MAKES BIRD THAT FLIES.
French Inventor Thinks He Has Solv.
ell Problem OF Aeroplane.

NJ. Marcel Deprez, member of the
Institute de France, has invented an
aluminium bird which rises against
the wind and stays in the air without
being sustained by any mechanical
device. NJ. Deprez explains that his
experiment was entirely based upon
his observation of an eagle rising
against the wind and soaring aloft
without any motion OF its wings. The
solution, he adds. is very simple.
The aluminium bird consists of two
planes. one larger and almost hori-
zontal, and another smaller and al
most vertical, resembling in shape a
visiting card with one end bent back.
This aluminium sheet Is inclined slight
ly against its horizontal, a current Of
air somewhat ascendant in direction
is brought to bear against 1t and the
metal bird rises and remains suspend
ed in the air.
AS soon as 1t can be practically APP
piled NJ. Duprez thinks this invention
will greatly simplify aeronautics and
will moreover, mean a simplification
of construction and a great economy
in the force necessary to propel air.
ships and a considerable increase Of
their staying power.

records Of the superior court in his
favor for $3.50, says the Yakima Re-
public. The suit was commenced in
September, 1906, when Ryan was
kicked by a vicious horse in a stall
in fuckers livery stable, receiving Sc
rious injuries which lncapacitated him
for year and left him with a slight
deformity. Walen was the man in
charge of the stables at the time, and
the testimony showed that he had
negligently put a horse known to be
Vicious in the stall used by Ryan and
knowing that Ryan would go into the
stall, had forgotten to warn him.
Where Plaintiff Failed.
The main point in the suit, how
ever, was to show that Tucker, as
proprietor of the place. was respon-
sible in law for the negligence of
Walen, and Judge Preble held that
this had not been proved, giving
jdgment today against Walen only.
Walen is not believed to have any
money or property.
Judge Preble assessed the damages
as follows: For being incapacitated
for one year. s545, partially disabled
for six months, 5000; further disable
ment thereafter, $780, for partial de-
formity, $500; for pain suffered. 5000:
surgeons bill, $3.50; total, 1890.

Tomorrow afternoon Pendleton and
walla Walla ball teams will start up
on the last lap Of the great race for
the league championship and the Sc
ries of games to be played here
Thursday Friday, Saturday and SUM-
day should be one Of the best since
the, league was formed. Though there
will be several weeks of ball playing
before the season ends, the various
teams are now down TO earnest work
for every game will count from this
time on,
AT present La Grande leads the
bunch with Baker City second and
Pendleton third. However, the diff
ference in the respective team stand
ings is not so great as to insure the
palm for La Grande.
The game here tomorrow will COM
mence at 3 o'clock and the Pendleton
team will 50 upon the field with
lineup that will be substantially as
follows: Miller, catcher; Taliaferro,
pitcher; Hill first base; Conrad Sec
ond base; Molly Baker, third base;
Dean (captain) short stop; McCool,
center field; Tracy Baker, left field;
and Reed, right field
On Friday a twilight" game, COM
mencing at 6:15, will be played and
there will be no game that afternoon.
By calling the game at the above nam
ed hour business men and clerks in
stores will be enabled to attend.
On Sunday an excursion will be
brought here from Walla Walla and
the series will close with a red hot
game between the rival teams.
The fact that Walla Walla is inter-
ested in the coming series and will
come here tomorrow with "blood in
their eyes" is indicated by the fol-

There will be no meeting OF the
city council tonight and instead OF
sweltering around the long table al
the recorders office tonight the city
solons may enjoy the comforts of life
at their homes.
The announcement that no meeting
will be held tonight was made at noon
today by Mayor Murphy. He says
there is no pressing business for to-
night and in view of the warm wealth
er the regular session will be dlspens-
ed with. o..
Decision Causes Worry.
But while no council meeting will
be held this evening this does not
mean the city aldermen have nothing
to think about during the hot days,
Just at present Mayor Murphy and his
councilmen are showing keen interest
in the tax case now pending before the
supreme court. If that high tribunal
upholds Judge Galloway's decision
against the full valuation assessment
law the mischief will be to pay" in
this city.
1t would mean that the county
would have to go back to the old one
fourth basis of assessment and as the
maximum tax levy under the present
charter is IL mills the city would be
unable to raise sufficient money for
running expenses.
Should Judge Galloway's decision
be upheld the only alternative for
Pendleton. according to the mayor
will be to hold a special election and
amend the charter so as to permit OF
a higher levy. While this could easily
be done, yet a special charter cleo
tion takes time and is necessarily
fraught with some difficulties.
