The Whit and the Arm.

The real wrist, as one might say, Is
the elbow joint. 1t is all hand, prac-
tically spcakNg, from that point to the
tips OF the fingers. When you turn
your wrist II is the whole forearm
that makes the twist, and every move
ment Of the fingers is controlled by the
muscles OF the forearm. The power
to turn the wrist to and fro at the ell
bow joint Is possessed only by human
beings and monkeys, and even the
higher apes are not able to do the trick
nearly as well as we can. In this
movement the great blceps muscle
In Che upper arm is Importantly con-
cerned, its powerful action in turning
the forearm outward being accounta-
BILE for the fact that we are able TO
put so much more strength into twist
in that direction than the opposite
way. Many Of our most familiar tools
indeed, such as the screwdrlver, are
made with reference to the anatomical
popularity In question. II is for this
reason and no other that all screws
turn to the right.

OUR TIME STANDARDS.
The -Four Sections That Divide the
United States.

The -Four Sections That Divide the
United States.
Every nation has its own time stand.
Ird, but the United States has four.
These time sections, as they are called,
were introduced In the year 1898,
chiefly for the benefit Of the railroads,
and are known as the eastern, central,
mountain and Pacific The eastern
section extends from the Atlantic coast
to an irregular line drawn from De-
troit to Charleston, 6. c.; the central
includes all between this line and an
other extending from Bismarck, N. D.,
to the mouth of the RiO Grande river;
the mountain extends from here to the
western boundary OF Montana, Idaho.
Utah and Arizona, and the Pacific JIM
cludes all the remainder OF the coun-
try to the Pacific coast.
The difference In time between adj
joining sections is one hour, so that
when It is IL o'clock In New York city
It is IL o'clock at Chicago 10 o'clock at
Denver and o o'clock at San Francisco.
The true local time OF any place is
slower or faster than the standard
time, according as the place is west
or east OF the time meridian. Thus the
local time at Boston is sixteen minutes
faster than eastern standard time,
while at Buffalo 1t is sixteen minutes
slower.-Harper's Weekly. ,.y y

The Clever Scheme That Was Worked

Coincide Franchise, and after the per-
Torrance he took a gloomy byway in
order to make a short cut to the Bou-
levard MontmartTe He noticed as he
FASTENED through the dark a slight tug
on his coattail but to this he paid no
attention. When he reached the bright
boulevard, however, he found, to his
great modification, that one tail of his
clawhammer coat had been cut off.
He notified a journalist Of his loss, and
the next morning an account OF the
odd theft appeared In the Figaro. That
afternoon q man In a blue uniform
called on him.

HEAD FROM WEST
FROM SOUTHWEST
(From Saturdays Daily

Rev. L. c. Kirkes, pastor OF the
Fillmore Presbyterian church, has
just returned from his vacation. He
spent the time at his former home in
Georgia, and reports a most enjoy
able visit. He states that the crops
are all that could be desired--they
are fine all the way through. Even
though he had fine time, and en-
joyed to the utmost the opportunity
to visit with relatives and friends Of
other days, he states that Amarillo
and the Panhandle are amply good
for him. 1t is the expressed opinion
of Rev. Kirkes that this is the great
est country in the world.
The minister states that there will
be great movement from the state
OF Georgia to the West this season.
There will doubtless be many parties
from that section OF the country just
as soon as the harvest is over.

Reed and Strout.

Thomas b. Reed served In the navy
during the civil war, and In 1865 he
returned TO Portland to practice law.
One OF the strongest men at the Port
land bar at the time was A. A. Strout.
Before beginning the trial of a suit 1t
was strouts habit to inquire Of every
juror as to the state OF his health and
impress each with the idea that the
lawyer was solicltous of that jurors
personal welfare. Reed and Srout
were constantly aptagonlzlng each
other, though they were very good
friends. In nearly every case OF I'm
portnnce Strout and Reed were on OPP
poste sides. 1t was annoying indeed
for the suave Strout to hear Reed
drawl out before the opening Of a
CASE
"Well, your honor, Brother Strout
having finished his morning task OF
shaking hands with the jury, we may
now, hope, proceed with the busi-
