Yesterday noon. Wallace had thrown
the switch in the yards preparatory
to making a flying switch on three coal
cars west of their yards on Superior

the highball to let the cars go, he
noticed a small white object moving
under one of the coal cars looking
backwards he saw the oncoming cars
which were beginning to attain a high
rate of speed. without stopping to
think Wallace started on a run towards
the coal cars and for time was neck
and neck with the cars that had been
backed down the tracks by the en-
gineer as he neared the coal cars he
saw that the object really was baby
and with magnificent burst OF speed
he succeeded in reaching the cars and
jerked the baby from beneath the
wheels just as the cars crashed to-
gether.

The little baby did not seem the least

But what of the power OF envl-

here may be found the greatest
of all forces in moulding human

vironment in its most .compre-
hensive sense. It is certain we

as to the real influence of envl-
ronment upon men in their form

The case of Thaw, again on

only. The same may be said of
the young mans father, William
Thaw. On both sides and for
many antecedent generations
young Thaw has most excellent
heredity. The force of this was
turned aside by an unfortunate
environment.
Pre-eminently public-spirited,
his father was absorbed in many
enterprises. Exceedingly char
liable, and having ample means
his mother was ever busy with
public and private charities.
Left to the care of paid SER

AS OTHERS THINK.
Everybody IN Corvallis Has
Right to His Own Opinion.

While everyone has a right to his own
opinion, yet it is wise to always consi der
what others think and profit by their ex-
perience.
Nothing makes life SO miserable, or in
terferes so widely with the usefulness OF
the average American, as indigestion,
and it is we'll for us to give fair considera-
ton to what others think about this re-
markable affliction.
Graham 4 Wells are positive that in
Mi.o-na stomach tablets they have an
absolute cure ior indigestion and the
many dieagreeable symptoms that follow
this disease, such as distress after eating,
coated tongue. bad taste in the mouth
dizziness, fatulence, nervousness and
debility ..
Their action in selling Mi-o+na on a
guarantee to refund the money unless 1t
cures, shows pleinly their belief in the
value of this remedy. They take all the
risk, and there will be no charge what
ever for Mi-o ma unless you are satisfied
that it has relieved ycu of indigestion.

Tales of Celebrities.

In the Duke of Argyll's 'Mes-
sages From the Past" the author
presents this picture of Tennyson
declaiming his verses: "He would
take us into the very center OF a
large field at Freshwater, in the Isle
of Wight, to be sure that he could
not be overheard by any one lurk-
ing in the hedges, before he would
stand and declaim in deep, run
ming bass voice any piece on which
he was at work at the time or one
that had been specially asked for.
l remember his thus declaiming the
whole of his poem Of EBoadicea'
with hardly pause for breath"
In the same volume appears an
anecdote of Prince Bismarck at the
Berlin conference: CAT dinner the
prince drank only beer, saying that
he used to drink wine, and too much
of it, but that now he could not
stand anything stronger than beer.
In obedience to Princess Bismarck
he made a good dinner, but not
enough of it in her opinion, and
when she wanted him to take more
he turned to me and said the whole
object in life of a Pomeranlan haus-
frau was to ruin her husbands stom,
| ach."

AFRICAN NEGROES.
These unschooied Natives Take Special
Care of Their Teeth.

SaFe OF nSir iceSHs
The Whiteness and beauty of the |
teeth of the African negroes have,
through mistaken idea, been gen.
rally ascEibed to the food which |
5hey eat and to favorable climatic |
conditions. But according to Ger
man medical journal, the Muen-
chener, Medizinische Wochenschrift,
these unschooled natives take spe-
cial care of the teeth and are IA
miliar with many remedies for the
treatment of dental diseases.
From the observations of officials
in German colonies it appears that
the natives exercise more care IN
preserving the teeth than do most
Europeans. They may owe the pos
session of sound teeth of ivory
whiteness partly to the influence OF
environment and habits, but in ad-
dition they employ many herbs,
barks and juices as prophylactic and
curative agents.
Thus in Negombo it is customary
when a child has finished teething
to rinse the mouth with an infusion
of the leaves of native tree with
the object of Tightening the teeth.
The action of the infusion is prob
ably due to the presence of styptlc
constituent in the leaves which
causes the gums to shrink. The ma
tives living near the source of the
Nile employ the roots of legumi-
nous plant, Dalbergia melanoxylon,
to relieve toothache, while the ma
tives to the west of the source of
the same river use an infusion OF
the seeds of kasso, a climbing vine,
for the same purpose.
. It is interesting to notice that the
use of the toothbrush is not re-
stricted to the so called civilized
peoples. The African negroes fash
: ion toothbrushes out of the wood
of species of adansonia and Other
trees. In this respect the natives
probably have an advantage ovel
those who use an ordinary bristle
, toothbrush, which is frequently
used for six months or even longer
, indeed until it becomes too offensive
{ to be tolerated longer. The sticks
e of wood such as the natives emplo.
! are, on the other hand, easy t.
q make and cost nothing, and the.
c are probably used for only a shor
time. And they possess the addi
v tional advantage Of offering less op
e portunity for particles of food AM
f other debris to be retained mechan
ically than is the case with bris
+ tie brush.

