STATE ORPHANAGE AT WALLA

GRAND LODGE AT BELLING-

appropriation of $4,000 for the con-
struction of a three-story brick addi-
ton to the state orphanage at Walla
Walla will be made this week by the
grand lodge of the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows, in session here. In
lcreasing demands are the cause. There
is no opposition.
North Yakima probably will win
the session for 1910. Walla Walla
gets the convention every fifth year
and had it last year. Seattle gets
the national sovereign grand lodge
for the A.-Y.-P. fair and is not ask
| ing the state meetings next year.
Other contestants are Spokane, Ia
coma, Everett and Hoquiam and
Aberdeen combined. Hoquiam and
North Yakima are bidding strongly.
Officers were elected today for the
grand eneampment as follows:
Grand patriarch, J. Carter Smith,
of Walla Walla; grand high priest.
C. E. Lum, of North Yakima: grand
senior warden, F. w. Stewart, of Sc

GREAT YOUNG AMERICANS

THE history of the United States shows that
L it is no uncommon thing for young men to
achieve national fame and to be intrusted with
important public functions
1t is possible that at the present time the
average age of local or municipal officers IS less
than formerly. but it is fact that the high
offices of the States and the nation have from
the first often been held by young men.
At the very beginning of the Republic.
Thomas Jefferson. in the Continental Congress,
wrote the Declaration of Independence when
he was thirty-three. He had entered the
Virginia Legislature at twenty-six, and had
obtained prominence there.
Alexander Hamilton surpassed his great OPP
ponent, Jefferson, in early advancement. He
was a member of Congress at twenty-five, and
member of President Washington's Cabinet
at thirty-two.
James Madison was a Congressman at
twenty mine; and John Randolph at twenty
six. while John Quincy Adams was appointed
Minister to the Netherlands when only twenty
seven.
Washington himself had been striking in
stance of precocity in the public service: for
he was appointed Adjutant General of the
Virginia troops at nineteen, at twenty-four re-
ceived the chief command of the Virginia forces
and was only forty-three when he took COM
mand of the American army at Cambridge.
Daniel Webster entered Congress at thirty
one land Henry clay was appointed oenatOf at
twenty -nine. before he was of constitutional
age. Clay had previously won great reputa-
ton as member of the Kentucky Legislature.
He was elected Speaker of the national House
of Representatives at thirty-four.
John c. Calhoun entered the South Carolina
Legislature at twenty-six, and Congress at
Twenty-Five. At thirty-ive he became Secre-
tary of War, and occupied the Office for seven
years.
Andrew Jackson was a marvel of precocity:
He carried flintlock musket, soldier of
the Revolutionary army, at the age of fourteen.
ton District Attorney of Tennessee. He was a
United States Senator at thirty. He did not
reach the presidency until he was sixty-two.
John c. Breckenridge the youngest
elected on the ticket with Buchanan when he
was thirty-six. He had been elected Mem
Der of Congress at thirty.

librarian sat down and wrote out the book
from memory, his copy not differing by so
much as a word from the original.
He had a notable memory for details. One
writer declared that he could name all the
authors who had ever written on any subject,
giving the name of the book and even the
page. Once the Grand Duke of Florence
asked him if he could procure certain book.
and Maglabechi replied mo. sire: there is
only one copy in the world; that is in the
Grand Seignior's library at Constantinople,
and is the seventh book on the seventh shelf

Other Great Memories
OTHER minds have been equally retentive
of dry facts. Phny says that Cyrus the
Great knew the names of everyone OF his
soldiers, and Cicero in his DE Senectute"
asserts that Themistocles could call twenty
thousand Athenian citizens by name. Sir
William Hamilton, in his Lectures on Meta
could repeat list of thirty-six thousand
names. The historian Niebuhr restored from
memory part of book of accounts that had
been destroyed. Ben ,onson claimed ability
to recall every word he had ever written, and
whole books besides that he had read
1t is we'll known that for several centuries
the Homeric poems were transmitted from
generation to generation solely by recitation.
They were not reduced to writing until five
or six centuries after the supposed date OF the
poet.
Joseph Justus Scaliger, a famous sixteenth
century savant, became dissatisfied with his
progress in Greek and closeted himself with
Homer and Latin translation. In twenty
one days he committed the Iliad to memory.
Casaubon says of him, He read nothing (and
what did he not read y which he did not forth
with remember"
In Music and Art
MOZART memorized the music of the Mis-
A'A erere after hearing it twice only; and it
is among musicians to-day that memory is
most used as an every day accomplishment.
Hundreds of pianists and others can play for
hours. or even days, from memory. Many or
chestra conductors can dispense with the scores.
The painters Horace Vernet and Gustave
Dore could paint portraits from memory, and
the retentiveness of artists minds for colors
is also remarkable. Asa Gray once assured a
friend that he could recall the names of twenty
five thousand plants. and Professor Theodore
Gill has the same faculty in respect to fishes.
Probably everyone who knows three or four
languages has that many words at his COM
mand. The ten thousand verses of the Rigveda
are in the minds of thousands of Brahmans, and
have been for thirty centuries Mohammedans
recite the Koran without difficulty, and the
chiefs of Polynesia can and do repeat hundreds
of thousands of words in their genealogies,
taking days and even weeks for the task.
