The young men who have been Sc
Iected to be examined for transfer from
the volunteers to the regular estab-
lishment, as we'll as those candidates
who receive appointments from civil
life, are coming against pretty severe
examination whenever they are sub
jected to the prescribed tests, says the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Times. These young men must
first show that their military record,
if they have one, is good; that is OF
the first consideration. If in this the
men can pass muster, is all right in
mathematics, and makes a decent aV-
erage in army and drill regulations, he
may depend upon getting his commits
sion. Then there is a very rigorous
physical examination, as thorough and
exacting as that to which recruits are
subjected The examination to ascer-
tain the educational qualifications of
the candidate include English gram
mar, mathematics with algebra, the
solution of equations Of the first de-
gree containing one unknown guam
tity; the use Of logarithms, the ele-
ments of plane geometry, plane trig-
onometry and surveying. Added to
this the candidate must tell what he
knows in answer to questions in geo.
graphy, outlines of general history and
history of the United States, the con-
stitution and the elements of inter-
national law. Physical aptitude and
moral character are considered. No
candidate Gill be passed who shall not
have attained an average of IS per
cent in each subject of examination,
and a general average of at least 20
per cent

1t is time that the city council should
take some steps toward increasing the
policemen. Two officers whose main
duty it is to patrol the town at night are
too few to preserve order. The hop
picking season is approaching and there
will be thousands of strangers, and
among them liberal sprinkling of
tough citizens that require police sur
veillance The town is now in the tran
sition period when it is too large for a
village and little too small for city ;
and marshal and two night watchmen,
however vigilant they may be, cannot
hope to patrol the business and resi-
dence blocks effectively. There should
be at least five policemen, and with reg
ular beats to patrol, minimum of dan
ger and maximum of order may. be
maintained. The council should act on
this hint at once.

AS TO MAcADAM.

The Boston Transcript has been max
ing some remarks that may be useful
here where the experiment of macadam-
lied streets is being tried. The compar-
tive radiation of heat from different
kinds OF pavements was recently tested
in Boston. The tests showed an aver
age temperature of 12il. degrees from
the wood pavement, 1l3 for asphalt, 115
for granite block, and 1925 for mac
adam. The Transcript says
The wood pavement appears to be the
hottest in the city and the macadam the
coolest. Asphalt is about ten degrees
cooler than wood and about ten degrees
hotter than macadam. The macadam
pavement retains the water after sprink-
ling longer than does the asphalt 1t is
much easier to keep the dust laid on the
macadam than it is on the asphalt.
Theoretically asphalt might be thought
to be less dusty than any other kind of
pavement, but practically it seems to be
worse than macadam in this respect on
account of the difficulty of keeping the
surface properly wet. Asphalt is GER
tainlv not the ideal hot weather pave
ment.
The ideal pavement is yet, OF course,
to be materialized; but government ex-
periments have borne out the opinion
held by the Transcript not only as to
limestone but with regard to basaltic
rock such as is being used on Yakima
avenue, which will pack and harden if
well watered and rolled.

Dude Minner-The way to capture the
monkey that is annoying the folks in the
east end Of town is to put cocoanut
on the ground where he roams. Cut a
hole in it large enough for him to put
in his open hand. When he gets his
hand full and attempts to withdraw it
he will hobble around with the cocoanut
and can then be easily caught.
