November 18 The fact that Miss Addle Hicks was not elected school commissioner in Nassau County, is not going to dampen the ardor of those club women who If they could not vote, could and did work for the candidate of their own sex.

Nearly all of these women are convinced that had women been allowed to vote, Miss Hicks would have made a much better showing than she did. even If she had not been elected. It is likely that the outcome will be a strong effort on the part of women interested in public affairs, to induce their fellow women to avail themselves of the one right given them to vote, and by electing women to office as school trustees, pave the way to higher public honors. There have been several Important club gatherings this week. Patchogue Sorosis opened tho ball with Its "men's night" on Monday evening.

The programme was of dramatic and musical events. There were cards for the older folks, and dancing for the young people and quite a crowd gathered.

S. Eagle nffico. FOB AN OCEAN" BOARD WALK. An Old Project Bevived for Rockaway Beach. Rockaway Beach, L.

November 18 The movement has been revived for the construction of a board walk extending about five miles along the ocean front from Rockaway Park to Edgemere. The project is not new and but little active interest has been taken in it. Now several of the largest property owners here and In Arverne have come together and have promised to give the necessary land, if the project bids fair to be carried dut. The plan is to build a walk about 30 feet wide on a steel foundation similar to the famous Atlantic City (N. board walk.

Several property owners visited Atlantic City recently to Inspect the walk there and to obtain information. The beach here has only about a half mile of board walk, but at Arverne thero is a walk the entire length of the village. This walk has been an attraction. With the construction the proposed walk Teal estate values will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced. The Arverne by the Sea Association has taken action In the matter and the local Property Owners' Association will probably do so at its next meeting.

Astronomers the Guests of Charles A. Post at His Bayport Observatory. SOME LEONIDS PHOTOGRAPHED. An Amateur Astronomer's Novel and Original Contrivance for the Study of Celestial Bodies.

(Special to the Eagle.) Bayport. L. November 18 One of the most complete astronomical observatories in the United States is that of Charles A. Post at the latter's country seat on Ocean avenue, in this village. Few Long Islanders have known that such a complete and valuable collection on astronomy was within reach until the excitement this week over tha Leonid meteoric shower revealed the fact.

During the entire week Mr. Post has had as his guests Professor Reese of Columbia University and Mr. Mooro of Harvard College. Every night the trio has been carefully scrutinizing the heavens in Bearch of the mo C. A.

Post's Bayport Observatory. (Root Closed.) teors due from Leonid, but only on Thursday morning were they enabled to obtain anything of practical value. Monday night, although the sky was clear, no meteors were seen. Tuesday night a Bnow storm prevented any observations whatever. Wednesday night the storm again interfered but about 1:30 Thursday morning the sky cleared.

Shortly after 2 o'clock, Professor Reese and his friends began to work. Between that hour and 6 in the morning, fifty nine meteors were seen. Of the fifty nine. Professor Reese says one or two were of the second magnitude and one was C. A.

Post's Bayport Observatory. (Hoot Open.) of the first magnitude. There were no explo sions and no denotations, and no accompanying shower. The atmosphere was hazy, but at times there appeared a milky way with faint flashes of light as if from meteors. Several photographs were taken, however, and Professor Reese believes that tho pictures will show trails of several ot the group of meteors seen.

One or two, the professor said, left trails, but no really good bright meteors appeared. The plates will he developed as soon as possible. As the Ib'th was said to be the date of the greatest shower of meteors it is believed that the Post collection of photographs will prove at least equal to the best of those obtained in other sections of the world. When asked, as to tbe probable success of the. sighting of tho meteoric shower, nnd whether It had gone by.

Professor Reese said it depended a great deal on the reports to be received from the other sections of the world. Among the lenses ueed at the Post Observatory Is a Willard. similar to the one used by Professor Barnard at the Yerkes Observatory; a Voyghtlander of short focus, about nine inches, and an Anthouy lens. A portrait lens and five cameras were employed. The observations were continued until to day.

