Experimentation, Mr.. +. L. Bellamy,
counsel for the society, denies that
It ever proposed the prohibition of
vivisection. The society stands, he
says, upon precisely the platform
where Herbert Spencer, the greatest
Of English scientists, stood when in
1895 he with nearly 200 of the most
prominent physicians in England and
In this country, signed a statement in
which he said:
1--WE believe. therefore. that the
common interests of humanity and
science demand that vivisection, like
the study of human anatomy in the
dissecting room, should be brought un-
der the direct supervision and control
of the state. The practice. whether In
public or in private, should be restrict

and surrounded by every possible safe

Queries For the Doctors.
How can legitimate scientific work
by competent men bc injured by n law
which will limit all vlvisection TO com,
petent persons?
How can legitimate scientific work
be injured by law which will com.
pei the use of ana esthetics in all cases
where the success of the experiment
does not make the use of annesthetlcs
impractlcable?
IL our proposed legislation does not
fully protect legitimate scientific work.
why do not our opponents who crti.
else 1t accept our often repeated invi.
tation and suggest some amendment
which will fully protect scientific re-
search?
why the secrecy with which vlvisec.
tlon is surrounded? Has the disem
boweling of living animals, in order to
experiment with their vital organs. or
the amputatlon Of lir:bs from one ami
NAL and attaching them to another
become 50 painless that the public
has no interest to know what effort Is
made to save unnecessary suffering?
Or is the brutality of the whole
thing so hideous or so unnecessary
that the operators do not dare to let in
the light of investigation upon It?
We again challenge them to open
the doors of their star chamber lnbora-
tories and let the truth be known. In
no other way can they quiet the pub
lie apprehension or avert the legisla-
tion Of which they have such dread.

FARMERS TO PAVE

NORTH YAKIMA, Nov 13.-Nob
Hill ranchers are planning to pave
two mile stretch on the Summit
View road at cost of $4,000. The
extension of the street car line
through this section is expected
shortly, and each rancher has given
two feet along his entire frontage
to widen the roadbed, making a 60
foot road. Petrolithic paving will
be used.
The paving will cost anywhere
from $500 to $1,000 apiece, but they
say then consider it a good invest
ment of their money. The district
through which this road runs ic
the wealthiest in North Yakima,
consisting of 5, 10 and % acre
ranches in bearing orchard, which
are held at from $500 to $1,000 an
acre. There are handsome and mod
ern homes all along the highway.

ers are behind the paving project.

BOSTON, Nov. 13.-Harry Up.
Bosom of Reading whistled in
church while attending divine wOr-

asked about it Bosom said he was
not asleep and explained his action
by telling the following story:
THE minister said just before the
contribution that anyone who put
80 cents or more into the con-
tribution box was entitled and ex-
pected to whistle. AS the collec-
tors were on their way the whis-
Ting came from all parts of the
room and was not far from uni
versal. When it came to me it
was up to me to dig down and
content myself with whistle"
This is the latest way Of raising
money for churches.

ease, some from neglect, some
from accident and injuries, and no
efforts, are being made by the park
board to replenish the rapidly de-

Some of the handsomest, some
of the rarest and some of the
most valuable specimens of animal
life which have for years been the
pride of the Portland public have
pinned away because they did not
receive the attention they re-
quired. Others gave up the I'M
equal fight because when ailing
there was no one to remedy their
ills, none that seemed to know
their individual ailments and, more
pitiful still, it would appear that
those in whose hands their care
and comfort have been placed have
not cared particularly what became

whose cunning antics ana capers
have been the delight of thousands
of children, have furnished amuse-
ment for older people and have
been source of instruction to
