TRAVELS OF THE BLOOD.

The mileage Of the blood circula-
ton reveals some astonishing facts
1t has just been calculated, for in
stance, that, assuming the heart to
beat sixty-nine times a minute at or
dinary pressure, the blood goes at the
rate of 206 yards in a minute, or nine
miles an hour, 227 miles a day and
$4,000 miles year. II a man eighty
four years old could have but one sim

STUDY THE INITIATIVE BILLS.

With the primary campaign now
q thing Of the past voters will have
some time to devote to the many leg
islative measures that must be acted
upon at the November election. This
year there are many-far too many
up for consideration.
Some of these measures are Of such
a nature that their submission to the
electorate constitutes an abuse of the
initiative privilege. Yet there are
other measures that are meritorious
indeed and should be enacted into
law. 1t is up to voters to carefully
consider the various bills and pass
upon them intelligently. During the
next few weeks the East Oregonian
will take up these measures and dis
cuss them to some extent with a view
TO aiding the readers of the paper in
forming their conclusions. At the
same time this paper will welcome
communications bearing upon the re-
spective merits of bills that are to
be passed upon.

charged them with, but that he had TO

was electrocuted he saws: AT first I
tried TO save myself, but afterward I was
willing TO give my life to save the
other men who are innocent"