The Honor Appreciated.

Some years ago when Head Con
sui Boak of the western jurisdlc-
ton, Woodmen of the World, was
travelling through the south the
train stopped for some time In
small town, and Mr.. Boak alighted
to make purchase. The storekeep--
er could not make the correct
change for the bill which was pre-
sented, so Mr.. Boak started IN
search of some one who could. Sit
ting beside the door, whiting a
stick, was an old darky.
"Uncle," said Mr.. Boak, "can you
change ten dollar bill ??

new STRAWBERRIES.
Some Promising Sorts In Their First
Year of Fruiting.

Some Promising Sorts In Their First
Year of Fruiting.
In writing of the most promising OF
newer varieties of stra wberries tested
at the Ohio experiment station in l9o1
F. H. Ballou says in part:
The newer varieties, fruiting FOR the
first time this season, did not impress
the writer as having among their
number many which will ever become
"standard" of their kind. A few are
very satisfactory, but not superior In
sufficient degree to displace others
which by real and persistent merit
have won statements Of commenda-
ton from careful and conservative spe-
cialists and e1perimenters in the past.
AS a whole, the new sorts fruitlng at
the station for the first time in 1907
are inferior to those which were given
their initial trial in 1906.
Buster.-Imperfect Berries medium
to large in size; short conical, blunt at
apex. occasionally oblate, some spec1-
mems slightly furrowed; bright, fresh
crimson in color; flesh pink or light
red, sufficiently firm to carry well and
of fair quality.
This variety has a beautiful, strong
healthy plant that is very prolific. A
peculiar characteristic which was ap-
| parent this season was the tenaclty
with which the calyx, or 'shuch,
clung to the stem. Unless the stem
was broken the berry would almost
always part from the calyx. The pick
ers reported it .'hard to pick" which,
! however, was no objection when the
! proper way of gathering the berries by
''nipping" the stems was observed
/ This is Canadian berry and made a
favorable impression this season.
Another new berry is the Virginia,
OF which it is said:
Virginia makes plenty of strong
healthy plants with rich dark green
! foliage. This is the earliest Imperfect
blossom variety the writer ever test
ed. 1t is astonishingly prolific. At the
first two pickings the ground was al
most covered with the unusually round
bright, attractive berries. Made tive
heavy pickings of salable berries, theI
dropped to a size too small for market
A very promising first early sort
Elma is described as being me
dunn to large berry and of good favos
Plants are clean, healthy, vigorous
growers and moderately productive o
very attractive berries. This Is tn
latest berry in our entire collection

WHICH THE GREATER?

The believers in heredity are
often forced to revert to a dis
tant ancestry for evidence Of ma
levolent physical, mental and
moral conditions which, after
several intervening generations
of non-appearance, reappear IN
some remote descendant with IN
creased virulence.
Whatever may be the truth of
the power of heredity we are not
prepared to accept as true all that
is claimed by those who refer all
that constitutes man to the in
fluence of heredity. 1t is true
that by careful selection and
breeding the race of men can be
and has been improved. This is
the method Nature pursues, and
she makes no mistakes. If she
produces hybrid or a monstros-
ity of any sort it is in resentment
of some interference with her
simple and wholesome laws.
The Spartans put themselves IN
harmony with these laws and be-

A Chikd's Dictionary.

