We have been brought to one mind
and purpose. A new vigor of common
counsel and common action has been
revealed in US. We should especially
thank God that in such circumstances
in the midst of the greatest enterprise
the spirits of men have ever entered
upon, we have, if we but observe a
reasonable and practical economy, an
abundance with. which to supply the
needs of those associated with US as
we'll as our own. A new light shines
| upon US. The great duties of a new
| day awaken new and greater ma
tional spirit in US. We shall never
again be divided or wonder what stuff
we are made Of.
And while we render thanks for
those things, let US pray Almighty
God that in all humbleness of spirit
we may look always to Him
for guidance; that we may
be kept constantly in the spirit
and purpose of service; that by His
grace our minds may be directed and
our hands strengthened; and that in
and peace and the comradeship Of a
the nations of the earth.
Wherefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, Presi-
dent of the United States of America
do hereby designate Thursday, the
twenty ninth day of November next
as day of thanksgiving and prayer
and invite the people throughout the
land to cease upon that day from their
ordinary occupations and in their sew
eral homes and places of worship to
render thanks to God, the grea trulel
of nations.
In witness whereof I have hereunte
set my hand and caused the seal Of
the United States to be affixed.

Death of . Pearl.

Pearls are almost 1le only precious gems which are subject to decay, and this happens very rarely. When dis ease attacks a pearl it turns color and after time crumbles away. The most valuable pearl ever known Is supposed to have become diseased. It belonged to a Russian millionaire who kept it carefully locked in a casket and re- fused to show 1t even to his most inti- mate friends. One day some jewel ex- perts prevailed upon him to let them see the precious gem. When he opened the casket he was dlsmayed to find that the pearl had been attacked by disease and was already changing color. Soon afterward heap of white powder was all that was left of the jewel.

JITNEY BOND BILL
 GOES DOWN TO DEFEAT

OLYMPIA, March 22.-The jitney bus bond bill, which was passed by the senate recently is dead for fail ure of prompt transmission to the house. Nichols misworded his motion so it had to be first engrossed and did not reach the house until nearly noon, much too late to go on the house calendar. The effect probably will be to put jitneys out of business through impossibility to get bonds under the ruling of the supreme court extending bond liability.
 It was reported today that Govern or Lister sent word to members that if the armory bill for Everett was passed he would veto all three arm ory measures.
 The house spent all this morning wrangling over the fish code. An at tempt to take game fish from the jurisdiction of the state commission CT failed.
 At noon the senate had passed bills creating a county highway fund out of auto license money; permitting road work by free day labor or con- vict labor, permitting the establish bent of independent highway dis tricts, and had killed Houser's bill to popularize the Torrens title act. Later it passed bills for $1 state dog license tax; Whatcom county trout hatchery; raising inheritance tax on large estate and the port district bill.

THROWING A BOOMERANG.
Easy to Lsarn and is More of a knack

Easy to Learn and is More of . knaek
 Than Science.
 The boomerang is thrown overland. Grasping the small end in his right hand, the man moves his hand back ward as far as he can over the shoul- der; then he brings it forward with all the force possible, letting the boomer ang slip from his grasp when his hand is we'll forward in front.
 Throwing the boomerang is more of a knack than a science. It may be learn ed by any American or European who gives the time and patience for prac- tice. However, only native Australians boomerang turn exactly where they wish. The natives are not averse to using the boomerang as an American policeman uses his night stick. The native has the advantage over the 'cOp." He can deal an effective blow without being near the victim.
 One of the most interesting imple- ments used by the native Australian is the wOOmera or spear thrOwer. The spear thrOwer resembles rubber plant leaf with its edges turned upward. At the pointed end there Is barb or hook against which the native places the butt of his spear. In this way he can get considerable additional power for throwing the spear because of the in creased purchase.--Pittsburg Gazette Times.

STRENGTH OF EeGsHELl.s.
The Great End to End Pressure It Re-
 quires to Break Them.

Few people are aware of the wonder full provision made by nature to protect against breakage the egg of a bird, by the use of the arch.
 "The fact that no man, no matter how strong he may be, is able to break a sound hens egg by squeezing 1t be- tween his hands, applying the pressure according to the axis of the egg, made me try to find out the resistance that an egg can withstand in this way" says c. Herrasti of Westerly, k. l., in describing his experiments in the Scientific American.
 Brown eggs proved stronger than white ones and broke under pressure averaging 155 pounds, the minimum be- ing 125 pounds and the maximum 175.
 White eggs broke under an average pressure of 112.5 pounds.
 "The method employed was as fol lows: The egg, setting point upward, was placed on platform scale and pressure was applied to it by lever and a jack. Felt seats conveniently disposed prevented the egg coming in contact with the wood.
 "The shells were measured for thick ness and found to be .013 inch to 014 inch. When it was considered that the average diameter of the eggs was 1A inches some idea may be formed of the enormous strength provided by nature"
