BOOM DAYS AHEAD IN THE
AERONAUTICAL WORLD.

Among those who have ordered fly
ing machines from the Wrights are
the Shah of Persia and a leading
Chinese reformer. These men are apt
to find themselves in tight places any
day. and it will make life little
more cheerful for them to realize that
if the opposition comes around looking
for distinguished victim a run to the
roof and jump into the aeroplane
may be the means of averting trag-
edy. The eager interest with which
royalty has been following the per-
.formances of the Wrights is not SO
difficult to explain when you consider
the unique advantage possessed by the
aeroplane as a mode Of escape.
It Is also interesting to observe that
the Ohio high-1yers have more than
eighty orders on hand and that big
capitalists want to help them. Evi-
IDENTIFY the world is taking considerable
stock in fight a la Wright. 1t needed
only some such practical demonstra-
tions as the Dayton boys have been
giving to convince the civilized world
that the great secret had been partly
solved At last. We look for boom
DAYS among the various aero clubs.

one day he said.

What is known as poetic license
gives wide latitude for ideas and
expression, but occasionally poet
oversteps the boundary and brings
upon himself the condemnation of the
public. If the explanation alleged to
have been made ty William Watson.
the English poet for the writing of
"The Woman With Serpent's Ton
que" is correct, then he is guilty of a
gross breach of confidence and ungen-
tlemanly conduct that will lower him
considerably in the estimation of those
who recognize the merits of his poetry
but who also believe that even poet
should observe social amenities and
respect condolences.

Oregon banks show a remarkabl,

Oregon banks show a remarkably
healthy condition, according to the
report of State Bank Examiner Steel.
Assets and Liabilities of the private
and national banks Of the state at the
close Of business on November 16 are
compared with the same statistios on
November 27, 1908, much to the dis
advantage of the earlier date. An
increase Of 81 per cent in loans and
discounts and individual deposits is
shown for the current year. Individ-
ual deposits in banks have increased
$6.l03,678 over last year. certainly
strcng evidence of the prosperity of
the state. A gain of more than $21,-
900, 900 in resources of the banks in a
3single year is striking proof of the
advance Oregon has made during
the past twelve months. This is part
'ly due to the marketing of large
lumber cut but the high prices at
which the agricultural staples were
marketed had an even stronger effect
on the figures.

often neutralized by its own follies.
Nervous and mental diseases are on
ttle increase simply because society
lives too high and goes at too rapid a
pace. Hurry, sensationalism, the
craving for excitement, the mad eager
ness for wealth, and pleasures that
violate all rules for health are respon-
sible for the alarming increase in
sudden deaths, heart failure, nervous
breakdown and insanity. If society
would cooperate with science it
would gain immensely in health and
