THE HIGHEST SENSE.
A Scientist Says That 1t Is That Of
Sight.
f. C. DUERsoN.

Sight.
l wish to call especial attention to
the fact that it is only late in the his
tory of the race that language has
passed 10 its written form. Man is
indeed now a reading and writing an
imal, but only recently has he be-
come so. 1t is only since the inven-
tior Of printing and the dissemina-
ton of books, magazines and newspa-
pers that reading has become real
determining factor in the life of the
people. Even now the human organ
ism is engaged in adapting itself to
the new strain brought upon the eyes
and fingers in reading and writing.
We can understand, therefore, that it
will demand considerable maturity
in the child before he isready for that
which has developed 80 late in the his
tory of therace. The language of the
child, like that of primitive man, is
the language of the ear and tongue.
The child is talking and hearing
animal. He is ear-minded. There
has been in the history of civilization
steady development toward the
preponderating useypf the higher
senses, eliminating with the eye.
The average adult civilized man is
now strongly eye-minded, but it is
necessary only to 60 back to the time
of the ancient Greeks to find a decided
relative ar-mindedness. Few labora-
tory researches have been made upon
the relative rapidity of development
of the special senses in children, but
such as have been made tend to con-
firm the indications of the Couture
epochs" theory, and to show that the
auditory centers develop earlier than
the visual.--Prof. G.. z. w. Patrick,
in Popular Science Monthly.

Now Doing Garrison Duty at San
Fernando.
Can Hardly Stand the Oppressive
Heat.

| Manils, 7. J., June %, $780,
Dear Mother: Your letter came yes
terday and was glad indeed to re-
ceive it. We have been on cam
paign through the country for over q
month, and did not get our mail be-
cause we were too far from the rail-
road. Now we are in the town of
San Fernando, after marching and
lighting over $50 miles we expect to
stay here quite awhi as the rainy
season soon starts and then we can do
nothing hardly on account of the mud
and water.
When we first arrived / was worn
out completely and felt very bad, but
now my health has repaired by the
rest, and l feel all right again. The
only thing worrying me now is the
very hot weather. 1t is so hot in the
middle of the day that the natives do
not work at all, and the Americans
are following the same practice.
We now do garrison duty and it is
much better than guarding around the
firing line. Not long since the Filipi
nos attacked us in force, trying to re-
take the city. but we drove them back
by killing 200 and wounding more.
|
This stopped their attacking until
few evenings ago. They tried again
but failed. We do not know how
many were killed as it was dark.
Tell Luther Ogg that was glad to
get the paper he sent and he may
print anything of interest from my
letters with your consent. will send
you paper printed here and you can
read the real 9 counts of our situation.
am surprised to hear of so many
fires in town. Somebody must be
trying to burn you all out of house
and home.
One of our boys from Kentucky got
shot in the hind while back, but he
is all right now. got a Craze across
the forehead by a Mauser bullet over
at the Pssig river, but it didn't hurt,
and the firing was so hot never nc
| ticed it.
Lots of the boys, badly wounded,
beg to stay on firing line-no wonder
the American soldier is victorious.
Yes, Hadley and Firstly are here,
and both friends of mine. Hadley is
in "a" Co., and Frisby in "E." Both
are we'll and happy.
Well, l must close. Answer soon.

Owned BY Admiral Sampson.

Gold Bible Hill, the mound where
Joseph Smith, the founder of the
Mormon faith, claims to have dug up,
under celestial direction, the golden
plates on which was inscribed the
Mormon Bible, is situated on the
farm of Admiral Sampson, near Pal
myra, N. Y. The Mormons tried to
buy the mount in 1893 to erect upon
it a memorial chapel, but the admiral
refused to sell.

A Notable Improvement.

Four blocks west of the track on Yak
ina avenue have been graded and the
improvement is a noticeable one looking
up the avenue west The contractor,
William McKivor, like he does all his
public work, has finished this portion of
the avenue in thorough manner. 1t is
imperative, however, that the loose soil
on the rocks should be thoroughly damp
ened, and then the dirt will not be blown
away by the first stiff breeze. 1t is de-
signed to open the avenue out to Mob
Hill, about nine blocks further, which
will make that thoroughtare at once the
main artery of the city as we'll as grand
boulevard. Contractor McKivor has al
ready begun to grade Ahtanum avenue
for seven blocks.

Serious Runaway.

A runaway occurred last Sunday on the

fatally. The two Lowery boys and their
two sisters were in hack returning from
the CongI egational church on the All
tanum. When near their home the horses
became frightened and ran away. The
occupants were thrown to the ground.
The young men were bruised somewhat,
but both of the young ladies sustained
severe cuts across the face by being
thrown against a barbed wire fence.
The ladies came to town and had the cuts
treated by a surgeon. They remained
overnight at the Presbyterian parsonage,
returning next day much improved. Drs.
Frank and Dulin dressed the wounds:
