BOARD BRINGS SUIT
AGAINST S|LVERTON
Would Enjoin City From Emptying Its
Sewage Into Silver Creek or Its
Tributaries.

In a complaint filed in the Marion
county circuit court this morning by the
State Board Of Health, a decree is
asked permanently enjOining the city
of Silverton from permitting the sewer.
age and drainage of the city to be
emptied into Silver creek, or any of its
tributaries.
1t is alleged in the complaint that
Silver creek flows near the city limits
Of Silverton and the residents along its
shores use the water for domestic pur.
poses. The grounds upon which the
complaint is based are that SilvertOn
recently constructed sewer which
flows through the city and is used by
the citizens of that place continuously,
and by reason Of the sewerage and
drainage being emptied in Silver creek,
the health of the pOpulace of Silyerton
and the public of the state in general
who visit the town is endangered, and
that the stream should be kept free
from all refuse, in order to maintain
health and prevent contagiOn.
Silver Creek is the only outlet
through which the sewerage of Silver,
ton can be distributed, there being no
other stream in the vicinity that would
answer such purposes, In the event the
court renders decree as prayed for in
the complaint filed by the State Board
of Health, the sewer constructed by
SilvertOn will be rendered useless.

LIGHTING WORLDS FAIR.
Panama Exposition VIII Have Mos
Modern System Of Illumination.

The illumination of the Panama
Pacific international exposition in 1915
will demonstrate the most modern
system of lighting by indirect light.
Artificial daylight, produced by diff
fused and reflected electric light, will
battle the entire grounds in a flood OF
uniform light extending to a height of
125 feet above the ground. Although
almost 100000, 900 candlepower will
be used, there will be no glare or un-
protected light to tire the eyes. Pre-
vious expositions have been illuminate
ed by uncovered arcs, search1ights,
and outline strings Of electric bulbs on
the exterior of the buildings. The re-
suit has been much glare and q great
distortion of architectural and sculp-
tural effects at night because of dark
spaces and shadows. There will be
position, and its elaborate scheme OF
lighting will illuminate the buildings
almost as naturally and with as little
distortion as daylight.
Five principal sources of light will
be used. The exteriors of the build
ings will be illuminated by thousands
of luminous arc standards. like huge
lamp posts, in front Of the buildings.

ALL EYES Do NOT SEE alike.
Dut to Physical Condition of the
Organ Training.

~~-O
Organ Training.
All good eyes do not see alike. Peo-
ple whose eyes will show the same
focus by an expert test do not see
alike. They may look at the same OBJ
1ect and see it entirely different.
Some men are adopts in finding some
thing with their eyes, while their COM
paniohs who may possess just as good
vision are not able to locate objects at
all without great difficulty.
The man who can walk about the
lawn or in the park and pick up four
leaf clovers has an eye that is worth
big money to him. He can easily be
trained to see things that the ordinary
man will miss or have to look long
time to find.
Some r en- who go hunting can see
squirrel in an oak or hickory tree with
apparent ease, while others will go
strolling about the timber and never
see the game at all. It is the same way
in the open field. The rabbit can be
found sitting by some. while others will
almost run over the creature before 1t
is detected.
This ability is gift. This is not only
q gift developed by some and undevel-
oped by others as result OF their sur
rOundings, but it measures the exact
amount Of intelligent effort they have
expended in attaining this ability. also
their perseverance in this line Of en-
deavor.
Aside from the external causes that
have made US what we are. environ
ment and heredity, is an inherent ca
pacity of individual intelligence, or, in
other words. natural ability.
To define intelligence is not herein
attempted, the purpose being only to
show what natural ability, aided by
the right method. has done and may
still do.
1t therefore remains that it is not
the physical condition of the eye alone
that determines the difference Of per-
ception, but how well it has been train
ed. along what line. and the innate ca
pacity of the individual intelligence
that directs 1t.
The brain is really responsible for our
ability to see objects better than others
