IT is generally believed that the
failure of fruit which results from con-
tinuous rains during the blooming
period is due to the prevention of fer
tilizaton. 1t IS sometimes said that
the pollen is washed away before it
has had time to do its work. The
fact that the pollen is vet prevents it
from being blown about and the rains
keep the bees and other pollen carriers
from working on the flowers. It is
hard to explain why, under the cir
cumstances, a few orchards are found
upon which there is d good stand of
even Italian prpnes this year in the
ralniest portions Of Oregon. A fruit
grower whose orchard is near Barlow.
OREGON, reports that the Italian prune
trees III his orchard and the orchard
OF one of his neighb0rs arc loaded with
fault although in all other orchards in
that vicinity the trees are dare Of
fruit. Why this is the case is an in

APROPos OF the widespread interest
in the respiration calorimeter" ex-
periments conducted by Professor
Atwater at the Wesleyan University,
the Review Of Reviews for June pub
fishes an exhaustive account OF Prof.
Atwater's investigations on the sub
iect OF foods. It is not generally
known that this inquiry is being pros
ecuted under the auspices OF the ma
tinnal government The Review arti
Gle sums up the results thus far reached.
1t has been found that as people we
are extravaganza in the purchase of
foods, that we consume too much ia t
and too little OF the flesh forming sub
stances, such as the gluten OF wheat,
that we suffer from operating, and
that our methods Of cooking are gen
orally faulty. As~to the prospects of
food supply for future populations, the
conclusion is very optimistic. 1t is
believed that the densest population
, will never he able to consume the veg
etabie growths made possible in the
FIXTURE to say nothing Of artificial
manufacture Of foods.

And a good appetite go hand in hand.
With the loss Of appetite. the system
cannot long sustain itself. Thus the
fortifcation OF good he Ith are broken
down and the system is liable to at
taclls OF disease. 1t is in such cases
that the medicinal powers Of Hoods

sands who have taken Hoods Sarsa-
pnrillA testify to lis great merits as d
purifier Of blood, It's powers to restore
and sharpen the appetite ana promote

what Hoods Sarsaparilla does that
tells the story and constitutes the
strongest recommendation that can be
urged for any medicine. Why not
take Hoods Sarsaparill now?

: MANY persons, whom We have heard
say that the capitol would never be
bullt-at Olympia, have probably
guessed pretty close 10 the truth. The
people OF the state voted on The propo-
sition some years ago and hoped that t
was settled for ali time, but the powers
that-be were evidently not satisfied,
for, while there was never any open
opposition, a great many obstacles
have quietly developed to hinder and
delay the new capitol building. Ii is
probable, under The law as it is fram-
ed, that no enc will he found willing
to take up the capitol warrants.
