~ happy condition Of peoples

It Is the business of both

Org. Physiology reports that
memory is stopping of nervous
disturbances that come in from
the sense organs, and holding
them 50 that they may, in turn,
set up, at some future time, a
; nervous disturbance that shall
produce activity" So DIR. e. G..
Martin states the case, and gives
this example: IF a fox, after TAX

Of one that he saw roosting''-
that is a case Of nervous dis

fox's memory that dooms the Sec

Psychologists speak Of arrival

nervous disturbances are stopped
to be retained until they set up
action by reproducing the disturb

permanent registry, and may be
used over and over to produce ac-

Modesty commits suicide when

No rule better than this: Do

This Is such a hustling era that

To become a father Is an ac-

aviation.
The two officers, who, it will

new attempt in one machine,
which Is being constructed by
three different makers, in sec.

The aviators had covered the
first 10000 miles of the route

they broke down last year in the
Bay of Bengal. They intend to
continue from there by way of
Japan. the Kurile Islands and
Kamchatka, following the lines Of
the Aleutian Islands to South.
ern Alaska and Vancouver.
From Vancouver their route
lies across Canada and the Unit
ed States to New York, thence
north to Halifax, Newfoundland
ana Greenland and back to Lon
don by the way of Iceland, the
Shetlands, the Orkney0 and Scot
land. To make sure Of the North
Pacific crossing, which is regard
ed as one Of the most difficult
stages of the flight, steam
yacht will go out to Southern

Roger Pocock of the Legion Of
Frontiersmen, under whose aus
pices the expedition is taking
place. Among the ships COM
pany Of frontiersmen are two
flight commanders, a naturalist, a
photographer, a scientist and
cinematographer.
From Southern Alaska along
the chain of islands between the
North Pacific and the Boring
sea, sixteen dumps will be ar.
ranged at intervals of 200 miles,
with stores on each, and on GER

The flight itself Is expected to
take four to six months, and the
yacht is being provisioned for a
fifteen months cruise. Her stores
include 400 pounds Of pork thirty
barrels of flour, fifteen Wiltshire
cheeses, 10000 Turkish and Egyp-
tian cigarettes and four barrels

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

TCoNoMY is a great revenue.
- Every fame worth having
must be fought for.
A wise man may look ridicu.
lous in the company of fools.
Error, though blind herself,
sometimes brings forth children
that can see.
Improbable eloquence Is like
the cypress-great and tall, but
bears no fruit.
Trifles light as air are to the
jealous combinations strong as
proofs of holy writ.
Some men are wise before they
undertake a thing; others while
they are doing it, and still others
when 1t is over.
IT'S education forms the COM
mon mind. Just as the twig is
bent, the trees inclined.-Pope.
That man may last, but never
lives,
Who much receives but nothing
gives,
Whom none can love, whom none
can thank,
Creations blot, creations blank.
Gibbons.
Justice and truth are absolutely
essential to the highest friendship.
We respect a friend all the more
because he is just and true, even
when he hurts our pride.
The pride that holds its head
high rarely picks up anything,
whereas modesty, like a diver.
gathers pearls by keeping it's head
low.
