LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS.

Meaning human lite. We notice
an article on this subject going the
rounds. 1t concludes that as there
was once no human life on this
planet it is probable there is none on
many other planets: that as man is
but of yesterday compared with the
age of the earth, there may be none
on any other planet. But this is
reasoning rs though the number of
planets is limited. Now, although
we cannot comprehend infinity, yet
we can make a few feeble steps to-
ward approaching it. We see that
nature, the universe, is infinite. No
matter how far we go we still see be-
yond us infinite space overspread by
starry hosts. Therefore, if but one
planet out of many billions shall
have human life on it, it follows
there are an infinite number of in
habitable worlds. We are speaking
of the infinite, remember. If there
are an infinite number of worlds,
then If all but one out of each bill
ion were destroyed, there must be
left an infinite number. Therefore,
seeing we have one world inhabited
it is probable that there are infinite
millions of worlds inhabited.

GONE.

The death last week of the famous
Ericsson takes from the stage of
action one of those gigantic intel
lects to whom modern progress owes
so much. 1t may be said that with
out such men as he all our knowledge
would be practically vain. They
have the genius to do the impossible,
the very highest order of human in
tellect. The memory of this man
will ever be honored, not by two con-
tnents only, the one of his nativity
and of his adoption, but by human
ity in general, and shall grow larger
and brighter as the ages increase.

TEACHERS EXAMINATIONS.

ED. JOURNAL Now that the
examination has just been completed
for this quarter, we would like to
talk with you while. Have you
ever thought why you are ex-
amined? Have you ever thought
that the examination system we
now have is an imposition upon
you? Have you never been aggra-
waited over the matter? Why
should you be examined? Properly
to ascertain your fitness to teach.
But our system of examination does
not determine teaching ability any
more than it determines your ability
to herd cattle. You might as well
be required to NOV an acre Of grass.
1t does not even determine scholar
ship with any degree of eXactness.
Many a good scholar would shrink
from the tests to which you are sub
jected. Some teachers there are
who are never examined and their
work proves them to be good teach
ers. Some one may in the eXamin-
alton just passed, be graded 100 per
cent in Grammar. Does that prove
that such an one knows all about
Grammar? II so, then he ought
not to be subjected to examination
in that branch any longer. But no
one claims that the standings on a
certificate prove conclusively ones
scholarship. If any one thinks SO,
let him attend the next eXamina-
ton and have the scales scraped
from his dazed imagination.
If you are examined and found
competent, and licensed to teach,
why should you be examined again
in three or six months? There
must be a reason for this arrange
ment. If you have taught three,
six, or nine months and your
patrons are we'll pleased, why should
you be examined again.
If you have been examined and
found competent to teach in the
county of Marion, you may teach in
any school. If capable to do the
work in district No. q, why should
you not be competent in No. SO?
We have known instances in which |
teachers of the lower grades have
done better work than their prede-
cessoIs or successors ofhigher grades.
1t is not the grade of the certificate
that should determine the teachers
fitness for a particular school, but |
the grade of his work.
Why is not a.teacher examined in
Marion county competent to teach
IN Linn or Clackamas counties,
when the state system is uniform?
The same questions are used, but if
you wish to teach in Marion county
you must have certific cate from the
of Marion county
md this cannot be procured with
)ut an examination.
We do not object to examination,
,ut we do object to the present sys-
em of examination. 1t must cost
he teachers of Marion county not
ess than $500 per annum for exam
nations and perhaps a much larger
um, besides Inconvenience and loss
If valuable time. Scores of teachers
ire pinching, and derpriving them
elves of much needed helps in order
o be able to attend these eXamina-

IT makes one plush for his species
to learn that n lot of rutfians invaded
the White House the night before
Inauguration singing most offensive
songs and using insulting language
towards Cleveland. We are glad
they belong to the East however,

HOWARD BLAKE KILLED.
lie Falls Through Six Stories of
shaft


The low-turned gas Jets in the icy.cold
morgue sent forth a wierd and unholy light
where human beings fitted to and fro in
close communion with the dead.
Upon one of the marble slabs lay the in
animate form of Howard NJ. Blake, of Bos-
ton.
a year and a month ago the deceased came
to Omaha to superintcnd the coustruc-
ton of the building now being erected
by the New York Lite Insurance company,
and that he did his work well the magni6-
cent editice will attest.
He labored night and day to perfect the
plans placed in his hands. He labored faith
fully, A quiet, u~uassuming man, he made
few acquaintance outside Of those who were
associated with him III the construction of
the building.
Last night he met his death.
Making his regular inspection OF
the night shift, he took the Gle.
vator on the first floor, and
by some accident fell from the elevator and
through the shaft when he had reached the
sixth floor.
when picked up by the laborers about the
building, Mr.. Blake was still alive but I'M
conscious. In a few minutes he died, and
the remains were taken to the morgue.
The deceased leaves a wife and two chill
dren IN Boston. An inquest will be held at
~ o'clock this morning.
Two laborcrs, Mcneil and Cheney, were
witnesses of the accident.
