CITY NEWS IN BRIEF

ALISK.Y'S WINTER GARDEN iThird and
Morrison streets) Concert nightly.
Vine Maple arbok. The most beauti
ful arbor imaginable, which Is complete
ly shaded ana still allows of a perfect
circulation o air through It, is to be
seen on the premises of Thomas Pap
worth, 73 Ella street. It Is tormed of a,
vino maple trained over the framework,
and is quite a different thing from an
arbor covered by grape, honeysuckle, ivy
or hop vines, for, while the leafy boughs
completely shut out the sun, they are not
matted like other vines, and a free cir
culation of air Is afforded. Every one
who has fished along1 Oregon streams
has made the acquaintance of the "vine
maple," so called from its winding, far
reaching boughs, and has felt anything
but admiration for the natural arbors it
weaves and through which it is often al
most impossible to crawl. Those who
havo had such acquaintance with the
vine maple can readily imagine how well
It is adapted to being trained over an
arbor. The "tree," if tree it may be
called. Is cut back every year the same
as a grape vine is or should be, and
early in the Spring it puts forth count
less shoots, which soon form a shady
bower of vivid green, the foliage chang
ing In October to all shades of red and
orange, and in November to brown. To
produce such an arbor and secure the
best results requires several years, but
such an arbor will last a lifetime and
be a thing of beauty and a Joy for all
that time.
How It Strikes an Easterner. "Call
this hot," said a New Yorker at one of
the hotels yesterday, 'why, back East
this would pass as one of our coolest
days regular Newport weather. Portland
Is a Summer resort that can give most
Eastern watering places 10 degrees at the
start and skin them to death at the
iinlsh. What a man wants to do in this
kind of weather is to go out to the park
off up on Portland Heights, sit under a
tree looking at Mount Hood, and just
revel In the beauty of Nature. Why,
that view is worth traveling miles to
see, and you Portlanders ought not to
let a day pass without drinking in some
of the grandeur of those snowy white
peaks. It makes me cool to look at 'em.
And your air I breathe It down In big
gulps, and the supply is still Inexhausti
ble. If we had this air in New York,
we'd form an air trust and peddle it out
to the poor, over-heated New Yorkers -t
1 penny a breath. And your Bull Run
waterl Cool and sweet as the spring
under the willows on the old Maine farm
on which I was born. Portland unques
tionably has the greatest water system
I have ever seen. Most of the people
nre at the coast? Well, they like rest
ana recreation. I suppose. As for mo.
I like comfort and luxuries. No sand
In my biscuits, thank you." And he
promenaded leisurely off to a car line
for an excursion to the Heights.
Beach Hush Still. On. The Saturday
and Sunday rush to the coast took away
excursionists by the hundred from Port
land. All of the steamboat lines car
ried down full loads of passengers, and
the traffic on the railroad was heavy,
taking up ail the available accommoda
tions. Sunday excursions are becoming
popular among the business men, and
many now leave regularly every Satur
day afternoon, returning Sunday evening
or Monday morning. Particularly no
ticeable in the excursions leaving the
last two days was this sprinkling of bus
iness and professional men, leaving to
join families at beach points and to
revel and draw in fresh inspiration for
the week's work from the cool, salt air.
Every one looked happy, and almost
every one was loaded down with pack
agesdainties for the children, luxuries
not to be obtained at beach markets,
the jacket that Willio forgot, or the
yard of ribbon that the materfamlllas
sent home to be matched. Magazines,
Illustrated papers and a deluge of Sum
mer novels went down yesterday to help
the beach-combers while away a pleasant
hour. Those returning, sun-burned and
refreshed, all tell tales of breakers
breasted, miles of beach tramped and a
cool day's outing.
Death to armt Worms. A telegram
of vital Importance to farmers and veg
etable growers was received from Seattle
late last night, but fortunately in time
for today's issue of The Oregonian. It
relates to the destructive army worm
now devastating the Northwest, and
states that this serious pest is abso
lutely annihilated by a solution of one
gallon of Avenarius Carbolineum to a bar
rel of water used as a spray. The com
pound has proved fully effective wher
ever used, while Paris green has scored,
m failure. Puget Sound farmers are
Jubilant, and are hastening to secure
Avenarius Carbolineum while there is still
time to save their crops from destruc
tion. This preparation is a celebrated
wood preservative, and also known to be
an insecticide, but its special value
against the army worm was only dis
covered by fortunate experimenting. Ore
gon farmers should use it at once. Fisher,
Thorsen & Co., of this city, are Pacific
Coast agents for Avenarius Carbolineum.
Evert One Kept Cool. The streets
of Portland presented a deserted appear
ance yesterday. Everybody who could get
away had gone to the coast to spend
Sunday, and a majority of the remainder
had gone picnicking. Cars for all the
suburbs were crowded in the morning
and evening by men, women and chil
dren bound for some shady nook by some
purling spring or babbling brook, and
doubtless many passed an enjoyable day.
Those who stayed at home got along
very well, for although the day was
warm a fine fresh breeze blew all day
long, which made things very comforta
ble in town, and the stay-at-homes were
not so tired when evening came as those
who had been abroad. A shady veranda,
a pitcher of cool lemonade, a paper and
perhaps a cigar or two can help to make
life very comfortable In even what is con
sidered a hot day In Portland.
Quiet at the Armory. Company drills
In tho Armory have not been entirely sus
pended for the Summer. Company C still
drills weekly, and one or two others Um
ber up occasionally. Colonel Everett
gave all the Captains permission to sus
pend drills entirely until work com
mences in earnest next September. In
Issuing the order, he left the matter dis
cretionary with the Captains. If any of
them desired to continue drills in any
particular line, the Colonel had no ob
jection to their doing so. With these rare
exceptions, the Armory Is very quiet, and
Arm6rer McCormack Is generally mon
arch of all he surveys. Colonel Everett
has headquarters meeting on the usual
Thursday evenings, and General Beebe
still meets with the brigade staff. Much
of the work being done by both regi
mental and brigade headquarters is In
cidental to closing up the encampment.
Enjotino Free Music Portland people
Who like music congregate in considerable
numbers In front of the postoffice on
Sunday evenings to take advantage of
the sweet strains sent forth by the band
which plays regularly In the big court
of tho Hotel Portland. Tho family ele
ment Is largely represented in the gath
erings, and all the available space on
Sixth street Is taken up by women and
children. In their neat Summer suits. In
the old military countries of Europe a
regimental band or two Is located in all
tho large towns, and the musicians play
on fine evenings in the public parks. In
America, where no standing army is
kept, the regimental band Is yet a com
parative stranger, but the people love
music all the same.
Bird-Lovers to Meet. A meeting of
the John Burroughs Society will be held
this evening at 8 o'clock in tho parlors
of the Unitarian Church. Members and
all lovers of birds are urged to be
present.

Socialist -Labor Party Meeting Tho
Portland section of the Socialist Labor
party met at their hall, corner "Second
arid' Salmon streets, and held an erithusl-'
astic and well-attended meeting, pre
sided over by Frank M. Thompson. Sev
eral new applicants for membership ware
received and elected into the organiza
tion. The date of the next meeting was
set for Sunday, August 12. The work uf
the party is progressing favorably, and
all the adherents are working harmon
iously. Sailors wanted at Sailors Home, Sec
ond and Gllsan, to ship for Europe on
either German or English ship; $40 per
month, one month's advance. .
CUTWORMS IN COWLITZ.
Getting: In Deadly "Work Across the
Columbia.
Samuel "Laushlin. a Cowlitz, Washj,
farmer,, who came to town yesterday,
thinks the cutworms will destroy a great
deal of garden truck and alfalfa in hts
locality, before they get through. In
many places they have eaten the potato
vines up and they are now paying at
tention to the spuds themselves. Where
the growing potatoes He close to the sur
face of the ground, the worms have no
difficulty in finding them, but if burled
to the depth of several Inches, the pota
toes have thus far been safe. His pea
vines have been denuded of leaves and
the worms have begun on the pods with
the evident Intention of boring through
and gobbling up the whole business.
Some farms have proven free from
the pests, and he thinks the worms travel
In streaks through that portion of West
ern Washington.
No fight has been made against them
on the Cowlitz, he says, as they are
so numerous wherever they appear that
farmers think It would be of little use.
A report has gotten abroad that the
worms "Just fatten on Paris green," and
so the people are waiting for tho next
bulletin from the Agricultural College,
which will tell them of something more
deadly. t
The timber lands tributary to the Cow
litz, Mr. Laughlin says, are "pretty well
logged off," and they now make fine pas
ture. Stockmen who have sown tame
grasses among the stumps find that the
pasturage is thereby Increased many fold,
and he looks for that region to become
a great dairy and beef-raising
country. Those engaged In raising
cattle have recently decided not
to sell off the young calves, as hereto
fore, but to keep them until they be
come beef steers or milch cows. They
will not have quite so much ready cash
for the first few years, but by managing
to keep their young stock, they will
make big money in the long run.
When Mr. Laughlin goes home he will
proceed to dig his potatoes and store
them away In a dark cellar. If the worms
persist in ruining the crop. The tubers
are not quite ripe yet. but he may have
to forestall the rascally caterpillars.
PORTLAND'S DESTINY.
Judge Boise Predicts a- Brilliant Pn.
tnre For It.
Judge R. P. Boise, of Salem, who was
in the city yesterday, said: he thought
Portland was destined to become the
largest city on the Coast He has
thought so for the past 40 years, and
he sees nothing yet to cause him to
change his mind.
"Portland," he said, "Is so situated
that the products of the whole Columbia
Basin slide Into her lap, by gravltatlon.
Start a train anywhere about Spokane,
Walla Walla, Pendleton or even up in
British Columbia, and it will slide into
Portland If you keep tho breaks off. The
same may be said In reference to the
Willamette Valley, while the great trade
of Central and Southeastern Oregon will
find its most convenient emporium here.
"The history of shipping on tho Pacific
Coast proves that Portland has the safest
harbor in the Northwest, Puget Sound
cannot be considered safe while so many
vessels are being lost off Cape Flattery.
I have heard for many years that ships
would go to some other port than Port
land for their wheat cargoes, but they
still continue to come up the Columbia
River in Increasing numbers.
"I, therefore, consider that money In
vested property in Portland real estate,
is absolutely safe, as the city cannot
help growing in size and Importance."
Judge Boise has been a resident of
Oregon since 1S50, and has been a careful
observer of the progress of the state.
He has twice held the honored position
of Chief Justice of the State Supreme
Court and is now serving his third term
as Circuit Judge In Marlon County. He
came to Portland this time to attend
the funeral of his friend. Judge Shat
tuck. NEED A VACATION.
Firemen Think They Deserve a
"WecWm Rest.
This is the time of year when Portland
firemen think they ought to have a week
or two of vacation. Some of them com
plain that police officers are given a regu
lar week off every Summer, and that the
charter provides for the .firemen to be
given a breathing spell also. Last year
each member of the police force was given
a week to use as he saw fit, and most
of them took a little run to the cdast or
Into the country, and came back feeling
all the better for it, This year, however,
the patrolmen are not so sure of a vaca
tion, as the force has been reduced to
a total of 39 men, and this number, di
vided into three watches, gives the city
but 13 on duty at a time. Whether the
Chief can sparo the men from this little
force he has not yet Informed them.
The firemen number a total of 125, and
it would take quite a while to give them
all a week off, unless quite a number
were permitted to leave at once, which
would expose tho city to the mercy of
the flames with a short-handed depart
ment. One of the fire boys said yesterday:
"Pennoyer gave us a two years' vacation
when he became Mayor, and that's the
only one we ever had. People think that
we don't need a vacation, because we have
to work only when the fire boll rings, but
we consider a run to a fire quite a vaca
tion, as It permits us to get away from
the engine-house and run around a Utile,.
The only way we can get off for a week
now is to put men In our places, and so
we could not even have the use of our
meager .salary while we were taking a
few days off."

TO HANDLE THE CROPS
FARMERS SPEXD MUCH MONEY FOR
MACHINERY.
About $1,000,000 Will Be Spent This
Year in. the Northwest for
Grain Basra.
Dealers in-threshing-machines, traction
engines and all that goes to make up an
outfit 'for a threshing crew have been
doing a runhlrig business of late. There
are eight dealers in such raaofilnery in
Portland, four on the East Side and four
on the West Side, and their sales this
season, it Is roughly estimated, will
amount to $000,000. One of them, when
askqd a few days agp what was the use.
of having so many in this line of busi
ness here, laughingly remarked that there
was no need of It as he would be pleased
to furnish nine-tenths of the threshing
machinery needed in the Northwest "I
sold over the long-distance telephone one
afternoon last week," he continued, "J12.9M
worth of such machinery, and stopped a
train east of the mountains in the same
way to deliver a thresher, tank and 20
horsepower engine."
When it was suggested that this saved
some ono freight he 'shook his head and
said no freight could be saved in that
way. Business was done In a way which
did not allow of that
When asked how the sales compared
with those of last year; he replied:
"Farmers bought liberally last year, but
there were a good many orders canceled
on account of damage done to the crop
at the last moment by a hot wind. This
season the sales of threshing machinery
were larger than ever before, but the
farmers ware afraid of another hot wind,
and put off buying till the crop was out
of danger, comparatively, and when the
harvest was safe there was a rush of
orders. Sales will be still larger next
year. This is always the case after a
big harvest, as so many farmers have
trouble about getting a thresher when
they want It that they make up their
minds to have one of their own.
"As to harvesters and headers, many
of them wore sold, but the threshing ma
chinery men had nothing to do with them.
"The Item of grain sacks is also an ex
tensive one for wheatgrowers. It will be
remembered that not long ago a ship ar
rived here from Calcutta, having a cargo
of 6193 bales, or 6,159,000 grain sacks, and
a lot of sacklng-cloth, enough altogether
to provide for about 15,000,000 bushels of
wheat About JOO.OOO duty was paid on
this cargo, and the freight on it amounted
to 520,000. These sacks cost the farmers
about 7 cents apiece, and in the aggregate
over $430,000, and as they were only about
one-third enough to contain the-crop, it
will be .seen that the farmers of the Pa
cific Northwest will pay this !year for
'sacks over $1,000,000."
EAST SIDE AFFAIRS.
Soldiers' and Snllora' Reunion Other
Matters.
At the last meeting of the general com
mittee of the Multnomah County Ex-Soldiers'
Association, which has charge of all
arrangements for the reunion of 1900, the
subcommitteo was Instructed to negotiate
for Hawthorne Park for the reunion. Sev
eral other flattering offers have been re
ceived. The City & Suburban Railway
Company has offered the committee the
free use of Belmont Park, at Mount Ta
bor, and will fix up the grounds, besides
contributing liberally toward the ex
penses, but Hawthorne Park Is consid
ered the best If It can be secured on
terms within the reach of the association.
The subcommittee is composed of E. W.
Allen. E. M. Sargent DeWltt C. Miller,
Jacob Deckenbach and J. S. Foss. They
will know the coming week whether Haw
thorne Park can be had for the reunion.
The Ladles' Auxiliary Is favorable to the
latter place, and all the old soldiers are
also. The programmes for the days of
the reunion are all practically made up,
and the only thing now lacking is the
place for holding the reunion, but this is
expected to be settled now within a week
and perhaps In less time.
On the Cnmp Ground.
The camp ground at Pleasant Home,
where the 12th annual reunion of old sol
diers will be held this week, yesterday,
was full of animation in advance of tho
opening. The committee ordered 35 tents
last week, but had to send in for 11 more.
