Patrick Henry Winston, the spawned
Republican war horse. who was con
verted" to Populism few days ago, had
his wire pullers at work for the East Side
congressional nomination. A few of the
Seattle and Spokane delegates were the
only ones who championed him, and at
the last moment he discreetly refused to
allow his name to go before the conven-
ton. Since the nominations he has been
kept busy nursing his frost-bitten am

the heads of all Populists.

Charles W. Dayton In North American Review.
There are in London eight district
postoffices, each in charge of postmas-
ter. Within the delivery district of
each of these offices there are from 40 to
173 branch and sub postoffices. the aggre-
gate number of which is 79S-making q
total of sos offices, at all of which stamps
may be purchased and letters and parcels
posted. and at nearly all of which money
orders are issued and paid. letters may be
registered, and life insurance annuity and
savings bank business may be transacted.

SOME RECENT INVENTIONS.

A patent has been granted In Auckland,
New Zealand, for a net to catch whales.
The mesh is big enough for calf to pass
through, and it Is said TO have lbeen used
already with great success.
Some months ago a Dublin inventor
claimed for a preparation of his that it
would preserve eggs in perpetual freshness.
To thoroughly test the efficacy of the in
vention, which, ii successful, would revo-
lutIonize the egg market, an experiment
was carried out at the Freeman offices. A
sample of eggs immersed in the patent
solution. which is thin grayish paste of
the consistency of honey, have remained
undisturbed there for a period OF four
months. and when opened the other night
In the presence OF experts were found to
be all perfectly fresh.
The latest new thing under the sun, -
says the New York Recorder, 10 an auto
matte cradle rocker, or swing pusher, de-
signed to be operated by the cry Of the
infant 1t Is done on the principe of vi
bration. For instance, il is said that If all
the cables in the Brooklyn bridge could be
made to vibrste in unison, the molecular
disturbance would be sufficient to vibrate
the structure from its foundations. So
with the new invention. the voice of the
infant sets in vibration a diaphragm which
communicates with sympathetic chords of
sufficient intensity to impart a motion to
the cradle or swing. The only thing nee
essary for the inventor to do is to adjust
the chords of the apparatus to harmoEiZe
with the infants vocal chords.

Mrs. M. NJ. Armstrong, of Cor
wallis, has been appointed to the
position of matron at the Siletz
Indian school. She will be quite
well remembered by many of our
readers as proprietress of a restau-
rant at Corvallis.
A good laugh is being enjoyed
at the expense of the late republican
county convention, by the reason
of their heartily endorsing the
Chicago platform of 1892. 1t will
be remembered that this platform
was built by the convention that
nominated Grover Cleveland for
president. The best of 'em are
liable to make slips.
A monster petition was presented
to the county court at its last term
asking for the erection of bridge
across Eckman slough on the road
which is being opened up from
upper to lower Alsea valleys. The
petition contains in all 433 names,
48 of which are residents of the
road district in which the proposed
bridge is to be located. A few of
the petitioners are residents of
Benton county. This bridge is
much needed and if there is any
way possible by which the court
can see its way to build the bridge
the prayer of the petitioners should
be granted. AS it is now there is
no road down the AIsea river from
Tidewater to Waldport and if this
highway was opened it would bring
much traffic and travel in that way. |
