Incrsass Of Deaths In New York At
tributed to Climatic Condition.

From the New York Herald.
The alarming increase in the number Of
deaths from pneumonia-there were $40 In
the city last WEEKS by the health authori-
ties attributed to the weather. All the
present conditions favor the inroads OF
the fatal disease. The raw air and the
depressing temperature, filthy streets, slush
covered sidewalks, close living quarters.
overheated. dusty apartments and numer-
GUS other forced accessories of advanced
civilization are distinct contributory
agencies
Taken as whole, pneumonia is more or
less mysterious disease, especially IN ref.
erence to its propagattng tendencies. 1t
usually strikes without much warning. No
one can count himself absolutely safe.
There are various theories as to how this
may happen, but for the most part they
are quite unsatisfactory in explaining re-
suits. The pneumonia commission of the
health board in its recent report at
tempted to answer directly many OF the
vital questions, but fell short of giving any
purely practical turn to radical and essen
tial means Of prevention.
The pneumo coccus is, of course, admit
ted. in plausible. theoretical sense at
| least. to be the direct injecting agent. But
a. regards the how and wherefore OF It's
action there Is still much speculation. For
instance, We are told that this microbe Is
very prevalent and very ubiquitous. even
to the extent Of being present in the threats
OF a large majority OF healthy individuals
and remaining there for months without
giving special trouble. In view of these
facts the purely meteorological infection
theory does not make a very brilliant
showing. Even with the comparatively
limited knowledge at our command 1t be-
hooves all. however. to take no risks with
the microbe in any event and to follow
such rules, theoretical or otherwise, as may
be laid down by our experts.
In the meanwhile We can fortunately sup
plement meteorological studies with SUCH
clinical observations as are well founded on
experience and common sense. The lesson
applies to the individual more than to the
microbe. The Initiative cold" especially
if neglected and aggravated by repeated
exposures, is a common factor. Certain
degenerative LESSONS of the ctrculatory sys-
tenn and the kidneys, especially in the
aged, are leading causes Of Infection. Tie
absence of sufficient. clothing, undue ex-
posture. the lack Of proper ventilation, the
overindulgence in stimulants, social ex-
cesses overstrenuousness in business and
the like also act as predisposing causes All
these certainly are in the power OF the IN
dividual to control, more or less, and In
such times he cannot give his attention too
seriously to them.
The great fundamental and unanswerable
argument to all is the maintenance of the
general health up to the point of resisting
every morbific influence whatsoever. This
is, after all, the only safe course In any
threatened epidemic.

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
.OPENING RIVER TO CORVALLIS,
Navigation May Soon Be Carried on
Nearly All the Year.

Corvallis-lmprovement of the upper
Willamette was discussed here today
by David B. Ogden, engineer in charge
of the Willamette expenditures, and
members of the Citizens League. The
snagboat Mathloma has been working
on the upper river for two weeks and
is to continue in the vicinity of Cor
wallis throughout the coming week.
The famous cutoff, where the Will
lamette has broken through a new chan
Hel and reduced 31a mile stretch to
less than mile by leaving circuitous
route for direct one, has been prac-
tlcally cleared of snags, which had been
menace to navigation. Similar work
is to be done in other directions.
The main topic, however, of the con-
ference between Mr.. Ogden and the cit
izens was the chance of an all-year nav
igation by boats to Corvallis. Plans
with this end in view are being worked
to by the engineers. Their recommen-
dations for appropriations cover needs
in this particular. For two years the
work has been so carried on. Mr.. Og-
den thinks that in another two years
the plan will be consummated and if
navigation be not achieved throughout
the summer, it will at least be so bet
tered that there will be but very short
are much encouraged by the attitude of
the engineering people, and are prepar-
ing to cooperate fully.

BOERS ON A RAID.
Mounted Rifles Start in Pursuit and

Cape Town, South Africa, Nov. II
of the Boer outbreak in the North

Natives who have never been in SYM

For many months the Beers have been
dissatisfied with the attitude Of the

Spray May Have Caused Death.

Hood River-James H. McGinnis, a
native of Ontario, Can, who has been
staying with his brother, D. L. McGin-
mis-, an employe of the Menominee Lum-
Der Mill, died very suddenly Tuesday
from what is now thought to have been
poison. At the time of his sudden i'll
ness he was attended by physician,
who could not diagnose his case, but
left a prescription which, it is said,
failed to help him, and he died in a
short time.
Since his death it has been discov-
cred that McGinnis, who had only been
here a short time, had been in the habit
of eating good many apples and that
they were covered with spray which
he did not wipe off. The spray is poi
sonous and symptoms with which he
was attacked, such as vomiting and se-
we're pains in the abdomen, now lead his
friends to think that he died from its
effects.

Race Suicide lncreasino.

Paris, Nov. 12.-Public attention has
again been drawn to the National peri
involved in the constantly-dim shine
birthrate by the publication of t.
vital statistics for 1905 The births in
France for this year numbered S07,2
showing a decrease of 10,937 from the
total Of 1904. The reason for this de-
crease is not to be found in a reduc-
tion of the number of marriages, in
which the statistics show a slight in
crease over 1904, but it apparently
arises from the aversion of the French
people to raising large families.
The National association which is
studying this matter has reached the
conclusion that it is necessary to in
culcate the idea that any couple that
raises more than three children merits
and is entitled to public gratitude and
protection.

PLANS NEW INSTITUTION.
State Secures Data on Building OF
Home for Feeble Minded.

