Reads BY Light of a Sausage.

Professor Hans Molisch OF

Mail, has been able to read news

ing from a sausage.
All meat-beef as often as In
fifty-two cases out of 100 and veal in
fifty out of 100-contains the mi
crobe, which projects greenish
white light. With sausages 1t is not
so frequent but is, when present,
stronger. When the fat on the lumi-
nous sausage was scraped away 1t
Immediately ceased to give forth
light, but as soon as the surface had
again been covered by the fat oozing
from the interior the light reap

Professor Molisch asserts that the
presence of these microbes in meat
is no sign of decay, but rather the
contrary, as in no case have they
been found in meat unfit for human
consumption.

WHY FRUITS COOL THE BLOOD.

They Contain.
In health the temperature OF the

Some fruits have cooling properties,
as they contain citric acid, and this

give measured quantities OF citrates

PRESERVING DYING DIALECTS.
Use to Which Phonograph Is Being
Put I'm the British Isles.


Although nothing can be done to
prevent the decay of local dialects,
much can be done to preserve their
records. The phonograph ia being
applied for this purpose both In
Guernsey and in the Isle of Man.
The dialect language in the former is
Norman-French in the latter Manx,
one of the Gaelic group.
1t is believed that in the Isle of
Man with the passing away of the
present generation, no one will be
found to speak the dialect. The pho
nograph is being sent to different
parts of the island by the ManX Lam
guage Society; old men whose ac-
cent is pure will speak into the re-
ceiver, and the records are TO be
stored at Douglas.
Mr., Il. ID. Marqdand says that the
old Norman language still spoken in
the Channel Islands is in its main
features the same as that used by the
cultured classes of England eight
centuries ago; the tongue in which
Tallefer sang the "Chanson de Ro-
land" ut the battle of Hastings.
In Alderney," lie says, lit will
certainly have become extinct in a
very few years. In Guernsey it will
probably linger on for a generation
or two. In Jersey Norman French
will survive longest, owing partly to
the larger size of the island, partly
to the proximity tp France, and part
ly also to the influx of French agri-
cultural laborers. who spend some
months each year during the farm
ers' busy season."

TO LET CONTRACT MONDAY,
Delay Action on John

Contract for the completion of the
Dave Johnston road and bridge will
probably be awarded by the county
commissioners next Monday, the bids
opened last Monday afternoon having
been taken under advisement until
that time. Four bids were received: :
w. A. Weller, $3,9S7.45; Wright &
Currie of Rochester, $4,325.5O. j.
A. Van Eaton, who was county COM
missioner when the first work on the
bridge was done, $4,000, and Bige-
low & Hoy, $3,S73.7O.
Protests to the completion of the
bridge, which were heard last Mon
day morning, were presented by three
persons, who also offered a petition.
The arguments offered were that the
road and bridge were not needed,
that they would be expensive to main
tain because of the several hundred
feet of trestle, and that the money
should be spent on other roads in the

city engineer of Olympia and last
summer and fall special engineer

E. w. Ferris to become postmaster at
Mt. Vernon.
The appointment will not be made
until the regular meeting of the for
estry board the latter part of this

support favoring his appointment
but his qualifications for the place

He alienated himself from the old
time Republicans when he side
tracked into the Bull Moose aggrega-
tion in 1912, that time to run for the
legislature, and he rubbed it in still
more when he sailed into the COM
missionership under the Non-Partisan
banner in 1914. And since he has
been on that job he has managed to
rid himself of most of the support he
had two years ago, the support that
put him where he is now. There are
those who would like to see Dodge

chase and donate to the association
the use Of a cow-testing outfit;
Adolph Schmidt Of the Olympia Dairy
Products company has been donating
his time and an automobile this week
to escorting Mr.. Lashbrook to the
various districts of the county, and
Frank M. Kenney, cashier Of the

PETTY LOOT TOTALS 1000.
First Plundering of Industrial Insur.
ance Funds Was Cashing Small
Warrants.

The amount of loot secured by John
F. Gillies in his early plundering OF
the industrial insurance fund, before
the plan of forging fake claims
against the department of which he
was claim agent was devised, has been
determined by Governor Lister and
Assistant Attorney General John M.
Wilson to be about $1,000.
This is the result announced of ex-
tended Investigations which have been
under way since Frank Stones con-
fession. The scheme first used was
that of cashing small warrants that
had been legally issued and belonged
to a series of payments, but which
we're held out and never reached the
claimant.
