the representative from Lane county.
Charles LObdell is to get the appoint
ment for the hiatus Of a year in this
district in case the law holds good and
no election is held until November, 1902
The reformers are becoming suspicious
of the delay attending the Republicans
intention to test the law. They say that
the matter will drag along on the sur
face while the other fellows have an UNI
derstanding- They look upon the ex

Carver that the law is certainly uncon-
Etitudonal and on the next Judge

time the Republican county candidates

Their party organization will be in close
formation and have a big start of the
POpulists who would thus be called on

MO preparation. To prevent this the
movement has been begun in the Thirty

ance they would be put into service as

clined to do this.

LIGHT.

The revival and final establishment Of
the undulatory or wave theory of light is
one of the glories of the nineteenth CEN
fury, and the credit for 1t is due to Thorn
as Young, an Englishman, and Fresnel
a Frenchman. Newton had conceived
espoused, and, owing to the gresI author
ity OF his name almost fixed upon the
learned world the corpuscular or emission
theory. which assumes that all luminous
bodies emit streams of minute corpuscles
which are reflected, refracted, and pro-
duce vision. Many ordinary optical phe-
only with great difficulty, and some were
quite unexplainable. The transmission OF
a disturbance or vibratory motion by
means of waves, as In the case of sound.
was well-recognized principle, and
Young and Fresnel applied 1t most sue
cessfully to the phenomena of light Wave
motion, In a general way, is only possible
in sensibly continuous medium, such as
water, air, etc, and the theory that light
was vibratory disturbance transmitted
by means of waves necessitated the as
sumption of the existence of such a me-
dun throughout all space in which light
Travelled. What is known as the ethereal
medium, at first n purely imaginary sub
stance but whose real existence is prac
ticaliy established, satisfies this demand
and the hypothesis that light is trans-