Already there is a city of tents In the
timber back from the assembly ground,
and the scene Is very attractive. The com
mittee thinks that not less than 50 families
will be encamped on the ground by this
evening, to remain during the entire week.
Many of the decorations of the stands
and the speakers" platform were up yes
terday evening, and were quite fantastic
This evening the only exercises of- the
day will be held, and these will be what
may bo called "Sparks from the Camp
fire,", which will be under the charge of
Jules G. Stephens. A big fire will be
built on the elevated platform, which
stands In the center of the ground, which
will Illuminate the surroundings. Then
the old soldiers will give incidents of the
war. Frank Stephens, from the Corval
lis Agricultural College, an elocutionist
will be present this evening, and there
will be other exercises. Tomorrow will
be the regular opening day. The speak
er of the day will be Dr. Blackburn, who
will speak in the afternoon. With the
present fine weather, the daily attend
ance will be large. The committee of
arrangement is composed of J. G. Steph
ens, T. A. Shetterly, Henry Kane and
Fred Emily. J. G. Stephens is secretary
and R. W. Pool is president
Minister Is an Athlete.
Rev. F. F. Coulter, the new pastor of
the United Brethren Church, of the East
Side, is an athlete, and while attending
Stanford University was one of the fast
est wheelman among the students there.
He weighs fully 200 pounds, but there Is
not an ounce of superfluous flesh on him,
and he Is in every way well proportioned.
He rode in some of the fast cycle races
at Stanford. Several years ago, after a,
big carthquako In San Francisco, Mr.
Coulter was one of a committee sent Into
the mountains to look Into the effects of
the earthquake. He took his bicycle and
went back Into the most Inaccessible por
tions of the mountains, and rode his bi
cycle through seemingly Impassable re
gions successfully and obtained an. ad
mirable report Among the household
goods of Mr. Coulter Is a tandem for
himself and wife and a bicycle for him
self. He Is delighted with the -green hills
of Oregon and is looking forward to some
excursions after a time into the interior.
FalrvieTT Archaeology Society.
The Alpha Archaeology Society, of Fair
view, which was recently organized, held
Its meeting tho first of the week- at the
home of W. T. Scott, with a good attend
ance. There is much Interest in the pur
poses of this organization, which Is to col
lect archaeological relics and specimens
for study. A considerable collection of
curios has been gathered, and at present
are on exhibition at the store of R. Hofer.
Quarters will be secured in the Smith
Memorial Church, and the next meeting
will be held there August 6. A constitu
tion and by-laws will bo Turawn up by Mrs.
W. T. Scott. Mrs. A. T. Stone and Harold
Sppw, so that the organization will be
permanent and definite. At the meeting
special attention is given to the study of
archaeological subjects, with enough of
the humorous thrown In to give zest to
the proceedings. The young people of the
society deserve credit for the Interest they
are taking in the society.
Dairy Interests.
The dairy interests of Powell's Valley
have grown most wonderfully, as anyone
can see by wheeling out to the end. of
the cycle path at Pleasant Home at an
.early hour in the morning. ' At Gresham
vehicles pour in at the cneese factory,
beginning at about 6 o'clock, from all
over the country, with great cans of milk.
Thore are about SO wagons engaged in
delivering milk. At many farmhouses
may be seen the great cans In the morn
ing ready for the wagons when they come
along. The creamery at Pleasant Home,
which was recently established by S. W.
Kern, Is also proving a success. He Is
now taking between 1400 and 1500 pounds
of milk every morning, and he says that
he Is well satisfied with his venture and
contemplates enlarging his factory. Some
were skeptical about -the success of the
preameryi but they now have faith in the
enterprise. The enterprise, although
small, has proved a good thing for the
neighborhood in furnishing a market for
the milk of the farmers. Much ready
money goes into Powell's Valley by the
cheese factory at Gresham and the dairy
at Pleasant Home.
Kelly Road Extension.
