Munehausen.

Many a reader of the fictitious ad-
ventures Of the famous hero of the
"Munchausenaid" (Which was first pub
lished in English at Oxford during the
lifetime Of this prince of all liars) has
no conception that the hero was real
person Baron Hieronymus Karl Fried
rich Won Munchausen was Han
oyerIau nobleman, a subject of the first
three Georges. He was born in 172O
and died in 1897. He took service In a
Russian cavalry regiment, but retired
IN old age to his ancestral estate at
Boteuwerder. In Hanover, where he
became notorious for the magnificent
lies about his military adventures with
which he used to entertain his neigh
bors at his hospitable board. A col
lection Of these stories, entitled Wade
mecum fur llstige Leute," was pub
ilshed at Berlin In 1871 without the
baron's permission. The English work,
Baron Munchausen's Narrative of His
Marvellous Travels and Campaigns In
Russia was an expansion and i'm
proyement Of the Berlin collection.

How Hail Is Formed.

Limiting the observations to such
compound hailstones as are the most
destrucuve~and are produced during
a tornado' or a violent thunderstorm,
the to'ioN Aes theory has been ad
vanced as TO now they are formed:
When the winds gyrate rapidly round
an axis more or less inclined to the
earth the space at and about the axis
is raretied When air charged with
vapor is drawn into this rarefed space
1t may be condensed into cloud or rain
or at greater elevation, into snow.
Now, suppoSlng the rain formed in the
lower region to be drawn up by the as
cendlng current into the snowy region
and so held for a short space, the
drops will be frozen and then. If pro-
PEELED beyond the gyrations, will fall
to the ground as a shower of ordinary
hail But il in the descent they are
again drawn in by the nnowing cur
rent they will be again carried up into
the cold region and so acquire anoth-
er coating Of ice. In this way the
globule may make a number of ascents
and descents and acquire fresh coat
ing each time -Harper's.

THE BURNING on THE RAMONA

We can only guess what might have
happened had the Ramona hotel burned
on a windy day or night. The old three
story wooden building, a relic of olden
days, might have been the klndlng
wood to set the entire business district
on fire. The volunteer fire department
deserves the thanks of the citizens for
the good work of Saturday night.
However, had the wind been blowing
stifiiy, they might have worked three
times as hard, or harder, and their
efforts been Of no avail.
1t is always unfortunate that such
buildings as the Ramona must remain
in the business district of cities. Yet
IN but few instances are there any
towns that do not have such places.
Hood River still has few left.
But now that the Ramona has beer
destroyed. the new structure that
rises in its place should be of twp,
to conform with the laws Of the city
regulating buildings in the fire limits
Otherwise we might have repeated q
fire that might prove more disastrous
Eyerybody's doin' it. What Get

TIE CELEBRATION

Although Hood River hasn't had
celebration in three years, from tn,
present enthusiasm evidenced by th,
committees working on the plans o.
making proper observance of the ma
tion's birthday and the citizens in gen
eral everybody is going to unlock ev-
cry door of patriotic spirit and we are
going to show ourselves and everybody
that will come and join US that we are
just as proud Of Old Glory as they are
anywhere.
Some of the citizens didn't take to
the celebration so yery-enthuslastically
when it was first mentioned, but it is
going now, and everybody is boosting
to see it finished successfully. Good
live committees have hold of.the differ
ent phases of the affair and it will be
worth being present for.
The automobile men should lend all
assistance in making the auto parade
a successful and entertaining feature.
And at the same time give the kiddies
the time Of their lives. Fourth of
July celebrations were invented for the
children anyhow You, old man, or
old woman, you remember Fourths of
July when you were a boy, or a girl.
You got a whole lot of fun out of such
events then. You'll really enjoy the
one planned if you make the little
folks have the best time possible.

