VofING MACHINES
ARE NOW USELESS
BY Associated Press.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 23.-The voting
machines which this county purchased
at total cost of $35,95O will be abso-
lutely useless at the coming state cleo
ton and electors will have to vote by
the old Australian ballot system.
This state of affairs Is due to the
fact that there are nine political par
ties in the field this year and the ma
chimes carry places for only seven. 1t
is believed this condition will apply to
every county in the state where ma
chimes are used.
The enforced return to the old bal
lot system will cost this county $14,-
900 more than 1t would If the machines
could be used.

Another Richmond
Charles M. Smith, for the past eight
years deputy under County Assessor
Ben Ward, has announced himself as
an independent candidate for supervis-
or In the Third district.
Whether this will have any effect In
deciding DIR. Lamb Is not known. The
statement was made yesterday that
without doubt DR. Lamb would be
placed on the independent ticket II he
concludes to continue his fight against
the machine./
City Auditor Schwaebe was in his
office yesterday, smiling as If nothing
had happened.
1T is Just what anyone i'm politics
can expect at any time" said he. "I
have no soreness and am grateful to
the friends who stood by me. 1t was
merely n case of not having enough
votes No Independent movement for
me- l am down and out as far as
politics is concerned, and 1 will return
with joyful heart to private business
as soon as my term Of office expires.
II shall not try for denomination,
but instead Will do all can to secure
the nomination for Norman j. Bryant,
my chief deputy, who is very capable
and honest man."
There Is Soreness
Not all OF the defeated candidates
accept the situation as philosophically
as does Mr.. Schwaebe, and there are
bitter murmurings, but no violent de-
clarations of hostility.
Werdin was busily explaining why he
was defeated. He said that he was
compelled to show his hand early in
the game, but as his highest vote was
96, it is thought that Werdin's oppon-
ents saw that his had merely was a
four-flush. 1t is said that the campaign
cost Werdin close to 100000.
Walter Parker yesterday smilingly
received praise from machine men for
the manner in which he managed to
get practically everything he wanted.
The boss said that there might be
two or three candidates who are not
the ones wanted by certain factions, but
that as whole he considered the ticket
a strong one.
Collar on Legislators
Anti-machine men yesterday declared
that practically every nominee for the
senate and assembly wears a. machine
collar, and on this account more than
for any other cause the independent
movement is favored.
A. c. Parker declared that it was re-
gretted that some of the candidates for
the senate and assembly succeeded,
and Milton K. Young, chairman of the
Democratic county central committee,
said that non-partisan ticket could
not only defeat the machine nominees
for the legislature, but also a majority
Of the Republican county ticket.
II don't see that Parker missed any,
thing" said Mr.. Young, glancing over
the list of nominations, "and I think
it affords the Democrats and non-par-
tisans an excellent opportunity to break
machine rule in Los Angeles county,"

Queer Things About Flames.

There is a relation between the color
of flame and the energy Of the com
bustion causing It. The more vigorous
and complete the combustion the high.
er the refrangibility of the light \
flame burning in tardy and restricted
way emits rays that are red. When
burning in a more complete and effee
tive manner the emitted rays change
to violet. The flame of a candle or a
lamp consists of 4 series Of eccentric
luminous shells surrounding a central
dark core These shells of fame emit
light of different colors the innermost
one-that in direct contact with the
dark core-being red and having tenn.
perature of exactly OFT degrees F.
Upon this and In their proper order Of
refrangibility are shells Of light which
are orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo
and violet The reason that such a
flame does not appear to US as nest
of cones Of different colored light Is
this: When we look upon such a flame
all of the rays issuing from the diff
ferent layers or strata Of concentric
luminous shells are received by the
retina of the eye at one and the same
time. This can only impress with the
sensation Of neutral or white light

HADE FROn NATIVE ROOTS.

That the roots Of many native plants,
growing Wild In our American forests,
possess remar Rable properties for the euro
OF human maladies Is we'll proven. Even
the untutored Indian had learned tho
curative value OF some of these and
taught the early settlers their uses. The
Indian never liked work so he wanted his
squaw to get we'll as soon as possible that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore he dug 7papoose root for her,
for that was their great remedy for fe-
male weaknesses. DR.. Pierce uses the