A force of men ha3 been at work on
tho extension of the Kelly road, between
Woodstock and Ivanhoe, east of the
Woodstock branch of the City & Suburb
an Railway. This extension of the Kelly
road is being Improved by grading to a
connection with the Mllwaukie road.
Work was begun at the Mllwaukie end,
and the men are working westward to
tho Woodstock Railway at the Mann Hill.
When this hill is reached the grade will
be cut down about four feet, which will
greatly Improve the road. Tho people of
Woodstock are very anxious that the
cycle path, on Kelly road, which ends at
the foot of the Mann Hill, should be com
pleted up the hllL As the top of the hill
is to be cut down, there will be an abund
ance of dirt to make the path and at
little expense, but the Commissioners are
not spending any of the bicycle tax mon
ey at present and may not build this
extension.
East Side Notes.
There was a fire alarm yesterday after
noon calling the East" Side firemen to
East Eleventh and Stephens, but there
was no fire to extinguish.
There was a slight blaze in the house
of A. Pelffer, at Sellwood, yesterday. The
volunteer company turned out but the
fire was extinguished without their serv

CATTLE IN GRANT,
Yearlings Will Be Shipped From
Shanilco Here.
D. W. Ralston, a well-known stock
buyer, who has just returned from a
trip to Grant County, reports cattle and
sheep all in prime condition, as grass in
the Blue Mountains is now at its best
He bought a number of yearling wethers
which he will have shipped from ShaniKo
to Portland for local and Puget Sound
markets. These sheep will have to be
driven from their shady mountain re
cesses, over the bunchgrass prairies, for
00 or CO miles, and this task will occupy
a week or 10 days, as the stock must
be moved very slowly in the cool hours,
to keep them from falling off. In fact,
most of the drive will have to be made
at night
There are quite a number of fat cattle
in that portion of the state, he said, yes
terday, at tho Perkins, but they are Jn
small lots, and It takes a good deal of
traveling about over a wide ' stretch of
country to gather any considerable num
ber. He found quite a sprinkling of fat
dry cows offered for sale, although cat
tlemen usually prefer to keep their cows
for breeding. The price offered, however,
ia an inducement Tor the owner "to part
with them, $30 being considered quite
a neat sum for a dry cow. As 'for milch
cows, they cannot be bought at any
price.
Both beef and mutton stock, he thought,
are declining in price, as many -rather
expect a slump In the Fall. He pays
about 52 30 a head for yearling wethers-,
while beef cattle are worth about $3 SO
per hundred on foot, delivered In Port
land. In traveling by farms In Eastern Ore
gon he found that harvest hands were
scarce everywhere, and both headers and
threshing machines were being operated
under difficulty. In consequence. All tho
machines wero running short handed,
and boys were often trying to do the
work of men. The crops will be safely
housed, however, though tho farmers will
be later than usual in taking care of
them.
Yet with all this demand for men,
he ran across quite a number of hobo3
"lookln' for work." One squad of seven
at The Dalles tried to work him for
passes, as they wanted to get employ
ment In the timber below Portland, they
said. He told them to go out Into the
fields anywhere and get work at good
wages, as farmers were yearning for men,
but the tramps took tie passes for Port
land and probably have reached the
shade trees along the Columbia by this
time, where they can lie in wait for
the train and take th brakebcam or the
roads for this city. When here, he thinks
they will endeavor to get passes over the
road for some other point where they
can continue to look for work without
so much danger of finding it
LUMBERMEN SCARCE.
Hard to Secure Mlllhands at Wolf
Creek.
J. F. Tuffs, business manager of the1
Sugar Pine Door & Lumber Company,
at Wolf Creek, Josephine County, is In
Portland spending his vacation, as he
recognizes the fact that Portland Is a
cool, comfortable- and shady place, where
all the modern necessities and luxuries
may be obtained at a reasonable price.
Others may go to the coast or to the
mountains, but Mr. Tuffs enjoys the me
tropolis and Its Summer advantages that
many city residents overlook. At the Im
perial yesterday he said the lumber Inter
ests of Southern ,Oregon had grown large
ly within the past five years, and that
California was a good customer for the
sugar pine, which is now used largely
In the Interior finish of the better class
of buildings.
