cepted If it had been made. Neither,
he said, would it be accepted if the

> It is further declared in the state
ment that the troubles Of Zion City will

=. AS matter Of formality, we have
fled a paper in the circuit court Of Lake
county declaring that the power Of at.
torney granted to Overseer Voliva by
DOW1e IS void, 1nasmuch as VOliva has
not acted in accordance with instruc.
tions given him for the execution Of the
powers.
Dowie sent Voliva a telegram revok-
Ing the power Of attorney. This tele.
gram said:

you to change my policies in any de
According to the contestants the deci

adoption Of the gold standard did not

because, since 1896, the country has
produced enough gold to supply the

Observant and far sighted persons
distinguish at great distances a man
from a woman, not by dress, face or
figure, but by movements. The mo-
tions of the most graceful of men are
unganly when compared with the sinu-
Gus lines that nsSt women instinctlveiy
assume. 1t often happens that a single
motion of a distant figure, and especial
ly motion of the arms above the head,
will instantly determine for a trained
observer the sex of the person. If any
one doubts this let him note the awk-
ward, windmill-like performance of a
man arranging his hair and the grace

Autos for the Postmnn.

Autos for rural free delivery routes is
the latest advice from the post Office de-
partment, according to waldon Fawcett
in the Technical World Magazine for
October Not only has the postmaster
general issued an order permitting the
use of automobiles and motor cycles in
rural mail service, but the government
has lately conducted series of trials
with an automobile designed and con-
structed specially for this class of postal
work. The new machine is built for hill
climbing and country road service. In
hill climbing power, the car is claimed
to exceed any other motor car manu-
factured, regardless of horse power or
weight. In recent official test 1t
climbed grade of 80 degrees, and with
two passengers mounted a grade of %
degrees op the reverse gear. The ma
chine weighs 800 pounds, and is furnish,
ed to carriers at $400 each
