Fire under water may be produced
by placing some small pieces of phos

and then covering them with the crys

glass with water and then add a few
drops of sulphuric acid, the acid to be
applied directly to the phosphorus and
potash crystals by means of a long
tube. 1 the experiment is properly
carried ont tongues of bright red flame

ONLY HEN 'FLUKE' AT
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu
gene,, Feb. 19. (Special.) Fifteen
students at the University" of Oregon
did not pass in nine hours of their
work, and according to the faculty rul
ing can not re-enter ' the University
during the next semester. Of the fif
teen who "flunked," all were men.
Besides those who must leave col
lege, there was a good per cent of the
students who did not pass in fifteen
hours of work, and will be forced
either to attend a session of summer
school, or not be graduated with their
class. One hundred and twenty cred
its are required for graduation at Ore
gon. This means that a student must
earn an average of fifteen credits each
semester. As sixteen hours of work
is all that the average, student is ol
lowed to carry at one time, a "flunk"
in one five-hour subject during a four
year course will prevent graduation.

Walter Arndt who poses as a 140
pound wrestler entered the ring weigh
ing about 160. Feeling somewhat
"Chesty" on account of the easy and
lighter man he was against he passed
out remarks on wrestlers in general
and Smith of Oregon City in parti
cular. "When Ralph Shepherd, manager for
the local boy, Challenged Arndt best
two falls out of three, meeting to take
place in thirty days at 140 pounds
ringside weight, for a side bet of $50
to $150, Arndt's sail collapsed. Shep
herd was willing to post $75 to bind
the match. -
Arndt undoubtedly remembered the
way Smith handled him in a match in
Oregon City. The local boy was all
over the former Columbia club instruc
tor until he was forced to retire from
an accidental injury.
Several local fans were present at
the matches Friday night and ex
pressed approval . of all the bouts.
MARKET STRONG WITH
DEARTH OF CATTLE
The Portland Union Stock Yards
Company reports as follows:
Receipts for the week were cattle
1233; calves 12; hogs 2165; sheep
5213.
The" steer market was stronger to
25c higher for the ' week with an ac
tive snappy demand. - A number of
occasional buyers were disappointed
in not securing anything like the num
ber of cattle they wanted even at the
advanced prices. There was a snappy
tone to the market throughout' the
week which extended to all offerings.
Cows and heifers sold at high prices.
The hog market did not show an
advance in prices but there was a
more eager demand which found some
satisfaction in the increased offerings.
In the face of the cost of the droves
of hogs at other markets local buyers
were not in position to advance prices
but the receipts were immediately
taken at an average cost of about 75c
per 100 higher than Missouri river
prices.
The sheep market showed unex
pected strength. Wool lambs sold at
$5.75, while sheared lambs brought
$5.