The late Frederic R. Coudert,
the noted lawyer and wit, had
great fondness for children. He
collected indefatigably the quaint
sayings of children, and one of the
treasures of his library was small
manuscript volume called "a Child's
Dictionary" and these are some OF
the definitions that Mr.. Coudert
would read from it:
Dust-Mudw with the juice squeezed
out of it.
Snoring off sleep.
Apples-The bubbles that apple
trees blow.
Backbiter-A mosquito.
Fan-A thing to brush the warm
off with.
Ice-Water that went to sleep in

true constitutional representa-
tives of the people chosen by
certain equal groups of the peo-
ple to represent them in the
conduct of the general gov
ernment. They are intended to
represent the people and there
fore it is fitting they should be
chosen by the people, and the
constitution provides they shall
be-.
Not so the Senators. They
have no constituency, are not
chosen to represent the people Of
their state but to represent, rath-
er, the Government of the United
States. Their responsibility and
accountability are not to the peo-
pie of their state but to its con-
stituted Government.
For this reason, among others,
it is most appropriate that the
chief and most powerful branch
of the State Government should
elect u. S. Senators and that they
I should be of equal number from
each state. Such are the provis-
| ions of the constitution.
Possibly we are mistaken In
clinging somewhat reverently
to this product of Jefferson anc
Washington, Hamilton, Henry
Adams and Franklin.

ct. al. are wiser than these, but
pardon US, we do not believe it.

The Business of Sympathy.

One of the most valuable items of
ones social stock in trade nowadays
is sympathy. A little goes a tre-
mendously long way, and the great
advantage is that it need never be
real. People never stop to think
whether the seeming interest in
ones illnesses, the sorrow for ones
domestic worries, the interest In
ones long string of woes and wor-
ries, is simulated. Nor do I honest
" believe they really care. The ma
jority of folk just want a listening
ear and a fuss for the time being

WE DO NOT BELIEVE IT.

With fine frenzy and illogical
logic some would-be constitution
tinkers ask those who prefer to
observe the provisions of the
Federal Constitution in the elec-
ton of United States senator's
rather than to join in a demagog-
ical attempt to nullify those pro-
visions, "why then, not amend
the constitution of the state so
that the legislature and not the
people shall elect all our state
officials?"
Why amend the constitution at
all? Certainly if the legislature
may contravene the Federal con-
stitution, the constitution of all
the states, it may easily nullify
the constitution of one state. In
deed it may be argued that it
would have more right to contra
vene the constitution of its own
state than that Of all the other
states.
Then just see how easily it may
be done. A simple act of the
legislature and, presto! the
change is wrought. Since the
people of all the states may not
care straw for their constitu-
ton it may be the people of Ore
gon do not care a whoop for
theirs.
| All the asseverations that those
who oppose the binding force Of
Statement No. 1 do so because
they distrust the people is the
merest clap-trap. The opposi-
ton to this measure comes from
men who are of the people, the
plain, honest, common people
Their opposition is based on con-
stitutional grounds. They ven
crate the men who framed the
constitution. The perfection Of
the organic laws they gave us
have been demonstrated through
all the years. Those who Oppose
this statement do so because they
find no excuse for violating tht
: mandates of the constitution
, since the instrument was ordaln'
t ed by the people and contains am
pie provision adopted by them
selves for the amendment of the
, instrument itself when the peopl
desire to amend it.

PERsPIRATI0N.
The Important Functions of This Wa
terry Secretion.

terry Secretion.
The perspiration is watery Sc
cretion Of certain curiously coiled
glands in the skin. 1t used to be
thought that it served useful pur-
pose in removing waste matters
from the system, and there is no
doubt that it does SO in a measure,
but it cannot compare in this re-
spect with the secretion of the kid:
neys. Indeed it is ninety-eight and
eight-tenths parts water, and the
solid part is chiefly chloride of So
dunn, which gives it the Wei known
salty taste. Its function is to mois-
ten the superficial layer of cells in
the skin and so facilitate their re-
moval. But its chief use is believ-
ed to be to regulate the tempera-
ture of the body and prevent, by
evaporation, excessive and danger
Gus heat.
The quantity secreted depends
much upon the temperature OF the
air, exercise and the amount of fluid
drunk. But it averages between
thirty and forty ounces day.
1t varies in inverse proportion to
the secretion Of the kidneys. The
secretion is constant summer and
winter, day and night, but ordinarl-
" evaporation keeps pace with it,
and it does not appear as moisture
on. the skin. This is called the in
sensible perspiration, while that
visible as water is called the sensl-
BILE perspiration.
It is decreased in amount in GER
tain diseases, such as diabetes, II
