RAPHAEL'S PROPHECIES.

The present upheaval in Russia
was foretold by Raphael a London
astrologer, six months ago. In his
forecast for 1905, published early last
fall, he foreshadowed a revolutionary
uprising in the czar's empire, which
he predicted will continue until No
vember of this year.
OF the czar and of Russia he said:
1.-The year 1905 will be a black one
i'm the annals of Russian history.
Revolutionary movements will in
crease by leaps and bounds, and this
war, entered into with so light heart
may turn out to be the herald of
liberty for the Russian people,"
The planetary influences affecting
the czar, are evil, he says.
/ His predictions for nearly every
month of the year contain prophecies
of direful events for Russia. In jan
uary he says Russia is under "malefic
influences" For February great po-
litical upheavals are predicted. For
March he writess
Russia is under a cloud, and at
home events will occur which will
stir the hearts and souls of patriots
and just people" In June he says the
planets are especially hostile to Rus
sia's welfare. September is to be
the most tragic month of all, and
then not Russia alone but other great
powers are to suffer. Kings and
emperors,7 he prophesies, will be
slain"

DON'T WANT THE CZAR's JOB,

I'd rather be a soldier boy
And stand for wars alarms
Than be a czar and get shot up
BY my own men-at-arms.
For great white czars are shining
marks
For bombs and lyddite sticks
Aad sometimes stop a few grapeshot
Intended for muhziks.
I'd rather by a simple cit.
OF these United States
And get beat up by hold-up men
And flimflammed by sharp skates
Than be the sovereign of the steppes
And with the zemstvos daily,
For Nick, as far as l can see,
Has no show for his alley.

LILIES or HEALTH and BEAUTY.

In a recent interview with Mrs. Lily
Langtry, she very wisely said:
"The fact that believe in the superior
force of mind over matter does not blind
me to the truth that the foundation Of every
successful life is good health; that the key
stone to physical beauty Is perfect physical
health.
"A sick woman cannot be beautiful
woman, nor can she be anything but what
we English call pool. spirited woman.
"To great extent woman's beauty Is
measured by her vitality-by her health.
Work, Sunshine, Exercise, Water and
Soap, Plain, Nourishing Food, Lots OF
Fresh Air, and a Happy, Contentted Spirit
there, as you say, 'honect and true is
my working rule for youth, youthful spirits
and youthful looks"
One great secret of youth and beauty for
the young woman or the mother is the
proper understanding of her womanly sys-
tenn and we'll being. Every woman, young
or old should knotO heySelf and her phys
ical makeup. A good way TO arrive at this
knowledge is to get good doctor book,

TO MAKE COUNTY ROADS PAS
SABLE.

No man who rides or drives over |
the county roads of oregon will deny |
the need of some system by which
uniformity and common sense may !
be used in the construction of bridges
and grs des.
A law making county roads pas
sable is one of the emergency needs
of the STATE.
AS it is now, every road district in
every county is law unto itself, on
the subject. and every supervisor is
an engineer of a different school,
piling up his mud grades and making
his brush bridges and culverts at the
expense of the taxpayers.
The bill of Senator C. j. Smith, of
this county providing for uniform
road organization for the state. and
making the county surveyor ex-offic-
10 road superintendent in every coun-
ty, is one of the best laws before the
legislature anu shoulu uiihiii"i'''
pass.
The county surveyor who can pass
the necessary examination to hold
that position now, must be pracu-
cal engineer, with a knowledge of
road and grade construction, and at
least in every county there should be
a system of uniform road making
suited to the particular character of
country, through which the roads
pass.
Permanent culverts and bridges,
proper drainage, proper grade slope
to shed off the accommodating water
and proper roadbed to wear more
than one summer, are the require
ments of good country roads, and
until the state adopts a general sys-
tenn. and begins to put experts IN
charge of the work, the country roads
will remain in the main, impossible

rHE LESSON on RussIA.

Revolution gives dramatic empha-
sis to commonplace truths. Many
and impressive are the lessons to be
massacre.
We learn that the mind is the seat
of slavery 1t is not the brutal Cos
sacks who have held the Russian peo-
pie in subjection. Ignorance and in
ertia are the enslavers of mankind.
Let the people lose faith in their ac-
customed rulers; let them once desire
liberty; let them awake to realiz-
alton of their rights and their priva-
tions, and the beginning of the end
is at hand. "It is not by might, nor
by power. but by my spirit" Thought
rules the world. The soul is master.
The solitary cry for liberty may be
silenced. Siberia may swallow a few.
But when the great Russian people
want freedom they will have it,
| 1t is significant that the priesthood
should have furnished the leader for
this Russian uprising. The church
| is often charged with infidelity to hu-
manity. AS Zangwill says, it tends
ever to become the tomb of the soul
of the future. But it is gratifying to
recall the instances to the contrary,
when liberty has been welded to re-
| ligon and men have raised within
the church the banner of the free.
The slaves of the West Indies had a
champion in Las Casas. The Ameri-
can negroes had their Lovejoy, even
as the Russian peasants have their
Gopon. This is at 1t should be. Who
more than the priest should resent
the oppression which crushes the
soul out OF men? without freedom
there can be no moral or spiritual
health. That should ever be the first
concern of religion, as indeed it is of
true religion.
These outbursts of passion, so fear
full i'm their possibilities to the world,
are sad reminders of what might be,
were we once to put our faith in that
gospel of love preached so long ago.

Decide what You win Do.

An engineer who starts to build a
bridge and then keeps finding better
places to put his piers and wondering
whether he has selected the best lOca-
tiOn or not will never get the bridge
across the river. He must decide, then
go ahead and build the bridge no mat
ter what obstacle he may strike. So
it is with the builder Of character.
He must decide finally what he will do
and then make for his goal. refusing
to look back or be moved from his
course.
Tens Of thousands of young people
with good health. good education and
good ability are standing on the end of
a bridge at llfe's crossing. They hope
they are on the right way. they think
they are doing the right thing, and yet
they do not dare to burn the bridge
they have just crossed. They want n
chance for retreat in case they have
made a mistake. They cannot bear
the thought of cutting Off all possibil-
ity of turning back. They lack the
power to decide cOnclusively what
course they will take.-O. S. Marden IN
