VOLUNTEER FIREMEN.
1t is Natural. That Most Busi.
mess Men Should ApPre.
ciate Them

When one considers the benefit
that the members OF the fire depart
ment are to the city it il no wonder
that business men as aruleprOmptly
give the small amount occasionally
asked as Il benefit to the fire depart
raent. The members of the depart
ment are in readiness at any hour Of
the day ornight to rush to the work
Of protecting the property OF the
business men and citizens from de-
structiOn, and this work always at
the expense Of the personal comfort
and pleasure of the firemen, and
often at the expense of their lives.
The nominal payment of 25 cents an
hour is no indncement to persons to
join the department or to attend the
fires, and much less is 1t adequate
pay for their services. The few cents
received is no pay for the energy and
risks, and no one regards it as such.
The active firemen are such because
they recognize the necessity of an
organizad'bOdy OF men who are al.
ways at the command Of the city to
protect it from fires, and the motives
that influence them are the nOblest.
The work that they have done in
the past is such that everyone in
Little Falls must acknowledge their
value to the city. The firemen do
not ask: or expect any substantial
money considerations in payment
for their work, but they do expect
that when an opportunities afforded
the business men to Indicate some
apprccia ton of their work that there
will be ready response. And it is
pleasant to note that in nearly all
cases they are not disappointed.

ms how they answer for bicycle
travel.
A Portland lady has been visiting
friends at Roseburg, and a few days
since she started from there to visit
relatives living about thirty miles out
in the mountains. She is an energetic
and accomplished bicyclist, and got
along very wei on her journey for
about twenty-five miles, when the road
gave out. She found a trail which she
followed for about a mile, when she
came to a foot log over a narrow but
deep stream. She was afraid to try to
walk across the log with her wheel,
but, having confidence in her skill as
a rider determined to ride across.
When about half way something went
wrong, and she and the wheel plunged
into the stream and went to the bot
tom. She rose to the surface and be-
ing good swimmer, succeeded in
reaching the shore. She then deter
mined to have her wheel, which had
remained at the bottom. Securing a
long pole with a limb near the end
which formed a hook, she started in to
fish for her bicycle and after some
trouble yanked it out. The trail be-
yond the creek was level and in good
condition and, as night was approach
ing, she concluded to mount and make
desperate effort to reach her desti-
nation.
She had just got under good head
way and was scorching along when she
saw bear on the road ahead. The
bear seemed the worse scared of the
two, and stood staring in amazement
at the strange wheeled figure APP
preaching, the wet and dripping bloom
ers sticking closely to the limbs of the
lady rider giving her weird appear
ance. AS has been remarked, the
Portland woman was a skilled rider
and, having been accustomed to hav-
ing everybody clear the way for her,
she was not going to back down for a
bear, so she charged down on him at
full speed, ringing her bell like mad
The bear, seeing certain death or six
months in the hospitable inevitable,
wheeled out of the path and the lady
whirled by in a blaze of golden glory.
She didn't stop to look back but put
her best foot forward" and fortunate
ly soon arrived at the house of her
friends. She didn't attempt to come

these effects while depriying them of
the illusions which might be allied
with them IL order TO ascertain that
they could be due to no other cause.
II was q long and exciting examina-
ton. at the end Of which the commits
sioners made their report, concluding
as follows:
THE commissioners have ascertained
that the animal magnetic fluid is not
perceptible by any Of the senses, that
1t has no action either on themselves
or on the patients subjected to it. They
are convinced that pressure and con-
tact effect changes which are rarely
favorable TO the animal system, and
which injuriously affect the magma
ton. Finally they have demonstrated
by decisive experiments that imagin-
alton. apart from magnetism, produces
commissions and that magnetism with
out imagination produces nothing"
The commission condemned in the
strongest language all such exhibitions
of this mysterious influence in public.
In this these ancient scientists and
physicians were wise. They made a
tremendous mistake, however, in con-
cluGing that because no evidences of a
