low will be found couple of sample
paragraphs:
The street talk is somewhat
amusing 10 the amount of Doodle our
honorable representative, Daniel S.
Berry, has raked in durin. the noted
session OF the Legislature. Some say
it is 800, 900, others $4,000, while
some put more moderate estimate
at $4,000.
1T is rumored that Berry is going
west this week. Should i, be possi-
bic that he is going wet and grow
up with the country? II any advice
is acceptable we will suggest that
there is a good opening for him in

sent some very elaborate specimens Of

Tom Benton occupied for many years
in fact, until. his deati,-a responsible
position in thecouschold of Queen Vic
tnria. Benton, who Was Of humble birth,
was but lad at Brighton when his par
ents died within IL few months Of each
other. 1t was shortly after these events
when the queens attention was called
to the young boy under rather peculiar
circumstances.
One day, while Benton was gathering
shells CT the beach at Brighton to make
piDcushions, which he sold to the sum-
mer visitors, young boy, nicely dress
ed and about his own age, appeared
upon the scene and scattered, with a
vigorous kick, the accumulated shells.
Benton gathered up his treasures, and
placing then again III a pile warned tho
intruder that if he repeated The trick he
would give him good licking"
The kick yas repeated with ever E,orc
vigor than before, and the shells were
sent flying in every direction. True to
his word, the poor boy sorrdly
thrashed the stranger. 1t was q close
contest at first, as the lads wee quite
evenly matched, but the mere fully dc
veloped strength of Benton finally
brought kim OF victorious.

tions were asked the lad as to himself
and his family. The replies told the

had brought poverty to himself and his
brothers and sisters.
'This is the queen" said tic gentle
man, who was none ether than Prince
Albert, land the young man IN whom

to the prince, he continued: lyon must
send his young man To school and pay

quarrel
Thus it was that Tom Benton met the
queen of England. lie was sent to O
school about midway between Portland

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
Its Recent and Rapid Development Upon
the Continent.

Its Recent and Rapid Developments Upon
the Continent.
Before "a recent meeting of the Ameri-
can Institute of Electrical Engineers
Mr.. II. Ward Leonard delivered an in
teresting address upon electrical engi-
neering developments IN France and
England as contrasted with those in
America. II its commercial develop
Iaent of electricity America is placed
first-in fact, far in advance of the old
wor.- cuuntrics-but considered from an
engineering standpoint Mr. Leonard
thinks the United States is losing the
lead it has thus far held. He lays the
responsibility for this condition of affairs
almost entirely at the door of the great
electrical moncpolies, which have stood
in the way Of progress, and particularly
i'll preventing the trial of devices and
systems of which Europe presents varie-
ties unknown to us. He questions what
has been done i'll this country in the
way of electrical engineering develop
ment since Edison started his three wire
Lightning distribution at Sunbury, Pa,
in 1883, and Westinghouse established
his alternating system with LOCO volt
primary and 90 volt secondary a few
years later, and Sprague started the
Richmond electric railroad i'll 1887.
There has of course been great extension
of installation along these lines.
We have, Mr.. Leonard says, the best
three wire central station plants in the
world. Also the best alternating sys-
TEN, converting from 1000 to 80 volts,
but we have practically no other kind
Of central station to point to. We are
operating 800 volt continuous current
electric railways at distances for which
1000 volts should be used instead of
500, and after investing mnrc money in
copper per car than the entire cost OF tho
electrical equipment we still lose twice
rs mach energy as is commercial in the
line. In England in alternating systems
"a thrce wire secondary is used with 100
volts on each side, and, according to
Mr. Leonard's view, there was 10 ex-
cuso except patents for a so volt two
wiro secondary originally, and none
s-ye tie inertia and prejudice Of IL large
corporation for continuing to put in the
two wire secondary today.
Rotary transformers are used in sew
eral stations III England for {; ccntinu-
Gus current, high potential multiple arc
distribution, the secondary being a three
wire system, and some American invcr-
tons not patented in England are found
to have been utilized i'll central stations,

is disposed to view the matter very
lightly. He does not think that the

cally beaten. They began growing

4 FAMOUS COUPLED,
The Familiar Lines Which. Have Been At.
tributcd to Martin Luther


Nearly everybody is familiar in one
language CT another with tho famous
old German :ouplet attributed to Mar
tin Luther. and which literally and
properly translated into English is as
follows.
WHO loves not wire wife and son:
ECGialns d foot his whole life long
This supposed sentiment of the great
re!or,ner has been quoted thousands of
tunes rs his. and its authenticity was
bot questioned But now comes very
competent authOrity-The Lutheran OBJ.
server-a;id stoutly insists that Luther
never wrote the lines. and that, in fact.
they made their first appearance more
than goo years after his death.
According To The Observer. in the
year IA, we'll known German poet,
John Henry VoSs. Published 1T Ham
burg a small volume entitled "Musen-
alnauach {" The Almanac of the
Muses. At the ED of one of tho
poems in this bo9l; he placed the coup.
let III German.
Wer n:cl.t iiebt vein, web und rcsang
Der t!e:b. EN- narr scin lebenlang.
TIC this effusioE VGss affixed tho name
OF Luther This caused good deal OF
comment and excitement. Noss was q
candidate fer the position of teacher in
the Hamburg gymnasium. The Luther
al pastors OF the city protested against
his appointment because Luther was not
the author of the couplet" which had
been attributed to him, and because
Voss had thus made Luther encourage
intemperancc. But in spite of all that
could be done in the way Of denial and
explanation tie lines literally chung to
the great name and refused to bc sepa-
rated, and We venture to say that COM
parative!y few down TO the present day
ever doubted that Luther was their real
author.
As the couplet expresses the convivial
sentiments Of many Germans it is prob
able that it was a common piece of I'M
written German folklore even before
Luther's time. Some English writers
have made the lines into a bacchanal
rhyme. with a sinister meaning. but tho
true version, coupling wine, VITO and
song" expresses the prevailing senti-
ment and custom among Germans in
taking their wives and children with
them to the gardens and other social re.
sorts for recreation and amusement. -
