CLASS TELLS FUNNY STORIES.
Samuel EliCc Institutes Novel Meth
od of Teaching Public Speaking to
Beginners

Students throughout the university
are discussing with interest a novel
method Of teaching elocutiou msti-
tuted in freshman classes by Samuel
Eliot, oxford scholar, and assistant In
physchology and public speaking,
says the I. of O. Weekly. Mr.. Eliot,
who has two of the five large dlyi-
sions of t.c beginning elocution class
es, undertakes his novel method with
the full consent Of Professor 7. NJ
Glen, the head Of the department
The first interest on the campus wa
drawn TO the matter by the repor
Of some Of the freshmen that they
had tor tell funny stories in elocution
classes. Investigation proved that
such was indeed the case, and con-
versatlon with Mr.. Eliot showed the
motive Of such a seeming departure
from generally accepted ideas con.
corning the teaching Of elocution.
THE method" said Mr. Eliot. "is
new so far as my observation has *
tended. 1t is based upon two COM
mon sense principles, first that the
mind, to grasp an idea, must come To-
It with interest; and, second, that as
only so much attention can be given
to a process, the more the process isl
simplfed the more likely 1t is that
good results will wollow.
"By having the students tell stories
! aim to secure their active interest,
to get them warmed UP to the sub
ject in hand.
by having them thus put Pre- + 'eI
before theory, I hope to give a basis,
whereon to apply theory. A football
coach does not tell a man how to fan
on a ball the first thing. He throwsI
the ball on the ground and has tho
man fall on It, Then he correc5s the
method OF falling, and has only ;ol
correct the errors in the operation. So
the aim In my method is TO get the
student TO speak first without rules.
He Is bound TO do 1t partly right. Then
will be made and G-eoryI
applied upon the basis Of the showing
made at the start"

the Hudson Bay country says the
Walla Walla Bulletin.
The filings for the additional wa
ter were made with the recorder Of
Umatilla county at Pendleton, by
George d. O'Conner and John F..
Tate, employees Of the company, and
it is declared. for the company.
O'Connor filed on water at Table
Rock and Tate at what is known as
Elbows"
It is rumored that the Walla Walla
Valley Traction company has simply
made these filings to head off the
Washington oregon company, which
s at present at work developing pow
er on the Walla Walla river. Whether
this is the reason cannot be deter
mined, but if it is, it will probably
mean a hard race for completion Of
the two projects in the Blue noun
tains.
The Washington-O Oregon company
has crew Of men on the Walla
Walla river constructing a road and
doing preliminary work towards the
Of a huge power house
there. Representatives declare that
taey will commence on the erection Of
their power house as soon as the city
n Walla Walla grants the company
a franchise in the city, as money for
the project cannot be secured until
have been granted.
The elbow Is two miles above the
present intake Of the power company's
fume, while Table Rock is eight miles
above. The company uses 300 inches
II water to operate the present plant.

Prof. Eric Doollttle, assistant pro-
fessor of astronomy at the University
OF Pennsylvania, said at the university
observatory that the spots upon the
sun could not be held accountable for
the recent drought.
anyone who looks through a piece
OF smoked glass at the sun can distin-
guish one of these small spots with
out the aid of a telescope" said he.
'The spots are small, being only 120,-
coo square miles in area He does
not think that any such small spots
as these could influence rain upon
the earth.
among the spots upon the sun
there Is, however, one 5000 miles
In diameter. This is the smallest one
and several hundred worlds could
probably be placed in this sun spot
The spots which have been watched
by the astronomers are of an unusual
character.
"As the sun revolves the spots
will probably move towards the sur
face, and before another revolution Of
the sun they will likely have been
broken up. Should the spots main
tain their limit of endurance, they
weeks longer.
"They are caused by either the
projection or the formation of bodies
Of cooler matters coming into col
! lision with the sun. They break up
and disappear as the foreign matter
is consumed by the tremendous heat
Of the surroundings.
prof Simon Newcomb OF the
Johns Hopkins University has proved"
said Prof Doollttle that sun spots
have no bearing upon the tempera-
ture, the storms and the rainfall on
the earth. Prof. Helmholz Of Berlin
has proved that the sun is cooling off
slowly. that the small stars which fall
ints the fiery mass are consumed
cause the temporary spots, the sun.
at the same time. throwing out the
heat The sun will probably go out
Of business in about 10000 years.
"Encke's comet has come into view
again In the southern Hemisphere. Il
last appeared in 1905 and it is book

9achlund had calculated that Encke's
comet was due TO be seen from North
America about April 80. but some
thing delayed IT, II was not reported
from Cape Town observatory until
May 2S.
"Th.s comet OF much interest to
scientists. has slightly changed its or

VIRGINIA NEGRO GOES

Richmond, Va, oct. 12.-The first
execution under the new Virginia law
atol.shing hanging and substituting
electrocution is scheduled for tomor-
row. when Henry Smith, colored, will
pay the life penalty for one Of the
most heinous crimes ever committed
in this state.
Smith was convicted in the Nor
folk county court OF criminal assault
upon Mrs Katherine Powell, a 10
year old Portsmouth woman. He has
had two trials. and it is unlikely that
the governor will interfere with the
execution Of the sentence.