Mrs. Post assisted the astronomers in their work. Mr. and Mrs. Post have been residents of Bayport for several years.

Their sons are Assemblyman Regis H. Post and W. K. Post, president of the Suffolk County Volunteer Firemen's Association. A number of people at Patchogue and Bay port, who stayed up Wednesday night, saw several meteors, and even as late as 6 o'clock Thursday the meteors were seen with the naked eye darting through the sky.

The Post Observatory is what Is known as a balanced roof telescope building. It Is twenty feet long and sixteen feet wide, and the roof is peaked and so built as to open out Into four quarters, hinged nt the eaves, to take in the four quadrants. It is the only one so far known that opens Into four sections. At each corner of the building and protruding from the outer edge are boards weighted with sand, several feet from the edge of the eaves, to counter poiBe the weight of the loof. As described by Mr.

Post, the use of the weightB "is to prevent tho severe strain which a roof of Huch a size would suffer when lifted by one end only." The strain is further taken up by wire rope braces to an outer stake. Iron rods at right angles are pet to tho counterpoise boxes, on each of which slides an Iron weight, which is held in place by a set screw. The object of these weights Is to adjust the centers of gravity of each section. Each of the four sections is opened by a cord from the Inside and Is ea dly handled. A slight pull on the cord causes the roof to close, and the automatic clutch fastens the four sections of the roof together.

Any one of tho four sections may be used i ne uiaienui useu in tne construction or tho building is half Inch pine, over which It a canvas cover, painted a dull red. A lip of zinc attached on one side only, bent to the pitch of the roof, covers tho joint at the ridge. Two small shutters cover the junction of the four sections, at which the telescope is lo i cated. The building Is absolutely watertight, i and since It was built in 1891, has stood the test of all kinds of weather. A small corru I gated iron dome.

12 feet In diameter, la also used. Mr. Post says the roof can be handled with ease by a child, tho protection from the air In about equal to a dome, while the ex tended view of the sky and the freedom from currents of hot and cold air are great advan tages. Tho prlorty ot Invention of this sort of buiIalnc belongs to Mr. Post, and he has tained During the Past Six Years.

A SINGLE DISTRICT NEXT YEAR. Some Interesting Statistics of tha Building, Attendance, Teachers and Progress of the Schools. (Special to the Eagle). Glen Cove, L. 1..

November 18 On January nexL lne bools of Nassau County, whfcU are at present divided into two commissioner districts, will be consolidated and School Commissioner James S. Cooley, M. Willi have the supervision of the entire county. Under the administration of School Commit sloners Cooley and Peck, the schools havo been brought up to a high standard of excellence, the advance made In certain lines during the past six years being marked. In 1893 the schools of the county were valued at $206, 785, and for the year ended laBt July the valuation was an increase of $278,770, which is accounted for bv the number of new school buildings which have been erected at pialnvlew, Port Washington and Lynbrook.

The school building at Great Neck Is belni einir rebuilt and enlarged, and a new building Is to bo erected at Oyster Bay. plans for whlcli have been adopted, and work on which is soon to be beun. These buildings are all commodious and of attractive design. Th heating and ventilating' apparatus are thd most approved and all of the Interior furnishings are of a superior character. During the past six years twenty three nQw school houses have been erected, four in Town of Xorth Hempstead, twelve in the Town of Hempstead and eight In the Town of Oyster Bay.

The districts in which these buildings have been constructed are: We6t bury Station, Roslyn, Port Washington, East Meadow, FYeeport, Oceanside, Woodmera, Lawrence, East Rockaway, LynbrooK. Ruckvilie Center, Floral Park. Valley Stream, i or a Spring Harbor, oodbury, Hicksvllle, Manet to Hill and Bedelltown. Extensive additions have also been made to the schools in Flower Hill.

