Ignoring the Dipping Law.

E. H. Hutchinson, general sheep
inspector, while in Eugene recently,
stated that the law requiring the dip
ping of all sheep in the state is being
pretty generally complied with every
where except in Lane and Linn coun-
ties. where the farmers and sheep
raisers are inclined to evade 1t. He
declared that this action may result
in the quarantining Of the two coun-
ties, when no sheep could be shipped
out or In. Some farmers in that Vi
cinity have dipped their flocks, but a
large majority of them in the county
have refused or neglected to do SO.

by local applications, as they cannot reach

only one way to cure deafness and that ls
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-

sound or imperfect hearing, and when It Il

unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal con-

THEOSOPHYGROWSIN SWEDEN
Mrs. Tingley Speaks Of Her Success
in Promoting Movement.
Leader of Sect Visits Various Con-
tinentaI Nations, Also England
and ireland.

The Universal Brotherhood and TheO-
sophical Society has done a great amount
Of work and gained a strong foOthoId in
Sweden and Norway. Taking into con-
sideration the main purpose OF the move
ment, 10 help men and women realize
the highest possibilities Of human nature
and the nobility Of their calling. as well
as 70 elevate home life 70 a more sacred
character. this i not surprising The
theosophical doctrines may be rather OBJ
scUre 70 the average mind. and for this
reason II is well n quote Mrs Katharine
Tingley. the leader and head Of the
movement She says:
If we look around the world. we find,
wherever we fix our eyes. only confusion.
Injustice, discord. and criticism, with
negative position toward higher things
But man has as his inheritance a divine
nature. and the problem is TO develop
this sense Of divine origin by seeking
to become one with all humanity. Man
has not yet succeeded in applying the
divine laws TO his life. though many have
been working toward that end. The
osophy proclaims the existence OF these
divine laws and is itself the essence Of
all religions. 1t teaches that God exists
in the whole Of nature. Before man can
come to a knowledge OF this he must
learn to see the relation between his
spiritual life and his material life"
Mrs. Tingley has had phenomenal sue
cess in her teachings in Sweden. She
visited Helsingfors, Finland. also. and
here she met with success. St Peters
burg was touched. TOO. And then Mrs.
Tingley went 10 Paris and Geneva. her
efforts always being well received and
gaining for her standard many stanch
been established in Germany Holland.
England. and Ireland, and It IS IN Mrs.
Tingley's plans to follow up her work by
visiting these countries
When in Sweden Mrs. Tingley made
extensive preparations for her educa-
tiOnal work. establishing an academy on
the island Of VisingsO. in Lake Vettern.
There was recently published a report
that the government had refused her
permission 70 erect the school on Wis
ingso. but now IL comes 70 light that the
refusal was based upon the manner or
the application rather than upon the
project itself. the form she had used not
having been in accordance with the
Swedish law This trouble has been rem
edied and the work Of erecting the school
will be begun in short time.
The late King Oscar OF Sweden. who
died on December s, was greatly interest
ed in the theOsOphical movement. IN
1893 he was present at a reception given
by Mrs. Tingley and her cabinet. at the
closing assembly OF the Congress OF

the latter is the most costly of any kind
OF litigation In the entire range Of juris-
prudence.
The committee Of privileges sometimes
takes years and years to consider a case.
and even when its verdict is in favor
of the claimant. It has no power to en-
force the latter, but can only recommend

refrain from taking any action whatso-

1t may safely be asserted that the cost
