any day. The cellular biplane has
proven much in this direction. 1t may
be the keynote. In another two or
three years great advances in avia-
ton will be made. Count Zeppelin's
flight into Berlin in his great dirigible
balloon was wonderful triumph for
that type of flyer, and has solved at
least one thing: That the dirigible is
at last partially safe in heavy winds
1t may be made wholly SO, so that a
great airship may ride the wind of a
storm like the Mauretania splits the
teeth of gale at sea. Verify this
be a great and advancing age for
man in his triumphs over the elc-
ments. 1t is a period of wonder
work, and no one can reasonably
question the possibilities of the con
quest of the air Its progress has
been most remarkable.

THE GLORY OF ACHIEVEMENT.

No incentive of man is equal to the
glory of achievement. Whatever pur-
poses we have in life, they become all
the more enhanced when we have
actually accomplished something. Man
is naturally aggressive, but he needs
always the magic inspiration of emit
lation to lead him on to the highest
ideals. He is happiest when he is
doing something happier still when
he does something that will live. 1t
was the glory of achievement that in
spired the marvellous generalship of
Napoleon, that imperial fighter who
never knew qua1m, never feared all
enemy, and whose deeds far outlived
his final defeat. Whatever much
have been Napoleon's last hours, in
his confinement at ST. Helena, he
ruled Supreme above his enemies be-
cause he had the sweet consolation
of having done something-he had
achieved!-that was his compensa
ton And this is the healing balm
to every wounded soul that is bat
tered and torn by distressing dis
couragements in the performance of
his best. To have achieved is mans
browning glory, his solace, his conso-
lation, his JOY.

EDWIN MARKHAM's MUSE.

Edwin Markham announces that he
is going back to California, so that he
may again ride his Pegasus through
the ozone and clouds of the Sierras.
This is as it should be. Mr.. Mark
ham claims that the muses. do not
sing to him when he is away from
the charms of Nature. He found his
inspiration in that far-away land of
the west, where rolls the Oregon"
and where that good old patriarch
poet still finds the thrill of
Nature tuning his song to love and
music. 1t is no wonder that Edwin
Markham tires of the bleak walls of
the city. They produce no action,
save the dull thronody of commerce.
1t takes the cliffs and the trees, the
eagles and the stars, to make us
brothers to the rocks" and the swing
ing worlds above us. There we come
into harmony and balance with
Nature, and get closer to God, when
that adorable love for Mother Earth
makes mankind happiest May dear
old Edwin Markham go where he may
renew his forces sapped by city con
tact, where he may see with the cleo
trio flush of every winter morning
and every summers dawn a glory
that will inspire his pen. And the
Joy will be his, ours and his, when he
sings to us again!

MAN LEARNING TO FLY.

The recent contests with the areo-
plane at Rheims, France, has set the
world agog with thought over the
possibilities of aerial navigation. Ger
tainly the tests so far made are con
vincing enough that at last the heavier
than air flying machine is at least per
fected up to a point where man may
fly for hours without descending; but
the one thing lacking is the power to
take a sail in all kinds of weather.
This may come. 1t may be perfected

OUR THIRD BIRTHDAY.

With this issue "The Palisadian"
has reached its third birthday. In
September, 1906, the first copy of our
unpretentious efforts saw the light

quote here the announcing editorial

A POLITE BOW.

Acknowledging no special de
mand for its existence, except the
pride of every community to have
a paper of its own, THE PAIL
SADIAN smiles on you to-day for
the first time. It's mission will be
to note current events in the pail
SADIE section, to present matters of
general interest, and to be always
pure in tone. Its dominating idea at
all times will be:
Whatsoever things are true; what
soever things are just; whatsoever
things are pure; whatsoever things
are lovely; whatsoever things are OF
good report; if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise, think on
these things"
And alongside of this, word of
appreciation will not be amiss. The
people of Palisade have extended a
warm support to our labors, for which
we are duly thankful. There have
come changes in the policy of the pub
LEGATION from time to time, in each
case relating more to its material bet
terment than to anything else.
In typographical presentation "The
Palisadian" speaks for itself. Men
of taste and good judgment have paid
it high tribute, and this has spurred
us on to renewed effort. 1t has made
us feel that each issue should be at
least different from the last, if not
better.
We feel this way about the little
paper: 1t tells its own story. We
have here a little community of re-
fined, well-educated people Of good
quality, and all with high aspirations.
None in Palisade is retrograding in
the walk up the hill of 1ife-each is
advancing, and progress seems to
favor all. 1t is we'll authenticated
fact that no community of four HIM
dred has as much or better right to
boast of the good quality of its citi-
zens as Palisade, and to that end, and

SLEEP.

