Dust and ashes have been so dense
as to form what seemed a cloud. OBJ
securing the light of the sun. They
are thrown up from volcanoes and
sometimes carried for hundreds of
miles before being deposited on the
surface. Sand has been gathered up
from deserts and plains by severe
windstorms and carried for long dis
tances.
Stones and pebbles have fallen from
the sky in various parts of the world.
In Guernsey county o.. more than
half century ago, there is said to
have been a heavy shower of stones
that caused many to believe the
world was coming to an end. In Col
orado showers of stones have fallen
on several occasions, and in Mexico
stones and mud have been scattered
about on a number of occasions, some
stones being white as marble.
Meteoric stones are often found, but
these are not like the showers that
fell in Ohio and Colorado. Meteors
are said to be from space outside Of
our earth's atmosphere, and are not
at all common.
These sometimes reach considerable
size. and fall with such force as to
bury themselves deeply in the earth.
They are intensely hot when they
reach the earth, due to the friction
caused by their long and rapid jour
ney through the air.
Farmers declare SHOWS carry ferti-
lizers from the atmosphere to the
earth, and especially the SHOWS that
fall during March and April.
Doubtless certain elements that are
essential to the soil in its struggle to
produce vegetation are swept to the
earth by the snow passing through
the air or collected from the upper
strata of the earth's atmosphere.
Hail is quite common in all sections
Of the globe, but much more so In
some countries than in others. Con-
ditions are such in the upper strata
that it is formed, sometimes, of con-
siderable size ana weight. Circular
motion in the clouds is said to assist
in forming hailstones.

FROM THE SKY.


| How often we watch the passing
clouds and wonder at their beauty.
We compare them with great masses
of snow or ice, or imagine them to be
great mountains floating across the
wide expanse of deep blue sky. We
try to guess how high they are, where
they come from and how far they will
travel, and wonder what it would be
like If we could sit on the top of one
of those beautiful white peaks and
look about us as we sailed afar to
distants parts of the world.
| Clouds are simply masses of vapor
OF more or less density, and their diff
ferent colors are produced by the
! light of the sun shining on and
through them. The dark usually seen
on the under side of the white or
pink-edged clouds is the shadow of the
body of vapor, or the absence of light
on the under side of the cloud.
Clouds are supposed to carry MOTH
ing but moisture, but this is not al
ways the case. A great variety OF
matter has been carried in the clouds
and dropped to the earth, causing al.
arm and wonder among the people In
various lands.
Toads are said to have fallen from
dense clouds in various sections OF
this and other countries, and, in a
number of instances, small fish are
declared to have been found scattered
about in great numbers after. heavy
rains.
Scientists tell us these creatures
for whose size we are at the mercy OF
news reports, were gathered up by
waterspouts or other curious pheno-
mena in the form of storms and car
ried great distances before gravity
brought them to the earth in shower
In some parts of the world earth
worms, and especially those common
| ly called fish worms, are scattered
over the earth from clouds
The writer once witnessed a heavy
shower in which these forms came
down in great numbers, and to satisfy
his own and the curiosity of neigh
bors a ladder was secured and differ
ent persons went to the roofs of sew
eral buildings and the worms were
scattered over the roofs the same as
on the streets and lawn. How they
were gthered up and carried is not
understood
Some travellers in the far north say
there is red snow at some points in
that cold and dreary region. Others
say it is red moss that sometimes
grows on the surface of the snow. and
In few instances red insects are said
to have fallen with the snow, giving
II tinted appearance.
A number of years ago there was a
heavy shower of red insects near Pa
taskala, o., and they lay so thickly
over the snow that the earth had a
red appearance. These insects were
quite large, but no one seemed to be
able to determine what they were or
where they came from.
1t is quite common for ashes and
volcanic dust to fall in various parts
of the globe; but these do not always
come from the clouds, often falling
from a~cleary sky.

DREAMING OF YOU.

Dreaming of you in the cleaning
OF your dear love-lit eyes
Bright as the sheen In the dawning
OF star-gemmed tropic skies;
Dreaming of you in the cleaning.
Where CLINT the pale moonbeams
Where mem'ries of you come homing
An angel in the beautiful dreams!
III.
Dreaming of you in the cleaning,
Days all balmy and fair,
Forgotten the sorrow and roaming,
Lotus-laden the air
Dreaming of you in the cleaning
Recalling days of old
When mem'ries of you come homing,
An angel with curls of gold!
Dreaming of you in the cleaning
Where dusky shadows sleep,
Through billows of cloud-seas foaming
The stars of memory peep
Dreaming of you in the cleaning,
All. dearest. your presence CLEANS,
And i hear your footsteps coming
An Angel in beautiful dreams?s-i y

