THE OFFICIAL PAPER or GILLIAN
COUNTY. OREGON.
We have been requested to ex.

We have been requested to ex-
plain how the electoral voters
Of a state are chosen. Here it is:
Each state is entitled to as many
presidential electors as it has sena-
tors and representatives in con-
gress. Therefore, as far as the lat
ter part Of the basis is concerned,
the number Of electors is in proper
&ion to the population Of each state;
but the rule of one elector for each
United States senator has, OF course,
no relation to population, as each
stateis entitled to- but two senators.
For every 173,9O0 inhabitants each
state is entitled to- a representative.
The number of representatives in
congress is usually increased in
making the reapportionment after
each census and the number Of elec-
tors increases with them. The ad-
mission of new states also increases
the number of electors. The elect
ors are chosen as the legislature of
each state directs. Since 1860 it
has been the general practice to Sc
lect them by vote Of the people
upon a general ticket, each elector
being chosen by the svote of his
whole state. An exception occur
red in Colorado in 1876, when the
electors were chosen by the legisla-
ture. Michigan is now the only
state that varies from the common
practice A recent Act Of the Mich
igan legislature directs that the vo-
tiers in each Of the twelve congress
sional districts shall choose one
presidential elector. The state is
also divided into two electoral
districts, each comprising six con-
gressional districts, and the voters
Of each electoral district are to
choose one Of the two additional
electors to which that state is enti-
tied. Besides Oregon's two sena-
tors there are two representatives,
therefore we are entitled to four
electoral voters who will help to
elect president on November Sth.

"All the World is Queer.

Most OF us are acquainted with people
whom we consider peculiar and criti-
cize OF laugh at accordingly. There is
the woman who, never having seen you
before, gives you in five minutes after
introduction rapid and comprehensive
sketch OF her career, past and present,
with future expectations and plans added
thereto; and the man who airs his pet
theories, rides his religious or political
hobby, and dogmatically prescribes ad-
hesion to his views as the one thing
requisite to make all mankind perfect.
Then there are the mentally color blind,
who never see things as they really are,
and who supply false motive for their
nelghbors' every act; the people who
are always telling you what they intend
TO do and who never do it; the boosters,
the dreamers, the self-elected critics
who censure in others the very faults
which are most apparent in themselves.
At every revelation of such traits we
cry out, "How peculiar !" forgetting
that, in our turn, We probably give just
such surprising glimpses OF our own in
conslstencies, and cause others to Won
der at our pecuharities. Could we see
ourselves as others see US, we would
shrink as we do from some of those I'M
fiattering negatives which might take
the vanity out of Narcissus himself
Not until experience has brought q
measure of wisdom can you make allow
ance for human wariousness, or real
ize that everybody is peculiar to some
one else. The wisest plan, says Basm,
is to arrive at the conclusion reached by
two intimate friends who, in the seclu-
sion of their sewing-room, were discuss
ing their neighbors. Neither was u
gossip; nevertheless mild species of
dissection was in operation, when one of
them merrily exclaimed, eve find SO

one else accepts as commonplace that it

What an Astral BODY Is.

The structure of the inner astral man
is definite and coherent. Just as the
outer body has a spine, which is the
column whereon the being sustains
itself with the brain at the top, so the
astral body has its spine and brain. Il
is material, for it is made of matter,
however finely divided, and is not of the
nature of the spirit.
After the maturity of the child before
birth this form is fixed, coherent and
lasting, undergoing but small alteration
from that day until death. And so also
as to its brain-that remains unchanged
until the body is given up, and does not.
like the outer brain, give up cells to be
replaced by others from hour to hour
These inner parts are thus more perma-
pent than the outer correspondents to
them,
Our material organs, bones and tis-
sues are undergoing change each in
stant This is not the case with the in.
ner form. 1t alters only from life to
life, being constructed at the time of
reincarnation to last for a whole period
of existence. For it is the model fixed
by the present evolutionary proportions
for the outer body. 1t is the collector,
as it were, of the visible atoms which
make us as we outwardly appear.
SO at birth it is potentially of a GER
tain size, and when that limit is reached
1t stops the further extension of the
body. At the same time the outer body
is kept in shape by the inner one until
the period of decay. And this decay,
followed by death, is not due to bodily
disintegration per Sc, but to the fact
that the term of the astral body is
reached when it is no longer able to
hold the outer frame intact. Its power
70 resist the impact and war of the ma
terial molecules being exhausted, the
sleep of death supervenes.
Now, as in our physical form the hIain
and spine are the centers for nerves, SO
in the other there ara the nerves which
rSmify from the inner brain and spine
all over the structure. All of these are
related to every organ i'll the outer Wis
ible body. They are more in the nature
of currents than nerves, as we Vpder-
stand the word, and may bs called astro-
nerves,-A TheosopGistin Lucifer.

