POORLY ATTENDED

The Farmers Institute held here Mon
day and Tuesday of this week was very
slimly attended, but the program was
carried out as advertised, and those who
were fortunate as to attend were treated
to such interesting and educational talks
as people of this country seldom have an
opportunity to hear. The sessions were
especially enlightening to the scholars
of the public school, who attended in a
body, and in turn the scholars won the
good graces and commendation of the
speakers by their close attention and ex-
cellent department. Space Is SO limited
this week that the institute can be men,
toned only in general terms and very
briefly. Every lecture was worthy of ex-
tended notice, as one and all contained
much information for the husbandman
the stockman and the fruit grower. The
speakers were not only fluent takers, but
minutely familiar with the subjects hand
led. The reason why so few attended was
on account of this being the busy season
with farmers. Spring work is on, and
they could not spare the time to turn
out

E. c. Limbach, of Loomis, stopped
over in Oroville Sunday night on his
way to southern California, where he
expects to take charge of mine. Mr..
Limbach came to Loomis some five
years ago and assumed charge of the
Palmer mountain tunnel, with which
he continued to be connected until a
few months ago. He has spent years
in the management of mines, produc-
ing and paying mines, and knows the
business from to lizard. Personally
Mr. Limbach is very pleasant gentle
man, and his departure from Loomis
leaves a vacancy in that community
that will be hard to fill. He was ac-
companied on his way out by his little
daughter, who will join her grand par.

MAKES AIM ALMOST CERTAIN
Invention Said to Guarantee Every
Shot BuIIseye, Even In
the Dark.

Charles Pechard, police official OF
Paris. has invented an attachment
that enables one to shoot revolver
more accurately in the dark than In
broad daylight, the New York Inde-
pendent states.
This attachment consists of a metal
lie tube with lens at one end and a
tiny electric lamp at the other. By
means of mirrors the light is directed
out through the lens as a slender cone.
and is sufficiently strong at distance
of some four rods for all practical pur-
poses. In the middle of the illumina-
ted field there is a small dark spot
which comedies with the line OF the
bullets flight. This enables the mex
perienced shooter to hit a selected
part of the burglars anatomy with
more certainty than he could display
in ordinary target practice.
The electric current is supplied by a
small dry battery or storage battery,
which the officer can carry in his
pocket or which the defender of the
home can place under his pillow. The
light tube can be attached to an ordi-
nary pistol, and 1t may be used as a
flash with peaceful intent or merely
as show of force.
