are good deal over 20, near 80. This
applies to whites only. Most Of them
served four years in the southern
army, which was very hard life and
calculated to shorten their days.
suppose there are as many women OF
the same age, but as to this l have
not investigated, says a writer in the
Christian Herald. This must be an
unusually healthy locality, and there
are more old people in it in proper
ton to numbers than any other place
I know of. Fourteen miles from here

American Standard Time,

Time is practically an artificial con.
vention, and of all means Of time es.
Establishment the sun Is the most
variable. The standard of our time
Is that established at the naval OBJ
servatory in Washington by the OBJ
servation Of the elimination Of cir.
cumpolar stars. The standard Of our
time is the astronomical time thus oh.
tanned adjusted to the 18th meridian
for the eastern time some, to the Goth
and so on at fifteen degrees intervals,
"A difference of longitude measured by
dfteen degrees is represented in time
by exactly one hour, therefore the
minutes and seconds are the same In
all parts of the world where time has
thus been standardized, the variety af'
3ects only the hour and the day. The
naval observatory as a part of 1ts du,
ties supplies this time, its general dis.
tribution at retail is effected by pri.
vate enterprise.

cauIstioa ~ Reflection.

It is found that In coneaye spherical
mirrors the reflected rays only come to
q definite focus In the point when the
angular aperture OF the mirror does
not exceed 8 or 10 degrees. With a
larger aperture the rays reflected near
the edge cut the axis Of the mirror at
a point nearer its surface than those
from points Immediately around the
center. This being SO and the curve
Of the mirror being continuous, cor
responding curve Of successive focal
points is formed In space and can be
rendered visible by the rays falling on
rejecting surface, such as sheet of
white paper or tablecloth. The nap
kin ring is cylinder and possesses the
properties Of the spherical mirror along
one diameter. The rays falling upon
portions more remote from the center
line are brought to a different focus
from those falling nearer the center
and this produces the peculiar heart
shaped reflection. These figures are
known as "caustics by reflection" and
can be well observed by allowing the

A Easbion That Failed.

pepys records, the king declared 10
council "his resolution of setting
fashion in clothes, which he Will never
alter. 1t will be vest. ! know noI
lust how, but 1t is to teach the nobility
thrift and will do good" Six days
later Pepys sees the Duke OF York Try
on the new "vest," which Is again de'
clared to be like the laws OF the Medes
and Persians. 1t was "a long cassock

weiohino the Atmosphere.

If we are to believe both legend and
history the first attempt to weigh air
was that made by Aristotle, the great
Greek philosopher Of the fifth century.
He first weighed an empty goatskin
bag and then inflated 1t and again put
it in the balances and because he
found no difference In weight under
the two conditions announced to the
world that air was a substance wholly
without weight. With modern labora-
tory apparatus. most any high school
scholar can demonstrate the fact that
a flask Of ten cubic inches capacity
weighs fully three grains more when
filed with air than It does after be-
ing placed under the exhaust of an afr
pump. The numerous experiments
that have been made on the weight Of
air warrant the scientists In announc-
ing that the weight Of the whole ter
restrial atmosphere Is about equal to
that Of solid copper ball sixty.two
miles In diameter.

Fate Of Alelblades.

The brilliant, witty and dissolute
Alcibiades had one Of the most extern
sive experiences In exile that ever fell
to the lot Of man. While in COM
mand Of the Sicilian army he was re-
called to stand trial for the destruc-
ton Of the busts of Hermes. an out
rage that had taken place just before
his departure. Knowing that his
death had been determined on, ne es-
capped to Sparta, where. by adopting
the manners of the people, In strange
contrast to his former style or luxury
be became Immensely popular. he en-
gagged in military operations against
the Athenlans and succeeded so well
as to excite the envy Of the Spartan
leaders, who expelled him, whereupor
he went to Persia aud lived there VIII

Tho Power Of q Voice.

Stories abound to illustrate the pow
er possessed By great speakers and
actors to stir tho emotions By the
tones Of the voice. It is said Of the
elder Booth that he brought tears 10
the eyes of a company upon one occa-
sion by the way in which he uttered
the opening words, "Our Father" OF
the Lords Prayer. sas
A story is told Of the great Irish
orator, o'Connell. An attack had been
made upon, him in the houses.of COM
mons. When o'Connell arose to reply
his lofty brow was black with thun-
der and his arm uplifted as If to strike.
Then, checking himself, he said. But

mur Of a summer brook, he continued

How Portland would profit by the

Within The last few days, 5000 tons
of wheat were taken from the North
Bank warehouses and transferred. to
the Northern Pacific for shipment to
Seattle. rather than Portland. to to-
transshipped out of Seattle to the
orient because Seattle has oriental
service and Portland has not.
Sending the wheat to Seattle was
not because the transportation is
cheaper. IL costs twice as much op-
Grating expense to send a freight train
out of the inland empire over the
mountains to Seattle as 1t does to send
freight train down the river to Port
Ind. The rate over the mountains IS.
4 Of course, the same. but it is based on
the wates grade haul to Portland.
It is known that the Hartman lines
are having the Same difficulty as the

i $27, 900 to the railroad. But the 5000

OBITUARY.

The funeral service of the late
Charles Welsh Barger was held in the
Christian church at IL noon, Septenf-
Der 2S. a large number of friends
from the surrounding country were in
attendance. The deceased was corn
near Adams. Oregons April 9TH. 1880.
Here he received his early education.
j. B. Saylor OF Milton, was for time
his instructor and SPEAKS highly OF the
character of the deceased. On Jan
uary, 1st, 1919, Mr., Barger was nm
tied in wedlock with Miss Clara Stat
ford. The union proved happy one.
and they had built new home with
every modern convenience. preparing
for long. happy useful life; when
disease, that remorseless tyrant OF
human flesh, laid hold upon his vi
tails. Then a short but courageous
battle began. All through the long
summer he suffered from internal
trouble, hut it was not until the har-
vest ives we'll on that the malady be-
came acute; although even then he did
not quit the field but maufully attend
ed to his duties as engineer of the out
fit, often being forced to rest through
sheer exhaustion. Up to within two
weeks of bis death he persisted In
managing the affairs Of his ranch.
All was done that leving hearts nd
human skill could do to prolong his
life. but as the days wore on 1t was
evident to physicians and friends alike
that the end was near; and it came
about 6 a. m. September 27th. After
the funeral service the body was TAX
en- to Walla Waila and on the follow
ing day was laid to rest beside the
sleeping dust Of his father. lamented
by wife, mother, a sister, two
brothers and host of friends.

PASS UP RHODES OFFER
OAly One Boy in State Will Take Ad-
vantage of Scholarship.

A chance to live three years in Eur,
ope, with $500 of Cecil Rhodes
money to spend each year, apparently
makes small appeal to the young men
Of Oregon. A Rhodes scholarship at
Oxford University is to be granted as
the prize for an examination to be
held October Is and l6, and every
thing is in readiness except the rush
of applicants. which failed to mater
ialize.
ALBANY and Dallas colleges notified
President Campbsll,o the state Uni
versity, who is chairman Of the Ore
gon Rhodes scholarship committee
| that they would sehd no candidate
this year, and the students at Eugen'
and the other university towns seen

The deadlock was finally broken {,

The fact that Oxford requires some

less than twice the height OF the

upon any portion Of its surface an
