Atmospheric Weiaht.

At the sea level, with the barometer
marking 30 inches and the thermom-
eter 81 degrees F., cubic foot of pure
dry air weighs about 565 grains troy.
The weight Of cubic foot of water
vapor dnder the same conditions is
only 352 grains. When vapor is mixed
with dry air, therefore, the resulting
compound is llghter-that Is to say,
damp afr ls lighter than dry air. In
stormy weather the air Is lighter than
1t Is In fair weather and not heavier
as many persons suppose. When
smoke hangs about the surface Of the
earth, II shows that the air Is lighter
than the smoke. When the air Ia dry
1t is heavier than the smoke. and the
latter therefore ascends. The weight
of the earth's atmosphere, or, In other
words, the pressure exerted upon the
earth by the atmosphere. Is about the
same as would be exerted by food
Of water thirty-three feet In height
over the globe. At the sea level the
pressure of the atmosphere is about
fifteen pounds to the square inch. A
man of ordinary size thus bears all the
time a pressure Of about 10000 pounds
but he does not feel 1t, because the
pressure is exerted in every direction
above, below and around him-and be
cause his body is filled with air ant
other fluids that press outward, thu
maintaining state Of equilibrium.

ONE YEAR OF PROHIBITION
Albany Democrat Reviews First Year
of "Dry" Town..

Albany Democrat Reviews First Year
of Dry Town.
The Albany Democrat says of that
city's first years experience as
"dry" town under local option:
Albany has completed its first
year as "dry" city. The result will
be viewed by different ways, accord
ing to prediction. Some things,
though, are facts.
There are SO less empty houses
While good many people have gone
away, more have come to Albany,
showing a decided gain in numbers,
and 1t is said financially.
Business has been remarkably
good along nearly all lines. General
merchandise trade has increased in
the different stores from 10 to so or
more per cent. The business of the
banks has been the best in the his
tory of the city. Deposits have in
creased 40 per cent.
Carpenters and masons have had a
very busy year, and the city shows a
marked improvement in appearance.
The city government has been run
on the taxes of its phoperty owners
and hardly any difference is noticed
by the taxpayer.
Morally the city has improved but
liquor continues to be drunk here.
There are two or three blind pigs,
and considerable liquor is shipped in
by express from Portland houses,
who keep the mails flooded with
their circulars; but the amount con-
sumed here is probably not one fifth
what 1t was with ten saloons wide
open. Some boys are getting it, and
the fact is made conspicuous. The
law is very lame in not prohibiting
the shipment of liquor into dry
counties, and not making possession
prjma facia evidence of guilt.
The business of the police court
has been only nominal.
Albany is very much alive and the
prospects for the coming year are
very bdight.

that accompany good health. A ply
