Had a Sail-Over.

Mentone, March 26.-The yacht race
for large raters for a prize of 1000
francs, in which the Ailsa and Britain
MIA were entered, resulted in a sail
over for the Ailsa today, the Britannia
not making her appearance. The lat
ter boat remained at Cannes, owing
to the fact that today was the birth
day of the Duke of Cambridge which
the Prince of Wales, the Britannia's
owner, spent with the duke.
The weather was dull and threaten
ing and the breeze light from the
southwest. The Ailsa sailed twice

SIMPSON SURPRISED.

Mr.. Simpson (Pop., Kan.) expressed
his surprise at the objections of the
Republicans to vote on this amend
ment. 1t was apparent to him that
they were much more concerned about
the falling off of the revenue of the
trusts than they were of those of the
government. (Applause.)
Mr.. Grosvenor (Rep., o. said it was
refreshing, absolutely refreshing, to
witness the change of the attitude of
the Democrats .s&ard trusts. The only
law ever passed against trusts was
publican president, passed by Re
publican congress and opposed by
Democrats. The late Democratic ad-
ministration apparently approved the
action of its attorney general, who re-
fused to carry out the law, saying that
ii could not be enforced. But the law
was developing under proceedings in
stituted by the Republican adminlstra-
ton of General Harrison, and the su-
preme court had just decided that it
WAS effective and of far-reaching i'm
portance. The Democratic party had
never done anything to disturb trusts;
they had never increased so rapidly in
the history of the government as dur
ing the four years of Democratic mis-
rule just ended. (Applause.)
Mr. Grosvenor said that after the
Republican party had passed the tar
if bill as it came from the committee,
it would go on legislating for the bene-
fit of the country, without advice. con-
sent or suggestion from the Demo-

CUBE ROOT MADE EASY.
How Any Bright Scholar May Learn
to Tell 1t ofrhand.

To find the cube root Of any given
number of figures ofihand seems an easy
number Of figures offhand seems an al
most impossible feat, but yet It is sim
pie enough when one knows how to do it
so simple, indeed, that any bright boy
can learn to do it in a few weeks.
First he must know exactly what a
cube is-namely, that :, is the result of
multiplying one number by itself. and
then multiply the product ,by the origi-
nal number. Thus. multiplied by 8
equals 9, and multiplied by 5 the orig
inal number, produces %. which. conse-
quenty is the cube OF three The cube
root of % is the original number 3. and
to find the cube root is the reverse of
finding the cube. The would-be adept at
this art should first study carefully the
oil
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1897-09-02
following figures,

| A close study Of these figures shows
that multiplied in this manner by itself
results in 5, that s multiplied by Itself
has . as a final figure. that multiplied
by Eself has as a final figure. that Z
multiplied by itself has as a final fig
TIRE. and that 4, 5. and multiplied by
themselves have their original figures as
finals. Hence the 'iartist" knows that
any sum given to him, the final figure
of which ia s, must have as cube
root; that If the final figure be O. rhe
cube root must be 9, and so on.
For example, give him the figures a.
OSS and he can AT once tell that is the
cube root for the reason that "A has
as a cube root, as the cube of is Ga,
while the cube of is 125 much more
than a. and OSS has as a cube root.
Or give him a more difficult problem
as. for example, the figures S24, 1863. Then
he will see at ak glance that S24 is
more than 2l6, which is the cube Of 6,
but 1t is loss than s4S the cube of I;
threfore the cube root Of these three
figures is G. In like manner the final
figure of $50 being 3, II follows that the
cube root of these three figures is g. and
thus the cube root of the six figures has
been shown to be 50.
Any one can test this method for him
self, and a little practice is all that IS
needed to make one as deft in such Jug !
glery Of figures as the best lightning
calculator"
of course a skilled mathematician could |
easily frame problems that could not be /
solved In this on-hand fashion. but such |
difficult tests are seldom offered by public
audiences, and, as a, rule. the ARTISTS"
are easily able to answer all the ques-
tions aske of them.-N. Y. Herald.
