quartette composed of Mrs. C. F.
Romig, Mrs. F. B. Shoenborn, Mrs.
W. C. Green and Miss Mattie Junke
wlli sing; Mrs. Walter Bennet will

A debate between Mrs. F. J. Tooze,
affirmative, and Mrs. J. R. Landsbor
ough, negative, promises to be inter
esting as both are well versed in the
subject, "Resolved, the Modern Way
of Caring for Babies Is Better than
the Old."
Woodward Fitted for Job
R. E. Woodward, who is a candi
date for the republican nomination
for county assessor, promises to give
the people, if elected, a fair and
square deal on valuations and assess
ments. Mr. Woodward has for many
years been engaged in the real es
tate business, and believes that his
familiarity with land values and con
, ditions in Clackamas county give him
most excellent qualification for the
office of assessor. He knows every
section of the county and is well ac
quainted.with the value which owners
place upon their land when they buy
or sell; and so thinks that he would
be able to place a valuation on land
that would be both fair to the public
and to the owners of property. Mr.
Woodward seeks the office simply be
cause he desires to be of public ser
vice, and has no axes to grind. (Adv.)

GILL NETTING BANNED
River Closed to Commercial Fisher
men from Now to May 1
This is the time of the year when
the gill netters are busy on the banks
of the river and on their floats, fixing
uft their nets for the May fishing. The
season for net fishing closed Wednes
day noon of this week, and there will
be no more of it till May 1, by which
time the spring run of salmon will be
in the river, and record catches will
be made.
Just before the season closed Nick
Storey got a 35-pound fish in the Wil
lamette and the day before Henry
Hinder got a 40-pounder.
Gill net fishing may soon be the
only kind, aside from rod and reel
work, that will be permitted in the
Columbia and its tributaries; for the
Clackamas County Fishermen's Union
is circulating a petition to forbid the
use of seines, traps and fish wheels
in these waters. If the initiative
bill should pass, all salmon in the fu
ture will have to be caught with gill
nets..
Popular Parsley Patch
Parsley is one of the most popular
garnishing herbs for salad and for
flavoring. It is often used for edg
ing flower beds because of its attrac
tive dark green foliage. One advan
tage is that it may be kept in con
tinuous growth, either under glass
or in the open ground. As the seeds
are small and germinate slowly, I
prefer to soak them for 24 hours in
tepid water previous to planting.
Then I spread them upon a blotter
to absorb the superfious water. A lit
tle dry sand is added so that the
whole can be easily handled. I do
not consider parsley a profitable crop
in a hotbed, writes S. H. Garekol in
Northwest Farmstead.
I prefer to grow parsley out of
doors, sowing the seed in rows 12
inches apart as soon as the ground
can be worked. The plants are thin
ned later from 8 to 6 inchos apart,
As it requires at least throe months
to produce good foliage for gathering,
I make a few' successions! sowings

These enchanted chambers are the
creation of the United Btates bureau
of standards.
nere can be seen Instruments of
such delicacy and precision that the
ailnd at first fails to grasp the full sig
nificance of what tbey can accomplish.
In one room Is a balance so sensi
tive that the mere presence of the op
erator's body generates an amount of
heat sufficient to disturb Its accuracy.
In another there Is one ho delicately
adjusted that It shows the loss of
weight due to the reduction of tho
earth's attraction when two pieces of
metal are weighed one upon another
Instead of side by side.
Remarkable beyond tbe Imagination
are the beat measuring instruments
which register Infinitesimal fluctua

may bavo started ten years ago from
somo distant star and may hove spent
nil of those ten years hurtling earth
ward bound through space at a gait
so astounding that it could girdle tbe
globe In far less time than It takes to
blink tbe eye. Yet when It falls upon
the sensitive bolometers at the bureau
of standards they will tell the ob
server how much heat that ray brought
with It from the star to the earth.
Such ore a few of the most dellooto
Instruments. But there are others
which are as powerful as they are sen
sitive. In the engineering laboratory there
Is a huge testing machine which can
tear apart the strongest steel girders
used In building great skyscrapers,
while on the floor above are little elec
trical furnaces capable of generating
a heat intense enough to melt the most
refractory materials. The bureau can
measure accurately cold great enough
to liquefy the very nlr we breathe and

