Vernon Lee has told somewhere the
story of the marvellous effects Of Wag-
ner on headache. One does, after a
time, succumb to what is a kind of
hypnotism; the sound seems almost to
clear the air, or at least to lull one
into kind of dream in which only the
sense of hearing exists.

George H. Hines, who has forgot
ten more Oregon history than most
men know, had an interesting article
on Oregon's First Legislative Assem-
bly, in last Sundays Oregonian. The
session was held in Oregon City in
July, 1s49. Polk county was repre-
sented by Colonel Nathaniel Ford in
tbs Council and II. N. V. Holmes and
Samuel 7. Bnrch in the House. The
most important acts of the Legislature
were the adoption Of law establish
ing a system Of common schools and
the passage of bill providing for the
enactment and publication OF code
OF laws. The session was carried on
in an economical and business-Iik
manner, and many excellent laws
were enacted.

Once more the OBSERVER desires to
call the attention Of the city council to
the urgent need Of suitable safety
vault for the city books and records.
The destruction of these records by
fire would cost the city thousands of
dollars and many of the valuable
papers could never be replaced. No
private business concern doing as
much business as is done by the city
would think Of leaving its books
unprotected, and there is no reason
why the city should further delay this
important step. A good fire proof
vault could be built in the rear of the
City Hall at a small cost and the
danger OF destruction Of the records
would be forever at an end. 1t Is to
be hoped that the council will give
this importantInatter its most earnest
consideration.
