ELECTRIC FIRE ESCAPE
Oregon Insane Asylum TO Be Equipped
With the First on the Coast.
Inmates viii Simply Jump in and Let
Go and BE Swiftly but Gently Lower
ed to Terra Firms.

Inmates of the Oregon insane asylum
at Salem soon will be practically guar
anteed against death by fire in that in.
stitution. Also the asylum will have the
distinction of being equipped with a new
variety of fire escape, the like of which
has never before been seen on the Pa
cifC coast.
The Northwest Electric Engineering
Company, of Portland, has secured a
contract for installing at the asylum a
Kirker- Bender fire escape, and will con-
summate the work in the near future.
This apparatus is wonder. 1t consists
of cylindrical shaft six feet in dame
ter, set up outside of the building with
openings to every floor. Inside is a spiral
chute or slide. All that is necessary for
a person wishing to escape from a burn
ng building to do is to open the door to
this fire escape, sit down on the slide
and let go. The slide is so constructed
that it controls the speed of the body
descending, the speed being no greater
at the bottom than at the beginning of
the descent. This has been practically
and publicly demonstrated at various
places in the East where these escapes
are in use. Fully 100000 trips have
been made through them and no one
has been the least hurt, nor is there any
possible chance for any one to ever get
injured.
The entrance doors have projecting
frames so that they can open inward
and not interfere with the slide. These
doors close automatically to prevent the
entrance of smoke and heat. The exit
doors open outward. A very light pres
sure of any object sliding against it
opens an automatic latch on these doors.
The slide comes within Is inches of the
ground. Escaping persons get up as if
arising from n chair on reaching the
exit.
Escaping from a burning building by
means of this device wilt be a pleasure.
1t will be like enjoying toboggan slide.
Inmates OF buildings can slide gently
to the ground instead OF clinging wildly
in midair TO the old-style ladder, and
being suffocated with smoke and
scorched by flames.
Even the most timid person, who
would shrink in terror at climbing down
the regulation fire escape, will easily
take 10 this new device.
A building on fire can be emptied
with this apparatus ar the rate of $50
persons per minute.

Deafness Cannot Be cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed condi-
tion OF the mucous lining OF the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have Il rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored 10 its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever ;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in-
famed condition Of the mucous surfaces.

The Weston Leader is red hot over
the election of d. V. S. Reid as presi-
dent of the Normal school at that city
and says:
But no. The Leader charges that j.
II. Raley, j. w. Scriber, J. w. Morrow
and w. q. Lynn, men OF prominence
and ability although the three former
may be considered, were false to their
trust as normal school regents. They
were not seeking to promote the best
interests of the school. People who are
familiar with the facts know this 10 be
true. The regents know il themselves
in their inmost hearts. 1t was 'iOb, "
of the kind that politicians love, but in
finitely worse than the usual stripe. 1t
was Job against the school system.
The four regents reelected TO the
presidency Of the normal school, for
which there were numerous other ap-
plicants, a man who is unsatisfactory to
the patrons Of the school, almost with
out exception. The school under his
management had been failure. They
gave him full control, almost equal to
the absOlutism of the Russian czar, and
he was responsible for its failure yet
they reelected him. They retained
the president, against whom there were
numerous wellgrounded complaints, but
dismissed the other members OF the
faculty, who were doing conscientious
satisfactory work.

A Protest.

At a meeting of the Ministerial Asso-
citation of Salem, Or, June 3, 1899, the
following minute was unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, the announcement has been
made public that what is known as the
Conductors Annual Picnic is to be held
at the State Fair Grounds, near the city,
on Sabbath June IL, which will result in
great desecration of the Sabbath, and
cannot bee otherwise than exceedingly
demoralizing to the community. There
fore we as ministers OF the gospel do
earnestly protest, and call upon the
Christian people Of our churches and
congregations To protest against such in-
trusion upon what We regard as vital to
the moral welfare of all classes.
BY order Of the Association,
REV. Ill. A. KETCHUM,
Secretary Protein.

The total state tax levy for the current
year is 80, 1873, 770.67, of which Van Buren,
county pays about 1-76 part, or, to be
exact, the sum of S2S 1880 There were
Al circuit judges in the state whose
salaries, paid out of the general fund
of the state, aggregate just S102,5O0
OF this sum, Van Buren, county pays
81, 344.9O. The formation of new cir
cult of the counties of Cass and Van
Buren,, leaving Kalamazoo and Berrien
each in a circuit by itself, makes an ad-
ditional circuit Judge and Van Burens
increased tax on account of his salary
amounts to exactly $3.50. The salaries
of circuit court stenographers are paid
by the counties composing the circuits.
In the old 9th circuit, the stenographer' s
salary was 81 800 of which Van Buren,
paid third and Kalamazoo two
thirds, the division being made by the
circuit judge, who apportioned the same
on basis of business transacted. In
the new circuit, the salary is fixed at
81 200, of which this county will pay its
proportion, on the same basis. 1t is very
evident that the question of additional
taxation is of but little Importance to
the people of Van Buren, county, and
that the expense to this county will re-
main practically unchanged.

