That there is going to be con.
siderable interest taken in the ap-
preaching primaries is evident from
the way voters are calling at the office
OF County Clerk Cheshire to register.
The books were opened last Monday
and now they will remain open until
April 7, when they close for primary
election, which occurs April II. Reg
istration reopens April 81 and closes
again May 10. for the county general
election, which comes off June /.
Then the books will open again for
registration September 20 and close
October 2Ofor the presidential election,
which occurs November 3. All Of

the County Clerk, but he and his
deputy, E. S Veatch are fully equal

SPIDER AIRSHIPS.
How the Young Insects Sail Away
With the Wind.

In early autumn the spider families
separate. Hundreds of thousands of
infantlle spiders on warm sunny
morning Scale the low bushes, cling to
the tips of the leaves and project slen-
der silken threads from the spinnerets
at the ends of their bodies. Before
very long the air near the ground, be-
coming heated, ascends and carries up
the silken threads with 1t. Still the
little creatures hold on and pour out
silk TIL each has some eight or ten
feet of line rising almost perpendicu-
larly into the air above 1t.
At last they let go and rise into the
air themselves. each at the extremity
Of its own thread. In this way they
are carried upward, perhaps for many
hundreds of feet, till at last they meet
a current of air moving slowly along,
and by this they are carried often for
many miles, while they can always
descend at will by the simple expe,
dent of rolling up their supporting
threads.
On warm autumn morning the air
is often filed with these baby spiders,
each sailing securely on its own little
silken airship. When they descend
bushes, trees and low plants are FIRE
quenty covered with their gossamer
threads.-London Standard.

deserted her March II. 1905 and has

Since the invention Of plate glass the
outside appearance Of shops and stores
has been greatly improved. The first
impression is important Many persons
are attracted to a store by the tasteful
arrangement Of the show windows.
Plate glass is now so cheap that 1t is
in general use, and the merchant who
tries to draw trade with the old fash

still do, is losing an opportunity Next

LEARN TO EAT
Few People In Grants Pass
Really Know How.

Slow eating will solve one half the
problem Of i'll health. Those who
suffer already with indigestion and
weak stomach can with care aud tn q
use Of Mi-o-na stomach tablets restore
their digestion to healthy condition,
so that they can eat what they want
at any time without fear of distress
or suffering.
After a few days use of Miona
stomach tablets, the headache, dizzy
feeling, drowsiness, had taste in the
mouth, coated tongue. nervousness,
sleeplessness, distress after eating, all
these symptoms of weak stomach
will disappear, and perfect digestion
and good skin will show that the
vital machinery is once more running
smoothly.
Take little Mi-o-na tablet before
each meal so that it will stim ulate the
digestive juices and give strength to
the stomach, and then it will take care
of the food that is eaten, without in
digestion and the unpleasant full feel
ing with which so many suffer after
meals.
Demarsy has so much confidence in
the power Of Mi.o-na to cure indiges-
tion and all stomach ills that he gives
guarantee with every so cent box to
refund the money if the remedy fails
to give satisfaction.
