.EDISON ATTRACTS At.
TENTION At P.P. l. F.

Oregon Building, p. P. l. f.. Oc-
tober 26.-NO distinguished visitor
to the great Exposition aroused a
more friendly interest than Edison,
the inventor. Crowds thronged
about him and his party everywhere
they appeared and with no other were
the curious more frankly desirous of
coming in contact This wonder work.
er was about the Exposition grounds
most of last week and on Edison day
at the great Festival hall he was Civ
en- an ovation not before accorded
anybody or anything. The building
was crowded to the limit and ten
thousand waited outside to catch a
glimpse of the noted man. His ap-
pearance on the outside was signal
for more noise and friendly express
ion than had ever been heard here
before. At night, the Exposition fire.
works were more elaborate than at
any other time, and Edison, in the
center of the activity, enjoyed it to
the limit. He saw himself in tre-
mendous movie pictures there, and
then in a large set piece of fire works.
The enormous scintillator projected
vari-colored streams of. light over
everything at the Exposition, and
specially colored lights played upon
the Palace of Fine Arts. 1t was a
great demonstration for Edison, wiz
ard of electricity, hero of peace
rather than battle, military or polit-
ical. One of the remarkable Incl
dents in connection with his visit was
his talking over the telephone for the
first time. Edison, who was quite
deaf for long time, always had an
aversion to the telephone and posi-
lively refused to use one. While here
he talked from the Exposition to his
factory in New Jersy, and probably
enjoyed the experience more than
any other that was his at the Expo
sition. He is a very quiet, unassum-
ing man, grey haired, but with ap-
parent vitality and no little energy. |
Henry Ford, great manufacturer and |
philanthropist, was much with Edi-
son while here and attracted consid-
cradle attention on his own hook.
He is reputed to be "the thinnest'
inventor in the world. He is just
little thicker than two sheets of pa

North Yakima. The Bachelors

two has been weakened by repeated
losses and corresponding gains in the
ranks of the benedicts, is staggering
under a solar plexus blow. The guilty
one is ]. 7. Urquhart, proprietor OF

PENSIONS FOR TEACHERS.
The Law Is In Effect in State of
Illinois.

To the present the efforts of the
Iowa teachers to have pension sys-
tenn established for the benefit Of
those who have been worn out in the
public service, have been barren OF
results. For some unaccountable
reason, the lawmakers at Des Moines
have killed several bills which had
been prepared by the teachers and
were being given fairly strong back
ing. OF course the Iowa teachers
will persevere and eventually they
will get what they want and really
need In this connection the follow
| ing from. a Rock Island paper re-
garding the teachers pension law in
Illinois, ought to prove of interest
to many:
Teachers who are beginning their
career as instructors in the public
schools of Illinois, will find their pay
checks 81 short each month for the
next five months because of the con-
tribution they are required to make
to the Illinois state teachers pension
and retirement fund All new teach
ers are compelled by law to pay the
monthly assessments while the older
instructors have until 1920 to deter
mine whether they wish to become
participants in the pension act.
Teachers who have taught less
than ten years will be required to
pay 81 each month for the first five
months of school, and those who
have taught more than ten years and
less than Is years will be taxed 50
each month for the first five months.
Instructors who have taught more
than L years pay Sc each month for
the first five months, and in each of
the three classes the money is de-
Quoted by the school directors and
forwarded to the state treasurer be-
fore the middle of July of the year
after the money is received.
All assessments cease after a
teacher has been in service % years
and then it is possible for the in
structors who get the benefit of the
pension to retire and receive an in
come of S40O annually Each teach
er will be furnished with state
ment by the school board showing
the amount deducted monthly from
his salary. The name of the teach
er who pays assessments must be
promptly reported to the county sup
erintendent at the time the assess
ment is withheld.
No teacher can receive this pen
sion unless the equivalent of $500
and interest for twenty-five years
Aas been paid. For those teachers
