Puzzlina Orchid limitations.

Orchid limitations are a puzzle to
flower scholars. The whole appear
ance of the flower is suggestive of
some insect. sometimes to quite re-
markable degree. 1t does not seem
easy to find any real purpose that
could be served by this resemblance,
yet no one imagines that ii can be
accidental. Any one who knew of the
bee orchid. native of Europe. and
came upon it for the first time would
at once recognize it. 1t seems to be
a large. velvety brown backed bee
variegated with yellow. The two pet
ais might serve we'll for the wings of
the insect. In the center of the lip. of
the fly orchid there is small blush
spot like the body of fly. The two
lateral petals are slender and curiously
like the antennae of an insect. The
whole illusion is complete and sug-
gests to the casual glance that few
flies are hanging on the stem of some
plant which has cast it's f1owers.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-03-16

Because they chance to have the
power to do so, a little handful Of
men in the state senate insist on
downing the normal schools of the
state. From appearances they will
refuse even to appropriate money to
run the schools until June. They
will not listen to the proposition to
support the schools during the COM
ing two years or until the people of
the state have said what they want
to do regarding the normals.
There is nothing fair about the
course of this senate anti-normal
clique. These men refused even to
go into caucus and abide by what a
majority Of the two houses desire.
Though the anti-normal men consti-
tute a minority of the legislature, by
a peculiar twist of fate they are able
to dominate the situation and they
are doing ii with a vengeance.
One Of the worst features of the
whole business is that the normal
problem IS not solved. In their OBJ
stinancy the anti-normal senators
have refused TO cooperate with their
fellow legislators in working out a
solution. These men have been
against the normals and they have
insisted on putting them in the most
unfavorable light possible. So they
propose to make the schools go un-
used during the next two years in or
der that when the people vote upon
the question the normals will be al
ready half dead. 1t is taking an un-
fair advantage Of the schools and
the action is all the more reprehen-
sible because the state will have to
do without normal training for two
years.
All Of this is very grinding to those
who are interested in education 1t
.s very grinding upon the people Of
eastern Oregon for the action taken
cripples the only state school this
part Of Oregon has. But It is the sit
uation and seemingly must be en-
dured. All we can do is to hope
that when the people Of the state vote
upon the subject they will favor a
normal school system that will really
serve the state and will not establish
one normal at some point in the Will
lamette valley.
