MOVING PICTURES.

Why They Sometimes Show Whseis
Turning the Wrong Way.
Every one must have noticed that in
moving pictures the wheels of car
riages or automobiles often seem to be
turning backward instead of forward.
One puzzled person wrote to the Sci
entific American asking why, and this
is that papers answer:
In taking a moving picture there are
perhaps sixteen exposures made each
second If now the spokes of the
wheel of carriage move with speed
so that the spokes are in the same po-
sitiOn at each exposure. that wheel
will seem to stand still in the picture
If the wheel is moving slower. then
the spokes will be seen farther back.
ward in the successive views. and the
wheel will seem 10 turn backward
while it will seem to turn forward
when the spokes move fast enough to
occupy positions further forward in
each exposure.
II is matter OF the interruption fol-
the exposure and the motion of the
wheel II there are sixteen exposures
and the wheel turns through the space
between two spokes in one sixteenth

posture and so would not seem to move

postmistress and that missing So bill.
Some of them said 1t was a shame
that the Squire had inflicted a fine,
but the victim laughed at that. He
said he was q man who bore no
grudge.
An hour after supper he appeared
at the postoffice and saw the evening
mail distributed and passed out. Then
he coolly walked through into the
living room, and when Miss Nanny
looked at him In surprise he sent her
10-year-old sister into the poStoffice
part and began conversation that
lasted the best part of an hour. The
girl was awed but not afraid of him.
Just as the nice old gentleman was
about to take his departure, Jim
Hopkins opened the door without
first knocking, and strobe into the
room. After a look at both occu-
pants he said to the girl:
Well, Nanny, the governor says
he will give you three days in which
to make up your mind. Been telling
old grandpa here all about 1t? He
don't count"
"Old grandpa" sat down again and
began talking about the postal bust
ness, and after ten minutes Jim left.

MEMORY OF SAyAGES.
Wonderful Feats of the Zulus In Con-
veying Verbal Messages.

Wonderful Feats of the Zulus In Con-
veying Verbal Messages.
The memory in savage or unculu-
waited peoples is often trained to de-
gree very surprising to those civilized
men and women who have grown used
to depending on the written much
more than on the remembered word.
The transmission of whole epics. like
the "Iliad." by word Of mouth no
longer seems so incredible when you
read of the feats of memory of which
present day Zulus are capable.
These people, says MIR. Gibson in
THE Story of the Zulus," have no
writing and are accustomed to trans
NIT messages and record events by
memory alone. This they can do be-
cause their mental impressions are
made especially distinct by reason of
their acquired or inherited habit of
giving undivided attention to the sub
ject in hand.
Communications between the British
authorities and the Zulu kings were
almost invaria bly, conducted by means
of verbal messages carried by natives.
A certain ultimatum addressed by the
British to Cetywayo was conveyed to
, him. not upon paper. but in the brain
cells of the messengers whom he had
sent eighty miles to receive it from the
British commissioners.
Although the document contained
some 1000 words and was accompa
MED by much comment on the state
, of things it was desired to remedy. the
whole was repeated to Cetywayo with
/ perfect accuracy.

HAS NEWSCHEME
!. TONAME STREETS

c. $. Wheeler. we'll known local
photographer proposes a scheme for
the remaining of certain streets in
Pendleton and he is planning to lay
the same before the city council, be-
lieving it to be proposition that will
meet with much favor.
Mr. Wheler's idea is to have all
the streets in the main portion OF
town and running north and south
by numbers instead of by the names
now i'm use For instance Garden
street would be known as First street,
west, while cottonwood would be-
come First street east, and so on
The chief argument in favor of the
move is that the system would be
much simpler than the one now in
use and people would have far less
difficulty finding the streets than they
do now. 1t is urged the new system
would be especially convenient for
newcomers and for visitors in the City
during Roundup time. 1t is claimed
the present system of naming streets
places stranger entirely at sea
when he strives to find local ad'
dress.