HE COULD PLAY CHESS.
And He Proved That Fact In a Most
Emphatio Manner.
In Austria-Hungary some years ago
there was a marvelous chess player,
whose name and residence were un
known, but who every now and then
displayed bis remarkable skill in the
game. The last story of him was told
by James II. .Hyatt of Philadelphia,
who had then Just returned from
Budapest
"I was playing chess with a friend
in a cafe," said Mr, Hyatt, "aud plain
ly saw my defeat, when a little bit of
a shriveled Pole with a tray of cheap
Jewelry stood in front of us aud offer
ed bis wares In most persuasive tones.
" 'Go away,' I said.
" 'You can beat hluV answered the
peddler, whose attention was on tbe
game.
"'What do you know about It?' I
asked.
"'May I tell him?' be Inquired, look
ing at my opponent
" "Certainly. Crack away,' came the
reply lu a tone of assurance.
" Take his knight.said my self ap
pointed instructor. 1 did so to humor
him, though I lost my queen by the
operation. But, much to my surprise.
I found that tbe very next move gnve
mo tbe game.
"'Let me play with you?' asked tbe
peddler. 'I mate you in the moves you
say and where you suy.'
" 'If you do I will give you 10 florins,'
I answered. 'Take the white men.
Mate me ou uiy queen's fourth square
In twenty-two moves If you cnn.'
"We started In, my friend keeping
account of the moves, aud moved rap
idly. After about a dozen moves I bad
tbe advantage of a bishop and a pawn
and was assured I would defeat my
aggressive little opponent When he
let a castle go by an apparently care
less play I was sure of victory. Then
came a sudden change In the situation,
and I had to move my king out of
check. I was on the defensive and In
rapid retreat
" 'Twenty-one moves,' said my friend
as the little peddler put me again In

CHANGED IRON TO COPPER.
Curiou Transformation Wrought by
Nature' Alchemy.
Not so very long ago a curious And
was made In one of the copper mines
at El Cobre, Cuba. These mines,
once among the richest In the world,
were abandoned for a loug time on ae.
count of the Insurrections In Cuba
against the Spanish rule. In 1808 the
coal supply was cut off by the insur
gents, and consequently pumping be
came Impossible, and tbo mines be
came filled with water.
After tbe Spanish wiir an Americar
company bought the mlues and pro
ceeded to pump out the water. In one
of the shafts thus made accessible
was found what once represented au
Iron pickax as well as some crowbars.
The metal In these Implements had, It
Is said, turned to copper. Extraordi
nary ns this may appear, it can be
scientifically explained.
The water, filtering through tbe rock
and the copper ore veins dissolved
some of the copper, the solution con
taining sulphate of copper. As soon
as the sulphuric ncld in this solution
touched the Iron it at once dissolved
that metal and deposited copper In Its
place, for sulphuric acid has a greater
affinity for iron than for copper. In
the process certain impurities which
had existed in the Iron were left be
hind undisturbed. Tbe wooden handle
of the ax was In good condition. Tbo
metal was porous and irregular in
shape, but lu the general outline pre
served the form of the ax, somewhat

