Danish Invention.

"The Poulsen wireless is the result
of years of work on the part of ylad-
mire Poulsen of Copenhagen, and he
started on the same lines as Marconi
did years ago. After much research,
Poulsen decided that Marconi was on
the wrong track, and he worked for a
long time on the invention that has
now turned out to be the greatest mar
vel of the age
"The waves from the other wireless
systems start out big, but dwindle away
just as the ripples created by a stone
thrown into a pond. The waves from
the Poulsen wireless maintain their
length over the full distance they are
sent. That is the difference and the
reason that our system is so wonderful

The Oleo Riqht.

Anticipating an attempt this winter
by congress to repeal the GrOut bill,
which places a tax Of 10 cents a pound
on oleo colored in imitation Of butter,
the national grange instructed its leg

to prevent such action and, further
more, to keep each subordinate grange
in the United States acquainted with
the progress of the campaign and to
secure their cooperation and influence.

There is no more democratic
clergyman in all England than the
Bishop Of Liverpool, who is espe-
cially fond of assocIating with the
workingmen of his diocese. The
other day he invited all the work
ers OF the Cunard Line to meet
him in one Of the huge workshops
of the company and here he
preached special sermon to en-
gineers, boiler-makers, smiths and
other mechanics, who listened to
him with the utmost attention.
Some Rugged the warm corner
of the smithy hearths, where
they finished their midday
meal or smoked their pipes.
Others stepped boldly out and
joined heartily in the hymns led
by harmonlum brought from one
of the Cunard liners.
From the moment the Bishop
began he held them in complete
grip. He gave them as motto
He careth for you. From the
first to the last there was not
touch Of patronage in the Bishops
message, while the men were
quick to note and to appreciate
the absence from it of the least
nambypambyism. Cheering was
INDUCED in when the Bishop had
finished, and the general feeling
OF the men was we'll expressed by

THE EARTH LARGER
THAN WAS SUPPOSED
Government Scientists Fix It's CirCum-
ference Within Abcut Forty Feet.

NONtA ' = t+AANA 4 y l'CA 49, W SAAS NtAAA
bridge Conference of the Interna-
tional Geodetic Association, indi-
cate that the earth is slightly
larger than has been heretofore
supposed by scientists. The fiat
tening at the poles is also found to
be somewhere between the previous
estimates of Clarke and of Bessel.
The semi diameter OF equatorial
radius Of the globe can now be
calculated within less than s feet
Of its true length-wh1ch means
that the equatorial circumference
can now be determined to within
less than 40 feet Of its true length.
To be exact, the possible error is
only IS meters as to the equatorial
radius or semi-diameter. A meter
is 1927 English inches Multiply
1927 by IS and the result by Z,
and that result by 3I4I6 and the
last product is the limit of error
in The circumference of the earth
This precise measurement Of the
dimensions Of the earth has been
made DossibIe bv the extension of
the continuous area in the United
States covered bv g-odetic surveys
on uniform basis The continuous
triangula.ion available on one basis
in the United States now extends
into 41of the IS States and Terri
tories and reaches from the Allan
tic TO the Pacific and from Mexico
to Canada. Prof. John T Hay
ford, late chief of the Computing
Division of the Government Geo
detic Survey, and now Director Of
the School Of Engineering Of
Northwestern University. says
that by utilizing this triangulation
and the accompanying astronomic
observations, new methods of in
creased accuracy have been intro
duced, by which the experts have
computed the value of the equa-
torial radius OF the earth at SIS
788 meters. The reciprocal of the
.nattening Of tl7e earth at the poles
is found to be 297.o. These values
are believed to be more accurate
than any hitherto derived even
by combining the observations
available in foreign countries.
One Of the most imnortant fea-
tpres of the new method Of com
IMITATION nsed in the Irnited States
saws Prof Havford is the definite
recognition OF the theory of isos-
tasy in the computation. Let all
material forming a part Of the
earth, and lying above sea level,
be considered the excess surface.
Then, according to the theory of
isostasy, every surface excess is
compensated for by a defect of
density in the material directly
below it, this defect of density
being understood to extend to con-
siderable depth and to be of such
amount as to compensate for the
excess. Under these conditions,
at the depth to which the compen-
sation extends, the material with
in the earth is in an isostatic CON
dition-the pressures being the
same in all directions at any given
point, as in LIQUID.

TAFT HAS IDEAS.
President Plans Strenuous Short Ses-

SION 1or congress.
Beverly, Oct 12.-President Taft
is mapping out a strenuous short ses-
sion for congress when it convenes
this autumn. His recommendation
will include several measures which
the insurgents are fighting according
to authentic information obtained to-
day. Foremost among the recommen-
dations will be one for a more eco
nomical administration.
He will also recommend the passage
of law permitting the developing Of
water power on public lands by pri-
vate capital with the government re-
tanning the power to use restraining
order when necessary. He will also
urge an amendment to the Sherman
antitrust law so as to allow railroads
tn enter into limited agreements re-
garding rates subject to the appro-
val of the interstate commerce COM
mission. The patronage bunghole Of
the pork barrel will be partially plug
ged by a recommendation to senators
and representatives that they surren-
der part of their appointment privi-
leges in order that more government
employees may be placed under the
civil service.

WANT EXHIBIT FOR
FARMERS CONGRESS

Judge Thomas FitzGerald, secre-
tary of the district fair board, is now
striving to collect an exhibit for use
as a Umatilla display at the big in
ternational agricultural congress in
Chicago next month. The o. r. & y.
company is assisting in providing the
exhibit. The company will give free
transportation for the local products
and will also provide space for the ex-
hibit in Chicago and have the dis
play cared for. The products to be
exhibited must be supplied by local
Ieople.
1t is desired by the fair board to
obtain a creditable exhibit of grains,
grasses, vegetables and fruits. Judge
FitzGerald says that the grain exhibit
is now being provided but that vol
untary offers of vegetables and fruits
are asked for. Anyone having any,
thing suitable for exhibit are asked
to bring thI same to Judge Fitz Ger
AIDS office in the city hall by Fri
day. The exhibit must be shipped to
Chicago by Friday evening.

BOTH PLEADED GUILTY TO

Thomas Balcom and Leslie Butler,
two members of the trio who recently
pleaded guilty to having stolen some
elk teeth, silk handkerchiefs and
Gibbon, were this morning sentenced
to two years in the penitentiary and
then paroled. Each is IL years of age
and each made affidavit that this
was the first time they had ever been
indicted for a crime.
The Balcom boy was required to
put up a bond of 500 and was then
placed in the care and custody of his
brother, Frank Balcom, farmer of
near Helix. He is also required to re-
port to Circuit Judge Bean every 30
days.
Butler will be sent to the home of
his father, ]. d. Butler. of Bandon,
and beginning with Dec. will be re-
quired to report every three months
to the local court.
Both boys were paroled on condition
that they attend school and keep away
from near beer saloons and other
places where Intoxicating liquors are
dispensed. In granting the paroles
Judge Bean delivered a helpful lecture
on the necessity of stunning COM
panions of doubtful reputation and
places where loafers are wont to con-
gregate.

sentence. These boys were repre-
sented by Attorney Win NJ. Peterson
who made a strenuous effort to keep