His company has eight sawmills run
ning, and tho- hands employed' number
over 200. At Wolf Creek two mills are
In operation, and the day force numbers
75 man. He finds hands scarce, even at
advanced wages, and says the "boot is
on the other foot now," compared with
five years ago In those days men would
come asking for work with tears In their
eyes, while now the employer hunts up
the men with fears in his eyes. In 1835
common, handi did all the work about
tho sawmill, except Just around the en-
glne and saws, but now they are all me
chanics, from, the man who fells ae tre
in the Wolf Creek woods to the offbearef
at the mill.
Mr. Tuffs fears that overproduction may
cause a drop in the price of lumber, how
ever, as all the old mills have resumed
and many new ones have started up. -Last
year tho mills were all rushed to keep
up to their orders, but this year he no
tices lumber piling up in the yards In an
ominous way that indicates more sup
ply than demand. There Is a big market
for lumber in all parts of tho country
yet he thought, but there Is a big lot
of mills to supply it
ROCKER RUNS A FAN.
How an Ingenious Man Manages to
Keep Cool.
A man sitting under his own vine and
fig tree Is looked upon by many as rep
resenting tho acme of earthly bliss, while
the man who possesses an electric fan
which makes a breeze blow through his
whiskers when he wishes, Is next on the
list J. C Boyle, an engineer of this
city, has, however, invented a "rocker
fan." which is the most convenient and
efficient machine imaginable for raising
a breeze to keep one cool. It is light
and portable, and can be attached to any
rocking chair in a moment and Is oper
ated by simply rocking the chair.
Mr. Boyle has one attached to his fa
vorite rocker, and It works like a charm.
The fan much resembles an ordinary elec
tric fan, and is attached to a Jointed
arm, the base of which Is clamped to the
back ot the rocker. A bent piece of
wood, a sort of false rocker. Is clamped
to ohe of the rockers of the chair, and
a cord extends from the Inner end of
this over a pulley, up the back of the
chair and out along the arm that carries
the fan to operate it
The machinery for operating the fan is
very simple. A cord Is wound around a
tiny drum, about an inch in diameter. A
spur wheel attached to the shaft running
through this drum engages with a pinion
on the shaft or axle of the fan. As
the chair rocks back, tho cord tightens
and sots the fan revolving, and as the
chair rocks forward the little drum takes
up the slack of the cord, ready further
to revolve the fan as the chair rocks
back. A ratchet and pawl allows the fan
to keep revolving as the chair rocks for
ward, and so it keeps up a continuous
breeze. By the aid of a toggle joint the
fan can be placed in any position, so as
to "blow" from one side or the other
or from above.
It might be supposed from this de
scription that tho apparatus is a clumsy
affair, but all the wheels would not
weigh an ounce, and could bo carried In
a vest pocket and the whole concern is
so light that Its presence on a chair is
not noticed. By rocking the chair gently
a fine breeze Is kept blowing on the
occupant constantly, and by rocking vig
orously enough wind can be raised to
blow one's hair off. It Is Just the thins
for the tropics, where It could be used all
the year round, and Mr. Boyle's friends
advise him to make a lot to send to the
Philippines, Chicago, New York, Hawaii
and other hot places.
Some might be sent to China, as things
seem to be getting hotter and hotter
there. One looking at this fan and see
ing how simple, efficient and convenient
it Is for a chair with one attached can
be moved and placed in any position
or taken out on the porch just as if It
were not there Is led to wonder why
no one has ever Invented such a thing
before.

Eames, Nordica, etc., etc. Every grand
opera company that has come out West
has most unqualifiedly expressed prefer
ence for the Kimball pianos and the con
sensus of these opinions Is that th'e Kim
ball pianos are as nearly perfect as hu
man, skill and Ingenuity can make them,
and that their remarkable tone quality
supports and blends with the human
voice most admirably.
