SPEED OF THE EARTHQUAKE
Striking Illustration Of the Velocity
Of Earth Waves in Seismic
Shocks.

New York.--A report OF the velocity
with which San Francisco earth
tremors travelled from the Pacific to the
Atlantic coast has just been issued by
the coast and geodetic survey and strik-
ingly illustrates the intensity Of the
seismic storm. The preliminary
tremors, which consisted OF small ir-
regular vibrations. are found by a study
OF the seismographic records 10 have
been propagated across the continent
at an average rate Of five and a half
miles per second. But the motion OF the
most powerful and destructive shock
was too large to be properly recorded
by the seismograph
These data indicate that all tae earth
waves recorded attained an exception
ally high speed. The rate of propaga-
ton in the great Charleston earthquake
Of 1856, as computed from the time
data, was us feet per second. In the
terrible Japanese earthquake of Oc-
.ober, 1891, the computed average veloc-
;ty did not exceed 1.3 miles per second
But in the Zante earthquake OF March
20. 1893, the velocity was very nearly
five miles.

cAUDY coLoRs HELP TRADE
Fancy Wrappers On Goods Attract
Buyers Among the Kafirs Of
South Africa.

Washington. .-Adviees to the depart
ment Of commerce and labor from
South Africa say that the study Of
trade characteristics is necessary to
sell merchandise abroad. The Boer in
South Africa likes color, and timed
goods, soap, etc, adorned with a rosy
checked, buxom damsel, printed on a
vivid ground OF scarlet or royal blue,
viii attract them.
II possible. they should be inscribed
with homely sentiment In their own
tongue, such as "Skoonhyd staat MET
yerre van godzalighyd" for the soap,
and Zen fol bulk getefreenhyd" for
food and provisions In footgear the
wearing qualities should be empha-
sized. and ornate patterns placed on
the toe caps.
No wrapper nor label can be too
gaudy to suit the Kafirs. who will
rapidly buy up a whole stock Of such
an otherwise uncongenial article as
soap in order to obtain the gaily coll
ored wrappers for hut decoration.
Strange to say the Kafirs' love OF gar
ish colors has never been turned to
account by oversee shippers.

ATTACK ON \. ID. STILLMAN.

Because a. d. StilIman. democratic
candidate for circuit judge in the
campaign just closed, was attorney for
the partners of Z. p. Dodd in the
Morning Tribune, and prevented Dodd
from robbing those partners out of
their hard-earned savings in an at
tempted election of them from the
company. the Tribune now assails the
character of Mr.. Stillman in a most
malicious manner.
1t is none of the East Oregonian's
fight, but in justice to a pioneer res
ident of Umatilla county, and an at
torney who is held in the highest es-
TEEN by courts, attorneys, citizens and
neighbors. this paper feels in duty
bound to defend Mr. Stillman in this
cowardly assault.
During the campaign Dodd was in
charge of his party campaign man.
ayers. and they had too much sense
and decency to permit of such abuse
of a candidate. Now Mr.. Dodd feels
free and exhibits his malignant spirit
without reserve.
The open insinuation that Mr.. Still
man is a blackmailer and thief. are
beld statements even for a man OF
NJ Dn1l'. oborac4ar To rnaLya cuch
insinuations because an attorney in
the discharge of his duty to his clients
prevented them from being boldly
robbed of their savings, is doubly
audacious and should bring just re-
buke from every citizen who becomes
acquainted with the facts.

UMATTLLA ALL RIGHT.

The equal suffrage amendment car
ried in Umatilla county by 65 votes
and the liquor dealers amendment to
the local option law was defeated by
322 votes.
The two principles for which the
East Oregonian fought so hard in the
campaign just passed. were thus sue
cessful in this county at least al
though the equal suffrage amendment
was lost in the state. This paper
feels that the result in this county is
largely due to the agitation Of these
subjects through it, columns and
therefore takes personal pride in
the outcome. II also heartily con-
graduates the voters Of Umatilla
county on the result

LARGEST PAINTING IN WORLD.

"Golgotha," the largest painting In
the world to complete which Jan
Styka labored 80 years, is threatened
with destruction. After being sold by
customs officials for $3.50, the pur-
cfrasers contemplated cutting it up i'm
to four theater curtains.
The painting was originally sold to
a European syndicate for s11S000
and was exhibited through Europe.
1t was taken to the st Louis exposi-
tiOE, but arrived too late, and there
arose dispute ever the customs
duties During this haggling the
painting was sold three times, the
first two sales not having been con-
firmed by the federal court.
Meanwhile it had been on exhibit
tion in Chicago and attracted much at
tention among church people. 1t was
first sold for $1,000 to a lawyer. This
sale was set aside and II was next bid
in for $3.50 This was rejected, and
the last sale was made to two theatri-
cal managers.