Great iSeck. Hyde l'ark. Hempstead Village, Unlondale, Smlthvllle South, Norwood, Valley Stream North, Munson, Cedar Swamp, Broo'k vllle. Syosset, Jericho, Plain Edge, Bethpage and Farmingdale. There are u'J school districts in the county 11 In the town of North Hempstead, 24 in the town of Oyster Bay and 21 in the town of Hempstead.

Of this number 23 are union free schools, 3 special, organized under an act, and 33 common schools. A total of 249 teachers Is employed, 35 of whom are men and 214 women. Of these 7 are state or college graduates, 169 have normal diplomas, 2." first grade certificates, 32 second grade, 1 third grade and 15 special certificates. Eleven schools have been admitted as regents' schools, including the Side High School of Rockvilie Center, Gln Cove Union School, Friends' Academy, Locust Valley; Oyster Bay Union School, Lawrence High School, Freeport Union School, Hcmpsteau High School, Sea Cliff Union School, Great Neck Union School. Lynbrook Union School and Baldwins Union School.

The number of children of school age, 6 to IS years. In the county, is 12,525, of whom 2.49S are in the town of North Hempstead, C.0SS in tho town of Hempntend and 3,939 In tho town of Oyster Bay. The number of pupils enrolled in tho public schools during tho year was U.224. the percentage of enrollment In the several towns being: North Hempstead. 73.4; Hempstead.

73.3; Oyster Bay, 74, making an average of 73.0 for tho county. The aggregate number of days' attendance for the year was 1.194,900. The average attendance was C.401. the percentage ot attendance In the several towns being: North Hempstead, 55.2; Hempstead. 70.4; Oyster Bay.

70.5; average, 69.4. The percentage of attendance for the year ending July 31. 1893, was: North Hempstead, 49.2; Hempstead. 57.4; Oyster Bay, 4S.4; average for th county. 52.7.

This Is an average Increase In six years of 16.7 per cent. The average number of days schooling received by each pupil enrolled during the year was The average number of days schooling received by each pupil enrolled during 1S93 was 112. From this It will bo seen that every child attending the public schools of Nassau County last year received on an average eighteen days more schooling than those residing in the same territory six years ago. When It Is remoinberod that the average number of days' schooling received by each pupil Is only 130 out of the 365 days In the year, tho full significance of this Increase la realized. There has been a gain of 63 in tho number or teachers employed during tho past six years 12 in the town of North Hempstead.

36 In Hempstead and 15 In Oyster Bay. Th amount paid for teachers' salaries during th year was $117,180, an increase of $32,975 ove 1893. ECHO. Master Dwight C. Squires is visiting hta grandparents at Jamesport.

The estimates are sufficiently accurate to answer for nearly all purposes. Should the assessed valuation of Queens be put next year at $120,000,000, which Is slight ly In excess for that oi this year, upon the basis of a 2 per cent, tax rate, then Queens contribution to the city's expenses would be about $3,000,000. In that event this borough would receive from the general city fund $600,000 more than it pays into the treasury.

As Queens Is largely a suburban territory, however, this is iooked upon by Its citizens as a reasonable expectation for some years to come, or until the new territory which is rapidly growing shall become as thickly settled as the Borough of Brooklyn. As thero is an average expenditure of more than $100, 000 a week in new buildings and extensions throughout the year in the borough, the assessed valuation, it is claimed, will soon fill the gap between payments and There was disappointment expressed throughout the borough at the cutting down of the appropriation for a topographical survey of the borough, as it is necesssary for public and private improvements. The Board of Estimate cut aown iue ue mand for extra salaries this year in the county and city offices of the borough, and the amounts in mrst the departments are not advanced beyond those of last year. Below is a somewhat detailed statement of the amounts appropriated for the support of the several departments of the borough and county for the year 1900: SalarleB of Department ot Finance $61,070.00 Interest on bonds of all klndu, excepting brldBe bonds 420.i39.C0 Half interest on bonds for proposed new Grand street bridge, half to Brooklyn.
