QUESTIONS THEY ASK.
Unregistered Voters The Answers
Many SEE king reformation.

many SET Klng lGOl nation.
At the clerks office, Mr. Waters
and Deputy Moses are daily piled
with questions about voting. Un-
registered persons, and persons who
have changed their residence make
inquiries concerning the require
ments of the regis tration law In
their individual cases. The mails
from various parts of the county
also bring letters of inquiry on the
same subject. On account of the
frequency Of these inquiries, it is
evident that the few short months
since the springtime registration
have worked many changes of resi-
dence, and that large humber of
votes will be cast by the use of
blank A.
The questions asked are various.
They cover the whole range of reg
istration requirements. AT the re-
quest of the TIMES, Clerk Waters
has kindly prepared list of ques-
tons that are asked him, and of the
answers to them. In the list, every
unregistered voter, or registered
voter who has changed his residence.
will find information to fit his case,
and the information afforded is cor
rect and reliable, fol the reason
that it is prepared by an authority
on the subject. Following are the
usual questions and their answers:
1st.-If not registered can I vote
at the November election?
Answer.-Yes; ifqualifed and by
the use of blank A, filled out SO as
to specify the fact and subscribed

county to take and subscribe to the
second oath on the said blank A.
2d.-Suppose I have registered
in another county in this state, now
reside here, can | have my registra-
ton changed?
Answer.-No. There is no pro-
vision in the law for changing the
registration of an elector from one
precinct to another after the closing
of the register May 18th last; neltb.
er does it provide for certificate of
registration from the clerk or other
officer.
3d.-In that case how do I vote?
Answe-.-By the use of said
blank A above mentioned.
4th.-Then college students, al
though registered in other parts of
the state are entitled to vote here
at this election2
Answer-Yes, whether registered
or not, if of age, citizens of the U.
S. and residents Of this state for six
months last past, by using said
blank A.
- 5th.-Where can / procure blank
A and is it not necessary for ME to
wait until the day of election be-
fore having it subscribed to?
Answer-You can procure blank
of the county clerk without cha :ge,z
and have same filed out and oath
administered by Notary Pubic,
Justice of the Peace, or County
Clerk before election day; or by
the Judges Of election on that day.
6th-Suppose I have registered
in Corvallis precinct No. 1. but now
reside in Corvallis No. 4, where do
[ vo e?
Answer.-As you are not confined

JUDGE sTuART's ADDRESS.

Not less effective was the address
of Judge Stuart. It was necessarily

that remained. It was ten O'Clock
when he began speaking. His re-

though he spoke briefly of imperial

corded closest attention. Judge
Stuart said that his party made no
war on capital. he had relatives
and friends who were bankers and
capitalists. They were as honest
and as good as any other class of
people; but he denied that as
class they had monopoly of the
virtues of humanity. He wanted
capital to have an exactly equal
right with the masses and with la
Dor; but he wanted it to have no
special privilege; no undue advan-
tage. That, he said was the posi-
ton of Mr.. Bryan, and of those who
supported him. It was the position

son, and of all other men whose

CABLING WITHOUT WIRES.
Tesla, kbe Famous Electrician, oe-
seribes the Method of Its Ae-
eomplishment.

OF the future of wireless telegraphy
Nikola Tesla says in Century:
STATIONARY waves in the earth mean
something more than telegraphy with
out wires to any distance. They will
enable us to attain many important
specific results impossible otherwise.
For instance. by their use we may pro-
duce at will. from sending station,
an electrical effect in any particular
region of the globe; we may deter
mine the relative position or course OF
a moving object, such as a vessel at sea,
the distance traversed by the same, or
its speed: or we may send over the
earth wave of electricity travelling at
any rate we desire. from the pace of
turtle up to lightning speed.
with these developments we have
every reason TO anticipate that in a
time not very distant most Geographic
messages across the ocean will be
transmitted without cables For short
distances we need a wireless tele-
phone, which requires no expert OPP
orators. The greater the spaces to
be brldged, the more ratlonal becomes
communication without wires. The
cable is not only an easily damaged and
costly instrument, but it limits us in
the speed of transmission by reason of
a certain electrical property insep-
arabic from its construction. A prop
erly designed plant for affecting CON-
munication without wires ought to
have many times the working capacity
of cable, while ii will involve incom-
parably less expense. Not long time
will pass, believe, before communica-
ton by cable will BECOME obsolete, for
not only will signaling by this new
method be quicker and cheaper, but
also much safer. BY using some new
means for isolating the messages which
l have contrived an almost perfect pri-
yacy can be secured"

Experiments Showing How 1t Can BE
Avoided by Control OF
the Senses.

Anatomical experiments have shown
that the weight of the body is about
equal TO the same bulk of sea water
SO that persons falling overheard who
cannot swim, If they do not attempt
to keep more than their mouth out OF
water. can sustain themselves for a
considerable length of time. Most per.
sons who fall into the water lsse their
presence of mind, and either draw
their hands up or wildly dash them
through the air and water. OF course
the instant the weight of the arms is
added to the weight of the head above
the water the body sinks, and few rep
etitions of this ends in another acct

with the hands and feet under the wa.
ter would have preserved life. What
all persons should impress upon their
minds is this: That in case they should
fail overheard they must retain con-
troll of their senses, the hands and arms
must be kept under water, and the feet
and hands kept in motion to sustain
the head out OF water. So long as
the mouth and nostrils do not get sub.
merged there is no danger.

that the kite was repeatedly borne
down TO within about so feet of the

the kite, but did not overweight il. At
five p. m. the electric connection with
the steel wire was severed from the

of the brush discharge could be plainly
heard, followed by one-inch spark
Mr.. Eddy says that the electrical actiy-

that she was weeping. He asked the

that she had never loved him, never

father. I love Mr.. Douglass she
