STETSON, FRANCIS LYNDE. The use of the Niagara water power. 

 (Cass., July, 1895. 8:173-192.) 



To most, the first impression, and to many the enduring impres- 

 sion, is that of awe, in which the subjective mood prevails and a 

 certain sense of personal danger dominates all other thoughts of 

 this mighty moving flood, pouring resistlessly down through the 

 gorge. . . . Danger there certainly is, and death in this resist- 

 less, remorseless tide has been found and also has been sought by 

 hundreds; but notwithstanding its appalling aspect, it is through 

 this very sense of resistless power that the Falls speak to minds of 

 great dignity and self-restraint, and lead them to observe as did 

 Mr. Carter of New York, in his characteristically fine oration at 

 the opening of Niagara Park, that the " sense which responds to 

 this magnificent motion " is the " sense of power."
