AT THE INSTITUTE.
Large Attendance-What the
Instructors are Doing,

The last week of the teachers in
kitute opened with 12l teachers
1egistered and new arrivals daily.
Anyone who looks in upon the work
must realize how much Is gained by
I = regular attendance. No teacher
6arl go out from this gathering with
out added strength in every direct
Ion. Prof. Wetzel presents history
~ way as practical as it is unique.
TO illustrate he would have the
teacher collect good pictures of the
signing of Magma Charta, the sign
ing of the Declaration of Indepen-
Hence and of the Emancipation
PROCLAMATION in group to arepre-
eent three important historical
events and in this way give the child
something beside dry facts to rouse
thought. Beside this he would in
terest pupils in literature by reading
such things as Paul Reviere's Ride
IN connection with the history of
the revolution. Then one would
almost imagine the Professor had
found some" Royal road to learning"
while listening to his "short cuts
in number work and be sure he was,
4 10 use his own words, "chuch full"of
his subject. In another room Supt
4 Graham initiates the novice into all
4 The mysteries of geography, in such
way that they realize it is no:
simply matter of memory but has
a practical bearing on things of
every day life. Prof. AcSerman
4 holds his classes down to study,
careful work, and every lesson has a
succession Of helpful suggestions,
both as to matter and method, which
cannot but bear fruit in'every school
of our county. No teacher can afford
to miss his lesson on physiology.
Prof. Yoder confines his efforts to
the favored few who aspire to the
honor of State Diplomas, so must
not be measured by common stand
ards, but every successful applicant
will rise up and call him blessed.
"Wednesday morning Miss Capwell
illustrated primary number work
with class of pupils, which con-
WINGED those who saw it that charts,
Eballs, cards, splints, etc. did some-
thing more than amuse the child,
being really tools to cultivate the
schild-mind and lead 1t to think, and
SO gain that activity which results
in strength. The little folks entered
Unto the work with zest and SEEM
ed to enjoy the doing which gave
numbers meaning instead of max
ing the operations mere abstract
work. This week closes what all
must concede is one of the best in
stitutes ever held in Marion 20. and
many a teacher will find in it the
strength to accomplish better work
than ever before. 13l teachers are
now in attendance.

ANOTHER ELECTRIC ROAD.
The Salem Motor Railway
Company's Plans.
WORK BEGINS AT ONCE.
Prospective Route and Plan OF
Work.
WORK BEGINS At ONCE.

AT last 1T Is an eStaOllsneu lacV
that Salem will have another elec-
trio railroad, and all who doubted the
sincerity of the present owners of
the old horse-car line will be satis-
fed that they mean business. Man
ager Derby informed JOURNAL re-
porter this morning that work will
be under way early next week, as
the contracts which have been made
call for the completion of the entire
system by Sept. 1st.
Arrangements have been compile
ted with the combined Thompson
Houston and Edison electric COM
ranies, through the Northwestern
electric company at Portland for
five complete motors, cars and trucks
all wires and overhead work. as also
for the bonding of the rails. This
campany is to furnish everything
but the ties, poles and iron, and
thoroughly equip the entire line in
first class working order. S. e..
Hutchinson will have charge of the
electrical part of the work, and Mr..
Miller, of Olympia, who will be here
this evening, will have charge of
the track construction.
A contract has been let for the
ties and Messrs Mason e. Smith,
who have the contract to furnish the
poles, will begin isetting lthe same
this week. The poles are to be 30
feet long, and will he set six feet in
the ground.
12O tons of 40 pound steel rails,
with all necessary fishplates, spikes,
ETC., have been purchased, and will
be here in about two weeks. The
company will convert its present
barn into a powerhouse, unless a
contract can be closed with Mr..
Holman to put in special SO-horse
dynamo for their use. ALI labor
and as much material as possible
will be secured here at home.
THE PROPOSED ROUTE.
The route which will be adopted
is about as follows: From CONNER
cial street going north the road will,
after crossing the bridge at the COM
pany's barn, turn to the right, run
on Third street to Division. thence
east to the county road and direct to
the fair grounds. Running south
from the bridge, the line will cover
Commercial street to State, thence
east to Winter street, thence south
to Oak street, thence east to 18th
street, thence south over the old
route to Rural avenue, which is
nearly four blocks beyond the pres
ent terminus. These routes are
partly contingent upon the subsidies
which are now being raised, but are
practically correct.
Manager Derby is very much elat-
ed over the prospect of giving Salem
a good road and good service. He
says they propose to make every
thing A No. /, and besides touching
some entirely new territory will re
build the rest of their line in such a
manner as to be a credit to our grow.
ing city.
Dirt will be flying next week and
work will be given to large num-
ber of men and teams.

