MIGHTY Atoms,

The change which a single decade
has wrought in the general knowledge
Of atoms and molecules is not easily
grasped. Attempting to make the mat
ter more clear in Il lecture at the Royal
institute, in London. Sir j. Thomson
pointed out that radium represented
the greatest concentration Of power
known. breaking up with the emission
of million times as much energy as
is produced by the combination of an
equal weight of oxygen and hydrogen.
The corpuscles. or atoms, of helium are
thrown off with a tenth of the velocity
of light. or about $4,000 miles a sec

child's play as compared with the
bOmbardment of an atom by these par

of a gas under the action of radium
can be had by imagining 4 town bonn

great velocity as any projectile ever
shot from a cannon. To account for
this amazing power is a most interest

Menelik's Descent.

lie Soir of Brussels in a recent issue
has an article in which the writer at
tempts to prove that Menelik of Abys-
sinia is the descendant of Europeans.
His grandfather" says the author,
was no. less a parsonage than the
French author Lamartine. whose
daughter Julia inherited the poets
wanderlust and spent many years in
the orient. where it was supposed she
had died. 1t is known that only the
father was present when the body q
was buried in France" The queer
biography maintains that the coffin
contained only stone and that Julia,
who had been stolen by Bedouins and
sold as a slave to King Solomon of
Abyssinia. was then alive; also that
the Abyssinian fell in love with the
white slave. made her his queen, and
her son is the present ruler Of Abys-

JUDGE RULES AGAINST SALOONS
Holds No Ground For Action In
Election Contest
Working for State Prohibition

At the hearing of the case OF Newport
saloon men against the Town OF New
port. held at ColviIle Monday before
Judge Sullivan, OF Spokane county, first
blood was drawn bv the attorneys Tor
the town. They presented a de-
murrer, in which they alleged that the
saloons had no just cause for action IN
contesting the validity Of the election on
account of defects in the petition. The
saloons in their comploint alleged that
the election was invalid because the pc
tition did not set forth the precinct in
which each voter resided. Judge Sulli-
van sustained the demurrer, holding
that it was not necessary to show the
precinct in the case of a town the size OF
Newport, where there is but one pre-
cinct.
Joseph & Grinstead asked for time to
file an amended complaint for the saloon
men, and were given until next Monday
to do so. when the case will again be
argued.
Tuesday, Nov. 9, is the date of the
election fer the county unit and the
county local option league plans an
active campaign during the last week to
get out the voters.
The American Issue, the organ OF the
National Anti-Saloon Leagne, makes no

ton to work for state wide prohibition
for the state of Washington. 1t reprints
lengthy article from the official paper
Of the Washington Royal Arch, in which
the plans of the state anti-saloon league
are commented on, and in which it is
stated that as soon as the Eastern Wash
ington field is taken care of the dry
movement will be extended to Western
Washington and the large cities of the
state, beginning with Spokane.
The Issue says that it is willing to
admit that the goal of the league is a
dry state. Efforts will be made to con-
troll the Legislature in 1911 and bring
dUOuG tIlC vi law
If the Democrats were sincere in their
declaration for prohibition last year, il
ought not to be difficult to urge the Re-
publicans on from local option to dry
plank in their platform.
Since the local option law went into
effect the following towns in the state
have gone dry: Newport, Rockford
Cashmere, Puyallup, Spangle, Wen
atchee, Colville, Kettle Falls, Hartline
Deer Park, Washtunca. Bothell, Che

Washington has 157 incorporated
towns. Counting the towns which were
dry before local option was brought up

units will vote on the issue in the nea

Theodore Roosevelt said: Every
person who invests in we'll selected real
estate in growing section of prosper
Gus country adopts the snrest and safest
method of being independent, for real
estate is the basis of all wealth." Theo-
dore Roosevelt also said Spokane was
one of the best cities in the United
States.
The one remarkable feature about
buying lots in growing city is that they
steadily increase in value, and before
the owner realizes it he has property
which is worth three or four times what
he originally paid for it. It is nothing
out of the ordinary for man to buy lots
in Spokane on the installment plan,
paying $40 down, and before the next
payment is due have it resold at good
profit. This is the way so much wealth
has been accumulated by people who
foresee the possibilities and grasp the
opportunity to buy lots in CITY that is
rapidly forging ahead.
At the present time there is probably
no real estate concern in the Northwest
offering the public better opportunity
to make money in lots than the Burns
Realty Co., of Spokane. who own Inwood
Park, where they are selling lots which,
by reason of the location. only twenty
minutes car ride from the business CEN
ter, are bound to increase in value and
paw enormous profits on the investment.
Upon good authority it is stated that
the Union Trust Co., of Spokane, have
been issuing all deeds to buyers of In
wood Park lets, which is an assurance
OF good title and protects the buyers
against loss-a very important factor in
buying lots.

Princess Won Bulow. the wife Of the
recently resigned imperial chancellor.
Her interest in the arduous work Of
her famous husband is of the deepest
kind. and he often consulted her about
the various problems of state. Her
fondness for the prince is. indeed, pro-

the spores are set free in the water
At this time any disturbance of the
bean plants will scatter these spores
in the flying drops of water In this
way they reach healthy plants near
by. This explains why beans should
not be cultivated or handled in the
early morning while the dew is still
on them or directly after a shower
The spores of the anthracnose fungus
are scattered only when they are wet
This will also explain why a warm
rainy season is so favorable to the de-
velopment of the fungus. The spores
require moisture in which to be dis
tributed and in which to terminate
A relatively high temperature is also
most favorable to the disease. The
spores are produced in limited num-
bers in the spots on the pod.
Considering the manner in which
the fungus finds its way into the seed.
it seems evident that If no spots are
to be found on the pods. none of the
seed within will be diseased That is
to say, healthy pods contain healthy
seed.
Several investigators have reported
remarkable results from spraying with
Bordeaux mixture. After three sea
sons observations in large bean fields
where the most up-to date machinery
is used. machinery particularly adapt.

forced to the opinion that spraying
with Bordeaux mixture is. to say the
very least. Improbable.
