TO TOUR STATE
WIZAlRD OF TRACK WILL COME TO
LA GBA2KDE.
To Give Tlioty Hints on Training Is
Hit Purpose.
Bill Hayward, the famous athletic
wizard and coach of the University of
Oregon, baa arranged tor a tour oft
the high schools of the state, lectur
ing on "Proper and Improper Methods
of Track Work." Bill", who has long
since been the peer of Pa-iflc North
west trainers, and Olympic team gen
eral, will take along his collection of
Olympic, game '.photographs and lan
tern slides taken at Stockholm last
year." . ' '
"The Idea,", says Hay ward In h!s an-.
nouncement, "Is to give the boys some
help and advice as to how they should
go about their training. If they are
going In for athletics, there Is no rea
son why they should not do It right
and a few tlmSly hints will . bring
about surprising results." - -..
- Las year Coach Hayward gave a
talk before, track season to the boys
of the Eugene high school. It was such
a success that other schools asked
for the same thing, and this year's.
extended trip is a result. ; Arrange-,
ments have already been made at The
Dnlles, Hood River, La Grande. Pen-1
dleton. Bnker City. Astoria and the'
three Portland high schools. The coach'
exoocts also to, visit the Coos Bay dis
trict, and the southern and eastern
part of the state. .' ' '

CHANCE FORECASTS. "'
Wrltsrs of Old Who Dimly Pointsd to
Modern Inventions.
Chance pu runes lu the literary works
of other days describe with uncanny
exactness Invention of far luter times.
For instance, we llud in the "Prolu
sions" of Strada the Roman, which
were published In the yeur 1017. what
might he held to embody a crude de
scription of wireless telegraphy. .
Strada represent two friends as car
ry ipg on a correspondence by means of
a "certain loadstone which has such
virtue in It tbnt. If It touches two nee
dles when one of the needles begins to
move, the other, although at ever so
great a distance, -moves at the same
time aud in the same innnner."
In 1 074 Robert Hoke published o
work wherein be observed that at
glasses Improve the vision so way
might lie found to improve our other
aenwes "It Is uot Impossible," says he.
"to bear a whisper a distance of a fur
long, and perhaps the nature of the
thing would not make It Impossible al
though (lint furlong should be ten times
multiplied." This seems to be a fair
forecast of the telephone. , .
In "GuiTlver'a Travels' Swift causes
bis hero to relate In the voyage to .n-
puta that the astronomers there "have
likewise discovered the two lesser stars
or satellites which revolve about Mars."
This has been held to constitute a as
. tire on sham science. Nevertheless
, Professor As:iph Hull n feT years ago
I discovered the two tiny satellites. '
It was more than 1,700 years ago
' that Lucian gave an account of the
. manner wherein the Inhabitants of the
moon drank "air squeezed or compress
ed Into a goblet" so that it formed
kind of dew. This clearly suggests
liquid air.

ocnues an uenai snip lue sans or wuicn

M. Blanc will permit you to play any
way you like, and to double your bet
as often as yon like until It reaches
6,000 francs at roulette or 20,000 francs
at trente et quarunte. Then you must
begin over again, for it Is quite clear
that if one were permitted to double
Indefinitely It would only be a ques

Thus it happens that M. Blanc, who

Bringing Up a Dog.
A writer lu Country Life In America
gives some advice ou tbe bringing up
of a dog. As be tells it, the process
looks easy enough. The arst and most
important lessou for a pup to learn Is
to stop auythiug be may be doing when
you say "Stop" mid to continue when
you say "All riht" If well learned
this will explain to him all future com
mands. After Ihis comes the lesson to
lie down when you command "Down"
aud to stay down while you leave him
l-or this latter It is best to tie bim to
something and then If he dixrs not drop
wueu you cull "Uown" from a dlstauce
return quickly and. scolding, push bim
down forcibly. A caress mid a taste of
food should be his reward if be does

Old Tims School Hours.
In Scotland, up to tbe middle of the
eighteenth century, the usual school
hours were from 0 a. ru. till p. in..
with two breaks of an hour each. Some
schools opened uu hour earlier and
worked so long us daylight lasted. So
alteration lu the hours was made on
Saturday, atid even on Sunday a cer.
tain amount or senool work was done.
The holidays were restricted to a day
at Candlemas ami at Whitsun, and a
fortnight lu the antnmu.
