Matter of BueiMBso. Last Monday
morning while on their way back to
fialem on the train, a number of the
Sirnou members of the bouse, from
Portland, war discussing the legisla
tive situation. The discussion waxed
warm at times and very loud talk was
indulged in. There wm one member,
howevor, who could be beard above
the voices of the rest. He is a prod
uot of Kansas, having been in Oregon
bout four years. Well, tbit metro
politan statesman finally arrived at a
point where, by mistake or otherwise,
the truth waa to be uttered. He said :
"Gentlemen, politics has nothing to do
with tba senatorial situation so far as
I am oouoerned. What do I care
bout potltlosT It is matter of busi
ness with me. A man ia a dd fool
who will let his politios interfere with
bis business." At thla stage of the
-proceedings our informant arrived at
his destination and left tba train. No
doubt tba Multnomah man spoke bis
sentiments and those of a number of
otheis. It seems to be a matter of
"business" with a number of gentle
men In the present legislature.
It Waa A Succass. The school en
tertainment at the opera bouse last
Saturday evening was a grand euooeas
and waa witnessed by about 800 peo
ple. The recitations, dialogues, duets,
songs, solos and addresses were en
joyed by all After selection by the
orchestra the opening addrese was de
livered by Superintendent WatU, who,
during bis remarks, aaid many good
things suggestive of the results that
are to be attained through the coin
mon school oourse. The address of
lion. T. J. Cleeton was linirly and to
the point, being directed principally
to theory and practice in the common
school, where the early training ol
the child is had. The programme of
the evening as printed was very lung
and it was found necessary to omit a
considerable portion of it. There were
two graduates of the high school
elaea, Miae Daisy Welkins and Mr.
Elmer Newell, who were presented
- with diplomas at the close of the ex
Tim nrr aeiiliiilon was made
by Prof. Hall In a few well chosen and
appropriate romsrks. The parts on
the programme had been well selected
and thine rendered were much ap
preoiated by the audience. While it
would taka too much space to go Into
detail on the separate parts, we wi.h
to say that all acquitted themselves
creditably, showing considerable de
gree of talent and that they had been
well trained. Professor Hall hat take
great interest in the school her and
has labored very hard in preparing
the entertainment of Saturday even
ing, which, no doubt, will go far to
ward increased interest io the school,

things to the square Inoh than bad

while the supply was abundant, in
coarae of half an hour a glance at the
fragments showed there bad been
aome one there. Indeed one would
have thought that crowd had been
fasting for a fortnight. A physician
was on hand, however, to prescribe for
overloaded stomach, as was aho a
Uwvar to write wills in case of threat
ened fatalities, and the reporter, ever
alert for news, had his pencil sharpened
ready for an obituary from personal
observation. Well, all survived ; and
in little while four tables and as
many packs of curds and score sheets
were brought into use. Fifteen hands
were played at whist, at the conclu

We received a very interesting letter
from Mr. J. Kenyon Bourne the last week
containing solutions to tbs ten problems of
week before last. We are sorry we did not
receive the answers in time for last week's
issue. Iu snswer to tbe flab problem, Mr
Bourne tars: "Think ths sire would de
pend vry much upon who csugbt it. It
would be at any rate twice the lengtn oi lis
head and tail." Mr. Bourne offer a solu
lion to the "flag staff" problem as follows,
which we submit to the consideration of
tbe readers of Ths Mist. He ssys: "It
seems to me that tbe bypotbeneuse would
increase ss you descend from tbe middle
of the staff in tbe same ratio as it decreases
when you ascend; therefore tbey would
averajr ths same for the wbole 240 laps of
the ribbon." Here Is bis solution: "Mean
circumference of staff (A) equals 32 in. Dis
tance between each lap (B) 6 in. A square
plus B square equals C square (bypotben
euse), 82 square plus 6 square equals C
square, 82 square plus 6 square equals 1000.
Tbe squsrs root of 1080 equals 32.S8764 in.
approximately. This multiplied by 240
(the number of laps) equals 7813.8336 In. or
answer, 317 yds, lft 1.8330 In. If tbe rib
bon was to be cut and wrapped in rings
around ths flaaystaff It would be only 313
yrda, 1 ft." We are not prepared to say
whether or not this ansaer is correct at
present. Let us bear from others.
