Electric Lioht Not Harmful.

A Russian specialist has decided
that, contrary to the general opinion.
electric light plays less havoc with
the eyes than other forms of artificial
light. He bases his deductions on the
fact that disease and damage to the
eye are proportioned to the frequency
of the closure of the lids. He found
that the lids close in a minute 6.S
times with candle light, 2.S times with
gas light, 2.2 times with sun light and
J8 times with electric light.

He was saying: "As the pearly col

my heart rises to thee. AS the sum

Bro. Cutcheon, of the Portland OBJ
server, runs a non-partisan paper but
devotes much space to political mat
tiers. Some things he hits off pretty
we'll but like other individuals he is
not infallible, and if he had been
present at the recent senatorial con
vention in Bedding he might have un-
derstood some things a little better
and would have changed his write-up
of the same somewhat. The Mont
calm county delegates did not play
any game at all but were open and
square and done what other sensible
men would have done under similar
circumstances. They were ready at
any time to join with Ionia county in
nominating any good man they could
agree upon but as long as Ionia coun-
ty was so evenly divided they were
not willing to settle the dispute and
take the kicks and curses that would
be sure to follow from the defeated
side. Mr.. Laflamboys name was not
presented by them to the convention
as candidate, but they voted for him
pending a settlement of the dispute
in this county, and he was nominated.
There was no Bliss or anti-Bliss in it
at all, Ionia county should have had
that nomination but there is one con-

in convention, seldom make mistake
in their selections.
The city of Bedding is entitled to
two places on the ticket and will ask

nized by the county in any manner
except IN praise for the large repub-
lican majorities it always rolls up.
Bouquets of this kind thrown at us
are appreciated but are not substan-
tial as they soon wilt. a solid dele
cation from this city will ask the CO.
