OLD JAPAN.

It's Imperial Dynasty Contemporaneous
with Babylon.
The peace ENJOYS on their way hith-
er represent the oldest and one of the
youngest dynastics in the world.
Measured in comparison with still ex-
listing European lines, the Romaoffs are
a family of yesterday, older than the
Bonapartes and Btrnadottes, to be sure
but not to be thought of in COMPARE
son with the true blue antiquity of the
Hapsburgs and some other families of
equal chronological dignity but smaller
territorial possessions.
The Japanese imperial dynasty. how
ever runs back with no break in its
succession for $500 years, unless the
Oriental heralds concede to it a dura-
ton not supported by the evidence.
That carries it back to the time when
Alexander of Macedon was Aristotle's
pupil; Bucephalus not yet caught and
bridaled; when Demosthenes was still
laundering in the Agora, and a long
way beyond the Roman Pontif1cate and
the origin Of the faith on which it is
founded. 81
Confucius was rather young when
this royal house went into business.

the future than thousands of other
hamlets huddled on Latian and Etru-
rain with rude walls around them like
those which Romulus and Remus, as
sisted by their nourishing and sustain
ing wolf, are tabled to have built.
Babylon was still proud city with
chariots moving on its walls, and Jeru-
salem still wore Solomon's Temple for
its crown. In its streets the wisdom
of the King who builded it 1t cried
aloud, not yet wholly uhregarded as 1t
was later declared to be.
The only dynasty still going con-

Mikado represents is that of Abyssinoa,
and the story of this African

wastes of oblivion and dcninions Of old
night is vaporous and fantastical, for
anybody to believe or not, as he likes.
Japan makes much more responsible
showing, and If the genealogy Of the
present wise and sagacious sovereign
of that country does not go quite back
to the tremendously remote claimed
for it, it is open to any heraldic chap
ter or convocation of dusty capitular-
les to point out when the error In the
chronological record crept in. How
ever that point may be decided, there
will be found none to deny that 1t is a

so than at the present time.

prospect of being thimble-rigged out

r. n. JOHNSON WILL ERECT
MODERN CHOP MILL ON
THE OLD SITE.
Insurance Adjusted On Mill and Con-
tents Neutrality-suspicious. for New
Structure to be Drawn.

Robert H. Johnson, proprietor of the
Electric Feel mills, announced yester-
day that he. would probably replace
the Yellow Hawk mills, burned last
Wednesday with a modern and up-to-
date chop mill. Mr.. Johnson owns
five acres on which the Yellow Hawk
mills stood together with valuable
water power rights. Plans for the
new mill will probably be prepared
in short time and construction work
started.
Insurance men yesterday adjusted
the loss on the burned building and
it's contents. An inventory showed
nearly treble the loss over the amount
of insurance carried by Mr.. Johnson
on the mill and r. G. Duncan, the
lessee, on the contents. The boiler Of
the auxiliary power plant is practi-
cally uninjured but the engine will
need several hundred dollars worth of
repairs before it can be utilized.

NEED NOT vACClNATE.
Children Cannot be Forced to Take
PrecSution.

FVeCSsutIOn
SALEM, Or, Nov. 1S.-In answer to
an inquiry from State Health Officer
Robert c. Yenney, of Portland, Attor-
ney-General Crawford today rendered
a decision holding that the state board
of health has no authority to require
that children shall be vaccinated be-
fore gaining admission to the public
schools.
The attorney-general quotes from
the law creating the board of health,
showing that the board mas general
supervision of the health Of the state
and power to establish guarantees.
The vaccination rule would not be in
the nature of quarantine; hence the
board cannot find it's authority in
that provision.
Neither does Mr.. Crawford think
the clause giving the board general
supervision will authorize them to es-
tablish new qualification for admis-
sion to the public schools unless there
is apparent danger of an epidemic Of
smallpox.

An Awful Possibility.

