Opinion. Of others.

I never yet knew any man so bad
but some have thought him honest ard
afforded him love; nor any one SO
good but some have thought him vile
and hated him. Few are so thorough
ly wicked as not to be estimable to
some; and few are SO just as not to
seem unequal; ignorance. envy and
partially enter much into the opinions
we form of others. Nor can man, in
himself, always appear alike to all. In
some, nature has made disparity; in
some, report has blinded judgment,
and in others accident is the cause of
disposing us to love or hate.-Owen

Prediction of Earthquakes.

Although seismologists have not yet
succeeded in finding out any means
of definitely predicting the occurrence
of an earthquake, they are hopeful of
finally arriving at this desired goal;
and already they can discern danger
by the pulsations which are always
greatly agitating the surface of the
earth. A sudden cessation of these
heart-beats is a danger signal, ex-
IRENE stiffness invariably preceding
an earthquake, whereas constant ire
mors are good sign. A great earth
quake is almost always followed by
weaker ones, and when it is violent
and destructive the number of minor
shocks following it may amount to
hundreds or even thousands, and con-
tinue for several months or years.
The occurrence of after-shocks is
quite natural and necessary for set

not, for long time, be followed by
another of a magnitude comparable
to its own in the same or neighbor

Attention Land Purchasers

Will you need money to pay for
the land you bought?
If so Nowis the time to arrange
for it.
The enormous sale of land all
over Iowa and the high prices paid
means a greater demand for money
next spring than has ever been
known before. This also means a
close money market and possibly
higher rates of interest. The wise
man looks ahead and does not wait
until the last moment. We have a
large fund that we can rely upon
and are taking applications daily
for March /, next. In the 81 years
we have been loaning money in
Audubon and adjoining counties
we have never disappointed a pa.

The Pole Star.

Ursa Major and Ursa Minor are
known also as the triones and as the
Greater Vain and the Lesser Vain. 1t
Is curious to note that the larger con-
stellatiOn was given the figure of the
bear by the Arabs and by the IrOquois
red men. The assumed forms are or
dinarily fanciful. and the identity Of
the names In this instance affords food
for speculation. Homer uses both bear
and vain (wagon) In his references to
these stars. 1t Is evident that the
name bear was translation from
some original Aryan language, as the
constellation Is called in Sanskrit

ders means both bear and a star. OF
course the polar star in the tail of Ursa
Minor Is the CONSULTATIONS point Of

that the tail wags the dog, because the
