MAKING HILLSIDE

UNSIGHTLY

BILLPOSTERS BUSY AT TAIKOO

In an endeavour to rid the dis- trict of unsightly posters, the police at Shaukiwan are keeping a watch for unauthorled bilipos- ters who have been in the habit of using the face of the hillside op- posite the Taikoo Docks to dig play their placards.

Inspector GA, Stimson, officor in charge of the Shaukiwan. Sta. tion, this morning charged a coolie engaged by On Lok Yuen, before Mr. Wynne-Jones at the Central Police Court, with unlawfully posting and exhibiting adver- tinements upon Crown land with- out the consent of the Inspector General of Police.

The oficer informed His Wor- ship that the face of the hill op- posite the Talkoo Dock Yard gate was nothing but a mass of posters, and the police had been making an effort for the past two months to keep the place clear.

The posters were put up during the night, and last night whilst Sergeant Slater was keeping a special watch he arrested the defendant, who was engaged by On Lok Yuen to post bills adver tising their biscuits.

The defendant was fined $10.

TO ROTARIANS

Some simple experimenta de- monstrating the peculiarities of air when in motion were given at yes. terday's Rotary Club tin at Glou- cester Bullding, by Dr. Reginald F. Clay, D. Sc., former principal of the Northern Polytechnic, North London.

Dr. Clay's first experiment con- cerned a board through which a "As has happened to us in the hole had been made and into which glass tube had been placed.

paper.

Another experiment demonstrat [ing the same principle was shown. and the apparatus used in this in- stance, he said, was a glass tube which had a narrow centre piece, and at the two ends and in the Dec. 13. centre were attached three smal- Bler glass tubes which rested in a 17.00 bowl of water. By blowing at one end it would be noticed that at the tube nearest the mouth-piece 19.40the water would fail a little, while 6923 in the tube in the centre the water Rom.would rise. In the far tube the 1/8 water would niso fall,

Accounting for this. Dr. Clay 8.16 said that when one. blew into the 27% large tube the air travelled at a re- 10gular pace until it came to the re- 10.3/18 stricted part. If the restricted

part was half the size of the end | portion the air would have to travel four times as fast as it did 10.29 in the large portion. As the 108 speed increased the pressure be- came less and so the water rose 1/63/16 in the centre tube. When the air 1/3/16 came to the larger portion of the 30 main tube again the pressure was 3.79% restored and so the water at that -end fell a little. The same prin- ciple applied in the case of the board and paper.
