on farming operations in accordance

lance calls upon the state and couu-
ties to hold up the farmers hands

Women as Jurors.

Olympia Critje.l
Prosecuting Attorney McFadden
who, it is well known, has never been
a strong advocate of what was COM
monty known as woman's rights,
neither has he been fanatic on the
subject of woman suffrage, and whose
opinion can therefore be relied on,
says that from what he has seen al
Chehalis. during the recent term of
court, he has come to the conclusion
that either as grand Juror or petit
juror. woman is far the superior of
man III most cases. and seems to b.
more anxious TO do her duty as such
than most men.
Mr.. McFadden also states that all
obscene expressions and disgusting
language SO commonly y testified to in
our courts. was entirely obliterated
on this occasion, so that woman's
sense of delicacy and natural mod
esty was as carefully guarded as it
would be- in her own home.
Now 1t seems to us that all the
ridiculous arguments made use of in
the past 10 prevent women from hav-
ing equal rights with men. are utter
ly annihilated by such an opinion, and
we not only cordially endorse what
the Prosecuting Attorney saws, but
we viii go farther and say that
through the assistance of women our
courts will become pur men will
become more moral, and society gen.
orally will be improved in every way.

To the North Pole In a Balloon.

Much has been said rs to the posi-
bility Of reaching the north pole in q
balloon, and the present writer has re-
ceived numerous letters from people
who declare that they can direct an
aerostat. His reply TO such commune
cations is that he will be very glad to
make the gentlemen in question pres
ent OF fl00 If they will select two
places. twenty miles apart, go in free
aerostat from one spot to another, and
return, without anchoring the balloon
or recharging it with gas, provided
they, on failing to do this. will give
him rs to assist charity. ANY person
who subscribes to a scheme for reach
ing the north pole in balloon. with
our present knowledge of aerostatics,
can not be particularly acquainted
with the matter. So far as the solu-
ton of the problem how to navigate
the air Is concerned, we believe that
balloons have done more harm than
good. The attention of inventors has
been diverted from what Is probably
the only feasible way to obtain the de-
sired end-namely, the construction of
uoCuiuc WHiCu, ilsciI HcaFleT IMAM
the atmosphere, will be able 10 strike
a blow on the air in excess of its own
weight Machinery worked by steam
is much too heavy for this purpose;
electricity some day perhaps will be
available. An engineer who has made
electricity his study recently informed
m assembly of gentlemen that In the
course of the next ten years he believed
1t would be possible 10 compress
enough electricity in a substance the
size Of an eggshell to drive an ex-
press train from London to Liverpool.
Science has not arrived at this point
yet but who can tell, after the tele-
phone, the monograph, and the other
marvellous discoveries of Edison, what
1t may do in the futurep Inventors
should never forget that q bird is
heavier than the air, and that the bird
flies because its strength enables it to
overcome the difference between its
weight and that of the atmosphere it
displaces. To put the case in a nut
shell, aerial navigation is mere ques-
ton of lightness and force.-Fred
B1rndby, 81 the Fortnightly ReUiev.
