Owner of Ten Acres Of Methow Valley
Property Purchased Through the
Washington Development League.
Mr.. Oweise was born in 1870 in
Saxony, Germany, was educated in the
Frankish Schools of Halle, Germany,
and the Leipsig Conservatory of Music.
He is a man of wonderful talent and
skill as violinist and cellist, and for
many years was prominent member of
the famous Philharmonic Orchestra of
Milwaukee, Wis. Owing to the bust
ness ability of Mr.. Oweise, however, he
gave up his music work as profession,
going into the manufacturing business,
and using his abilities along musical
lines as an avocation only. At the pres
ent time Mr.. Oweise is the manager of
Carter & Holmes, Chicago, one Of the
largest manufacturers of shirts and
pajamas in the United States. This
gentleman attends to the manufacture
ing end of the business exclusively, and
is very popular among his employees.
Mr.. Oweise expects to take up his
abode in the Methow some time in the
near future, principally because of the
i'll health of his wife and daughter, who
are affected largely by the damp
climate in Illinois, particularly in Chi
cago, owing to its proximity to Lake
Michigan.

London.-The mirror that Is oc-
casionally placed inside a room over
the transom so as to show who is
standing before the door has become
the subject of dispute in the London
press. It has been discovered that
several Englishmen in the eighteenth
century, well known in political and
social life, made use of the little mir
ror, notably Charles James Fox and
Horace Walpole. What the mirror
was called, however, has not yet been
stated in print. The London Globe
enlightens the public on this point and
gives the origin of the mirror:

the 'dunscope' the other day, and two
Of our readers have supplied valuable

Cats Tale Balance Pole.

acknowledgements none of life's
problems Is to escape solution. A
British scientist has just determined
why it is that cat always falls on
its feet. To this end he constructed
a model, consisting of a cardboard
cylinder, wherein were stuck four
rods to serve as legs together with a
tail devised to demonstrate that a
feline's peculiar faculty for landing
on its feet depends on the rotation
Of its tail with sufficient vigor during
the plunge.
This faculty, so the dscoverer ar
CUES, is especially developed by
climbing and leaping animals. such
as members of the cat tribe, monkeys,
squirrels and most lemurs. Accord
ing to this investigator, all tree in
habiting monkeys have long tails, and
there is not the slightest doubt these
caudal appendages are Of great aid in
enabling them to turn In the air.
The tail also serves as balancer,
as evidenced in the case OF the squir-
rel, which may be seen walking along
a tightly stretched wire or string,
swinging its tall from side to side,
much after the manner Of tight rope
walker balancing himself with pole.

OH! THOSE "SPFED BOYS!"
Again They are Winners in Ten
Inning Contest

The Skowhegan Speed Boys have
kept up their winning streak by de-
feating the Athens baseball team at
Fairview park, Saturday, August 20,
in a ten-inning game, the final score
standing 6 to in favor of the Speed
Boys" 1t was one of the most inter-
esting games played this season. The
features of the game were the pitch
ing and hitting of Dore, who drove in
the winning run after two men were
out in the tenth, Turcotte getting a
two Dagger in the ninth, stole third
and then home on a passed ball by
Fox, tieing the score. Hurley's play
ing at third would make some of the
major league players sit up and take
uotice. He took four difficult chances
without an error. Murray robbed Ell
lot of a two-bagger in the ninth by
pulling down a fly out in right field.
Elliot and Goodwin were the stars on
the Athens team. w. Hunter sprained
his ankle just before the game while
practicing and Provost was sent in
to take his place, and played until
the last half of the eighth inning
when Murray was sent in to bat for
him. The score:
