Chapman s "Oregon Voter" Makes
Some Remarks on Usual Plan
In C. C. Chapman's "Oregon Voter'
for July 24 are some interesting re
marks about the scheme usually fol
lowed hereabouts in building the
things they call roads. Mr. Chap
man ought to knqw what he is talk
ing about, for he has been, perforce,
a close observer of road-building in
Oregon for some time. He says:
"In many road districts work is
done honestly.

Here is the method:
"The district holds its meeting
and levies the tax sometimes as

WEED CROP LARGE
Wet Summer, With Sunny Days at
Intervals, Fine for Farm Pests
Probably never before have Clack
amas county farmers raised so many
weeds as they have this year. Of
course the farmers have not tried to
raise weeds the exceptional weather
has looked after that. And the re
sult has been that weeds from "hang
high" to over seven feet grace manv
of the farms that heretofore have
been devoid of such annoyances
Much time and energy has been put
in by larmers in rooting out these
pests, hut in spite of all that is done
the weeds seem to find the soil and
climate to their liking,
reeling that some of the weeds
may be poisonous to stock, Louis
I'unk, of Fischer's Mill, has suggest
ed that it would be a helpful thing
ir some ot the "boosting'' organiza
tions of the county would make a
collection of weeds and exhibit them,
duly labelled as to their poisonous
attributes or otherwise.
Mr. Funk believes that such an ex
hibit would be of material advantage
to farmers, as many ranchers are not
familiar with the growths that are
detrimental to stock. The majority
of the weds prevalent, however, are
not poisonous; but are merely a nuisance.

ROAD IS CLOSED
Not Remarkable
Dr. Leonard P. Ayres has been
tabulating the ability to spell among
American Bchool children, and has
discovered that seven percent of the
third grade "scholars" in the public
schools cannot spell correctly "has."
Judging from examples of school
work seen hereabouts this is not re
markable. Children can bleat about
psychology but they cannot spell the
words they use to demonstrate their
vast "modern training.''
Route from Milwaukie to Sellwond to
he Patched Up Again
In an effort to make the "improv
ed" road from Milwaukie to Sellwood
passable to traffic, the county has
ordered this highway closed for two
weeks while repairs are made. The
mountain ranges will be removed
from the present road, the surface of
the highway brought to grade, and a
coating of nsphaltum put on. It is
hoped that this will make the road
suitable for traffic.
While the road is closed teams and
automobiles between points on the
east side of the river and Portland
will have to go round by way of Ar-
denwald and Willsburg, or else in
over the Grays Crossing route. The
Milwaukie cut-off road was "improv
ed'' last spring at a cost of over
$10,000.

In the Bird It Is Very Massive and
Developed Like the Keel of a Yacht,
and Therein Lies the Secret of Its
Enormous Wing Power.
Man has alwuys longed to fly like a
bird, and all the ancient attempts at
flight were based upon the flapping of
wings attached to human arms.
These efforts were given up long agw
when It was realized that 'man was
not and could not be strong enough to
sustain himself in the air by the use of
bis arms. A man can only just lift
himself with his arms' chinning the
bar, for example but he finds himself
pretty heavy after he has dt.no it a
few times.
The reason why no man will ever be
able to fly with self moved wings Is
that his breastbone Is not big enough.
A bird's breastbone has tilong its mid.
die a deep keel, from' which spring the
enormous muscles that draw down the
wings when flapping or hold them level
when soaring, the muscles. In other
words, that support the entire weight
of the bird.
The most powerful fliers have the
deepest breastbones. Look at the skel
eton of an albatross, a condor or a
humming bird In a museum and you
will notice that the keel of its breast
bone projects like the keel of a racing
yacht
You can see this keel, only much
smaller in proportion to the size of the
bird, on the carcass of any chicken or
turkey after the meat has been re
moved, and the tender white flesh from
the breast Is nothing but the muscles
with which the bird flew when alive.
You notice that even on a chicken,
which is one of the weakest of fliers,
this flesh forms the greater part of the
body. On a humming bird there is lit
tie else but this mass of flying muscla
In other words, the hummiLg bird la
nothing but a tiny flying machine.
An albatross has a vast spread of
wings, and its small body is little else
but a pair of powerful pectoral mus
cles. These ore attached by tendons
to the bone called tho humerus, which
Is the counterpart of the upper arm
bone of a man. They spread out like a
solid fan and are fastened to the
breastbone with Its 'deep keel, to the
clavicles, or "wishbone," and to the
ribs,
A man's breastbone lias no keel. His
humerus, or upper arm bone. Is hinged
to the clavicle, or collarbone, and
shoulder blade. His pectoral muscles,
which move the arm forward, and del
told muscles, which lift it, are attach
ed to it by strong tendons and spread
fanlike over his tipper chest, being in
sorted in the ribs and collarbone.
These are the muscles that do the
same work for man as the pectoral
muscles do for a bird. These are th
muscles on which he would have to
rely if lie were to fasten wings to his
arms and try to fly.
Compare these muscles with those of
an albatross and you will see bow In
adequate they are. Though an alba
tross weighs only a few pounds, It has
pectoral muscles that are actually lar
ger than those of the most powerful
athlete.
In order to have muscles powerful
enough to lift his weight in the air by
Happing wings a man's breastbone
would have to develop a keel like a
bird's and his collar bone would have
to be changed to a giant "wishbone."
Some writer on aviation has calcu
lated that this keel and "wishbone1
would have to project at least six feet
In order to furnish attachment for the
necessary muscles, for man in propor
tion to his size is far heavier" than an
albntross. This bird has small and
very light legs, whereas man's legs are
solid and heavy. The albatross' long
wing bones are hollow tubes.
This makes it plain why experiment
ers In flying long ago gave up the idea
of self moved wings and flight like
that of a bird. San Francisco Chroni

METHOD. -Method
is the very hinge of
business, and there is no method
without punctuality. Punctuality
is important because it subserves
the peace and good temper of a
family. Calmness of mind, which
it produces, is another advantage
of punctuality. A disorderly man
is always in a hurry. He has no
lime to speak to you because he is
going elsewhere, and when he gets
there he is too late for his business
or he must hurry away before he
