cannot, bc called safe to-day. You are raising 1,000,000 men, building 100.000 acroplanes, denying yourselves food to supply the Allies, accumulating vast resources of railway matcriul and coal, hilt, unless you can get your mon to the front with thcil' equipment. cannon, munitions | and ‘loroplanes and deliver to tho Allie.-s t.he raw and finished materials and fond you arc so willing to offer, your intorvcntiou cannot bc effec-
tive.
"The ilrst tack of the war. thc,-n. il-. to 'secure these communications, anal-. this is not an economic or an indus- trial, uor even it shipbuilding -prob- lem. It is a prohlcrn of naval war which will llc settled by iigll-ting methods, by a fighting navy. lt pro- pounlls new problems which will hc

that the defeat of the. submarine is the crux of the war. There are three
