GREAT FEAT OF WIRELESS.
Message From Elect in Pac fic Is Re-
ceived at Pensacola.

Washington. March l0.-About the
last place that the Navy department
expected to hear from the Atlantic bat
tleship fotilla for at least six months
was on the Atlantic coast, yet this is
what happened. The Navy department
today received telegraphic message
from its wireless station at Pensacola,
which had been in direct communities
ton with the battleship fleet, most
remarkable performance. considering
that the wireless impulses were obliged
to traverse the Gulf of Mexico. then
cross overland the state of Texas, part
Of Mexico, and again CROSS several hum
dred miles OF ocean.
An additional dispatch received at
Pensacola from Admiral Thomas, dated
on board the Minnesota at 8 O'Clock
last night, is as follows:
"The position of the feet at this
moment is latitude 14.97 north, longi-
tude l02 01 west"

Old Superstition Refuted.

By ]. L. Ashlock Washington State Collere.
Pullman.
The results Of an experiment, which
for the past fifteen years has been In
progress at the state experiment sta
tion, completely refutes the old super
stition that cold January and Febru-
airy is apt to be followed by a warm
March and April, or that one year OF
an average low temperature is apt to
be followed by a year in which the
temperature will average higher.
Professor George Severance now has
the compilation of the weather data In
charge, and states the standardization
of results as follows:
'For the past fifteen years the ex-
pertinent station has kept close rec
ord Of the temperature of each day OF
the year, striking an average between
the temperature of morning and oven
ing, which we call the mean tempera-
ture.' Having kept the record for a
month the custom has then been TO get
the average mean for the entire
month. In this way we have COM
pared the temperatures of each period
of January and February with the ten-
perature Of the following March and
April periods for the past fifteen years,
and we find that the variations from
the rule for determining what the tenn
perature of spring will be by the tenn
persture of winter, Of one year by aver
aging the temperature of another, are
80 frequent that it is proved that the
weather of one year or month, VI sev
eral months, is absolutely no index t.
what subsequent temperatures will be-. ,

Soreness and stiffnss.

Over exertion, too long continued
exercise. sitting in draft for example,
cooling off when overheated, indeed
anything that tends to check suddenly
the surface circulation, will produce
that wearied, sore feeling recognized as
soreness and stiffness. The best treat
m Mt and quickest is tc start up circu-
la ion by rubbing the core or stiff part
with soft but reasonably rough sub
stance, like a crash or Turkish towel
and apply st. Jacobs Oil freely with
gentle friction.

WEST IS ADVANCING.
President Bryan Compares Schools
With Those of Europe.

President K. A. Bryan, of the Wash
ington State college, has returned from
his to IT of the European capitols, and
at present is preparing series of lee
lures, the subjects Of which be gathered
while abroad. President Bryan's trip
was something in the nature Of an in
vestigation of modern education, both
technical and classical, as found in the
mort advanced and greatest educational
institutions Of nations. Before leaving
America he visited several of Americas
most famous institutions, and both in
England and on the continent called at
the worlds best known centers Of learn
ing. His conclusions were recently
stated as follows:
81 believe the time ia not remotely
distant when the educational institu-
tions of the West, meaning the western
part Of the United States, will be fully
as efficient, and as famed as the best
universities and colleges OF the old
world. The tremendous fund OF natu-
raj wealth in Western states, the rapid
development now in progress, the geo.
graphical position with reference to the
new commercial empire CT the Pacific,
and tie wide-awake nature OF Western
people rake these things certain.
Never again will men have Western
frontier to look to when seeking new
homes for the expansion o. new ideas
Humanity has made its path around the
globe. and now, at the journeys end
the Pacific coast, must there be an up
building, and intensive, rather than ex
tensive, development Of all institu
tions. What this means to the people
OF the West they do not at present full,
comprehend. But the progress o
events nowadays is very rapid, and thu
work of these new forces will be evi
| dent within only few years"