Yet the United States government
has been teaching the islanders for
the last Is years and if the training
is extended another eight years IL
will make their schooling cover a
period of 23 years BY that time the
course should be completed. If the
training is not sufficient by that time
it will be proof the Fillipinos cannot
learn the art of government from
hearsay and should be allowed to
learn to govern by governing. 1t is
the only way any people can ever
learn the lesson anyway.
If the emptying of the sewage OF
Pendleton into the river is a menace
to the health of people
Be Sure farther down the stream
1t is Right. change should be
made by all means. II
is not necessary for the sewage tC
flow into the river. 1t can be de-
stroyed by use of a septic tank.
In planning for this improvement
however it will be but sensible fol
the city government to proceed slow.
ly in order to be sure it is getting
what is wanted before the step is
taken. If septic tank is to be used
care should be taken to secure one
large enough and satisfactory for al
purposes. A blunder would be ex-
pensive and work Inconvenience.
While there is doubtless need of q
change in the method of disposing OF
the sewage the danger to the people
down the river is not so pressing but
that the council may take reasonable
time in considering how to handle the
problem. The present arrangement
has been in vogue for many years
past and no serious trouble has re-
suited.

Gus and more sweeping than that.
If current reports may be relied
upon gambling is on in Pendleton. Not
occasional quiet poker games. which
are hard to suppress completely. But
open gambling, in cigar stores, in
pool rooms. in easements and else
where though not in saloons. 1t Is
conducted not by amateurs but by
professionals.
| This is a situation that should not
exist and must be corrected, When
the people of Umatilla county voted
t. restore licensed saloons they did
not license gambling. They do not
want gambling and never did. The
prevalence of gambling in this city at
this time is a menace to the peace and
prosperity of the city. 1t is especi-
ally a menace to the liquor business.
II means votes for prohibition at the
next election. The general public
holds the saloonman responsible not
merely for himself but also for his
friend the gambler. Out of self de-
fence local saloonmen should de-
mand that gambling cease.
But it is not necessary for the IL
quor men to take such action. We
have officers for that purpose. A
word from the mayor or the district
attorney will do the work. That word
should be given and given in earnest,
not as a bluff 1t should be to the
effect that gambling in Pendleton
must stop and stop ompletely-not
merely for. a week or month or a
year but for all time to come: The
Iay of the green cloth man is over.
What about it, gentlemen?

-. -, Convention.

The Clearwater; County Sunday
School Association met in the Christian
/. church Monday evening with. Rev. j.
N. Departee, the county president in
charge. !. Mr.. Knapp, theInland Empire
secretary was unable;to reach Orofino
until Tuesday evening and the program
was only. partly carried out by the
county delegates until his arrival.
Five schools were represented and all
Of them laid claim to a goodly number
Of efficiency points, Orofino Christian
being first claiming II out Of a possible
twenty points. y
Tuesday evening Mr.. Knapp gave a
stirring address, using as basis for
his remarks, three words, Depend
able', Devoted, Dynamic He
showed the need Of teachers and scnol-
ars in the Sunday School who can be
depended upon to be present and
ready to do something. Without them
you cannot have efficient work done.
He spoke Of how some people are very
devoted to their particular church or
creed and will do anything they can to
keep scholar away. from another
Sunday School; this is one kind Of de-
vption, but'the devotion that is really
effective is devotion to the master. In
referring to the word dynamic he said
that some people instead OF being
power themselves and able to make
other things 60, were like a wheel
barrow, which goes just as far as you
): push it and then stops. What the Sun
day School needs is. not more people
who have to be continually pushed but
people who are ready to take hold and
help push.

MNreR SPRINGS NOTES.

The intensely hot weather of July
has had its innings. l. e. a reduced
cotton crop; this will certainly show
Jour farmers what the result of reduc-
ed acreage would do for them; but
we shall see.
When we think of the teeming mil
lions of people whose daily living is
drawn from the supply of the fruits
of the earth small voice within us
whispers that supply and demand
have nothing to do with the price
SO far as the producer is concerned,
but the profits which accrue to the
hordes of spectators who pay what
ever price is decided upon in their
secret conclave, the producer takes
whatever he can get, and pays what
ever is required of him, as do the
great salaried class whose wages as
sist to swell the Golfers of those who
"Toil not, neither do they spin.'
So much for organization, that part
of the crowd is well organized and
know how to spin.
| believe it will take long time
for the producer to get educated in
to his brain the idea of cooperation
and organization. but if they ever do,
quite different state of things will
be seen. Let every one who tills
the soil educate himself along busi-
ness lines, intensive and book farm
