OREGON CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1914.
"WHALES IN THE " HOpSON.
They Gave the Dutch Colonists
8oare In the Winter of 1646.
In 10-10 the colouy at Kensselaers
wijlc had a very hurd winter of It In
deed. On tlie 25tli of November the
North river was closed and remained
frozen for four months. A very liigb
freshet followed, which destroyed a
number of houses In the vicinity, near-,
ly carried away the fort and Inflicted
considerable damage In the colony.
This, however, was not an unusual
thing to the colonists, who In Holland
had been accustomed to equally hard
winters. Much worse was the appear
ance of a sea monster that they had
never seen in their native country.
"At the same time as the freshet,"
says Antonle de Hooges, secretary of
Bensselaerswljlf, "there appeared be
fore us a certain fish of considerable
size, snow white in color, round In the
body and blowing water out of his
head. What It portended God the Lord
only knew. At the same instant this
flsh appeared we had the first thunder
and lightning this year." The public
astonishment had scarcely subsided
when "another monster wns seen, estl
mated at forty feet in length, of a
brown color, having flns In bis 'bacli
and ejecting water in like manner high
In the air."
This fish "which had first ascended
the river (the North river) stranded on
his return to sea on an island some
fortv miles from the mouth of the
river, near which place four'i others
grounded this year."
This island goes since by the name of
Walvisch or Whale island.-Gazette de
Hollande.
THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
Those Who Are and Are Not Eligible
i to the House of Commons.
The British parliament consists of
the king (or queen regnant), the lords
spiritual and temporal and the com
mons. The crown virtually appoints
the lords spiritual, and the peerages of
the lords temporal have been created
by the crown, but the members of the
house of commons are elected.
Every male British subject of full
age and sound mind is eligible unless
he is a peer, a member of the clergy of
the Roman Catholic church, the Church
of England or the Church of Scotland,
a Judicial ofllcer, a bolder of an office
under the crown which has been cre
ated since 1705 or a pensioner from the
crown.
A member of the house of commons
holds office until the dissolution of par
liament by proclamation under the
great seal., The king summons parlia
ment to meet and prescribes the time
and place of Its meeting, prorogues
and dissolves It and commands the
writ for the election of members to
the house of commons, the present
statute law exacts the meeting of par
liament once In three years, but the
annual voting of supplies has super
seded obsolete statutes.
In addition to the general elections
held after the dissolution of a parlia
ment, there are byeleetlons, occurring
when a seat has become vacant by the
death of a member, by 1x1b succession
to the peerage or by bis acceptance of
office under the crown. New York
Times.

What feature of London bas the

Mazzlul loved above all things else the
London fogs.
"When you look up," ho wrote, "the

ed vault, which always gives me, I
don't know why, an idea of the phos
phorescent light of the inferno. The
whole city seems under a kind of spell
and reminds me of the witches' scene
In 'Macbeth,' ox the nrocksbnre or th
wiccn or isnaor. The passersny loos;
like gliosis, i One feels almost a ghost
oneself."

Reliable evidence is abundant that women
i are constantly being restored to health by
Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
The many testimonial letters that we are contin tolly pub
lishing in the newspapers hundreds of them ar all genu
ine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering that has comt to these
women solely through the use of Lydia E. PI ikham'
Vegetable Compound.
Money could not buy nor any kind of influer te obtain
such recommendations ; you may depend upon . that any
testimonial we publish is honest and true if yoi have any
doubt of this write to the women whose true n tones and
addresses are always given, and learn for yourself,
I Read this one from Mrs. Waters:
Oamdkn, N..T. " I was side for two years with nervous Bpclls, find
my kidneys were affected. I had a doctor all tho time and used a
galvanic battery, but nothing did mo any good. I was not ablo to go
to bed, but Bjieut niy tiino oi.a conch or in a sleeping-chair, and soon
became almost a skeleton, finally my doctor went away for his
health, and my husband heard of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegotablo
Compound and got mo some. In two months I got relief and now I
am like a now woman and am at my usual weight. I recommend
your medicine to every one and so does niy husband." Mrs. Tiixib
Waters, 1135 Knight St., Camden', N.J.
And tliis one from Mrs. Haddock:
Utioa, Okl a. " I was weak and nervous, not able to do my work
and scarcely able to be on niy feet. I had backache, headache, palpi
tation of the heart, trouble with my bowels, and intlammation. Since
taking tho Lydia E. l'inkham's Vegetable Compound i am better
than I have been for twenty years. I think it is a wonderful medi
cine and I have iveonnneuded it to others." Airs. Mast Ahn IIad
dock, Utioa, Oklahoma.
Now answer this question if you can. Why should a
woman continue to suffer without first giving Lydia E. '
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know that,
it has saved many others why should it fal in your case?
' For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vogctablo
Compound lins been tho standard rented v for fe
male Ms. No one sick with woman's ailments
does justice to herself if she does not try this fa
mous medicine made from roots and herbs, it
has restored somany suffering women to health.
