Improvement waa the keynote of the
council session. A board, walk waa
ordered in on the, north side of G
street from Fourth' to Eighth street,
and a resolution looking toward tbe
paying of Jefferson avenue from
fourth to Hemlock waa passed by the
ounctl.
Under the improvement head came
up tbe manner of grading and paving
O street between Fourth and 7ir.t.
The steep bin there Is presenting a
serious problem but the matter has
been referred to a committee to make
recommendations. Some ot the prop
erty owner wish that a retaining wall
be constructed in the middle ot the
street and that one side be graded
4own for uphill traffic and the other
aide have a sharper grade for down
hill traffic. Others prefer still other
methods of procedure and an agree
ment that satisfies tbe greatest num
ber of people will be reached.
A petition for sidewalks, cement, on

Walla Walla, Aug. 29. CSpectal)
With tbe pennant cinched, Walla Wal
la took a firmer hold on ita honora by
defeating La Grande yesterday 10 to .
II waa a game characterized by rather
free bitting. Walla Walla got auch a
good healthy lead that in the ninth
Brldger let down the bars a few mil.
utes and four Pippins crpssed the
plate. He tightened then and the
I game ended. ' -v
"isr.
Brldger pitched a good game with
the exception of the one Inning, as he
got himself out of several' tight holes
creditably. Harstead pitched a good
game. Neither pitcher was very wild
t-ach allowing but two walks. -
Walla Walla got her runs by steady;
plugging, there being no sensational
batting rallies.

TEST YOUR LUNGS.
A 8lmple Mtthod by Which One May
. . Measure His Development
People often suffer from' weak,- un
developed lungs without suspecting it
True, small, feeble lungs are usually
associated with "a small, narrow or
sunken chest, but not invariably. ' By
means of tbe misuse of physical cul
ture It is possible to develop large
cbest muscles, thus acquiring a big
cbest measurement, while the lungs
remain small and III nourished. " .
Again, lung mischief Is often so slow
and Inslduous in Its approach' .that the
trouble Is not discovered 'until It Is
firmly established. ' Here, however, is
a simple test which will tell you
whether your lungs are health or not:
: Take as deep a breath as ion can,
and then. In a slow but distinct, voice
count from one onward as tar a you
can without taking In more' breath
The Dumber of seconds you can con
tinue counting Is a pretty reliable In
dex to tbe state of your lungs, so yon
should have some one to time you. -
If your lungs are sound and normal
ly developed your rang will oe be
tween twenty and thirty -five seconds.
If your limit Is between tea and twen
ty seconds, there Is no need to be
alarmed; ; probably your lungs are
merely ta need of zarclsa, to be
readily obtained by regular deep
breathing hi pore air. A rang of lass
than ton seconds, however, potaia to
more or less mischief, and yon should
not daisy In having your lungs ex
amined by a medical man. London

' Chair of the Giant Idrte. ' " ' '
One of the mountain peaks of north
Wales Is known as the Chair of Idrls,
or Cader' Idrte, as the Welsh people
call It, because Its top la hollowed out
like an immense couch. According to
local tradition, whoever spends a
night in the Chair of Idrls will on the
following morning be dead, raving
mad or endowed with the loftiest poet
ical inspiration. No one seems to
know exactly who Idrls was or when
he lived, but be must havebeen a
giant if his body waa hi proportion
with his celebrated "chair." Mrs. He
mans has a flnj poem with the Chair
of Idria as the theme, and Tennyson
also mentions, it in "iEnld."

QUICKSILVER MINING.
An Occupation That Quiokly Dooms
; '- . the Workers.
" The chief quicksilver mines In Eu
rope are in the Spanish town of Alma
den, which is an Arabic word, mean
ing "the mine of qaicksllver." These
mines were formerly worked by tbe
Iberians and after them by the ancient
Romans. Between 1645 and 1843 tbe
Spanish government employed galley
Blares in them, an occupation that
soon ended In death. The fumes of
the mercury produce constant saliva
tion, and the system becomes perme
ated with the metal. '
At first the victlnv la seised with
tremblings, and then the teeth drop
ut; pains In tbe bones follow and then
death. The annual yield of mercury
Is 1.500.000 pounds, to produce which
4,000 men are engaged In this un
healthy employment ' .
After Almsden so far as yield of
Quicksilver Is concerned comes Idria,
aa Austrian town, twenty-eight miles
from- Trleet . These mines also were
once worked by criminals, who, owing
to the 'terrible qualities of the mineral,
expired after about two years' service.
: There are now nearly 500 miners en
gaged in tbe work at Idria. They are
induced to enter the mines by high
pay. A pension is allowed when tbey
are disabled, and provision Is made for
their widows and children. Pearson's
