NEW YORK, Feb. 10. Tho In crease of the dally period of sunlight, according to the latitude, beginning with tho winter solstice, and certain peculiarities resulting from the dif ference between true sun time and mean time recorded by our clocks, are interesting In connection certain peculiarities none the curious about tho distribution time at the Pole. It has been seen how the inclina tion of the earth's axis produces, ac cording to tho season, variations in the length of the day from the equa tor to the pole. At this extreme geo metrical point, marked by 90 degrees of latitude, there should be theore tlfcally a long day of six months, cor responding to spring and summer, during which the sun would never co below the horizon, and a long night, also of six months, corresponding to autumn and winter, during which tho sun would remain constantly hid den below the horizon, and there would be no other light than that coming from the stars and the moon and also, from the pale, intermittent lustre of tlie aurora borealls. But In reality the year Is not so regularly divided in those Inhospi table regions which crown with snow and Ice tho extremity of the world's axis. On account of atmospherlo rofraction tho sun is" raised above the horizon at the spring equinox and at the autumnal equinox, and if one takes into account the aurora and tho twilight, which reach their great est duration there, as well as the In fluence of the slight lowering of the horizon due to the sphericity of the earth, it is evident that the Immense polar day will be sensibly prolonged beyond the theoretical six months. Tt should last more than seven months, and the total length -of the perma nent night which follows it ought to last a little less than live months. Can Keep Pace With Earth. That is not all. Human actions arg.regulated by time. Years, dates, days, hours, alterations of sunlight and the darkness of night measure our life. Well, at the polo none of that exists, according to our usual conception of time. One has all the hours at the same time and not any particular hour. Local time disap pears. Identification of days and . dates there Is very complicated. A theoretical instance may give an idea of this. Lot us suppose an observer situ ated at tho north pole, about tho middle of the polar day, at tho pre cise spot where all tho meridians pome together. Provided with a good chronometer, ho could, by com paring the hour given by that instru ment, with tho relative position of the sun, find the meridian of Paris. But If ho turns half way to the right It is sufficient to pass from noon to C o'clock in the evening.' On the other hand a half turn to tho left gives hira C o'clock In tho morning. Fin ally, by turning completely around he is put instantly opposite midnight. Better still, ho could have at the samo time ono foot at noon, the other at midnight. For this pur poso it would be sufficient for him to placo each of his two feet at the polar point, ono on tho first morldlan corresponding to noon, tho other on the 180th, which corresponds to mid night. If he neglects noon to occupy himsolf with midnight ho can by sim ply mdvlng from ono foot to tho other of each sldo of this 180th de ' greo of actual longitude, theoretical ly ,as tho day changes its name and date, pass nB many times as ho pleas ed and in tho twinkling of an eye from today to tomorrow, from now to yesterday, from ono date to an other, from Sunday to Monday, from no mattor what day to tho preceding or to tho following, from ono week to another or from ono month to nn othor, whether forwards or back wards. All Hours tho Samo. If ho goes away from tho pole to a distance corresponding to a clrclo of latltudo measuring twenty-four kllomotres In clrcumforonco, and it ho boglns to walk In a circular direc tion toward tho west at a speed of ono kllomotro an hour from tho mo went whon his shadow points direct ly to tho exact position of tho pole, what change would ho notice during his course? None whatovor. Al though ho might march twenty-tour soura in succession ho would not As So one lamp lights another, nor grows less, nobleness enklndleth noble ness. Lowell. It Pays to Smile. Smile a little, smile a little. As you go along; Not alone when life is pleasant, But when things go wrong. Care delights to seo you frowning, Loves to hear you sigh; Turn a smiling face upon her, Quick the dame will fly.. Smile a little, smile a little All along tho road, Every life must have its burden, Every heart its load. Why sit down in gloom and darkness With your grief to sup? As you drink fate's biter tonic, Smile across the cup. Smile upon the troubled pilgrim Whom you pass or meet. Frowns are thorns and smiles arc blossoms, Oft for weary feet. Do not make the way seem harder By a sullen face. Smile a little, smile a little, Brighten up tho place. Haven't you been thanking your lucky stars this week that your homo was on Coos Bay where the balmy breezes have been whispering of spring instead of back east where blizzards have been raging and the cold chills chasing each other up and down the backs of tho inhabitants. nni . i .if ACT XHVVV H g inis is me LAoi wman. w uuj duett Shirts for $1.20 Monarch Shirts for - 80c Hub Clothing and Shoe Company CASH ONLY MONEY TALKS futaaamaaaaamaaaaaaamaaaamaamatnaaaaaaaaattaaammaaaa THE HEIGHT OF CIGAR QUALITY IS ACHIEVED IX A DERBY THE WEATHER. and Smile upon your undone labor; Not for one who grieves O'er his task, waits wealth glory, Ho who smiles achieves.

Of course, but they shouldn't pick them before they are ripe. This Is a pretty big country, and there are more than eighty millions of people in it, but there is weather enough for everybody. Dr. Wiley thinks we will become molly-coddles If 'we quit eating meat. And there Is nothing a beef baron hates worse than a mollycoddle. Revenge Is not nearly as sweet as people think It is. A man who can gracefully take In structions Is a genius. It Isn't necessary for any woman to die for her honor. To your notion, everybody except yourself is impatient. Tho thirteenth child of New York parents, born tho other day, was twins. It takes a man who doesn't work to talk eloquently about the dignity of labor. Figuring what we would do If we had a million dollars Is a harmless sort of amusement. It Is reported that John L. Sulli van is going to get married. There Is a man who Isn't afraid of any thing. - "Is it possible for tho course of true love to run smooth?" asks a wo man writer. Not in the fiction wo read. It Is a relief to know that Senator Tillman and President Taft are on such good terms that the famous "pitchfork" will have a good rest. We haven't any patience with a man who will stand up and argue that the tail of Halley's comet is re sponsible for the high cost of living. Did any man. when the barber holds a mirror to the back of his head and asks If the hair is O. K. ever have nerve to say it wasn't. And could the barber help It If he did?

Union Meat Market The "Automobile dance" Is the latest thing in the east. If it were anything like a suggestion of the Coos Bay affairs It must be a "Breakdown." There are still a few old-fashioned mothers in the country. One of them broke her hand while spanking a ten-year-old boy the other day. A southern man wants a divorce because his wife threw a glass of jel ly at him. Reports do not say she hit him. Determined to say something ori ginal, a university professor declares that "a dollar a day buys moro than it is worth." It Is said that ouo Columbia Uni versity professor sings in 11 langua ges. Otherwise his habits are above reproach. Prison life Is said to agree with Banker Walsh, but that sort of life Isn't being generally recommended for bankers.

For, whllo ho would bo making one kllomotro an hour toward the wo3t tho earth, horno In its dally rotation, Dr. Wiley says that living on r vegetable diet will create a race of weaklings. Tho doctor probably said it right after eating a porterhouse steak. The courts have decided that a woman has no right to open her hus band's mall. They have not, how ever, decided what they are going to do about It. Science, It Is said, has produced a mechanical device to determine the state of a girl's heart toward a bash ful lover. Sclenco might havo been In better business. Whoever originated the groundhog-weather idea understood human nature.
