why the Needle Points 80 the Pole.

Why the magnetic needle points to
the north is thus explained by Profes-
sor C. T. Patterson, of the United
States Coast Survey: The earth Is IT
self . magnet, and attracts the needle
just as ordinary magnets do, and it Is
found to be affected by the action CT
the sun in a manner not yet fully un-
derstood. The magnetic poles Of the
earth are not in line with the geograph-
ical poles, bat makes an angle with
them of nearly % degrees. AT the
present time the northern magnetic
pole is near the Arctic Circle, on the
meridian of Omaha, and, from the ma
ture of the case, the pole may be better
described as a region than fixed fact.
The needle does not everywhere point
to the true astronomical north, but va
ries within certain limits. At San
Francisco it points II degrees east OF
north, and at Calais, Maine, as much to
the west. At the northern magnetic
pole balanced needle points with its
north end downward in plumb line;
at San Francisco it dips about 63 de-
degrees, and at the southern magnetic
pole the south end points directly
down. The action of the earth upon a
magnetic needle at its surface is of
about the same force as that Of hard
steel magnet 80 inches long, strongly
magnetized, at distance of one foot.
1t is very probable that a study of dy-
namo-electric machines, now so much
used in electric illumination, will re-
veal soon some far reaching truths re-
garding magnetism in general.

A Novel Contract.

4 young lady down in North Caro-
lina. whether white or colored is not
stated, bought set of jet jewelry, for
which she was to pay hundred kisses,
one day mt. tie tally was complete.
Alter the first thirty days the girl
backed out. probably because the thing
got too monotonous, and the man-of
course there was q man in the case as
well as a woman brought suit against
her for breach Of contract. 1t might
seem 10 some that such an action would
be barred as contrary to public policy.
The case appears, nevertheless, to be
going on. II would be interesting to
know what was agreed upon by the
parties to this queer sale rs the average
pecuniary value OF kiss, which could
be learned by an easy calculation from
the price originally stipulated for the
set. The verdict OF the jury may be
expected to throw new light upon that
rexed and mysterious philosophy OF the
estimate of civil damages which Is so
incompreheusible to the common mind.

ANSWER TO "cCMUs."

Mr.. EDITOR see in your paper of Feb.
l3, that one Comus has assumed the re-
sponsibllity to report the action of our club
meeting at Philomath. We would like to
know who paid him for his services? If he
did it without pay, we will pay him next
time if he will report truth, for Mr.. Smith
says that some of his assertions were palpa-
bic falsehoods He tells us that resump-
ton was the salvation of the country. But
he failed to tell us in what way our govern
ment would pay bonded debt of over two
billion dollars with about eight hundred
million dollars in hard money. He failed to
tell us that specie resumption took place in
January, 1876, and that that there had not
yet been dollar in hard money paid out for
greenbacks, but that they had been taken
in, burned up and an lnterest-bearing bond
given out in their place, thereby increasing
the National debt and the volume of inter
est as burden on the people. He also
failed to tell us that John Sherman had
failed in his favorite scheme of resumption
until he adopted the main plank in the
Greenback platform IN making three hun
dred and fifty million dollars that he re-
served and made legal tender for all debts,
and is now, if / am rightly informed, paying
the interest on the public debt with them,
which is violation of law. He says that
it is a strange thing that man with as
much good sense as Mr.. Smith has, would
advocate such an absurd thing as the Green
back move.
Now, Mr.. Editor, when we want a man
to dictatd|l6r us, we win take one with at
least thimble full Of brains. His remarks
remind me of some Of his slang two years
ago, when he saidithat the Greer pbaek party
was composed of broken down politicians
and sasoon bummers, when there is not

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

Last Saturday the Republican
primaries in this county were held,
but we have failed to receive reports
from all the precincts. AS far as
heard from everything passed off
pleasantly and harmoniously, augur-
ing well for the success Of the party
in the coming election. The prima-
rJesin this precinct was unusually
largely attended, report of which
is giVenseIsewhere. Tomorrow, at
10 o'uiock, a. NJ, the County Con-
yention meets at the Court House in
this city. From the interest exhibit
ed in1ae PRIMARIES, we predict full
attendance in convention. We hope
it may be SO, as very important du-
ties rest upon that body, in the proper
discharge (which every portion oi
the county Is directly lnteres, ed.
Chief among lem is the selection OF
candidates for the various county
offices.
L Thc Democrats have place a good
ticket in the field, and the Republi.
cans, we doubt not, will do the same
thing. We want our strongest and
best men for counts officers-capa.

CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRY.

The proper officers failing to make
a report OF the examination of va
qnina Bay, by Capt. Woods, las,
December, Senator Slater introduced
a resolution calling for the report,
which was considered by unanimous
consent and agreed to. 1t will be
found on page 2, Cong. Record, oil
March 19, as follows:
Resolued, That the Secretary of War be
directed to furnish the Senate with all data
in the possession of the Department of En-
gineers of the United States respecting the
entrance to Yaquina Bay, Oregon, showing
the depth and width of the channel and the
character of Instructions thereto, and par.
ticularly copy of the report of Capt.
Woods of an examination and survey of the
entrance of said harbor. made in December,
1879, by direction of the board of engin-
eers for the Pacific coast.
The above resolutionexplainsitself,
and shows that the friends of Yaqnina
Bay, at Washington, are not asleep.
Had that survey and estimates been
reported promptly, as they should
have been, Congress would have
made an appropriation for this much
needed work, long ago.