Proposed Constitutional Amend.
mentS

The following proposed amendments to
the constitution of the state will be sub
mitted to the voters at the approaching
election to be held on Monday April, 3,
1899:
1. To amend section VI of article vi,
relative to circuit courts. This amend
ment, if adopted, will permit the legis-
lature to provide for an additionalcircuit
Judge for the st. Clair circuit, and is of
greater interest to the people of the city
of Port Huron and st. Clair county, than
to the rest of the state.
III. To amend sections 1, V, VIII, X, XII,
XIV, XIX and Xxx of article VI, relative to
courts. This amendment, if adopted,
will change the judicial system of the
state by the establishment of an enter
mediate" court between the circuit court
and the supreme court, which court
"shall have such appellate jurisdiction in
all matters, civil and criminal, from all
circuit courts and other inferior courts

SEVERAL of our exchanges, speaking of
Senator Humphreys local option bill.
say: This bill will be rushed through
in order that elections may be held next
month" AS the bill provides that the
question of prohibition shall be submit
ted only on petition of one third of the
qualified electors of a county, and only
after such petitions shall have been sub
mitted to the board of supervisors at a
regular or adjourned meeting, and that
the question can only be submitted at
the regular April town meeting, t will be
seen that there is no question of "rush-
ing" connected with the matter Under
the provisions of the bill there can be no
submission of the question in any county
prior to April, 1900.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1899-03-22

and tribunals, and supervising control OF
the same, a. may be prescribed by law"
There is no provision in the proposed
amendment as to the number of judges
that shall constitute this "intermediate"
court, as to the salaries they shall receive,
nor as to their terms of Office, except that
they shall be so classified that but one
Judge shall go out of Office at the same
time and that, after the first election,
there shall be one Judge elected every
two years.
III. To amend section XXI of article
Nv. This amendment, If adopted, will
compel the legislature to provide by
law for the establishment at the
city of Lansing, of state print
ing and binding establishment, in which
the printing and binding OF the laws
and journals, all blanks and print
ing for the executive department, and all
other printing and binding ordered by
the legislature shall be performed" The
constitution, as it now stands, provides
that all such printing shall be let by
contract to the lowest bidder who shall
give adequate and satisfactory security
for the performance of his contract.
Nv. To amend section XIX of article
" relative to the laying out, construction,
Improvement and maintenance of high
ways, bridges and culverts by counties
and townships. This amendment refers
to the county road system" and author
ICES the legislature TO modify, change or
abolish the powers and duties of town
ship commissioners and overseers of
highways and to prescribe the powers
and duties of boards of supervisors in
relation thereto and to provide for one or
more county road commissioners, limits
the amount of Indebtedness a county
may incur for any purpose to three per
cent of its valuation and to one-half of
one per cent unless authorized by a
majority vote. There is a proviso that
"any county road system provided by law
shall not go into operation in any county
until the electors of said county, by a
majority vote, have declared in favor of
adopting the county road system" The
proposed section, while similar to the
present one, is somewat briefer and
confers greater powers on the legislature
and gives less authority to the board of
supervisors.

A REMARKABLE feature of the spring
ton that seems to be paid to the import
ant position of commissioner of schools,
which is to be filled at the approaching
election. 1t may be because the voters
of Van Buren, county have thoroughly
made up their minds what course is the
proper one to pursue, and it may be that
the Importance of this matter has not
been called to their attention. 1t seems
to us it would be great mistake for the
people this year to do anything else in
this matter than reflect Wells G.. Brown.
His experience of the last two years will
be of great benefit and value to the peo-
pie in the two years that are to come.
Personally, Mr.. Brown is above reproach.
Internationally, he is fully equipped for
all the duties of the position. Politically,
he is in harmony with majority of the
voters. If Mr. Brown was entitled to
years ago. in view of his experience he is
now doubly entitled to the election, and
especially so in view of the fact that his
opponent is a man who has not been in
timately in touch with educational
affairs. 1t seems to us the choice between
the candidates is so marked that there
can be no doubt whatever as to the
result. Mr.. Brown has made an excep-
tionally good official and should be re-
tanned.

And there are periods in the life of states

quacks, with lying diagnoses of national
liver complaint and municipal paresis.
