That some person may be confused by reading cabled account of the light ing In the Philippines dated several hour ahead of time, but it must be re membered the ditferenre in longitude represents a difference of 14 hour in time.

That Sliding mountain, just below Cascade, as a good many know, ha for year been literally sliding toward the Columbia T It moved on an average of four feet a year, and the roadbed waa continually pushed out of place. With view to (topping the glacial action of thi mighty mountain, aeveral O. R. & N. officials last summer scaled the peak. Back of it they found a couple of lake with no outlet. The water from these lake undoubtedly seeped through the earth which probably rested on slanting late rock, and in this manner propelled the earth downward.

Ackerman, state super intendent of public instruction, is pre paring a course of study that must be adopted in all the school of the state? Power to make such regulation i con ferred upon the state board of-education by the legislature, and upon Professor Ackerman, as head of the schools, de volves this work. While the laws have always prescribed the text-books that shall be used in the schools there has been nothing done in the past to require uniformity in the coursesof study. Only city schools have had the benefit of sys tematic work in this direction, and this by reason of the fact that special powers have been conferred upon city boards of education. Professor Ackerman hopes to complete his system in time for the opening of the fall term of school. Dedicated the Church. Last Sunday the new Methodist church at Houlton was dedicated under such pleasing circumstances that the people .of Iloulton in particular, and those who attended the services should be proud.

Bev. Elder Que con ducted the services throughout, raising about 1300 during the day. The pastor, Mr. Haley, has been an industrious worker in the cause of the new building, and much credit i due him for perslst ent effort. The building is a credit to the town, in fact would be a credit to any place, and Houltou i to be congrat ulated on the acquisition. An Epidemlo of Whooptna Couch.
