Last week it WIS determined by

time the brethren of this CITY owned a
temple of their own and steps be taken
to proceed in the matter. The Masons

for carrying out the desire of the body to
build suitable building for Masonic

stock company be formed, the stock to
be subscribed by members of the various
Masonic orders in ti.is city. The cues.

material or construction, etc., will rest
probably with the committee. who will

SupcrstitiOns of Today,

There are villages near the Universe
ty Of Oxford where no notion of med
ical science has penetrated and where
charms are the only recognized cure
for disease. A woman who has lately
been lecturing in the neighborhood on
sanitation found that whooping cough
was always treated by spider. The
spider was sewed into piece of mus
lin and hung on curtain rod, and the
death Of the spider meant the end of
the cough. Not long ago child was
seized with the illness. and the doctor
ordered ''pOultices on the chest" When
he returned. he found that the mother
had carefully laid the poultices on the
oak chest which stood by the bedside.
The remedy appeared to her perfectly
natural.

Sentence.
Clyde Cleveland, fcrmerpostmaste at
Ocosta, whose arrest for embezzlement
has been noted in the Herald, had his
hearing before Judge lIanford yester-
day, guilty as charged. He was fined
$500, the extremely light sentence being
due to offerts made by his friends in his
behalf. A petition presented to Judge
Hanford contained the names of many
men prominent in Chehalis county
affairs. The petition recited that Cleve-
land had been a resident and business
man of Ocosta for twelve years, enjoy
ing the confidence and respect of al;
about two years ago he commenced to
using Intoxicating liquors to excess, and
to this use is attributed his downfall.
In view OF his previous good character
and the fact that the shortage has been
made good, the petitioners asked that
leniency may be shown by the judge.
Cleveland was member Of the firm
of Cleveland, Beaulieu & Anderson
which was the leading merchantile firm
of Ocosta. He recently sold his interest
to his partners and turned over all of his
property to his bondsmen to secure them
for the payment OF the shortage. He is
said to be now entirely without property
or means. He has wife in Ocosta but
no children. He was represented in the
hearing in the Federal court by ]. B.

Musical Sounds. and Noise.

1t is curious fact that musical
sounds fly farther and are heard at a
greater distance than those which are
more loud and noisy. If we go on the
outside Of town during fair, at the
distance Of a mile we hear the musical
Instruments, but the din Of the multi
tudc, which is so overpowering in the
place. can scarcely be heard. the noise
dying on the spot To those who are
convcrsant with the power Of musical
Instruments the following observations
will be understood The violns made
at CrcmOna about the year 1900 are
superior in tone to any of later date,
age seeming to dispossess them of their
noisy qualities and leaving nothing
but the pure tone. II a modern violin
is played by the side of one Of those
instruments. it will appear much the
louder of the two. but on receding a
hundred PAGES when compared With
the Cremona it will scarcely be heard
