Doctoringt the Landlord.

The 25th June, rent day.
Landlord calls on young doctor for
his rent. "Good morning DOCTOR"
Doctor: "Good morning, sir: You're
looking very i'll; put out your tongue"
Landlord puts out his tongue. Doc
tor sees the landlord s tongue, gives him
prescription, and sends him home not
toleave the house for week or two.
He departs peacefully for bed, minus
the rent.

1t Was Her Parasol.


A woman went into a dry goods
store on Woodward avenue the other
day, and going up to the proprietor,
spread out her hands, palms up.
"See those glovsss"
ayes madam"
II bought them here. Paid full
price for best kid, and-look at'em."
"Yes'm, see-full of holes"
"Looks as if I'd been scrubbing the
sidewalk with 'em.''
THAT right hand glove does look
that way"
"But they are mates. Now 1 de.
mand new pair. It's a shame to
take good money for such gloves as
these"
LET me see your parasol," said the
merchant; ''tine handle that, cut in
grooves, works like file. Pm only
surprised, madam, that it did not
cut right through to the skin. AS long
as you carry that parasol you should
buy your gloves at q blacksmith's

A New Use For Draushts.

A common source OF cold and dis
comfort IN winter is the draught from
the bottom OF a shrunken or badly
fitting door. A simple device has been
brought out by which these currents
of air can be so diverted as to be made
desirable instead OF Objectionable. A
slab ofwood work on two pivot-hooks
projecting from the bottom Of the
doer, and fitted at one end with a
curved piece OF wood, which comes
against the jamb on closing the door
and presses a felt-facing close to the
door. On opening the door an India
rubber spring draws the bottom of the
slab toward the door, and so clears
the carpet. The bottom edge OF the
slab, being lined with felt, is absolute
ly draught-tight. On the door being
shut the air which rushes in strikes
against the slab, is turned upward,
and goes to the top of the room. In
this way the draught under the door,
which was before a constant menace
to the health OF the occupants of the
room, becomes positive advantage
in promoting the thorough ventila-
ton of the apartment.
A Flying Machine.
Yet another flying machine has just
been added to the number Of the in
struments that are said to fly but
won't, or can't. The inventor of this
gigantic bird is a Frenchman, and it is
by means of a steam motor inside the
creature that the aeronaut takes his
fight, or rather intends taking it, for
the actual experiment seems to lie as
yet in the future. The place for the
aeronaut is also in the interior of this
bird, which measures over l6 wards
from wing to wing. M. Alder claims
for hisinyention that it is constructed
in close imitation of nature, and that
he only built his bird after having
closely studied the fight of the large
vultures in Algiers. It took him Is
years to hatch this bird, the CONNER
dial value Of which i estimated ct
Gao, 900.

Electricity VS.. Steam.
An expert electrician, in a paper
upon Electricity as the Rival of
Steam," before a scientific institute
recently, concluded; In this we have
seen that we must look upon cleo
tricity not as in any sense able to dis
place steam as a prime mover, but
as an enormously powerful and con-
venient-means of transferring power
from one point to another with the
greatest simplicity and small losses.
Probably for a long time to come
by far the greater proportion OF
dynamos will continue to be driven
by steam-engines; but SO far as use
alta given point is concerned the electric
motor is a most successful rival
OF the steam engine. If the day ever
comes, as it may, although we
can hardly dare to look for it-when
we can obtain electrical energy directly
from coal, as we now obtain heat
energy, the days OF the steam engine
will be numbered. AS already pointed
out, electricity and heat are very
intimately connected. Every time
we heat a piece OF iron, for example,
we stir up not only what call heat,
but also electric magnetic energy,
radiated; and if we go on heating long
enough we may raise the iron to q
white heat, and recognize the energy
in it's familiar form of light. But all
this is merely the dream OF the future;
perhaps it will be fulfilled some day
but until then we must depend upon
our present dynamos.
The Water Theory in Rabies.
The problem OF how to stamp out
rabies is greatly complicated by the
ignorance Of country doctors. In
the case OF Charles Frank the Rah-
way blacksmith. we are told that doc
tor Oliver said he knew the patient
had not hydrophobia because he did
not have commissions when water was
offered to him. 1t may be stated, on
the authority OF M. Pasteur, that So
called water-tests in hydrophobia are
wholly delusive and unscientific. DR..
Paul Gibler has said through the col
ums OF the Evening Sun that he has
seen men lying in rabies in Paris who
drank water freely almost to their
last gasp. In fact, the water hypo-
thesis from which rabies got it's best
known name came from curious as
ISOLATION Of ideas. When rabid dog
sees the'sun shining on a pool his eyes
are so sensitive that the CLINT OF the
light often throws him into convul-
sions. In man the disease usually in
wolves the throat, and accompanied
by intense thirst. The natural effort
OF the victim to swallow water or any
other liquid brings on fresh fit Of
commissions. This disposes OF the
absurd water theory.-New York
Evening Sun.

NOT TO BE REMOVED.
willamette University Remains in
Salem for all Time to Come.

The impression is gaining ground
daily that there is now no longer
any possibility of removal to Port
land:
The reasons for this are many and
apparent. The conference selects
trustees from Oregon, Columbia river
and Idaho. This conference meets
IN Salem. The north enterprise has
practically been abandoned. BY
the resignation of some of the pro-
fessors and President Van Scoy, who
were the prime movers for re-loca-
tion, that has been dropped.
A capital of 100000 is involved
at least in the University at Salem
this the property would bring at
sale at any time. The UEiveriity is
on solid financial basis, and il
Methodistic influences were with
drawn, other churches would amply
support it. The demand is for twice
its present capacity. There is not
an inch of room not now used.
With greater capital it could do
twice the business 1t is self-sup-
porting. Assets this year are in ex-
cess Of last.
The trustees are as much in con
troll Of this property as the directors
of any bank or other corporation,
yet even a majority of trustees
would find themselves involved i'm
expensive litigations if they under
took to dispose of the property here
and close up the University at
Salem. The disposition at both
ends of the line--Salem and Port.
land-is to let the matter rest at
present. 1t is probable nothing
more will be heard of it.

A StenOgrapher Who Has Been Acting

Court.

What young Oregon woman is
capable Of is best illustrated by the
fact that since the illness of Hon. j.
j. Murphy disqualified him from at
tending to the labors Of his Office as
Clerk Of the Supreme Court, the
place has been filed hy Miss Agusta
Palmer, in satisfactory manner.
Miss Palmer had been a stenograph-
er in the Office previously and was
neApectedly called upon to asume
the duties pertaining there
to, and has aquitted her
s"lf credilably. Court has
adjourned until July and today Mr.
Murphy is reported better 1t is
expected Mr., Murphy will ag in be
at his post. He was taken sick 50
suddenly that he had not time to
arrange for anyone to take his place.
Hence the entire labors Of the the
office devoIved upon Miss Palmer
in an unexpected manner.
