In other words, the principle is the

should be made most powerful at the
moment when the oar is at right angles
with the body, and therefore i'm the
position where the oarsInan's strength
counts for the most. II the bicycle il

PAIN AND PLEASURE.
Psychological Say They Cannot He Re
IN be red.

IL an ordinary person who has a,
some time III his career experienced the
miserles of toothache were asked IL h.
remembers the pain in question. there
Is very little doubt as To what his re-
Spouse would be. Cnquestionably ht
would say he remembered it. But this
incautious admission might lead at
once to controversial difficulties, for IL
appears that psychologists are in doubt
As 10 whether any one can under any
circumstances remember u toothache
or any other pain.
Ii seems desirable to follow this
statement at once with the assurance
that 1t Is not joke. Psychologists, as
a rule, are not humorists, and they
have NO thought of being funny when
they assert that pains and other sensa.
tons cannot be- remembered. Tho,. Of
them who hold this view are strictly in
earnest, and mean exactly what the
words imply in their sOberest sense.
They are perfectly aware that we com.
monty speak Of REMEMBERING pains, and
suppose that we do remember them.
But they contend that in such case we
remember not the pain itself but the
ideas that We're associated with the
pain. We remember. for example, that
we are unable to work becaus. we had
toothache; that we applied remedies
to it unsuccessfully; that finally we
went to a dentist and had the tooth ex
tracted, and at once gained relief. All
this we remember very wildly. a. every
one admits. But, it is said, we do not
retain IN our minds the slightest trace
OF the pain itself as memory, or Of
the sensation Of relief that came when
the pain ceased.
To the person not accustomed to
looking sharply into the darker corners
of his own mind this will no doubt
seem very unnecessary splitting Of
hairs. But the psychologists do not 40
regard it. They are discussing the
matter pro and con with good deal Of
vigor, this, being indeed. one Of the
controversies that go to make up the
current history Of that world apart in
which the philosophers live.
Another mote point Of perennial in.
terest to the philosophers is the aues-
ton as to what pain and pleasure real.
ly are, psychologically speaking. There
is opportunity for whole dictionaries
full OF controversy on that question.

more pleased with the result than you

or fork at the table, scarcely able to
walk too, and as he attempted il, he
often stumbled and fell They saw
him treated by the best talent to be had
but still he suffered on for four
years, and gave up finally in despair.
One day, however, he was struck bv
the account of cure which had been
effected by the use of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. He Immediately ordered a
box and commenced taking them. He
says he was greatly relieved within
three days time. The blood found its
way to his fingers and his hands which
had been palsied assumed natural color,
and he was soon able to use his knife
and fork at the table. He has recover
ed his strength to such an extent that

and do his regular work about his
home. He now says he can not only
walk to Woodstock, but can walk
across the mountains He is able 10
Int up tifty-two pound weight with

what DR.. Williams Pink Pills have
done for others, but knows that they
have done great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court

medicine that had given him so great
relief. He purchased another box and

REMARKABLE SPONTANEOUSLY
Girfs Self Prepared Plight Led to the
Suspicion Of . Terrible Crime.

Giri's Self Prepared Plight Led to the
Suspicion Of = Terrible Crime.
That was dreadful crime reported
from Toledo 10 days or so ago about an
outrage perpetrsted upon q girl by two
tramps. The valley papers have been
printing various comments and specu-
lations about it, and now the Elk City
correspondent Of the Corvallis Times
offers as authentic a version of the affair
which Is no less wonderful than the first
story. and If true, as it seems to be, es-
tablishes one of the most remarkable in
stances Of somnambulism or sleep walk
ing ever recorded. The account Is -
follows:
Miss Cora Mays, the l6year-old
daughter Of Mrs. Sam Dogan, resides
wit her family on the south side Of the
Yaquina river, six miles east Of Toledo.
Between l and 2 o'clock Friday night
during her sleep, and clad only in q
nightrobe, she arose from her bed and
walked out on the back porch. There she
secured an old oilcloth coat, and after
wrapping it around her picked up a
piece OF rope and started for the river,
100 yards distant. At the boat landing
she entered boat, rowed herself MP the
river about 400 yards and landed on the
opposite bank. After setting the boat
adrift. she climbed a steep bank on the
railroad track, where, with the rope, she
tied her lower limbs together, passed the
rope around her body twice over her
shoulder, and then tied her hands behind
her body. Then she hobbled up the rail.
road track for distance Of about three
quarters of mile and suddenly fell.
She was awakened by the fall, and al
though nearly paralyzed by cold and
fright started to retrace her steps.
Her cries Of distress soon alarmed the
occupants Of house near by, who came
to her rescue and found her still tied,
nervous. chilled and in the saddest of
very sad plights- She was taken home
at once. and then her family learned for
the first time that she had been absent
from the house and Of course accepted
her condition as the evidence that she
had been the victim of an abduction,
This was the news that first reached the
community, and enraged men secured
the vicinity for the supposed guilty par.
ties. Two tramps were arrested at Sum-
init on suspicion, and after staring de-
struction in the face for several hours
were finally released after establishing
an alibi
"A good sleep restored the young girl
to her normal condition, and thus what
appeared at first shocking crime was

bulist or sleep walker. Portland Orezo-