RAMONA HOTEL
GUTTED BY FLAMES

The efficiency Of the Hood'River Vol
unteer Fire Department was shown
Sunday morning at two O'Clock, whea
the fire in the Ramona Hotel, alter
the flames bad made great headWay
and were menacing the adjoining feed
store Of Kelly Bros, was eEtinguished,
Had the least bit Of wind been stirring
the work Of the department would
have been made d0uhly difficult ard
the west portion Of the business dis.
trict on Oak street would have been lr
grave danger.
The conHagration started from some
unknown cause on the second story OF
the three story wooden structure,
which is the property Of the heirs Of
the Lawrence estate, who reside iE

from the descent by stairway aud were
forced to climb from their windows 90
the roof of a porch. Fortunately 70
one was injured. When the fire was
at its highest it seemed that iha Kelly

lire Of men aad boys forming began to
pack the bags Of grain and feed 70 a
place Of safety across the street. The
feedstuf was slightly damaged by wa
ter soaking through from the roof
which was flooded.
So efficient was the work of the fire
department that the flames were not
allowed to reach the first floor. Mr..
and Mrs. Henderson had about $1,000
worth OF property in the building, a
small part of which WAS covered by
insurance. A number Of the lodgers,
most of whom are workingmen 10 and
around the city, suffered small losses
from the fire.

TRADING At HONE

Trading at home. This is an old sub
iect and every editor from Ben Frank
Inns time to the present day, has added
bis mite Of wisdom and advice 10 the
records Of journalism. Yet since it
concerns our welfare and that Of our
respective communities and the proper
and best use Of our hard earned shek-
els, il is q story that, Just as the old,
old story Of love, never grows old with
the human race The maiden and
youth Of today, just as a Ruth and
Naomi. a Juliet and a Romeo, passion
ateiy expend for the delight Of each
other extravaganza Of language It
seems that it always takes an eXtray-
aganee to properly express love. Aud
now just as then he longs for wealth
for his lady.
But this is beyond the point desired
to be brought cut Every citizen Of a
community should conine to as great
an extent as possible every cent that
be expends in that community. The
alluring circulars oil mail order houses
of foreign cities should never be al
lowed to prove too great temptation.
If it costs slightly more in the home
market. it is cheaper in the long run
The home merchant should make a good
reasonable profit on his wares. If it
is learned that he is taking advantage
of the desire of his fellow residents.
who wish by trading with him to
build up the community, and adding to
his profit to such a degree that be is
sticking" bis customers, then in turn
he justly deserves to get stuck "
himself.
But always bear in mind that money
sent away or taken away and spent in
foreign cities goes there to build up
that community. As there is rivalry |
and competition between individuals in
their business enterprises, so is there
among the communities.

OUR SENSITIVE PLANET.

One naturally thinks of the earths

glons where earthquakes are of fire.
/ quent occurrence. As q matter of
| fact, however. the shell of our planet
is extremely sensitive and most deli
cately balanced, so that under the in.
huences of causes that seem altogeth-
er insignificant in comparison with the
gigantic bulk and weight of the earth
it yields and fluctuates in most
amazing manner.
To an eye so placed as to be capa-
BILE of taking in at one comprehensive
glance the whole round outline of the
globe it would not appear of precisely
the same shape during an entire day
or even an hour. Most of the changes
referred to are, of course, very slight
when compared with the size of the
earth itself.
The operation Of atmospheric and
oceanic and other similar causes is
continually bringing about changes in
the shape of the earths crust. One
of the most interesting of the agencies
whereby such altera lions are effected
is the carrying power of rivers. Wher
ever a great quantity of sand and
gravel is being brought down from the
pterior of continent and poured into
The sea, as, for instance, along the
northwestern coast of Europe or the
gulf coast of the United States, the
weight Of the earth's crust is slowly
increasing, and the consequence is
seen in the gradual subsistence Of the
shore.
Such a sinking has been going on
for thousands of years along the North
sea coast and on the continental side
of the British channel. A similar de-
preston is occurring on the eastern
edge Of our own country and along
the gulf Of Mexico. 1t has been esti-
mated that the gulf coast is sinking
at the rate of nearly two feet in
century.
Corresponding elevations must of
course, occur elsewhere. And to these
slow changes in the level of the earths
crust earthquakes are due as well as
to the more violent local disturbances
created by volcanic action -Harpers
