were masters of Greece. These an
cients, says Popular Science Monthly
carried themselves in such way that
the muscles. organs, circulation and
even the brain and nervous system
were braced in harmonious relation

poise in walking? Briefly, by setting
the shoulders back and squaring them
evenly, by carrying the chest high ana
well arched forward, by keeping the
stomach in and the neck perpendicular.

canes to manufacture are those from
rhinoceros horns. Such a. cane, when
made Of one piece of horn, often costs

HEPPNER ROAD Is
BEING SURVEYED
pilot Rock Recordi


State Engineer M. O. Bennett and
his crew Of men. who have finished
their survey of the Pilot Rock PEN
dleton road, arrived In Pilot Rock
yesterday morning to begin the sur
vey of the Pilot Rock-Heppner road,
which they will carry from Pilot Rock
to the Morrow county line In speak
ing of the provisions of the proposed
bonding act. Mr.. Bennett says that he
has discovered many people laboring
under wrong impressions concerning
the work the county win have to do
in preparing the roads for hard sur
facing. Many seem to have the idea
that the county will have to lay
crushed rock or gravel over the road
in the same manner street is pre-
pared for paving, while this is in fact
erroneous. All that is required of
the county is that the road be proper
ly laid out, properly crowned and
drained. 1t is his opinion that a
large portion of the roads in this
county can be prepared for paving at
$1,000 per mile.

LOOKED LIKE INVERTED RAIN
Bullets From Machine Guns Gave Odd
Impression to Aviator at Whom
They Were Aimed.

1t will be easily understood, writes
Mr.. G. G. Grey i'm "Tales of the Fly
ing Service" that before a bullet that
has been shot straight upward begins
to fall there must be point where 1t
stands dead still. and that for the last
part Of Its upward path 1t travels very
slowly. One officer Of my acquaint-
ance told me, after some months Of
war, that his most curious experience
was when once, and once only, he dis
covered the exact extreme range point.
He was flying along quite peacefully
on bright sunny morning at an alti-
tude of little over 5000 feet, without
worrying about anything, when sudden
ly he saw something bright dart past
the side of the machine. He began to
look about him and saw, a shade be-
low him and a trifle to one side,
whole stream Of little bright things gilt
tering in the sun.
Then he realized that he had just
struck level that happened to be the
extreme vertical range Of a machine
gun that was making uncOmmOnly
good shooting. Other bullets from
rifles and other machine guns also
flashed into view as he few along, and
when his eyes caught the right focus
he could follow the slow, tOpmOst part
of their movement for a considerable
distance. 1T looked" he said. "just as
II 1t were raining upward" and the
phenomenon was so novel that he quite
forgot for time, that the 'raindrops"
indicated that he was unpopular with
someone belOw.-YOuth's Companion.