TIMES GLORIES.

Times glory is to. calm contending
kings,
To unmask falsehood, and bring
truth to light;
To stamp the seal of time in aged
things
To wake the morn and sentinel the
night,
To wrong the wronger Till he rem
der right;
To ruinate proud buildings with the
hours,
And smear with dust their glitterinS
golden towers,
To fill with worm-holes stately monu-
ments.
To feed Oblivion with decay OF
things,
To blot old books, and alter their
contents,
To pluck the quilts from ancient
ravens wings,
To dry the old oaks sap and cher
ish springs,
To spoil antiquities of hammered
STEEL
And turn the giddy round of For

To show the baldame daughters of her
daughter,
To make the child a man, the man

To slay the tiger that doth live by

To tame the unicorn and the lion

To mock the subtle, in themselves
heguiled;
To cheer the plowman with increased
crops,
To waste huge stones with little water

willing today to hold up their hands
and take the responsibility. Few of
them care to be openly allied with the
saloons. but they secretly voted with
the saloons Just the same. The Off
cial count shows that beyond question.
The saloons can boast in this case
that they dominated large number
OF boasted moral citizens, for without
the votes of these citizens the sa-
looms would have been unable to de-
feat equal suffrage.
Let the people who defeated equal
suffrage at the command of the sa-
looms take their share of the respon-
sibility. And when they kick about
the corruption of the saloons here
after, let them remember that they,
themselves, helped to make the cor
ruption of the saloon more secure by
voting as the saloons dictated against
the women of Oregon.

ELEPHANTS GOING UP.

"A rive-foOt elephant costs this
spring" an importer OF animals is
stated to have remarked. $1,000, as
against 5000. for which such ele-
plants could be bought two years
ago.
elephants. like all other wild ami
mails, are growing scarcer with the
settlement of the globe, and their
prices tend upward. More small ele-
plants than big ones are imported
because they cost less to begin with
and because they are eusier and safer
to transport. and showmen Ike them.
for the reason that young elephants
are more tractable and easier TO train.
Then. the elephant is a hardy ami
NAL in captivity and he is naturally
long lived. and the young elephant in
creases in value with his growth. SO
that even with their prices tending
upward, young elephants are good
property, though even they are rather
| large for family pets

STATEMENT NO. WINS.

According to the returns now in, 40
members of the legislature who are
pledged TO statement No. l have been
elected, out of a total joint vote of SO
in the legislature, a bare majority of
one.
This is a remarkable record for the
first campaign for this splendid prin-
ciple, and places Oregon at the front
rank of reform states in the union.
Aside from these As statement No.
l members, are a number pledged to
vote for the highest party candidate
for the United States senate. So from
surface indications statement No. l
has won a decisive victory in Oregon,
and stands out prominently as one of
the leading reform measures of the
century.
The extension of this principle to
other states will mean the final refor-
nation of the United States constitu-
ton to make senators by the will 4
the people. That oregon leads this
prominent reform and takes this ad-
vanced step now while popular gov
ernment is being defended by the
president and many fearless COVER
nors and public officials. is very en-
couraging.

USEFUL WOMEN.

The widening sphere OF woman's in
fluence is graphically portrayed in tn
election of school teachers in Pendle-
ton last night.
Out of total of 80 teachers en-
ployed in the public schools of this
city there are but four men, includ-
ing the city superintendent. Twenty
six women are instructing the coming
men and women of Pendleton.
Look around you at any time and
you will be impressed with the grow
ing and virile activity of women in
public and private life. The church
and religious societies which train and
guide the young men and women are
composed chiefly of women, and
strong women. too. The schools are
dominated by women. The work of
the women's clubs is seen in the
home, city, county and state govern
ment.
The class of women which would
vote if they had suffrage is strong
and sensible class. The ornamental
women would not vote and they are
doing nothing else today. II there is
a public duty to perform they shrink
from It. II there Is a burden to bear
they are not under it. The usefu
women who are doing so much for the
world would vote and their influence:
would be just as good as citizens az
they are as DISTINGUISHED burder
bearers

weighed down
Each with its loveliness as with a
crown,
Dropped in a florists window in a
town.
The first lover bought. 1t lay at
rest,
Like flower on flower. that night, on
Beauty's breast.
The second rose, as virginia. and fair,
Shrunk in the tangles Of harlot's

The third, widow, with new grief
made wild,
Shut in the icy palm of her dead
child.

or rise from the ground. There Is
never dew on a dull cloudy night or
on a windy night.

OF warm air coming in contact with
the cold grass is instantly chilled into
dew; the gravel is a bad radiator and
parts with its heat very slowly and
therefore does not condense the warm
air. Dew never falls on the human
body.-Scientific Review.
