Without a pause. , W I thou I n sound ; So spins the Dying world around: IIow about those improvements on the bicycle track? Miss Pearl Hibbard has ordered her a new high grade wheel. William Barnu'n has ordered three "Overland" bicycles for familv use. Medford has more lady bicycle rider than any other town in JaoKson county and our men folk who ride are not few. Day Parker having griven ud bicycle racinc, Billy Bates will soon begin training-, iu order to defend Medford claim to the championship of Southern Oregon and Billy will so defend. Nothing; is more delicious than early morning; in first of June. The land scape clad in its garb of tender green, is wholly bewitching- in the rays of the early-risen sun. The robin and the lark, and the phoebe, and the song sparrow fill but don't start without your breakfast. Bicycling before the inner man bit- been replenished is bad, very bad. The contemplated bicycle picnic, of which we made mention two weeks ago, hM become a certainty and June 23 has been set for the day. Big preparations are being made and everything pos sible is done to make the affair a grand one and one long to be remem bered. Those not desiring to go on wheels are welcome to go by other con veyances and boats will be provided at the river for ' rowing and on tho whole H is going to be an u.Tair of just a little more than the or ornary run of pleasure in the bicycl arena of this county. SCHOOL NOTES. Sixth grade have taken their final examination in mental arith metic. Visitors during the past week: Mrs. W. H. Barr, Mrs. Mary Leslie, Mrs. Richardson, and Rev. Wood. The graduating class this year will make a departure from the usual program of exercises. All th original productions of the class will bear upon some feature of America. By vote of the class there will be no salutatory or valedictory. Instead of a class history and prophecy the class will appear in a reunion twenty years after graduating. The class will make as ample provisions as possible for those at tending the graduating exercises but it is impossible to seat everybody and please everyone at such a time. The ushers will have full charge of the seats during the entire eve ning. They may find it advisable to ask some to change seats. No gentleman will object to that at such a time. It may be well for young children to remain at home and babies who want to cry should do it before coming to the hall. Ex ercises will begin at eight o'clock and no one will be allowed to enter during the presentation of any part of the program . Some niiin. This is hoxv a Latin-American journal describes Gen. Eloy Alfaro, "campea dor, libertador, re generator and su preme chief of the Ecuador rebels: "Imagine aU indomitable sadness, all nostalgia, all aspirations toward tb infinite, all revolutionaryrsomberness, all luminous and grand ideas, all the abrupt energies of the insurrectionary conscience placed in the tangible form of a man, indomitable and generous, combative and austere; sucb as Alfaro. His indigenous head wears a golden aureole.". .. .. .- 0"-. Rednclni; the Soldier's Load. Aluminum is to be adopted as a sub stitute for iron and steel in the Frenck army. In view of the absenee of roads, and the steepness of the tracks in. Madagascar, the kettles and other im pedimenta of the troops taking part in the expedition, the trees of the saddle of the cavalry and the stirrups are to be inaiie of aluminum. The trees will have bands of steel set in when the metal is in a state of fusion. Th weight of tho French heavy cavalry saddle tree is now about five pounds, but with the substitution of aluminum it will be reduced considerably less than two and a half pounds.
