Points in Palmistry.

An interesting discussion has sprung
up among the palmists in regard to the
line of the hand known as the mar
riage line. One recognized authority
says that when this line curves upward
the possessor is not likely to marry at
all. Other experts say they know
many married and happy people with
such line. 1t is also alleged that the
transverse line on the chill of Mer-
curry" which one party says is the mar
riage line, is not SO considered by the
Chirological society. ''Our opinion -
says the editor of the party organ, els
that these lines are signs of attach
ment, and there is scarcely hand ever
seen without at least one in the hand
of either married or unmarried people. -
The people of Red Bluff, California,
have subscribed $4,000 toward building
a railroad from the Oregon Short line in
Eastern Oregon, through Lake county,
Oregon. and Modoc, Shasta and Tehama
counties, California, and thence to tide
water. Other counties will also sub
scribe literally. The road will tap all the
valleys of Eastern Oregon and North
western California, with probably a
branch connecting klamath Fails. Such
system would open up vast, fertile
country and prove of general benefit.

BADLY FRIGHTENED.

The Tragic End of "a Peculiar Ghost Phe-
nonenon. ~
Innumerable experiences prove that
all ''ghost stories have a rational ex-
planation, and that some natural cause
can be found for any seemingly super
natural occurrence. Sometimes it re-
quires great coolness and self-posses-
sion to remember this, but the effort to
do so is worth making, for it may save
life or reason. \ striking illustration
of this was the tragic experience of a
Dutch painter, named Penteman, who
lived in the eighteenth century.
Penteman had a commission which
required the portrayal of skeletons.
death's-heads and other objects in
tended to inspire contempt for the
frivolties and vanities of the time.
In order to haveN models before him
he painted his picture in an anatomic-
al museum. One day he had been
slxetching The ghastly objects which
surrounded him, when he fell asleep.
Suddenly he was awakened by an
extraordinary noise. He was Mortified
to see all the death's-heads nodding
and grimacinP. and the skeletons dane
ing about, and waving tn cir deshless
arms madly in the air.
Penteman fed from the frightful
scene, and escaped into the street. He
was picked up unconscious and half
dead with fright.
AS soon as he was rational, it was
explained to him that there had been
an earthquake, and that that had
caused the commotion among the an
atomical specimens, but the shock had
been too severe, he died in few days.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL

The next order of business was the
nomination of an Attorney General.
D. S. Dorm of San Francisco, in a
highly eulogistic speech, named Judge
Fitzgerald.
Mr.. Savage of San Francisco seconded
the nomination Of Judge w. L. Fitzger-
aid.
Mr.. Lennon of Sonoma named Thos.
L. Carothers.
Hornesby of Tulare County named
Oregon Sanders. He said all the hay
seeds of Tulare County wanted him.
Monroe of Humboldt seconded the
nomination of Thos. L. Carothers. He
claimed that the northern part of the
State should not be ignored entirely.
Judge Daily of Ventura spoke warmly
for Judge Fitzgerald.
Drury Melone said he was a delegate
from Tar Flat, where they polled more
votes with fewer voters than any district
in the State. They also collected ten
times the political funds that any other
district did and always spent it where it
did the most good. He said Judge Fitz-
gerald was the choice of all his constitu-
ency.
The candidates were called to the stand,
made their bow and subscribed to the
platform. Oregon Sanders said he did
not suppose he would be successful, but
if defeated he would go down in good
company. He then paid high compli-
ment to Judge DeHaven and others who
had failed in their aspirations.
Thomas l.. Carothers made a strong
speech in which he presented the claims
of Northern California.
Judge Fitzgeraid's speech was full of
patriotism and oratorical flights that
elected rounds of applause.
Alter the roll-call was completed, but
before the result was announced, some
fifty of the votes credited to Oregon San
ders were changed to Carothers, but it
was of no avail, for Judge Fitzgerald had
good safe majority. The vote was:
Fitzgerald 482, Carothers 343, Sanders IL.
The vote in detail was as follows:

Speed of Electricity.

The fact is generally known that, 40.
cording TO the experiments of the late
Professor Uoi"rich Err'y ~ Bonn. the
velocity with which electricity is prop
agated is nearly identical with the We
loci, = Of light The id.ntity may be per
feet, but experiments have as yet failed
to prove it so.
In recent communication TO the
French Academy of Sciences, NJ. Mas,
cart has shown that the mean velocity
of electricity, as deduced from expert
ments, is l8S, ls5 miles per second.
This is about ! per cent greater than
the velocity Of light, which is ls6. 300
miles per second.
1t is believed that if light and cleo
tricity do move with exactly the same
speed the velocity ascribed to light more
closely represents that speed than the
velocity ascriled to electricity, because
the experiments are most satisfactory
and probably more accurate in the case
of light. ht.-Youth's Go upanion.

An Opera Suggestion.

In view of the fact that a very large
audience will view the performance OF
the Calhoun Opera company at Fire
mans hall from seats on perfectly fiat
floor, it is evident that the majority of the
spectators will be somewhat handicapped
in viewing the stage and the conditions
will be great deal worse il the ladies
who attend have their heads decorated
with the high and wide creations that
are called hats. With fair sprinkling
OF these throughout the audience it will
be impossible for those seated half way
back TO see anything at all on the stage
which would be manifest injustice to
those who sit behind: it is therefore
urged by the JOURNAL that the ladies'
adopt some style of headgear on this oc-
casion that will not obstruct the view
or else make an opera toilet 80 far as the
head is concerned and go without hat.
