OSTEoPATHY IN PNEUMONIA.

Said one of Chicagos most emil
nent physicians last winter: mot a
medicine is known that will do one
particle of good in pneumonia, and
the sooner we resume the search for
one, the better for ourselves and the
people" But he must add: failure
must always meet the research for
a medicine, for the cause lies beyond
medicine. Medical textbooks say the
state in pneumonia is a filling of the
lung tissue with blood and serum
which has exuded from the weaken
ed and delicate blood vessels. The
osteopath goes further and finds that
these blood vessels are weakened by
a loss of nerve force which is cut off
by pressure on the vaso-motor nerves
to the lungs. The cure depends on
the removal of this pressure. Thus
it is seen why medicine must fail.
The Osteopath finds this pressure to
be from slightly displaced vertebrae
and ribs. Correct these and the cure
speedily follows, as was demonstrate
ed the past week in our city on q
case which the medical doctor gave
up and the Osteopath cured Fol-
particulars, call on Drs. Hoisington

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAKES A REPORT

order of the director of the United
States geological survey. or in cash
the exact amount. Checks, foreign
coin, and postage stamps cannot be
accepted.
Ever since its organization in 1879,
the United States geological survey
has been engaged in making a topo-
graphic survey and map Of the United
States. The unit of survey is a quad
rangle Is seconds, 30 seconds, or
degree in extent each way, covering
an area of one-sixteenth, one-fourth
or one square degree"
The unit of publication is an atlas
sheet 16 1-2 by 20 inches and each
sheet is topographic map OF one of
the above areas. The scale of the full
degree sheet is 1:250000, that of the
80 second sheet is 1:25OO0, and that
of the Is second sheet is 1:625O0. A
sheet is designated by the name of
some we'll known place or feature ap-
pearing on it, and the names Of ad-
joining published sheets are printed
on the margins.
The maps are engraved on copper
and printed from stone, in three col
ors. The cultural features, such as
roads. railroads, cities, towns, etc., as
well as all lettering, are In black, all
water features are printed in blue;
while the hill features are shown by
brown contour lines.
The contour interval varies with
the scale of the map and the relief of
the country. Maps of limited areas
economically important are some
times published which are not in con-
formity with the general scheme out
lined above; these are called special
maps
Persons who wish to know what
portions of certain districts have
been mapped should ask for an index
circular of the region in which they
are interested. 1t will be furnished
them, free of charge, on request. All
correspondence should be addressed
to The Director, United States Geo
logical Survey, Washington, D. C.

The topographic maps of the Unit
ed States geological survey have
gained wide popularity in the last
nine years. Whereas only S6,974 maps
were distributed in 1895, there were
501,775 maps sent out in 1904. These
were distributed as follows: Through
retail sale, 47.9O6; through whole
sale sale, 29S,653; to libraries and in
stitutions, 75,112; for official use,
Silt.
Although the retail price Of each
map is only five cents and the whole
sale price but two cents, the consid-
cradle sum of sS,976.36 was received
for maps. This merely defrays the
cost of the press work and does not
pay for the paper on which the maps
are printed or for the expense of dis
tributing them.
The total amount received for pub
lications of all kinds in 1904 was s12,-
222.21 as compared with $2,18O.65 in
1895, Notwithstanding the fact that
many publications that were sold In
1895 are now distributed free.
1t is only since the passage of an
act of congress on February 18, 1897,
that the maps have been disposed Of
by sale. They are sold at the rate of
five cents a sheet of standard size.
When 100 or more standard topo-
graphic atlas sheets, or their equiva-
lent in value in other maps are or
dered, a discount of 60 per cent will
be made from the retail price; that
is, 100 standard topographic atlas
sheets will cost 81. The order may
be given for that many copies of one
sheet only or for that many different
sheets, and unless otherwise stated,
this discount will also apply to spe-
cial, general and combined maps,
which may be included in the order;
or the larger maps only may be or
dered; but in no case can orders be
filled at the wholesale rate unless
the sum remitted solely for topo-
graphic maps amounts to at least 81.
Prepayment is required and may be
made by money order payable to the

FIRST CURVE PITCHER.
Claimed by an Albany Paper That
Curves Were First Thrown There.

The first curved ball was pitched by
John Leland Henderson of this city,
in a game between Eugene and AL
hany nearly 80 years ago, says the AL
bany Herald.
This was in the early seventies, and
Albany had the crack team of the
Valley league.
The Linn county town had van
quished every team in the state. John
Leland Henderson was at that time
a logger on the upper Mckenzie. He
had won something of a reputation
with his home team at Eugene, so
when the university aggregation were
up for a game with the champion
players of Albany, Logger Henderson
was sent for.
The seventh inning closed before
Albany got a man to first base while
the Eugene team was scoring at ease
The pitcher was a puzzle to the AL
banyites. Henderson says he was
pitching a curved ball that day and
didn't know it at the time.
Attorney and Mrs. Henderson were
in Eugene last week. The judge says
he had very pleasant time renewing
old acquaintances with people he had
not seen for 80 years. Henderson
used to teach school in the university
town, and is acquainted with a large
number of people there. Mr.. Hender-
sons son, Louis, is a student at the
University of Oregon, and a promi-
nent member of the Sigma Nu frater-
nifty. Judge Henderson was at Salem
last week, working for the new coun-
ty. Mrs. Henderson, says the judge,
was an interested spectator at the leg
isature. and attended every meeting
of the third house while she was in
the capital city.

Conclude to Cut Out Billboard and
Iithograph Advertising and Rely
| Exclusively on the Papers.
After years of experimenting and
eXpending vast sums of money Bar
mum & Bailey and Ringing Bros,
the great circus proprietors of the
country, have come to the conclusion
hereafter to abandon the huge bill
boards and colored lithograph meth
DDS of advertising and rely solely on
the newspapers for publicity.
1t has been found that while the
great posters were very expensive,
taking tremendous force to get
them on the walls. they were easily
destroyed and at best appealed only
to the eye of the passer-by. The
newspapers of the country on the
contrary, go directly into the house,
hold distributes itself, contains day
after day full particulars of the COM
ing entertainments, and thus educates
the mind by appealing to the imagfn-
alton. Under these considerations
the circus men have concluded that
the newspapers are at once the cheap
est and best mediums.
In reaching this conclusion the cir
Gus men have only followed what has
been realized by every large adver-
tiser the world over. The newspaper
imparts something of its own char
acter to its announcements, and read
ers who have who have accustomed
to give their daily or weekly family
visitors their entire confidence, treat
even a circus advertisement with a
respect that is wholly absent in view
ing the flaming posters that eva
nescently disfigure the billboards,
barn sides and fences.

However that may be, It has been APP
