Barela became 80 arrogant and de-
layed the proceedings to such an ex-
tent that cries of sit down" were
heard when he got up to spiel
some more.
The assembly as whole ran along
smooth but the contests demonstrat-
ed that the organization slate had
some opposition. The new court
house was. however. dedicated to the
cause of law and order.

This called for another speech by
Barela who criticized Martin for pre-
suming to oppose the slate and laud-
ed Kane much to the depreciation Of
Martin. Sheriff Grisham nominated
Kane. Martin received 25 votes.
The closest contest was between
Floyd and Morand for school super
intendent. J. S. Grisham nominated
Floyd and Judge Ross paid splendid
tribute in seconding the nomination.
Senator Barela> was for Morand and
held the floor for half an hour as
serting the qualifications OF his can

received 90 votes and Morand GA.
Both will be primary candidates.
Barcla and the organization Re-
9ublicans had slated II. A. Schmidt
and F. T. Mascarenas for representa-
tives. Hence the senator was peeved
when opposition for the nomination
appeared in John Mayer and Tony
Deaguero of Weston. Santiago Abey-
To nominated Deaguero and sharp
words passed between him and Bar
ella when the latter sought to dis
credit Deaguero and influence the
friends of Mayer to withdraw the
nomination. But vote was taken
and all four designated.
Roy Campbell, the present deputy

j. ID. Harper for assessor; w. L..
Wills for treasurer; A. NJ. Holt for
surveyor, and J. s. Abeyta for coun-
ty clerk were not opposed.
Senator Barela sought to monopo-
lize the floor and made most of the
nominations. Santiago Abcyta took
sly and sundry shots at him, at one
time referring to the senator as an
agitator, which caused a storm of ap-
plausc, much to the embarrassment of

Eyes That Follow You.
London Tid-Bits.

London Tid-Bits.
Have you ever wondered why the eyes
In portraits painted in oils follow you
There Is something uncanny about it.
Years ago superstiti0us people were afraid
to 60 into a picture gallery where portraits
of ancestors were to be found. Now we
know that the thing is simply an optical
illusion.
To produce such an effect the eyes of
the person represented In the portrait must
be looking directly to the front and not
toward one side. In such circumstances
the pupils Of each eye is necessarily In the
middle thereof, with as much white" on
one side as on the other.
Obviously. this relation does not vary at
all with the position assumed by the OBJ
server. The latter may stand far over on
either side of the picture. and yet from
his point of view there Is as much white"
on one side of each eye as on the other
and the pupil still is in the middle. Such
being the case, the painted image continues
to look directly at him.
In the palatial mansion of a well-knOwn
multi-millionaire there Is a double stair
case. the two flights joining at landing
above. On the wall is huge painting of
a flock of sheep coming down hill.
The picture is famous work of art and
cost many thousands of pounds, but the
popularity about it that chiefly interests
most people who see 1t is that. no matter
which Of the two flights (Which are so feet
aparD one ascends. the sheep seem to be
running directly toward the observer. Here
again the optical principle involved is ex-
actly the same as that which makes the
eyes in the portrait appear as II they fol-
lowed you.