He Was a ScOundrel.

A German Jew, who keeps pawn
brokers' shop in Sydney, is blessed
with one daughter, who now and then
"keeps shop" while her father attends
sales on the lookout for bargains.
During the temporary absence of old
Mosesh recently, meek looking China
man walked into the shop and asked
Rachel to show him some "weIly good
watches,
Rachel handed down four from tho
jewelry shelf at the end of the counter,
marked respectively Fifty dollar
watch, "'' Forty dollar watch and Ten
dollar watch, and arranged them in IA
line on the counter from right to left, in
the order of their value.
John inspected the watches, and tax
ing advantage of Rachel's momentarv
inattention, slipped the ten dollar wateI,
into the place occupied by the forty
dollar watch and said, Il tallee thisea
cheapee watchee," handed over the tea
dollars, and trotted of.
Shortly afterwards Rachel detected
the swindfe, and sought refuge in tears.
On the return of old Mosesh she re-
lated the misadventure with many pro-
testations of concern.

Absent-Minded People Are Clever

While, luckily for the world, all clever
people are not absent minded neverthe-
less an absent-minded person is invari-
ably clever person, and very often is a
really intellectual man or woman whose
absurd alterations are therefore all the
more laughable and conspicuous. One

his urbanity and easy way of dealing

FAITH AND EVIDENCE.
Report for Glass + by X. NJ

The evidence submitted by the author are of
two kinds: external and internal. Now l doubt
whether the authenticity of the Scriptures can
be proved by external evidence. About eight or
ten years ago. there was a discussion carried on
through the columns of the North American
Review" between Judge Jeremy Black and
Robert G. ingersoll. and most of the arguments
used by our author was used also by Judge
Black, and it is generally conceded that he Jared
badly at the hands Of the great atheist. Henry
Ward Beecher got served about the same way in
his attempt. In speaking of their defeat after
wards, Judge Black said. :" 1t does not disturb
my faith Beecher said. Might is not right"
Both put faith above evidence. But the idea
want to get at is this If the Scriptures are to be
weighed by evidence then in justice to the OPP
posing side we must lay aside our faith and abide
by the evidence. How many are willing to do
that? But to 90 little farther-how many men
are there in this country who are capable of in
vestgatng this subject for themselves: Not
one half of one per cent If we accept the in
vestgatOnS of others, why it brings us to where
we started from, that is. faith We must have
faith in their Investigations before they have
any value to us. Now. it seems to me better to
trust that which we believe inspired than the
work of any man, no matter how perfect. Pass
ing from external TO internal evidence. Here
think we will find evidence hard to doubt. We
don't have to have knowledge of nineteen
centuries of history all we have to do is to study
man and nature. But that part of the subject
was handled last Sunday in a manner that
doesn't leave much to be said.
But it is not evidence of any kind that has
given the Christian religion the place it holds in
the world it is fatl-a faith that has not asked
the why and the wherefore. was reading one
of Mr. Cables books last week, and ran across
this sentence "A spirit that must understand
is a spirit that will not trust You will very
often near it said in regard to some Scriptural
matter, it is something that cannot be under
stood. We must accept it as it is. If we accept
anything blindly we ought as well accept the
whole. What is the character of the evidence
submitted? Is it direct one, or, isn't it all cir
cumstantial? AS near as [ can make out it is.
What is that kind of evidence to me? 1t is
~7c-+'> ~"eciOus little practically. But it gives
great scope for discussion. 1t gives chance to
Ingersoll to walk over all the theoegians in the
country, when, in fact neither side has a solid
foundation to start from. And who does the
most damage to religion? IngersOll with his
atheism and his good life, or, they with nothing
hut words? Religion does not rest on evidence;
il II aid it wouldn't stand long. 1t rests faith.
