THE sEXAPHONE.

Recently in London there was sub
mitted to public test a curious scien-
tific instrument called a seXaphone-
the mention of a working engineer
named Williams-the object of which
is to determine the sex of all animate
and some inanimate objects, includ-
ing human beings and eggs. The ap-
paratus is of a most simple character
and consists of copper wire and a
piece of magnetized steel, at the lower
end of which is suspended a pith ball.
At the opposite end is wooden hand
lie inlet with copper, which Is aeld in
the center of the palm. The pith ball
when the instrument is held over the
object to be operated on, will either
gyrate or swing like pendulum. If
it gyrates the object is a male; if it
swings. a la pendulum. the is
feminine. Some amusement was
caused when the appartus -2s held
over the heads of several We'll known
people in the audience, but It never
once failed in revealing the so.:-now
swinging in circles when covering" a
gentleman and anon acting like PEN
dulum in the case of lady.-Techni-

NOTHING UNEXPECTED.

A young New York broker of con-
vival habits fell in with an old
school friend who had gone on the
road.
whenever you're in town come up
and bunk with me-" he urged his
friend as they separated. 'No matter
what old time it is. If I'm not there
just go ahead and make yourself at
home. I'll be sure to turn up before
daybreak."
Soon after this the salesman arrived
in town about midnight, and, rem
embering his friends invitation,
sought out his boarding house. There
was only a dim light Pickering in the
hail. but he gave the bell manful
pull. Presently he found himself face
to face with a landlady of grim and
terrible aspect. 20
Does Mr.. Smith live here?" he fall
tered.

CHoATEs PRIZE LAW STORY.

One of the best law stories told by
Rufus Choate has it's setting in Chi
cago court 1t was one of the many
cases in which gentlemen of the
gambling fraternity somehow manage
to become inolved, and one of the
gentry was undergoing a cross-exami-
nation which did not seem to worry
him particularly. The assistant state
attorney, who was conducting the
case, became exasperated at the per-
sistency with which the witness main
tanned statements averse to the prose-
cution.
"You are sure of that?" he yelled,
In respect to one particular point at
issue. Remember, you are under
oath. You are prepared to swear to
that statement"
"Swear to it?" was the unexpected
and calm reply. why, Mr.. Lawyer
and your honor, I'd not only swear to
IL, but I would bet hundred on 1t

FINISH THE WORK.

Some weeks ago a movement was
started TO raise money to keep the
publicity bureau going after the pres
ent fund has been used up. The
movement was given much encourage
ment at the time and the people of
Hermiston agreed to do their part
towards keeping up the publicity
work.
But of late nothing has been said
OF done regarding the bureau. Is it
possible that the effort to keep the
bureau going will be given up and the
exploitation work completely dropped
when the present fund is exhausted?
If the publicity bureau is allowed
to die for want of support Pendleton
and Umatilla county will make SER
ious mistake. This county has great
undeveloped resources and it is in need
OF much honest, intelligent advertis-
ing. People in other sections should
be informed regarding the opportuni-
ties in this county and should be in
yited to come here. Other sections
of the northwest are advertising ex-
tensively. Many of the counties that
are doing so have much less to offer
newcomers than has Umatilla.
If Umatilla county is to hold its own
and is to receive its share of the new
settlement then the county must COM
pete with other northwest sections in
doing earnest, consistent publicity
work. In carrying on this work all
sections of the county should CO.
operate because the benefits will be
for all the county.
A good start has been made towards
raising money to continue the pub
licity bureau Why not continue the
work until it is finished.

UNKNOWN OPPORTUNITIES.

The real possibilities Of oregon for
further development are overlooked
by those already here as well as by
those in the east.
Oregon is truly a lana of oppor-
tunity, yet in fact is just becoming
known imperfectly in the Nation at
large, says the Evening Telegram.
Stump land now worth IS to $35 an
acre hides the future orchard that will
be worth $500 to $1,000. Rich river
bottoms and slopes, either wastes now
or pastured at little profit, are the
future truck and garden farm, the
berry patch and the small orchard.

porous American farmers rushing to

chard story? We fear not. Has the
scientific horticulturist Of the Middle
West, where frosts, drouth and hot
Summer winds attack his fruit alter
nately, been told properly Of oregon's
latent orchard wealth? Surely not,

CUBA'S DELINQUENCY.

Cuba is already sliding back from
the high plane upon which the island
was placed during the American pro-
tectorate. The Cuban house has just
passed a bill authorizing the estab-
llshment of a national lottery. If the
bill becomes a law it Will be distinc--
ly a retrograde movement for the
Cubans.
But the gambling spirit is strong
among the Cubans as well as among
all other semi-tropical people. In
the less enlightened countries lotter-
les are conducted by the governments
because they afford sure method
of raising revenues. Under the Span
isl. rule in Cuba lotteries were freely
tolerated. After having lived under
such conditions for generations it is
not surprising that the Cubans now
show an inclination to lapse back tc
the old conditions. 1t is the same spir-
il that causes the educated Indian tC

AIRSHIP PRICES.

SO far has the development of the
airship proceeded that announcements
are now being made regarding the
probable price of aeroplanes. Wright
brothers say that the minimum price
for an aeroplane will be $500. An
aeroplane to carry three people may
cost $4,000. Then to this cost must
be added the charges for repairs,
maintenance, instruction and perhaps
physicians fees and undertaker's
bills.
For a time at least the airship
-ill be a luxury that only the very
wealthy may afford. This is well be-
cause Improvements will be made
constantly and an aeroplane that may
be considered good one day may be
discarded as obsolete the next.
But in spite of the high prices
people will buy aeroplanes. There
are people who want anything that is
expensive and beyond the reach of
the ordinary mortal. 1t Is well that
such is the case. Because of this
tendency the manufacture of air.
ships will be encouraged. Gradually
the air travellers will be developed
and the cost of construction cheap
ened until the aeroplane will become
as common as an automobile which
but few years ago was a rare luxury.
