al, and heard the inaugural address of

laughable statements regarding the
chief Justice He spoke regarding a
$2,00O,O00 endowment which he had
procured for Willamette University,
and gave in detail what he wished
done at said university. After the
governor ha finished the two legisla-

their respective halls, where various
matters Of state were considered. Ev-
erything is done in a real legislative
fashion, and the participants are re-
ceiying excellent training.
There is no school at the universi-
ty today, on account of the observ-
ance of college prayer day, and DR..

San Diego, Calf, Jan. 26.-Ayiator
Glenn II. Curtiss at 1:15 o'clock this
afternoon rose from the waters of
San Diego bay, made a flight of a
minute and half and landed on the
water safely.
1t was the first feat of the kind
ever accomplished.
The fight was made in his specially
constructed hydroplane, his biggest
biplane, with pontoons in place of the
usual wheels. The feat was per-
formed for the war and navy depart
ment and is considered the most
wonderful achievement so far in aer-
