Crooks, president of Alabny College, welcomed the visitors to the city end college, and President Leo responded on behalf of the academy. In bia addresa of welcome President Crooks traced the growth of the popularity of science, recalling how a few years ago science was regarded as something far above the ordinary man. but how now we have scientific methods In every business and vocation. Responding to the address or welcome. President Lee said: Reception Is Appreciated. "Tour cordial and hearty welcome la roost sincerely appreciated by the Oregon Academy of Sciences. You have tendered us a reception at once gracious, generous and sincere: of the latter there ran be no question, for we come with no commercial consider ation to present nor any promise of financial benent to offer. To ua It la the more gratifying, for it shows, aa yon have expressed It. an appreciation of our endeavor. "Tou have certainly done more than could Jsave been expected to conduce to the pleasure of our visit. We are not people of luxurious tastes, but a humble body of students anxious to discover and disseminate truth. We operate In a little world almost bid den from public view. "But really we should not be sur prised at your generosity, for the peo ple of Albany, of Linn County In fact, hare ever been noted for their large- hearted hospitality. Its pioneers com prised some of Oregon's greatest ora tors. Jurists, statesmen, financiers and professional men. Their successors have shown themselves a vigorous, pro gressive and enterprising commonwealth. methods, and that upon the preaent generation rests the tremendous re sponslblllty of laying the foundation for the attainment of higher practical usefulness by enlarging the capabilities of the future. "In order to keep pace with the rapid progress being made along all lines ut development, we must also keep step with the onward march of civilization and open up a free highway for all searchers after tru'.h as revealed by nature, by providing means for the In tellectual growth of all our people to a degree commensurate with the ma terial growth of our state. r Ideas Sought. "No line of effort could produce more for the advancement of our people than a 'clearing-bouse' of new ideas, one that would be a center from whlcs would radiate social and educational Influences which would aid all public and private agencies In bring ing about Improved conditions In our educational system and put an end to any special privileges; though some of our cltlsens might be timid at first In taking advantage of the facilities offered by the academy of acience. not realizing that It Is for the benefit of all and Ita full privllegea are theirs. It would also Increase the Interest of our youth ia the more useful and ele vating recreations. "In place of the cheap dancehall. the street-corner and the well-lighted attractive amusement place which lure our young people Into ways that are neither educational nor wholesome, the academy would offer something better. We can drive out the bad only by giving something better In Its place. We must therefore provide better op portunities for our descendants by establishing an exchange of modern thought and modern ideas which will aid them In gaining knowledge of the range and complexity of nature's unex plored territory a territory aa un limited aa time and space and one which has neither beginning nor end. "We have outgrown the old Idea that our ability to learn ends with our school days and that education can be acquired only from books, well know ing that with all progressive people school days never end, even thougn our body does cease to grow in a few years, our mind if permitted will con tlnue to grow aa long- as life last Our most valuable knowledge is gained through communion with nature an not alone from books In the school room, for there Is much for all of u vet to learn facts which we should know, can know, and will know If we but make the proper effort. Every ad ditlon to human knowledge la an ad ditlon to human power. Individual Kffort Counts. "Many of our best educated people today are those who were denied school facilities, but have educated themselves by cultivating their intellect and doln their own thinking. On the other hand many college-bred people have lost the advantages of their schooling by no knowing how to combine theory and practice and making the best use of their minds, it being usually the case that where money in too liberally ex pended to secure advantages for any individual, he is apt to depend upon money to do all for htm while he alts down quietly and lets his opportuni ties pass because he has allowed hi Intellect to rust and his brain to go to seed for want of cultivation. Strong programmes have been ar ranged for the three sessions tomor row and besides these the annual busi ness meeting' and election of officers to aerve for the ensuing year will take place tomorrow morning. The mem bera of the academy will also be guests at a luncheon given by the Albany Commercial Club tomorrow evening. POLICE CHIEF QUITSlff Archer Will Not Seek Reten tion by Aberdeen.

Mil ler, of the Chamber of Commerce, of Portland, curator and librarian of the academy, who presented a splendid paper on the growth and objecta of the academy. He recited the history of the organization of the academy and told of Ita purpose to make popular the study of scientific aubjecta In Oregon and especially those subjects of pecu liar Interest to this atate. "Many peo ple have the Idea." he aald. "that this academy ia an organization only for prominent scientists and educators, but such ia not the case, aa it la formed to afford everyone an opportunity to study and discuss matters of every-day Im portance. In fact, one of Ita primary purpoaea la to afford thoae who have not bad the advantage of a college edu cation an opportunity to become bet ter acquainted with subjects studied at college and It dealrea to represent the higher branches of education along all lines and at the same time be more closely In touch with the messes than the high school, college or university." Speaking of the purposes and scopa of the- academy. Colonel Miller said: "The Oregon Academy of Sciences did nt come Into existence By chance, nor waa it the result of accident: but like all great Important institutions wss the creature of necessity.

Penned t'p All Night, Two Dozen Men While Time in Son-r and Thereby Arouse Police. SPOKANE. Wash.. April 28. (Spe cial.) The melodious strains of "I'm Tired of Living Alone," sung by a chorus of 24 untrained male voices on the third floor of the Federal building during the early morning hours, almost led to the arrest of two Federal petit Juries who were deliberating during the night on the fate of Sam Alexander and Louis Thompson. The cases were given the Juries early In the afternoon, and at S o'clock both Juries were unable to agree, a request to be excused was denied by the court. and the 24 men were sent back for the night. In the absence of something to do or a place to sleep, except the cold nd hard stone floor, the Juries be guiled the weary hours In singing and apeechmaklng. After the Alexander Jury finally agreed to disagree by -a vote of aix to six, the singing began. "On the Banks of the Wabash. Far Away." "Come Home, Nellie, Dear" and "There'll Be a Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight" were the early favorites of the Alexander Jury. Dire threats from the Thompson Jury came resounding through the parti tions. The Thompson Jury wanted to sleep. They asked the Alexander Jury kindly to desist. The Alexander Jury showed no Inclination toward silence nd the Thompson jury began to make the night hldeoua with "Old Black Joe." "Mother. Dear Mother, Where Is Father Tonight," and other popular tunes of the time of Jenny Lind. Two deputy marshals stretched on uncomfortable chairs In the corridor were aroused and started to roll smokes. The singing continued until a sleuth from the city police department tiptoed to the northwest end of the third floor and put a quietus on the Ingers.
