PENDLETON MAN KILLS
275 RATTLESNAKES

The title of champion rattlesnake

The skins were taken to Pendleton
and sold to Major Lee Moorhouse. Fix
also obtained 20 pounds of oil. which
has a market value of $3.50 per pound.

N MEMORY OF H. S. JORY.
(By order of Salem Lodge No o6l
q G. T.


(By order of Salem Lodge No o0l'
|. o. G. IT,
Our beloved brother h. 5. Jory ue-
narted for the Better Land on
Thursday morning the 4th of January
Io19 from his home 967 South Com
marcial street after an illness of five
months. Our brother Joined the In
dependent Order of Good Templars IN
/ ISIS was a Good Templar forty-four
years. Five years more than halt ms
l life was an active member uhtll
health and strength failed. AT his
request Senator Croisan introduced
an amendment to the Salem city char
| ter giving prohibition to the tltth'
sixth and seventh wards.
! We feel that his life Of the strlctest
integrity should be an inspiration to
| all. Many times do we hear that the
moral forces of our country are being
routed and that the cause of morality
is one to be fOrsaken. When we look
over the field and consider the work
done the advances made by the work
of such tried and true workers as
Brother Jory, then can we see as IN
vision as the grim reaper comes, as
come he will to each and every one
that tits we'll for humanity that he
lived; and to the extent that his work
was endorsed by his fellowmen TO
that extent were the dire evils that
so fiercely assail the home, the church
and the school be oyerthrown, and we
know It's a better world in that his
life was spent with us.
Brother Jory carried the petition
and secured the necessary number OF
names to organize Salem lodge !. o,
G. t. and became a charter member
and remained in it while he lived,
holding the highest offices in the gift
of the lodge. He was also member
of the grand lodge and was elected
and served as grand treasurer in 1890
and 1891.
Salem lodge desires to give public
expression of this appreciation of his
Christian life from which good in
fluence will go on forever. We also
desire to extend our sincere sympathy
to his family and friends. We will
respectfully drape our charter in
mourning, and spread a copy Of this
memorial on our minutes. We append

A TOY X-RAY MACHINE.

This little toy is greatly mystifying
to those who do not know its interior
construction, and by making one and
keeping 1t in your room you will have
a puzzler for your friends when they
come to see you. To outward ap-
pearances the little machine has the
power to transmit light through solid
objects, making them seem transpar-
ent; but, if the interior of the box
were disclosed to view, 1t would at
once be apparent how the illusion Is
obtained by means Of a series of mir
rors placed at the proper angles to
project the light which enters the hole
at one end of the box down under the
object through which the person is
supposedly looking, and up to his eye
at the hole In the opposite end.
Though the construction of the top
Is actually simple, it is well to make
it appear complicated by adding tubes,
an electric battery, a switch and a
bell, as shown in the illustration.
None of these, however, are necessary
to operate the toy.
Procure a box about the size of that
In which starch is sold, for your ma
chine, and remove one side. Fig. 2
shows the box placed upon it's remain
ing side, with the open side uppermost,
and the top toward you. Out of the
bottom board, cut a piece in length
equal to one-third the length of the
board, and in width equal to one-half
the width of the board. Also bore
the holes, A and D, in the ends of the
box, near the upper edge and IN a d.
rect line with one another. These

toy served more purposes than one.
Perhaps you have established a
telephone line between your house and

but even so, you cannot exchange a

TOY AERIAL CONVEYOR.

When two boys In u neighborhood
rugged up a toy conveyor between
their homes, the idea was at once seen
to be productive Of 80 much fun that
half a dozen other boys installed SINH
lar c%onveyors between their homes.
Most OF these were operated from up
per story windows. Some Of the lit
tie baskets, or cars. were pulled back
and forth along a wire stretched taut
between two windows. by means Of
cords attached at each end Of the
cars; and others were operated by
heavy cord or light rope run over pull
leys after the manner in which "pul-
ley clotheslines" are put up. At first,
most of the cars were made just large
enough to hold written messages; then
one of the boys conceived the idea Of
making a larger car and sending a
glass Of water across to his friend,
and his success led another lad to

mirrors have been put in place and
of the box a thorough coating of black
paint so there will be no danger of
the wood rejecting light.
Broken pieces Of looking-glass and
old hand mirrors may be used in the
machine. II you cannot find four
pieces. probably you can pick up just
what you need for a few cents at a
paint store or a carpenter shop. Pieces
Of irregular shape can be mounted
upon blocks of wood for convenience
in handling. The sectional view OF
the box shows best how the mirrors
must be fastened (see e, F, G and H,
Fig. 81. Glass, e, must be placed at
en- angle of As degrees to the hole, A,
glass, F, parallel to glass, E, glass, H,
at right angt,s to glass, F, and glass,
G, parallel to glass, H, and at an angle
Of As degrees to hole, D.. With the
glasses properly placed, the dotted line
and rrow In Fig. s show how the
light will be reflected from hole to
hole, and when looking through hole,
A, a person will see the light coming
through hole. d.
The pieces Of m~ailing-tube shown
sticking into holes A, B, c and d,
should be glued in place. These tubes
should be Of equal diameter so it will
appear as though the tube were con
tinuous with only a section omitted in
the center in which to insert the book,
hand, or other object.
Fig. 8 shows how to fasten an cleo.
trio bell or buzzer Cd to one side of
the machine, and how to mount a dry
battery () to the top Of the machine.
Connect the bell and battery with
bell wire, and place a small switch in
the circuit, fastening it to the side OF
the box as shown in Fig. 1.
Here is a good way to operate your
toy X-ray machine. Allow your friend
to look through the tubes first, to see
that they are clear, then place the OBJ.
ject to be looked through in the gap
between the tubes in holes, B and c..
and at the same instant clap one hand
over tube in hole D. This will shut
out all light and the friend will think
that his view has been obstructed by
the object placed in front of hole B.
Now throw over the battery switch
and allow the bell or buzzer to
buzz, and after a few seconds, when
you have your friend guessing as to
what Is going to happen, suddenly re-
move your hand from the end Of the
tube in hole, D, and allow the light to
flood through the tubes. The marvel.
Gus feat will then have been perform.
ed. OF course, you should allow a
longer period to elapse before remov-
ing your hand from the end OF tube In
hole. D, when the object Is thick. the
idea being that 1t requires a longer
time for the light to penetrate 1t.
