FAIR APPROPRIATION. A DECISION TO THE EFFECT THAT It SHOULD NOT BE .REFERRED TO PEOPLE. been led to believe; hence it , is in violatirn of that integrity which actuates governors to veto other bills of like character, : That if submitted to the people they would have more to say about the location of the exposition. That the location is in a low, un healthful place below Portland; that according to the provision of the act,' the $50,000 memorial building is to be located perman en ly at that place. That it would be better for the people had they more to say in the matter. They would at once divest the movement of its real estate and stock-jobbing features, and give it that character, confidence and dignity becoming the state management of an insti tution that directly concerns the whole people. At the close ot the discussion, three judges, Professor Hayward, T. T. Vincent and E. R. Bryson, rendered the decision that house bill number one appropriating $500,000 to the Lewis and Clark exposition should not be referred to a vote of the people.. Hence this settles the question for the present in OAC circles. AT PHILOMATH. ALL THE TEA.CHERS IH BE5T TON ASSEMBLED THERE.

From start to fini-ih the Jef-er soman society, represented by Guy Moore. A, S. Hall and Claud Bu chanan ardently - proclaimed that their banner was firmly planted not in the vain hope of gaining dollars and cents, but in the eter nal principles which underlie our social fabric. They hit the op position eome hard blows, and they waxed eloquent in eulogizing the Lewis and Clark exposition, more if possible than had yet been done. This was a flank movement which for the first time- gave "the Zeta gatheans notice of the exact po eitioa taken by the Jeffersonians, Then a sigh of relief -was per ceptibly heard through the , large audience which had been confident ly awaiting a telling stroke, against Portland's great exposition. The speakers warmed up to the subject as they pictured the im- nnrtance of the exposition, em phasizing with ' noticeable effect thet the people demand the ex position. - ; They declared in fervid . tones that house bill number one carried too much luggage with it, that it was passed too hastily, that leg islators voted for so many things they did not want in order to carry this bill, and that there appeared to be an odor of political rotteness in the entire proceeding which would naturally be removed by a direct vote of the people. That it is a matter of principle not a matter of dollars and cents hence refdrring it to the people wonld make our state and our in stitutions more democratic. , That if the people vote it down. it is their bnsiness: if they vote for it. their support will be better, That such a vote " would curtail legislative extravagencv in other sessions of the legislature 'to fol low' hence would be a benefit to the people.

The eiant who-e name is Feodor Machow, ha b en exhibited by the Aothro- ulogical Sojity, of Berlin, where be has undergone a rigid examina- lon and careful measurements, which have resulted in establishing the truth of his claim of being tae largest human being on the face of the g'ob?. Pi ofe;sor Felix von Luecan the. fomius anthro3)lozical t-tudent who conducted the examination, submitted the fullowing written tiUm'int to the heod of the insti tution. '.'I have carefully ex imined and measured from an anthropological standpoint Feodor Macbow of Kusi- jaky, Russia, who is now about 22 years of age. He is 7 feet 9 inches in height and can therefore be clas sed with the largest giants that have ever lived. He exceeds in height all the known living giants by at least a head, and be is in many respects of great scientific interest." . As a matter of fact, all the giants who have been exhibited in Eu rope up to the present time were from 4.7 to 5.9 inches shorter than Machow, Their height was between 6 feet lo inches and 7 feet 5 inches according to documents placed with the anthropological Society by the lafe Profess ir Virchow. The show- men,however, always exggerated. the height in advertisements. v Feodor Machow comes from an old Russian family, whose ances tors are said to have emigrated from the south, probably from Syria. His parents as well as his two brothers and one Bister, are all of normal eize. His grandfather was large, but in no sense a giant. It is said, however, that in earlier generations of the family large specimens o?curred. Viewing this easv from the : standpoint of the theory - that men tal and physical traits are inherited, it would seem that the theory is strengthened to a certain' extent, especially in regard to stature. The boots worn by Machow, which scarcely reach to his knees, reach an ordinary person almost up to the waist, and a 12-year-old boy could easily find room inside one of them. The ring which ad orns the index finger of Machow's right hand is so large that a ' half dollar can easily be passed through- it. A steel spring mattress of extra size and strength had to be made for him and placed on & strong iron frame. "This promising youth eats at each meal at leaBt thtee pounds of meat and a proportinate quanti ty of potatoes vegetables and bread with a relishing appetite. It is at the cost of much trouble and still greater expense that the society entertains him. It is the Annul dunty Institute State Superintendent Ack-. erman and Other Eminent Educators fiotn Abroad in Attend ance. The annual teachers' institute ot Benton c Tinty began its session Monday at Philomatti. The en rollment is the largest of any in stitute of like character held in the county for a number of years. Superintendent Ackermau. Pres ident B. F. Mulkey of Ashland State Normal, and Prof Henry D, Sheldon of the State University, are the instructors. ' Prof. F. S. Haroun has charge of the singing and Prof. G. A. Pet erson is acting secretary Monday s work consisted of lect ures and practical talks on the fol lowing subjects; Psychology and the Practical Teacher," "Teachers' Reading," "Geography" by Prof. Sheldon; Arithmetic and History by Prof. Mulkey. Superintendent Ackerman took up the subject of the daily program. He discussed it at considerable length showing what might be done. In the evening the chapel at Philomath was taxed to its utmost to accommodate the large number desiring to attend The ' musical programme was furnished by talent from Corvallis and Philomath Those taking part were, Misses Mabel Cronise and Edith Gioson; Mordaunt Goodno ugh, Otto F. L Herse and Miss B. Cofelt. The piano solos by Miss Gibson and Mr. Goodnough were well executed The vocal solos by Miss Cronise and Mr. Herse were rendered with good voice and expression. Miss Cofelt played very sweetly a mandolin-guitar solo, Mr. Weed, mayor of Philomath, delivered an address of welcome, which was responded to by T. T, Vincent. , Prof Mulkey delivered an able arid instrnctive add ress on, ''Sci ences of the Ancients." It was in tensely interesting. He revealed in a thrilling way, the wonderful sciences of the Greeks, Romans and other nations of antiquity, which are now seemingly lost to the world. Prof. Mulkey retained his reputation as one of the most force ful and effective speakers of the state. b ot Sale. A well bred driving mre, harness and buggy, Will sell all or any.
