NEXT UNITED STATES SENATOR.

The press of the State Is argus
ing as to the eligibility of. certain
candidates for United States SEN
ator, among whom are Judge
Priln, Judge Burnet eft at. a
glance at the State Constitution
and Oregon Statutes would save
much needless comment, and we
would advise our cotemporaries
10 speEd a little time in their
way. Judges Prim and Burnett,
If written to, would doubtless
give all the information desired;
and those who doubt should seek
knowledge from them. We can~
not but think that Judge Burnett
Is not Senator from Benton coul-
ty until lie qualities and takes
the oath OF office. As TO Judge
Prlm, the law forbids the p ,ssiDil-
it, OF his sBpirlug to tho office
of United States Senator, or any
other, so long as he is Judge, even
though his term of Office stonld
expire just prior to the meeting
of the Legislature. The law is
very plain as regards the candi>
daey OF Judge Prl,n.

The greatest victory yet aehlev.
ed, the Governor declares, was
when the Umatllla Indians were
prevailed upon to JOIN the whites
in active hostilities against the
hostiles. The hostlles evidently
had some reason to believe the
Umatlllas would join them when
they reached Umatllla county.
Had they done so, the soldiers
and volunteers IN the field, even
with the aid that might have
been rendered them by the set
tiers, could MT have prevented

The Fate Of Floating Wrecks.

II nature made no provision for the
removal OF floating wreck from the sur
face OF the ocean, dangers OF nAvlga
tion would increase in q fearful ratio ;
floating hulls, spars and masts would
soon cover the sea. To effect the re-
moval of floating wood three species OF
small marine animals play a most i'm
portant part Suppose we have q ship 8
spar drifting down upon the waves. A
small creature, known as the barnacle,
soon discovers il and attaches itself
thereto. and as these little creatures ex-
list in immense numbers, the timber
speedily becomes covered with them.
On examining them at this stage we
shall find that they are attached TO. the
timber by means OF tube not unlike
the windpipe of chicken, this tube be-
ing filed with liquid, whilst from the
shell protrudes series of twenty-four
hairy claws or tentacles. Each joint OF
the latter is arched, and furnished with
rows of hair on its concave side 30 much
like feathers that il is probably from
their appearance that the first idea oi
the barnacle goose was derived The
effect of the barnacle is to sink the log.
When in mid-water or aS the bottom il
is attacked and riddled through by two
little wood-boring worms, the pholas
and the teredo. The teredO HdVatis OF
ealdBaitas naUiuDa, works its way
through hard planks, and lines the
tunnel as it goes with q hard. ivory
like shell. Thus, then, the barnaelef
and wood worms unite TO work the de
struction of wreckage for, borne dowr
by the one, it is speedily riddled by tht
others, until it falls to pieces by the
! action of the waves and becomes lost.

Tho process Of making the hollow
rubber balls usel 10y children for play
things - quite curious, and may he IN
tcrcsting to those not familiar with II.
A Holvuke writer thus describes Il:
The upper room Of the mill Is prepared
"a push this branch uf the business for
a few months, and il will probably turn
ont some "a. 600 dozen 81 those balls be
tween January and June. These balls
have solid surface, are made 10y a
different process from that Of making
the soft rubber balls which are pcrfor.
atcd 10y an opening. and. OF course, are
much more firm, durable and elastic.
The sheets Of rubber prepared Tor the
balls are cut into strips 81 double convex
shape. The edges OF the strips are
moistcnel with preparation Of rubber
and naphtha. by which they are joined
drmly together, three Of the strips being
used for one ball. This part of the work
Is done 10y girls, and skillful girl can
earn about sl.50 per day. When the
strips are Joined together, the ball Is
very near the shape Of Brazil nut
Before the last opening is closed, Asmau
quantity Of carbonate of ammonia IL put
inside. which. when subjected TO strong
heat, will make the rubber expand and
fill out the ball mold. The opening is
then closed with the adhesive mixture,
and il is placed in an iron mold OF the
size and shape Of the ball desired. The
molds are packed into frames in which
thev are subjected 20 the heat of the
vulcanizcr. They are kept in place in
the frame 10y iron rods along the side,
and, when the frame is fun, iron plates
at the ends are screwed down tightly
upon the molds to hold them in place.
These iron plates are about three-fourths
of an inch thick, and so strong Is the
expansive force of the rubber in the
molds that they have bent this thick iron
into a curve. II one Of the molds should
work out OF plnce while vulcanizing Is
in process, the molds will fly out with
a noise like the report of dozen pistols,
aud the work is spoiled. The action OF
the heat does the rest. When the molds
are opened they contain the perfect
round balls. with no mark OF the places
where the pieces were placed. The
slight ridge made by the mold is ground
off bv stone used for the purpose, and
the ball is done. This is but one pro-
ceas of rubber work. Besides the hollow
balls are made solid balls OF rubber, ETC.