BULLETS IN FLIGHT
Even the Best Aimed Ones-Never
Follow Their Noses.
STRIKE A WEE BIT SIDEWAYS.
The Projectile Travels on a Curve, of
Course, and It Keeps Its Axis Always
In the Direction the Axis Had When
the Ball Left the Gun. .
It is a well known fact that a bullet
never goes straight to a mark, but flies
In a curve on the order of the parabola.
But most people think that the bullet
itself follows its nose and that at first
(when tbe nose Is pointed up) the bul
let follows it and that when tho bullet
Is coming down on the other leg of the
curve the nose is pointed down.
This is a mistake, for the nose of a
bullet always maintains Us own direc
tion, no mutter what the bullet as a
whole tries to do. That is, If a gun be
pointed slightly up, the bullet, when it
strikes the target, will not enter it per
pendicularly by the nose, and the hole
made will be larger than tbe bullet is
round, for the bullet of necessity must
hit In a certain degree flatwise. Of
course the reason the bullet does this
is because it has a very rapid rotation
given it by the rifles in tbe barrel,
which keeps it also from turning over
and over lu tbe air.
Another thing that will seem peculiar
to most people Is the action of gravity
on a bullet If a gun be fired exactly
horizontally the bullet will hav to be
pulled down by gravity exactly sixteen
feet during the first second. So If there
were no sights on a gun and it was
leveled by means of a hand level and
fired the bullet would hit something
exactly sixteen feet below the gun at a
distance away-equal to the velocity of
the bullet per second.
No mutter what the bullet's velocity,
gravity will pull it down sixteen feet
during the first second, or if the bullet
be fired upward gravity will take from
its upward velocity thirty-two feet dur
ing the first second. .
. The bullet itself keeps Its axis al
ways In the direction tbe axis bad
when the bullet Issued from the gun.
This is the well known gyroscopic prin
ciple made use of In the gyroscopic
compass and the monorail car that a
rotating body will maintain Its axis of
rotation In the same direction unless a
moment of force be applied to it.
But what actually happens with the
modern high powered rifle? Does it
shoot a bullet that goes in sideways?
To a slight extent it may be. stated
that the modern army bullet does do
that very thing. Its velocity, however,
is so enormous that the gun barrel does
not have to be" elevated through so
large nn angle, and consequently the
bullet enters fairly on its nose, though
not squarely so, at all ordinary ranges.
The same may be said of the bigger
guns. Tbey have rifling in them and
so give rotation aud gyroscopic action,
to the projectiles. But a mortar does
not. A mortar shoots something al
most straight up In tbe nir and lets it
fall down. As tbe mortar is too short
barreled to be rifled tbe top of the pro
jectile would hit n target a long dis
tance away, but for a shot almost
straight up In the nlr to fall right down
of course the bottom of tbe projectile
would strike first The mortar projec
tiles are generally round, so that it will
not mutter how they strike.
Tbe reason a bullet cannot be made
so that It will always enter a target
squarely ou Its nose Is that for every
range a differently shaped bullet would
have to be manufactured; also the bul
let should be symmetrical, so that tbe
nlr will exert no disturbing Influence
on Its distorted parts.
A bullet has a dlstiuct curve like that
of a baseball, due to Its rotation, and
this curve is Independent of the parab
ola given by gravity. The smoother'
and more polished a bullet Is the less
Is this curve. But the action of the
rifling hi a gun barrel puts little
grooves In tbe bullet ns It goes through
the barrel. These catch tbe air as the
bullet rotates and causes the curve
spoken of.
If the bullet be rotated iu the direc
tion of the hunda of a clock tbe curve
will make the bullet go to the left of
the exact point aimed at. The effect Is
so small, however, that It does not
have to be taken into account in tbe
manufacture of rifles and ammunition.

MIMICKED HIS BOSS. -
When Nat Goodwin First Gave art Imi
tation of Stuart Robson.
Nat Goodwin bnd just finished his
monologue at the Palace one ulght
when William Bark us. a veteran actor
and lifelong friend of the comedian,
said: s '
"Nat, I remember the first night you
went on the stage at the Howard Ath
enaeum and played Ned tbe Newsboy
in Stuart Bousou's production of 'Law
In New York.' You gave Imitations
then, and I never beard lftor oues
before or since.','
"Well," replied Goodwin modestly,
"they told me that my stunt went re
markably well that night. If you re
member, after 1 bad-responded to sev
eral encores some of them in the gal
lery shouted, imitate Stuart liobsmi!'
I was afraid to imitate my manager,
so I shook my head. Still tbey shouted.
'Robson, Robson!' lie was standing in
the wings, und ns I came IT I said:
'What can I do. Mr: liobsou' They are
clamoring for me to give an Imitation
of youl' 'Do!' said he In that falsetto
voice so well known to theatergoers of
that period. 'Go back nud give the vil

