Camllle Flam marion, the noted French astrono mer is dead. Camllle Flammarlon, the French post-astronomer, made astronomy popular to the layman. He sugar coated astronomical facts, but while he won applause from the layman some of his serious-minded contemporaries in the study of as tronomy attacked many of bis the ories as pure fancies. Flammarlon. when a boy nine years old, witnessed the sun eclips ed by the moon. Owing to the phe nomenon, bis chief concern was In how astronomers who predicted this event wereble to tell. There after, the lad could usually be found at sunset on a neighboring hill watching the departing orb and waiting for the appearance of the stars.

Elder Rouse, the newly elected president, will soon move to south- ! ern Oregon with his wife to take up ' his duties in connection with this conference. The gentleman Is quite well known by a goodly number of the constituency In this part of the state, so thst he will not be, it was stated, an entire stranger to this field. " Another Important matter that came before the conference yester day was that of relocating the academy. This Institution has been conducted ' at Sutherlin for six years, the building that was form erly erected by Frank Walte for tbe Sutherlin Hotel was occupied by the academy. The upier floor was used for a dormitory. This was found to be somewhat unsuited for the purpose, so a few months ago was sold to Mr. Schmld, who is reopening It soon for a hotel. Ow ing to the sale, and later to the disposal of a 100-acre tract of land a part of the Walte place adjoining Kutherlln, is necessitated another place being found for the academy. A good many of the constituency were of opinion that the Institu tion should be located upon a farm some four to six miles from a town, where Industrial pursuits could be I undertaken and taught, giving the boys and girls an opportunity of ! helping themselves along In sc an education.
