THE ETERNAL QUESTION.

Is there God, Father over all.
Is there some mighty force that rules
the spheres?
Is there Deity behind the wall
or heaven, and the mystery of years?
Where was He then, when the fires of
The ceaseless strength of Nature shook
and heaved?
Did He not heed, can no wise prophet
tell
Is Heaven true, or are We all deceived ?
Does He not love us, us his children best
And would He not, in His a1I-pOtent
love
Raise His right arm, and lull the wrath
to rest,
He, infinite in power, who reigns
above?
Is there some stronger force, some great
er Law,
That masters Him, and makes His wis
dom weak?
Is there some greater Might that none
foresaw,
o God, if Thou art God, canst Thou not
speak?
And in the whispers of the forest flowers
And in the murmur Of the running
spring,
And in the warmth and cool OF Summer
showers,
And in the life of every humble thing,
| read His answer: Seek and ye may
find,"
'Tis only he who doubts is really blind

RECENT SCIENCE.

The Earth itself is negatively elec-
trifed.
An ion is one-two-hundred-
ninety-millionth of an inch across.
Whether one has can ear for
music" or not, he is sustained by
music in a major key and depressed
by minor strains.
1t is the heat that destroys the

The recent experience of the be-
lated steamer st. Louis will doubtless
hasten the installation of wireless
telegraph instruments on passenger

Krypton, one of the monatomic
gases recently discovered to be q con-
stituent of air by Ramsey, has the
same spectroscopic lines as the aurora
borealis, and its accumulation at the
pole is thought to be the cause of the
aurora.
The suggestion recently made that
life was first introduced to our world
by germs borne by meteorites is not
new. Its recrudescence may be a
result of the recently published state
ments that many microbes retain life
while in liquid air, which is assumed
to be as cold AS interstellar space.
The possibilities OF human color
vision are limited TO the seven rays
of the spectrum, and those of human
hearing to sound waves of between
thirty and forty-fiye thousand vibra-
tions to the second. Beyond these
limits we are blind and deaf to sensa-
tions of the existence OF which there

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON: FRIDAY EVENING, FEB 1 190e

would need the services of an under
taker, and l thought of Benjamin
Harmed who was engaged in tha,
business in Olympia. For about ten
days 1 was the sickest young man
that ever blew down the straits. The
Captain very kindly excused me from
active duty during this time, assuring
me that he would be able to navigate
the ship all right until 1 recovered
He also stated that he did not care to
have his food mixed up with the
Olympia menu. When 1 began to
recover from my sickness l made the
startling discovery that l had lost my
appetite, but luckily had found hogs
internal capacity instead. One day
when l was getting better 1 happened
to look out on the water when a lot
OF fish sprang out of the water and
flew off like birds. 1 could hardly
believe my eyes. ran to the Captain
and announced my wonderful dis
covery. The Captain said 1 was a
fool, of the damn variety. The Cap
tain was very pleasant man of the
unpleasant kind. Every little while
we would have a boat drill on board
and every one had an important duty
to perform. This was to prepare us
in case of ship. wreck, so we would
know where our stations were. 1t was
my duty to look after the Captains

when the alarm bells were sounded l
would grab Topsy and Milo, the

boat and take my post OF honor. The
call would come at all hours of the
day and night, the Captain having
been ship.wrecked once before, and
had to live on boiled sea.bools and
sunshine for two weeks, so he wanted
to have plenty OF long sea.boots ready
the next time; hence this drill. One
night the alarm rang out, but failed
to hear it. 90 the Captain turned one
end of the Pacific ocean under the
covers of my bunk. They were wash.
ing decks so he inserted one end oil
the hose under my blankets. As the
first shock of water hit me, l thought
the ship had sprung q leak near my
state-room, so I grabbed the two
poodles which / had in bed with me
Il was using them for feet.warmers,
and ran to the larbsrd life.boat, which
was already loaded with boots, etc.,
and took my station determined to
die at my post of honor, or dishonor,
After this l stayed awake of nights,
for fear the great ship and cargo
which was in my care. would get
wrecked and l would not be on hand
to help the Captain chew his fried
boot-legs ON the sunny desert isle.
Life on the ocean wave seemed to
agree with my careful Olympia train.
ing. l began to get so fat that l had
to grease my head to get clean shirt
on. 1 also got so fleshy that could

to be handy. CLOVER BILL.

While the democratic party at large
will have to bear the responsibility of
the defeat of the Aldrich currency bill
and the bill to reduce the duty on i'm
ports from the Philippine islands, the
opposition to those two measures came
entirely from the populist element and
the representatives of the sugar beet
industry. The older and more con-