"On the Impulse of the moment 1
went through an entire scene which
the audience had Just wituessed be
tween Robson and a favorite player
named Henry Bloodgood. As I as
sumed each voice, particularly Rob
son's, the applause was deafening, and
at the finish, after repeated culls, Rob
son was obliged to take me on und
make a speech, thanking the audience
in my behalf.
"After the play liobsou said to me:
'Young Goodwill, you have done two
things tonight that I shall never for

a very bad imitation of me. I could
have done It better myself.' "New

CARLYLE AND HIS WIFE.
A Glimpse of the III Assorted Couple
and Their Home Life.
It is certain that the. Curly les were
an 111 assorted couple. She considered
from the beglnnlug that to marry hhn
was nn act of condescension on her
part The daughter of a country doc
tor of Haddington had descended from
the skies, like Diana to Endymion, to
marry the son of a stonemason.
But he loved her and was happy in his
love.
Not so she. Jealous of blm as she
was furiously Jealous not as n lover,
for there she knew she was safe. But
she could not bear to think that If she
were famous It was as his wife, where
as she, knowing herself to be brilliant,
would falu have had him to be kuown
as the husband of that wonderful Mrs.
Carlyle. It was his success, social aud
literary, that she resented. It irked
her to be In the second place, nud. she
could not forgive it.
There was something else of which
the lady was jealous, and that was the
agony of concentration which her hus
band's work meant for him. At mo
ments her "saevn indignatio" against
"that Carlyle," us she would contemp
tuously call blm. passed nllliounds.
Oue day my aunt went to call upon
her and found her In one of her tan
trums. "What was the matter?" she
asked. "Oh, my deur.ylt's Just that
Carlyle! Would you believe It, I have
hod a headache for three dajs, and
he's only just found it out. i'm afraid

How She Won Sheridan.
Harriet Mellon, tbe old time English
actress, did not lack astuteness, even
at seventeen. Her admirable answer to
Sheridan when he asked her to read
tbe part of Lydla Languish in "The
Rivals." with a view to proving her fit
ness for Drury Lane, could not have
been bettered by u ripe diplomat:
"I dare not, sir, for my life. I would
rather read It to all England. Suppose,
sir, you did me the honor of rending it
to me?"
Delightedly Sheridan acceded and.
after reading nearly the whole of tho
piny, enrolled her In the Drury Lane
company.
The Latin Language.
Latin was one of the original lan
guages of Europe, nnd from It sprung
tbe Italian. French, Spanish and Por
tuguese languages. Many words of our
own language are of Latin origin. It
ceased to be spoken In Italy about 5S1
and was first-night In 'England by one
Adelmus In the seventh century The
use of Latin In law deeds In England
gave way to the common tongue in tlie
year 1000.
Real Bigness.
A Yankee clinched his argument with

WAR TALK HEARD IN OREGON
CITY
(Continued from Page 1)
the western shore and both also took
occasion to very frankly state the
situation of the local company,- and
the impending order of disbandment
which hangs over the organization.
Captain Blanchard of the company,
and Captain Harry -Williams of The
Fallsarians, also urged support. The
latter has also seen active service dur
ing 18 years of military affiliation,
and offered to assist in the reorgani
zation of the company in any way pos
sible. Kent Moody of the High school
also offered to get in line, speaking
for the High school lads but asked
that the Live Wires point out the way
by joining first. Others proposed
various plans in the round table dis
cussion which followed, but no public
enlistments followed.
At Live Wires luncheon Tuesday
the subject was again taken up.
There was an apparent willingness on
the part of local business men to as
sist the company financially and in
little time some $600.00 was subscrib
ed to maintain a club room and gym
nasium for the company ' and thus
make the guardsman's life more at
tractive than it has been in the past.
G. Leighton Kelly, formerly a fight
ing man in the military sense of the
word, demonstrated quite clearly there
was still considerable fight left in
him and made a strong appeal to the
available young men who belong to
the Wires to enlist. Again no public
enlistments followed.
Then up spake Al Price who point
"ed out the necessity for an armory
for Oregon City as the first move in
securing stronger military organiza
tion. Everyone wondered why he had
not thought of this same scheme of
Al's and when the meeting adjourned
at 1:25 it was quite the concensus of
opinion that one of the biggest pro
jects the Wires could tackle right now