MRS EMMA [. BROWN.

Mrs. Emma Langdon Brown, who disd in this village on the 18th. inst. was born in Salisbury, April 20, 1900. On the 9th. of January she fell on the stairs and broke her leg, and her death Is the result of this accident.
 Her husbands pame was Moore Brown, who belonged to the Salisbury family of that name Until the death of Mir. Brown, which occurred fifty years ago, the subject of this sketch lived with him in Salisbury. Five children were born to them, of whom only one is now living. Albert H. Brown, who Is a carpenter in Walnut. Iowa. After the death of her husband, she lived with her son, Nelson NJ. Brown, and hince his death she has lived with his widow, Mrs. Harriet E. Brown of this village.
 Mrs. Brown has always been a stan. h and devoted Methodist Her death will be deeply felt by her large circle of friends and acqnaintances. In spite of her advanced age, of nearly ninety two years, she had preserved her mental faculties unimpaired. Her memory. es- pecially, was remarkable, as shown by her ability to recall the earlier events If her long life. and to repeat hymns aud poetry, as she often did for the enter- tainment of the family circle. She was withal very sprightly and vivacinus and had a keen sense of humor. She will be greatly missed.
 Her funeral takes place this morning from her late residence, at 10 30 o'clock. Burial at Salisbury Centre.

THE NORTHERN LIGHTS.

The display of the aurora borealis on Saturday evening was the most mag nihceut instance of thst phenomenon that nas been witnessed in this part of the world for many years. We shall not attempt to describe it in detail; suffice it to say that at about 2 o'clock the sky in the west and northwest was one mass of deep pink, which gradually extended in much paler shade and mingled with pale green and white un- til it stretched across the whole northern horizon and nearly up to the Zenith. If the moon Gust past the ful) had not been shining in all It's brillianc.,, the colors would no donbt have be. much deeper. In 1859 on Sept 29, there was an aurora which covered the whole sky, was much deeper in col and lasted much longer than the one of saturday. It is said that at that time the cracking and SD itting sounds heard during auroras near the poles, were heard on the hills of Western Massaclu- setts. Again in 1870. 1871 and 1872 there were remarkable displays.
 As iu the past, 50 in this last appes r. ance, the phenomenon has occurred st the same time with the appearance f spots on the sun. There is now lar @ suu spot visible through colored glass. Astronomers say that the sun spots are caused by electrical storms or outbnrsts in the gaseous envelope of the sun. TT electric wires were seriously affected Saturday night at various points.
 Those who saw this last display may congratulate themselves and pity tn. le (if any) who missed it. Still the latter have this consolation that astronomers say that the exhibition may be repeated several times between Feb. 29 aud April 23.

The Claims of the Baltimore's Injured
 Sailors Aggregate S1, ,3O5,OOo.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15.-In a few days there will be forwarded to Secretary Blaine the formal claim of the sailors and others of the United States man-of-war Baltimore, who were injured in the fight with the mob at Valparaiso. Some of the sums demanded are very large. The total claim foots up in the neighborhood of S1, ,305, ,0O0 The largest sums are demanded by John Hamilton and Jeremiah Anderson, both coal beavers on the Baltimore at the time the assault was committed. Hamilton received three bad wounds and thinks that $5O,0OO is not toe much for the Chilian government to pay for each wound. Anderson has three or more marks as the result of his being in the row, but he says he will be satisfied if he can get hold of S150,0OO ilian money.
 Lawyer F. A. Orr has the cases of twenty of the men. He says he thinks the men are justified in asking the amount of indemnity they have. ''If the Chilian government turns over to the United States s1, 900 900, as she should for this unfortunate affair, why we want it," said the lawyer with g amile