Salem-For the first time in the his
tory of Oregon, this state has gone
about the establishment of a public in
stitution in businesslike way. In
planning for the establishment of a
home for the feeble minded, the Board
of Public Building Commissioners ar
ranged to send Superintendent G. w.
Jones, of the State Blind School, on a
tour of Eastern States for the purpose
of gathering data which will enable
this state to avoid the errors for which
other states have paid by dear expert
ence. When other state institutions
were established, the locations were Sc
lected and the buildings constructed
with little anticipation of future needs.
In the case of the home for the feeble
minded it will be different. The Board
is looking particularly to the require
ments of such an institution 25 or 90
years or more hence.
Superintendent Jones filed his report
yesterday-a voluminous document ac-
companied by statistics from institu-
tions visited by him. Most valuable of
all is the information he gained by per-
sonal conversation with the managers
of similar institutions in the Eastern
States.
Superintendent Jones concludes his
report as follows: "Oregon cannot de-
lay this important work much longer
without laying us liable to the charge
of neglecting one of the most important
duties which our civilization has i'm
posed upon us as people. Oregon must
not be the last Northern State to make
provision for this class, and it is to be
hoped that the wise plans of the last
Legislature will be carried into effect
by the coming session."

HUMAN BODY is A BATTERY.
Telephone Is Operated by Current
Given Out Blythe Stomach.

Given Out Blythe Stomach.
San Francisco, Nov. 1S-Before a
number of medical men and scientists
today, Mrs. Albert j. Atkins and f. j.
Lewis succeeded in charging an cleo
trical Circuit with human electricity to
such a degree that external sound
waves were transmitted and heard
through an ordinary telephone re-
ceiver. The experiment consisted OF
the application of two platinum cleo
trodes to the walls of the living stom'
ach. By means Of copper wires the
electrodes were connected with tele-
phone and microphone, a sensitive
instrument, which greatly intensities
sound.
There was absolutely no mechanical
or chemical battery in the circuit, yet
the moment the electrodes were swal'
lowed sufficiently to touch the walls
of the stomach, human electricity
flowed over the wires, rendering
sounds audible. The electric charge
measured from seven to eight milli-
volts on a Weston galvanometer.
Colonel E. P. Richardson, the sub
ject of the experiment, swallowed the
electrodes and succeeded in retaining
them for considerable time. After
brief rest, he was given a drink of
whisky and on again connecting the
electrodes with the interior lining Of
his stomach the galvanometer regis
tered Is milli-volts.
Drs. Atkins and Lewis claim that
by this experiment they have demon
strated the law of action of the human
senses. They reason that, if sound is
transmitted over copper wire when
it is charged with human electricity,
it is reasonable to consider the prin-
ciple the same when the auditory
nerve is charged with the same force.
In other words, We hear when the
auditory nerve is made sensitive with
human electricity on the same prin-
ciple which we receive a telephone
message.
Furthermore, these scientists claim
that by a series of experiments they
have proven that digestion is an cleo
tro-chemic process; that all life ac-
tion in the body is dependent upon the
activity of the electrical forces within
the organism, that variations of sense
as sight, hearing, etc,
are caused by the different rates of vi
bration set up by the human electrical
acting on the special sense
nerves.

EXPECT ROOSEvELT'S AID.
Leaders Confident That President
Coming Message to Congress Will
Contain RedicaI Demands
for I ahOr

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 12-Tha
the convention Of the American Fed
! Grafton of Labor, which opens in this
city this morning, will go on record
in favor of an aggressive political pol
i icy seems assured. From all parts OF
the country delegates are bringing in
reports of success at the polls at the
recent election.
So far these reports show that at
least five trade unionists will sit in
the next Congress, while a great num-
Der have been elected to the different
state Legislatures.
| Most pronounced have been the sue
cess of the United Mine Workers and
the Commercial Telegraphers' Union.
The miners in the anthracite dtrict
of Pennsylvania have elected w. B.
Wilson and It. d. Nichols to Congress
and 10 Of their members to the state
Legislature.
The telegraphers elected three of
their members to Congress in different
parts of the country, including the
Fourth District of Illinois. In Henne-
pin county, in this state, 81 out of 80
men indOrsed by labor for the state
Legislature and county officers have
been elected. These successes have
whetted the appetites of the labor men
and 1t is the general opinion of the
delegates who have arrived here that
the convention will devote at least
two days to discussing a political pro
gram.
President Gompers feels greatly en-
couraged over the situation. He says
he has received scores of letters from
men outside of the labor movement
in which they declare that they never
before fully understood what the trade
uniOnists of the country stood for in
political way, and expressing SYM
pathy with their aims and objects.
1T has been the greatest education
al campaign that organized labor has
ever conducted" he said tonight"
The subject is fully covered in the
report which | will submit to the
convention tomorrow, but | have no
hesitation in saying that the political
program of the Executive Council will
be indorsed by the convention. 1t is
but the beginning of organized labor's
efforts in the political arena"
One of the effects of the labor politi
cal program will be seen in the com
ing message of President Roosevelt to
Congress. According to same labor
officials who have recently talked with
the President on the subject, the com
ing message will contain some of the
most radical demands for labor that
have ever been made by President
of the United States.

Police Fall Into Trap.

Tiflis, Nov. 13.-A deafe ming bomb
explosion occurred on Pethanski street
at an early hour this morning, while
the police were making a search of an

Three policemen were killed and four
wounded. 1t is apparent that snare
had been arranged, and the police
lured into it. The police received a
tip to search this particular house.
