Greek Musical Notation.

In time we may get a better idea Of
what was Greek musical notation and
their scales. 1t seems probable that more
than one scale was in use. In the recent
discovery at Athens it was n hymn to
Apollo which was found set to music. The
hymn ITSELF M. Homolle, the director OF
the French school at Athens, writes, has
little Of originality about it. 1t simply
develops a well known story-the birth OF
Apollo, his arrival at Delphos and, his com
bat with the serpents. There is in the
hymn what the French call "un couplet
de Circumstance, a prayer for Athens and
for the Romans. This would date the mu-
sic as belonging 10 the second century. Ii
might be said that the Greeks or Roman
lied Greeks followed NJ. Voltaire's saying,

Electric Railroad Mail service.

In establishing an electric railway
mail service Ottawa, Can, has made
a move which is likely to be followed
by many other progressive cities. The
mail cars are run on the ordinary city
lines, and are found to greatly improve
the house to house delivery of mail. as
well as the collection of letters from
lamp-post boxes. Each car is twenty
feet long, with vestibuled pla tforns
and is driven by a thirty horsepower
motor. The interior is provided with
the requisite facilities for loading and
unloading the pouches No sorting is
done on the car, SO that the usual
glass windows are dispensed with.
Each car is fitted with special alarm
gong, which gives a different sound
from the bells on the passenger cars,
ana so makes its approach known.
The service has turned out so well that
it is proposed to extend its operations
to suburban districts.

DIED.

Mr.. S. S. Johns, about 64:years of age
died this morning of an illness con-
tracted, it is thought, by large quag.
mire or>pool of standing water adjacent
to where he lived. The old gentleman
was generally known to our citizens as
the owner of band of wild geese, which
he tanned and in which he took great
pride.
The pool of water is endangering the
health of all who live in that vicinity,
and steps should be taken at once by the
city to drain it and disinfect the premises.
1t can be drained with little trouble and
expense, and is standing menace,
which would be obviated before this if
the lamented DIR. Rinehart, the deceased
mayor, was yet alive. The last great
aim OF his life was in battling against
these prolific causes of disease.

Dante's Imaginings Correct.

A correspondent of the Heppner Rec
ord says:
In regard to those pictures Mr.. Damp
man has been exhibiting of hell, he was
correct in saying he did not draw them.
They were drawn by gentleman on
Eight Mile, who heard him give a des.
cription of hell after one of his frances,
and having a copy of Dante's Inferno,
he took from the same two pictures that
were similar to what Mr.. Dampma had
seen and showed them to him. Mr..
Dampman said there was something of a
resemblance between them and what he
had seen, and put them in his pocket.
Persons who have been intimate with
Mr.. Dampman since his conversion,
affirm that he is not deceiver, and that
he has no intention of bringing anyone
to Christ other than by moral pur-
suasion.

One of the quaint remembrances of
Robert Louis Stevenson's south sea
life is that of his Honolulu mouse. A
small shelf hung over the couch
whereon he used to lie when i'll and
trying to forget his pain in sstooting''
on his fageolet. Out on this shelf. the
little mouse would venture, and soon
became so tame as to delight in the
novelist's caresses. If it got no i'm
mediate attention it would scratch on
the shelf and make little whine or
song to attract its friend, and after a
time it actually persuaded its spouse
to pay daily visit to the musician in
its company

Clerks. S. Hayes.
Sheriff-Wm. Holder.
Treasurer-H. A. Thompson.
Assessor-C. G. Kinney.

stead of April 1st, as at present.
The utmost harmony existed through
out the meeting and the party is gaining
ground steadily. Another republican
club was organized at Kent last week,
making six in the county, and still the