Blessings light on him who first
invented sleep! 1t covers man all
over, thoughts and all, like cloak; it
is meat for the hungry, drink for the
thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for
the hot. In short, money that buys
everything: balance and weight that
makes the shepherd equal to the
monarch, and the fool to the wise
Miguel de Cervantes.

NORWAY'S MANY MEALS.
Frequency of Eating Rather Start

Caroline Thurber in the Century Magazine
We came to know typical Norwegian
households with their wholesome, serene
atmosphere. Long evenings were spent
among musicians, lovers OF GrieR who
interpreted his strange music for us as
only Norwegians can. We learned much
OF the intimate and personal sides or
pbsen and Bjornson from their own
friends, and were made familiar with the
artists who are making u name for the
young northern school of painting From
the children in these homes we had glow
ing descriptions of the famed winter
sports-skee- jumping and coasting down
the mountain side and through the for
ests about Cllristiania, under electric
lights, when. at the hour for eating. the
snow about the quaint log hotel OF HoI-
menkollen is planted so close with skees
stuck upright In the snow as 10 look like
some new kind of colossal porcupine.
Among the well-to-do In Norway the
frequency of meals and lighter refresh
mentS is something startling, at least To
the average American: breakfast at ?,
dinner at 3. coffee at $50: regular tea.
with many dishes, in English style, at
4:30. supper at Z, and at IL nature is
finally fortified with further nutriment
for the long, radiant night. These long,
radiant nights, by the way, are a con
slant peril to Christianla. They encour-
age many forms of dissipation and inn
morality, much as the corresponding
darkness Of the long winter brings in its
train q certain sordid depression, both
mental and physical.

Alfonso on the Ferrer Execution.
From Current Literature.


What King Alfonso thought Of the
worldwide agitation over the shooting
of Ferrer is set forth In ali interview
between that monarch and a special cor
respondent of the Paris Journal After
few words on the subject of the at
tempt made on his life Immediately after
his union with the queen. the king said:
II cannot tell you how panied, how
grieved I am to find that SO false an tn
depreciation was placed in France on the
events following the troubles at Bar
celona. l am not speaking of the crowd
whom few newspaper articles are suf-
fcient TO lead astray. The crowd is ever
generous. ready to hasten to the help
of what it believes to be justice, to take
often only the semblance OF truth, and
strives and demonstrates for an idea
which seems to 1t just and which is
sometimes mistaken. No. With ii / have
no quarrel. In it Is the old Latin blood
boiling. But what I cannot conceive is
that the protests should be supported by
so-called inte!lectuals.' What / can
not understand is how a savant, who
would not dare to proclaim a discovery
hundred times. who has such respect
for his science that he will rightly hest
tate to enunciate a truth until he has
convinced himself that il has been
checked and verified beyond refutation;
how this same savant, this same intel
lectual. will protest without inquiry
against a judgment given in conformity
with laws with which he Is unacqualnted
and under a guarantee which certainly
has some value. To hear certain French
men one would think we were a country
of sayages.

Because he had known these things in
a former existence, he understood that he
lay in the lower berth of a flrst-cabin
stateroom, aboard an ocean steamship:
a spacious. bright box of a room, through
whose open ports swayed brilliant shafts
OF temperate sunlight, together with great
gusts of the salt sweet breath of the open
sea. Through them, too, he could see
patches of unclouded blue, athwart which
now and again gulls would sweep on
flashing. motionless pinions.

of being swung through space, only
vaguely conscious of the plunging pulsa-

CAT AND RAT ARE CRONIES.
Eat. Sleep and Play Together
Pussy Defends Her Protege.

From st. Nicholas.
When the white rat was about two
months old by accident a stray cat was
allowed to enter the room. 1t was Inn
mediately expected that pussy would de-
YOUR the rat.
But there was great surprise when the
rat instead of showing fright and run
ming away. ran toward the cat and
nestled itself under the eats warm
breast. The cat is apparently as fond of
this white rat as she would be of her own
kittens.
When they are fed they are given
pieces of meat cut in strings. Each one
gets hold of string at either end and
they try to see which can eat the most
of it. The cat usually wins because she
is the stronger.
If the white rat is missing the cat
hunts first in the wicker basket in which
they sleep together and then i'll every
nook and corner and sometimes in the
cellar or attic until she finds the rat.
Pussy and the white rat have been to-
gether now for a little over a year. and
the cat is thoroughly responsible for this,
for when stray eats come around to the
back door she jumps out of her corner,
shows fight and chases them.

Ozone as Water Purifier.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Ozone is the best water purifier. 1t adds
to the water nothing except oxygen,
which assists in aeration. An ozonizing
plant has been established at st. Maur,
near Paris where the water of the Marine
river was found to contain many disease
germs, even after 1t had passed through
sedimentation basins and sand filters.
The temperature of the water is low
