Very Hmall Cutics May Itealt In In couvenleuco to the Owner. Watches often sutler from elmugcs of temperature. After u watch hus beeu woru next to a warm body all day It should uot be left over night on cold marble or near an open wludow. Tho cold Is likely to contract the inotal piv ots, and, however slightly, tighten up the works. The next morning, for no nppurent reason, one's wutch will be found to bo losing time. It frequently happens that watches are slightly magnetized by static elec tricity given off by tho human body. It has been found that dark people are more likely to exert this lutlucnce over their watches. This influence Is, be sides, more common among women than with men, Persons of this sort can never hope to carry tho correct time unless they carry their watches In rub ber or steel cases. Never lay your watch down for the night In a horizontal position. It should always be hung vertically, as It Is car ried during the day. If the pivot of the balanco wheel bo In the least worn this cbango of position tends to loosen the "cap Jewel." Everyouo has had a watch suddenly stop for no apparent reason and go on aguln when slightly shaken. This may not happen once a year, but all watches are liable to such an accident. TIiIb is due usually to tho catching of tho deli cate hair spring. It Is caused by some sudden movement such as Jumping on or off a car. The Jolt must come at the exact fraction of a second when the spring Is In position to catch, so that the chances of such an accident are rare. A watch should be oiled every eighteen months. The oil dries up In this time as a rule and If the mechan ism be run with the oil dry It quickly ! wears out. In examining a watch all Jewelers follow the same plan. They first look to see If the bands are caught. If tho fault lies deeper they next take out the balauce wheel and examine the pin and pivots. Next they let down the main spring and examine the wheels. It some- times happens that a Jeweler will not find the cause of the trouble for days. The most difficult disorder to locate Is a slight burr on one of , the wheels. Many Jewelers have collected fees for repairing watches when the watches refuse to go merely because they have run down. Women are said to be the best customers of the watth doctor, mince they seldom wind their watches regularly. A watch should be wound early In tbo day, and not, as Is the com mon practice, at bedtime. The reason for this Is that the spring Is then tight est during the day while the watch Is being carried and Is less sensitive. NEIGHBORHOOD Noighobrhood means values in residenco property, In this part of Portland are tho homes of somo of tho best known nnd most highly respected pcoplo of tho state. Tho proporty is nil high, sightly, nnd entirley frco from con- tamination of any nature. It is one of tho most lienlthy locutions in Oro- gon.

It camo natural to him to doubla up a poker as a meansof demonstrate his muscular power. On ono occasion, by means of a patent arrangement, ho raised nearly shoulder high at the same moment over twentv innmhnra nf Ills family, Including, we believe, th Princess of Wales herself. i Prince Georgo of Greoco Is no moan successor to tho Russian Emperor. He, too, has mado good use of his streugtu on mora occasions than one. It Is hti passion to visit exhibitions of strength and wrestling matches Incognito, and thero take part with less aristocratic pugilists and men of musclo In thi various encounters. On ono occasion he was attacked lu n low district of Athens by a party of flerco roughs who ' meant his death.

What a career this old ship hud been through! She bad breasted tho waves of many seas and withstood tho storms lu many waters for nearly three centuries, when she wns burned to the wnter's edge lu Santiago harbor a few years ngo nnd suuk where her remains now lie cov ered with barnacles, an emblem of the nation whose flag she once so proudly bore. During the Inst years of her career afloat sho was used ns a transport for troops from Europe and as a Spanish guard ship In these seas by the local government. She can only be seen nt low water. Only the ribs and stanch Ions nro held together by the stout keel and timbers and lower sheathing. An Old Anchor, Not long ago the crew of an English trawler engaged In lobster-fishing, near Klnsale, had great difficulty In getting their anchor aboard. It was firmly fixed In some massive, hard substanco ln the sand-bank. When at last tbey succeeded In bringing It to the surface there was at tached to It a very ancient anchor five tons in weight, tho shank being over ten feet long and the bend of equal pro portions. Fastened to the anchor was a small cannon The anchor, which probably belonged ' to one of the ships of the Spanish Ar mada, wrecked on this coast, had be come covered with marine matter, and this, In the three centuries during which U had been Imbedded In tho sand, had been converted Into a rocky fossil substance. nnysonn.

In periods of sixty minutes rain has fallen nt these three stations at tho rnto of over two Inches per hour, at Gnlvestou nt the rato of two nnd one-half Inches. Ono Inch of rainfall Is equivalent to 27,154 gallons, or --, 000 pounds on each and every acre of wetted area. Rainfall nt the rnto of nlno Inches per hour represents r. full of :i:i,l00 pounds, or -1.07i gallons per minute per acre.
