As was to be expected, Governor
Pennoyer created q good sized sensa.

ical shades turned out to hear him
Judging from the tone Of the Seattle
newspapers, Oregon's Governor pleased
the Seattleites. The Post-Intslligencer
says: "Povernor Pennoyer is really q
fine looking man. of generous proper
tions, benevolent mein, white hair and
iron-gray whiskers. He has pleasant
voice, and though he sdEitted that he
is no speaker every one seemed to be

an old-fashioned white choker' reach
ing nearly to his ears, and a black

and attempts no oratorical flights, but

be serious piece of business" Gov
ernor Pennoyer was introduced to the
meeting by the chairman as "a man Of
isms, second Andrew Jackson, who
would be President if he didn't live SO
far west" After paying his respects
to the Seattle preacher who criticised
his Thanksgiving proclamation, Gov
ernor Pennoyer spoke for about an
hour on the political issues. He said
that the Republicans were responsible
for present conditions, although the
Democrats were not doing much to
help us out OF the difficulties. He
laid the business depression at John
Sherman's door, a man who on $1,000
salary had managed to accumulate a
fortune of 100000. "The fault is
not with the tariff policy Of this gov
ernment, but is to be found in the
contraction of the currency" said the
Governor. He thought the consumer
ought to be protected rs well as the
producer, and the only way to give
him protection was to allow him to
buy where he can do so at the cheap
est price. His objection to the Wilson
bill was that it was too protective. He

The Great Seal,

It requires an order from the Presi-
dent Of the United States to procure
an impression OF the great seal of state.
Collectors of seals and autographs
frequently write TO the secretary of
State for copies of the seal Of State.
The same formal reply is sent to all of
them that under the law no impress
sions of the seal can 60 out of the de-
parlment unless they are affixed to
official papers. The President Of the
United States could give authority to
a collector to obtain an impression Of
the seal, but no President has ever
done so.

when We got the requisite number of
pictures we found they showed with a
slight tremor when we put them in
the kinetoscope. That was because
they had not been focused exactly the
same. If one picture is thousandth
part of an inch out Of the exact lines
of the preceding picture, the sensitive
eye instantly notices a tremor of the
picture which effectually destroys the
illusion.
THAT is the whole story" continued
the inventor. "The various devices
for properly displaying the photograph
ing machine was the difficult thing.
The various devices for properly dis-
playing the moving scenes is OF second
ary Importance, mere feat in simple
mechanics which anybody can do.
You have seen the nickle-in- the slot
machines. Funny toy, with or with
out chloroform, but that is not what
I'm after. I'm going to do what set
out to do. My experiments have been
directed toward this end:
"First, to mount the photographs
on glass plates and throw the pictures
by means OF magic lantern on q
screen. Then, instead of looking into
= peep-hole, large lumber of specta-
tors might watch the moving pictures.
Second, to combine the phonograph
with the kinetoscope while the figures
have visible motion and their words
might be heard plainly by the audi
ence. am prepared to announce that
this throwing of pictures upon screen
has actually been accomplished in my
laboratory and we have had the figures
in motion there, 80 that the eye could
detect no change from one picture to
another.
"There are various improvements
yet to be made, however, before this
form OF the kinetoscope will be ready
for the public. When these things
are all accomplished, as they will be
sometime, it will be possible to catch
every gesture of Chauncey NJ. Depew
delivering an after-dinner address
and every infection OF his voice, and
to exhibit both to admiring audiences
q hundred years after he is dead. It
will be possible to see and hear grand
opera by stereoptican. This has been
largely work of sentiment, and on
my part don't believe there is much
money in it, but l believe it is the in.
terest of science and history. A great
r'an will neuer die IL h;s pictures end
speeches are saved by the kinetograph
phonograph."

Resumption Of railroad building in
Washington is likely to begin early in
the spring. c. B. Wright, the Phila-
delphia millionaire and owner of the
Washington and Columbia River rail
road. which controls the wheat bust.
ness of the Walla Walla section, has
employed an Eastern engineer to
make final surveys for the Tacoma
Eastern Railway, which is to be built
southwest from Tacoma, to connect
with the Columbia River Railroad
at Walla Walla. The new line will
open up a rich farming country, new
coal fields, silver and lead mines.
This new line will traverse the Ms.
qually and Mashel river country to
the Cowlitz pass. The coal deposits
OF that section are extremely promis-
ing, the coal being, it is claimed
superior to the deposits along the
Northern Pacific line, and resembling
the Vancouver island deposits at
Nanaimo and elsewhere. The mines
are chiefly the property of the Mis-.
qually Coal Company, in which Theo-
dore Hosmer, I. w. Anderson and
others of Mr.. Wright's friends are
largely interested. The road would
be able to depend upon three things for
its revenue-its regular traffic, opening
up new and fertile country, the coal
and tourist business, inasmuch as it
reaches the new Pacific forestry re.
serve, soon to be made a national
park. For these reasons the road is
regarded as being the best railroad
proposition in the State at present.

three inches, begin carefully to.keep

SELECTION OF SOIL.

When the young plants have four
leaves they must be separated, leaving
a single plant at distance from six to
eight inches apart in the rows, accord
ing to the fertility of the soil.
This work is OF the greatest import
ance, for If is delayed more than one
week after it should have been be-
gun the effect will be to reduce the
crop about one-third; therefore, the
greatest stress is laid on this part OF
the work, which must under no con-
sideration be neglected.

lately as last March, and Robert Snow.
1t should be remembered that the old

One of the difficulties in the cultiva-

the dry air and dust tend To clog the
pores of the leaves. Deprived of the
rain which would naturally cleanse
them and not often watcrcd with Il rose
pot or syringe the plants kept in a room
are apt gradually to lose their health
and look miserable, if they do not alto
gethor die. The best remedy for this is
the regular use Of ii small piece of soft
old sponge with slightly warm water.
and if little soft soap is added all the
better. Especially is this necessary in
the winter when dust is rife. and as
"blight' is then ut its weakest point a
thorough cleansing during the cold
months Will result in freedom from it
during tho summer. Practice and deli
cate handling are needed for success.
Some plants are much easier 10 sponge
