Fir Stronger than Oak.

Some very interesting tests of
woods native to Washington and Ore
gon, and others native to other timber
sections of the country, were made
recently at the Northern Pacific car
shops at Tacoma. The purpose was
to demonstrate the relative strength
of the woods.
There were present at the tests,
Master Mechanics Warner and
Phipps, of the shop, Engineers Lund
and Haines and architect G. B. Tai
bot.
The timber was subjected to an ac-
tual breaking, on sticks 2x4 inches
and four feet long, to centers, being
one-fourth as long, thick, and wide as
an actual stringer as used by the
railroad company in its trestle bridg-
es. The test is important as there
seems to have but little information
on that subject, and the impression
has been that ordinary oak was
stronger than fir. The tests show,
however, that yellow fir is actually
one. third stronger than eastern oak,
and more than.half stronger than
eastern white pine. The breaking
weight, placed squarely in the middle
Of each stick, was as follows:
No. l. Old piece of yellow fir from
yard, having decsyed ends, six years
in the weather, 1868 pounds.
No. 2. New soft piece ine-grain
yellow fir, similar to the best flooring
timber, 1862 pounds.
No. 3. Old piece yellow fir, coarse
grain and hard, broke short at 4,320
pounds.
No. 4. New piece from butt of
tree, broke with stringy fracture at
1886 pounds.
No. 5. New piece Michigan white
pine, soft and clear. broke short at a
weight of 1910 pounds.
No. 6. New piece Michigan oak
broke nearly short off at a weight of
2,428 pounds.
All of the pieces of wood were sub
jected to. the same clear span of 3
feet 8 inches, and the weight ap-
piled exactly in the middle.
AS to the reflections the following
notes were made: Nos. l and 2, half
an inch, No. 3, three-eighths OF an
inch, No. 5, one-fourth of an iuch, No.
6, one and one eighth of an inch.

Tacoma, WASH. Sept. 19, 1889,
To Whom it May Concern;
This is to certify that I, George A. Burbank,
witnessed the exhibition Of the Lindgren
chemical engine test to-day, and as l have
witnessed great many such chemical tests
in New York City, Boston, Mass, and other
large cities in the East, / hereby state that it
was the quickest and most satisfactory test,
and was also pronounced so by two Of our
councilmen and all the citizens present, and
will also state that the time Of applying the
chemical was left entirely to me and / did not
give the word until the fire was well started,
for in other tests have witnessed they have
always put the chemical on the minute the
fire was started and water would answer just
as well, as there was nothing but the fame
started and the wood not charred, and / take
great pleasure in recommending the Lind
gren' as far superior to any other Chemical
engine on the market,

on MARRIAGE VOWS.
An English View Which Seems to Reflect
Public Opinion

IL Is said BY some norAllsts that, as mar
rage IS ''for better or worse" IL j, the duty
OF the wife To remain with her husband, no
matter how Dad DO may be, and that the
husband must also cOndODe tue errors OF
the most intemperate wife. says the Lon
don Standard. BY upholding this indls-
s0iublllty OF marriage we offer. II Is argued,
great inducement 10 the wife 10 reclaim
her husband, II possible, and 10 the man 70
attempt the reformation OF the woman's
habits and life. There Is something in this
plea, but 10 would have more absolute force
II marriage concerned only the husband
and wife. We have, however. 10 take the
children into consideration. la the hrst
place, they have before their eyes the
dreadful example OF a drunken father or a
deoased mother. Secondly, we must re-
gard the question OF heredity. Mrs. Faw-
cett has written "a story in which she sug
gests, as difficult question, the duty of u
wife who discovers only after marriage
that her husband Is not only IA drunkard
himself, but the son and grandson of habit
ual sOts. She thinks with horror that il she
continues 10 live with him, she may become
the mother Of a son who, as he grows
up 10 manhood, will show, 10 her agony, all
the symptoms OF the hereditary mania She
that the question is not settled, even If the
partner OF the offender resolves to endure
personally all the consequences of the
choice. He or she has TO consider others as
well We do not perceive why the Legis-
lature could not devise short act, giving
20 the wife or husoand Of habitual
drunkard the right to separate under. of
course, very strict conditions. The habit
ual character OF the offense must be clearly
proved; the unfitness OF the man or woul-
an 10 have the custody OF the children, IL
any, must be established; and every care
should be taken that the release is not a re-
lief from tho expense OF maintenance nor
any dissolution of the marriage itself. We
believe that 1t would be quite sufficient TO
grant a simple separation, not allowing
either party TO marry again. In this way
the remedy would offer no temptation 10
either side. On the contrary, the existence
OF such means OF redress would arm the
sober husband or sober wife with a powerful
means OF appeal. A woman who in spite
Of remonstranceS, persisted IN drink, could
be clearly, told of the probable consequences
Of continued indulgence, might thus be ar
rested early In the downward course. The
bill must, OF course, be absolutely applicable
to the sexes, and the same remedy To wom-
en as TO men No doubt there will be both
husbands ana wives unwilling 10 call it's

would prefer to endure all wrongs rather
than tell the story in public court Yet
even for them il viii be well 10 know that
redress is within their grasp. Their suf-
ferings VIII be all the more toerable when
they feel they are voluntary, and that the
