SIMPLE DUTY.

" YHEN we talk to children on Il
VA subject that annoys them
some pigeon on the roof Civ
ing food TO its little one or some
coachman down in the street who is
abusing his horse Sometimes they
even maliciously propose one of those
alarming questions that put the minds
of parents on the rack; all this to di-
vert attention from the distressing
topic | fear that in the face of duty
we are big children, and when that is
the theme seek subterfuges to distract
us.
The first sophism consists in asking
ourselves if there is such a thing as
duty in the abstract, or If this word
does not cover one Of the numerous IL
lusions Of our forefathers; for duty,
in truth. supposes liberty, and the ques-
ton of liberty leads US into metaphys-
les. How can we talk of liberty so
long as this grave problem of free viii
is not solved? Theoretically there s
no objection to this, and if life were a
theory and we were here to work out
d complete system of the universe it
would be absurd to concern ourselves
with duty until we had clarified the
subject of liberty, determined its CON
ditions. fixed its limits.
But life is not theory. In this ques-
ton of practical morality, as in the
others. life has preceded hypothesis,
and there is no room to believe that
she ever yields it place. This liberty

MOUNTAIN WATER.
For Corvallis-Some Facts About it
Eleven Miles to Rock Greek.

Out at the college, there is re-
liable data bearing upon the ques-
ton of mountain water for Corval-
lis, aud for the, Agricultural Col
lege. The dataNis the result of in
vestigations made by two students
in the preparation of a graduating
thesis. The figures show that
Rock Creek at the point has flow
! Of water sufficient for city of 35.-
600 inhabitants, and that in order
to secure a sufficient pressure the
water would have to be piped for a
distance of about II miles to reach
Corvallis and of something less than
II miles to reach the water towe,
at the college.
| The students who made the sur
vey and estimates were J. Edwin

class, and David Hirstel, who grad
uates this year. Their computa