Mrs. Jones was going to the ceme-
terry to visit her mothers grave and
had taken the 5-year-old daughter
of her most intimate friend with her.
The child had always called her "aun-

full particulars of the mothers death.
"Aunty, did your mother die lying
down or sitting up?'
Never mind, dear, I do not remem-
Der. Here We are, and I am going to

quotas. Anyone could purchase ex-
for fixed price. In many
towns that price was $500. 1t was
simply a barter and trade arrange
nient between the man liable to be
drafted and the town. The man pur-
chased exemption upon paying mis-
$500. This money was used by the
town to hire substitute to serve in
the place Of the man who purchased
his right to stay at home. The ques-
ton is Does the man receive the full
equivalent of his money! It seems
that ne did, as at that time the regu-
lar price for substitute was some
thing like $500. The town was COM
PEELED to add $500 of the $500 it had
received from the exempted man to
purchase his substitute.
Somebody must be laboring under
the impression that these drafted men
should be reimbursed for this $500. It
does not look that way to an outsider"

INTERESTING BIT OF SCANDAL
IN ENGLAND HAS BEEN
MADE PUBLIC.
UndeniabIe Proofs That George w.
Was Husband of Mrs. Fitzher-
bert-Was Contract Marriage.

LONDON, Nov. 1S.-By the opening
of a bundle of yellowed and faded pa
pers for seventy years deposited with
Coutts bank, a highly interesting oil
of the most intimate chronique scan
Jaleuso of the British court has be-
come public. The bundle Of papers
had been entrusted to Coutts bank
seventy years ago by Mrs. F1tzherbert
whose maiden name was Maria Anne
Smythe, under the condition that II
was not to be opened for a long
time. 1t was suspected that the bum
die contained some important papers
bearing upon the relations between
Mrs. Fitzherbert and King George ~.
and it was considered necessary to OBJ
tain the permission Of King Edward
before the bundle Of documents was
opened. King Edward, although in
formed of the probable character or
the papers, did not hesitate to give
his consent and in the presence of
number Of interested persons the par
Gel was opened. 1t contained the mar
riage certificate and other indisput-
able proofs that George Nv was act
ually married to Mrs. Fitzherbert.
Georve " George Augustus Fred
erick) was king of Great Britain and
Ireland from 1920 to 1880. He con-
tracted a marriage with Mrs. Fitzher-
bert on December IS, 1885. Two years
later, to obtain parliamentary assist
ance for his debts, he allowed Fox to
deny the marriage in parliament. On
April s, 1895, again to liquidate his
debts, he married his cousin, Caroline
Amelia Elizabeth of Brunswick 1t
was reported that the papers in Coutts
bank would settle a question which
mas agitated the British public for
over a century, as to whether there
was issue from the marriage, but
there is nothing apparently to 1nd1-
cate that the question has been settled.
1t had long been reported that there
actually was male child, and that
this child emigrated to the United
States and settled in Washington,
where he died some years ago, after
living very quietly, but in good cir
cumstances.

EARTH TREMORS.
Able Moreau Predicts Earthquakes in
March or ApriI-Has Good Record

PARIS, Nov. 1S.-Abbe Moreau, writ
ing on the subject of the recent solar
activity, says: CAS- the solar activity
will slowly diminish, it is highly prob
able that earthquakes will occur in
March or April next"
1t will be remembered that Able
Moreau in an article which was wide
ly copied, predicted the earthquakes
which a few months ago devastated In
dia and which, he held, were due to
sun spots. He maintained the follow
ing in an article published this week:
There is connection between solar
activity and volcanoes, and even earth
quakes
The awakening Of the internal
forces of the globe comedies with
sudden change in the curve of sun
spots if it rises or if it falls. The
number of sun spots is not alone a de-
cisive factor; there must be sudden
approximations or diminutions.
Earthquakes and especially volcan-
ic action, are localized on the lines Of
fracture Of the globe, and particularly
at the intersection of these lines: (a)
the west coast of the two Americas;
OBJ the line including the volcanic dis
tricts of eastern Asia; (c) the South
Sea islands and Australia, and CD the

acts on the crust of the earth by caus-
ing it's potential electricity to vary or
by modifying the heat sent to the
earth. For both there would be di-
