TUe pa ru I lux of t ?':'-r is It angular displacement as s;eu from two op posite points on the e.utb orbit The ba.se Hue employed in ibis "Je nnie spe cies of surveying is LMI.ixhj.DUO miles lu length, but the calculation Is re duced to the semldlameter of the orbit Tbo results are at the same tluie amaz ing and Instructive. Let UK take the famous xtiir Arc turus, often called the "star of Job" beta use In the Old Testament the Almighty la represented as saying to the unfortunate patrlan b, who main tains a certain dignity In spite of his helplessness and his sufferings, "Canst tboa call forth Areturus and his sons?" Many conflicting measures of the parallax of Areturus have been made, but the latest made at Yale seem more probably correct than their predeces sors. They fix the parallax at 0.006 seconds 1. e., sixty-six one-thousandth of a second of arc. From this It Is easy to calculate the distance of the star. It comes out at nearly 290,000, 000,000,000 miles (two hundred and ninety trillion miles). This is more than 3,000,000 times the distance of the earth from the sun. Ilavlng this distance, we can calcu late the actual amount of light shed by Areturus, or, In other words, its ac tual brightness as compared with that of our sun, on tbe supposition that both were at the'same distance from us. We thus find that Areturus ex ceeds the sun as a light giver about 2.500 times! It Is a sun 2,500 times brighter than ours. Put the earth as near to Areturus as It Is to. the sun and all life would disappear from Its surface as If swept off by a blast of Inconceivable heat The summer temperature would rise to tens of thousands of degrees. The oceans would boll away. Vegetation would be burned up In a twinkling. The eyes of living beings would char la their sockets. Tbe plains and mountains would burst Into flame. Minerals would run In molten streams. There would be no comfort for a Hy ing world nearer to Areturus than about 4.000,000.000 miles. If be has planets he must keep them at a re spectful distance. And yet nearly 300,0 X "00.000,000 miles from him we can look into his blazing eye and see only a bright star. Still, Dr. Alfred Russel Wallace maintains that this little earth, this tiny attendant .of a tiny sun. Is the only seat of Intelligent life outside of tho misty mldreglon of disembodied spirits that the universe contains, and Dr. Wallace Is a learned man. But his learning is not that which astron omy offers. Oarrett P. Serviss In New York American. Unavoidable Delay. A woraaj went before the magis trate and modestly Inquired: "Your honor, can I have a warrant for the arrest of my husband? He boxed my ears yesterday." "Certainly, ma'am," replied tbe Judge. "I will make out a warrant on the ground of assault and persouul In juries." "Can I fetch the warrant In about a mouth?" "In a month? Why won't you take It at once?" "Please, your honor, when my hus band slapped my face I took my roll ing pin and hit him on the head so that he had to be removed to the hos pital. The doctors say, however, that ho will be on his legs again In a month." Discrediting an Astrologer. A certain king, says a tale from the Persian, asked an astrologer, "How mnny years of life remain to me?" The wise man replied, "Ten." The king became very despondent and betook himself, as oue stricken with a sick ness, to his bed. His vizier, who pos sessed great wisdom, sent for the seer and in the king's presence asked him, "How many years have you to live?" He replied, "Twenty." The vizier or dered that he should that very hour be executed in the king's presence. Tbe king was satisfied and commeuded tbe sagacity of his minister and no longer attached any importance to the astrol oger's saying. Getting Into German. In tbe use of legal terms the Ger man lawyer's gain in a saving of number of words over our equivalent expressions seems to be lost in multi plication of syllables In the words used by hliu. For example, he says "Zu ruckbehaltungsrecht" for "right of lien" mid "gesammtgutsverbludllch kelten" for "liabilities of common prop erty." What an awful word he must have as an equivalent for our "impre scriptibility." Docket Rang In an Aotor. "IIow did you enjoy the vaudeville performance?" "It was good.

Burton. like t RULES AGAINST ACTIONOF COUNCIL After n effort to lutveHctloti t'iken on the imivnr'M veto mid ordiuiince to Hppi.ln t J inlj'e IVrby city attor ney expuijiieil fr.un the minutes Mon ilny nlk'ht, the council inet-tlnv; ctime to an ulirupt close. The action to have the record eliminated h taken up ly Councilman Urobilin ami supported ,y CoiiiicllniHii Wright. Mayor Hart wig; ruled Hgnliint the procedure, and a dixciiHslon ensued that lasted until Councilman Hall moved to udjourn. The reeord that Councilman Uro slus nought to have expugned is as follows: "Ordinance 271 and the mayor's veto message of same were read and the ordinance placed again on pas sage. Councilman BroxliiH spoke on the subject, taking up various points ou the veto ami giving his reasons for desiring the passage of the ordi nance, and stated that he wished to lie relieved from voting; on the pas sage of the ordinance except under protest. On roll call, Arnold absent. IlrosiuH, II ii i; trlns and Wright not voting ami Hall and Smith voting "No," the passage of the ordinance was declared lost." Mayor Hartwlg stated that if the record was not correct It should ! altered or amended to comply with the facts, but that It would be Illegal to exp'igne It from the minutes. As the minutes were admitted to be cor rect, and certified to ly the recorder, lie ruled the motion out of order, and also an appeal from his decision by Conncllmen I'.roslus and Wright. In making bis decision, the mayor stated that If the council wanted to take any further action In the mat ter, It had recourse to bringing !u a new ordinance, but a reconsideration of the uctlon on the old one by elimi nating the records was out of the question. Councilman Wright said that, due to the absence of one of the members of the council, the mayor has taken advantage of the wishes of the ma jority, whom he thought wanted to pass the ordinance. The mayor replied that there was a provision in the (.barter covering the absence of council members ami that It was up to the council to see whether they were In attendance. At the Instance of Councilman llroelus, the recorder was called upon to carefully tran scrllK4 his rulings for future action. At this stage of the proceedings Councilman Hall moved to adjourn, and the motion was carried. Competition of the various new districts and of the older settled parts of the Pacific Northwest for ettlers and l.md buyers will be keen from this on. according to report of W. H. Marshall, of the t'pper Hood Kiver Valley, who has spent the winter Investigating conditions ami making arrangements to attract more people to the up(T valley."