A Scene In Stockholm.

Ten years ago Stockholm was only ac-
cessible by sea. Even now il is called
the Venice Of the North. The streets
are arms Of the sea. A feet of war-ships
could defile in battle array under the
palace windows Of the Swedish king.
The sole vehicle of Stockholm ia light
steamer, a microscopic affair propelled
by miniature steam engine. IL pulls
up at the curb frequently, ,disembarks the
passengers and rings its bell for another
load. Captain, engineer. helmsman aud
fireman are all embodied satisfactorily
in the person Of one small boy. He col
lects the fare from the passengers, gives
the signal for leaving, and obeys it
slows up or crowds on steam. On these
boats you may study at your leisure the
peasant girls and women wearing their
picturesque provincial costume. Their
short skirts disclose stockings of bril-
liant red a brown or green bodice I'M
prisons their waists; quaint, Stithy-
starched caps cover their heads. The
physical aspect of the Swedish popula.
tion il blond, large, tall (; in repose the
face denotes great placidity, but in
speaking the blue eyes lightsn up with
intelligence and the language becomes
rapid and full of color. There is much
in them which recalls the German char.
acter, and yet they are more like the
Germans as depicted by Tacitus thar
the Prussians Of our day.

A nangernns Posiiinn-

On the coast OF Normandy the women
are tough and hard to kill. A few weeks
ago the wives Of three fishermen, having
filed their baskets with shell.fah, we're
going home, when they found them
selves suddenly in the midst Of dense
fog, which prevented their seeing land.
But they knew their way, and walked
ON. This was about six o'clock in the
evening. When they thought they were
near home they we're surprised 10y the
tide. They walked as long as they
could, but at length had 30 stop. Tue
water was then up TO their knees. They
had TO remain in the water till the tide
receded, the fog being still dense. They
screamed as loudly as thcy could, but
heard no voice in reply, and they we're
finally overtaken by the morning tide.
Meanwhile their husbands were running
up and down the sands with lighted
torches, screaming with all their might
but neither party saw nor heard the
other. At last the fog cleared away and
the tide ran out, and the three fisher.
mems wives we're rescued, after having
been in the water twenty-five honrs,
and during a night when the frost had

Death from Oyer.Eatlng.

A French cook named Paquette set out
from q village on the upper Ottawa,
Canada, some time ago, 10 walk 10 Cat
ineau Point through the snow, having
supplied himself with provisions enough
TO last him several days. He proceeded
quietly on his journey for the first day,
but on the second, binding snow-storm
came on, and he lost his way. At the
end of the third day, the provision bag
gave ont. and he had not the slightest
idea of his whereabouts. On the seventh
day ne had grown 40 weary that he was
unable Co walk any further. He lay
down in n snow bank and made mp his
mind that there he would have TO per
isb. He had been there but few min
utes when n horse and cutter came in
view. and he had barely sufficient
strength left 10 hail the driver. He sue
ceeded, however, in the end, and it
turned out to be priest, to whom he
told his story. The priest drove him
10 the parsonage and gave him some
thing TO eat. He then left him alone at
the table whilst he went outside to look
after hia horse, and when he returned,
found Paquette lying on the floor wrlth-
ing in agony. He had eaten too much
and died before n physician could be
summoned.

Many odd bits of time are allowed to go
TO waste which, if improved, would pro-
duce great results. History is full of
examples of those who have risen to
eminence by simply using in a proper
manner leisure moments. A person can
become proficient in q science or a lam
guage by snatching fifteen minutes day
and applying himself TO it. How often
is heard the remark, 81 would like to
read that book, or become acquainted
with that language or science, but l have
not the time I" And yet those very per-
sons spent three hours day at their
meals There are few, il there are any
persons who have not half an hour
day which they may call their own.
That half hour, rightly used throughout
the year, will store the mind with a
large amount of useful knowledge. Let
no one, then, falsely assert, |" have
not the time" but speak the truth, and
