SECOND LECTURE TONIGHT Bin Declared to Be Contrary to Truth and Mistaken Belief; Thought That Prompts Deed Held to Be Greater Wrong. The teachings of Christian Science were discussed last night in a lecture delivered by Dr. Francis J. Fluno. C. S. D., of Oakland. CaL, before a large audience at First Church of Christ. Sci entist. Dr. Fluno Is a member of the board of lectureship of the Mother Church, the First Church of Christ. Sci entist, in Boston. Mass. He will repeat bis lecture tonight at 8 o'clock. Christian Anderson, who introduced the speaker last night, said: "The fact that these lectures are so well attended is one of the proofs that Christian Science is engaging the at tention of thinking people; the reason for this interest is not far to seek; for however we may differ in opinion gen erally, there is one subject on which we all agree: We all desire to be happy, therefore any system that makes for happiness is bound to be interesting. Christian Science is engaging attention because it is true. It shows that good ness and happiness are one and the same thing and then proceeds to make us happier by making us better." Dr. Fluno said in part: Physic Not Metaphyslce. "In true metaphysics. Christian Sci ence, all is mind; there is no physical, no material, no matter. And the so called science of physics has no part with the science of metaphysics. Be ginning with matter all is matter, there is no mind; beginning with mind all is mind, there is no matter. There is nothing that mind does not evolve, gov ern and control.' Mind is spirit, and everything that spirit creates is like itself, spiritual and not material. To spirit there is no matter, all is spirit. "Nothing that he has made can ever be lost. From the spire of grass that carpets the green meadow up to man, the consumption and combination of all his handiwork, all. each, in their true spiritual being have their places In the infinite mind. -Science admits of no personal opin ion ignores all opinion: it is founded upon the rock of self-evident, demon strable truth, and can never be shaken. There are no beliefs in science; beliefs all vanish when the understanding ap pears. 'With all thy getting get under standing.' "Mrs. Eddy believed there was a scl entitic law underlying and controlling the health of man: she searched, she found, she demonstrated, she no longer believed she knew. "The science of being does not contra dict the Bible, but it may contradict somebody's ideas of the Bible. It would not be science if it did not contradict some person's beliefs of the Bible. "Sin sickness, sorrow, pain and death are discords, and not the truth of be ing, of which to know the truth is to be freed from their giant grasp. Unreality of Sin Explained. "There is no truth in sin; that is. there is no truth in the thought that prompts the action, hence no reality: and that which is unreal is false, and is therefore nothing. It Is a mistaken belief that must be destroyed through suffering, or science. The overt act Is not the greater wrong it is for the thought that prompts the deed that we must pay the debt. "Mortality alone must die, for it is a child of the devil, who 'was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth In him.' "We must separate the mortal from the immortal, and do it now, not after death. The devil says 'After death'; God says 'Now is the accepted time.' "And why does God say now? Be cause God is truth, and In truth there Is no other time, 'tis one eternal now. "And why does the devil say after death'.' Because there is no death: all Is life. Everything that the devil makes or advises Is Just like himself: it seems to be. but Is not. i "Mortality is a myth; there is no mor tality. "Twas the Lord God, or human ized God. the carnal mind, the seeming, that comes by living in or depending upon the senses, that made and still makes man mortal, and that Adam eense. or material sense, names every thing below it, materially. "Now you see how it was that every thing was brought to Adam to be named. God names everything after Its true, perfect, and harmonious charac ter, while the Adam or false sense names everything after its false, ma terial, or seeming character. One is true, the otaer is false; one is. and the other is not, but only seems to be." SAFE R0BBERYCONFESSED Youth Admits Helping loot Union Avenue Store Strong Box.

Full of Small Valleys. ALBANT. Or.. Aug. 6. (Special.) A beaut:ful rolling country, full of hills and small valleys, Is the territory along the French frontier where the German army is making enons ai in vasion, as described by Rev. Fatner Arthur Lane, rector of St. Mary's Ro man Catholic Church of this city. Fath er Lane visited that section two years ago, while on his way to the Euchar istlc Congress at Vienna, and stopped at Belford. which is only a short dis tance south of the point where the Ger man army is said to have crossed the border line between the two countries. Father Lane says that the topog raphy of the country Is similar to that of the country Just west of Corvallis, the country being marked by the same type of rolling hills. He says the val levs there are small and narrow be tween the hills, and that the foothills along parts of the frontier gradually run up into higher mountains similar to the Coast Range in Oregon. Instead of being covered with timber as 'are the hills of Western Oregon, these hills along the French frontier are cultivated almost to their summits. Instead of rail or wire fences, small stone fences divide the farms and the houses, even the smaller farmhouses are of stone, too. The houses are al! of an austere type, and none have porches. GERMAN CONSUL FINED MR. K1RCHOFF ENTERS NO PRO TEST WHEN HALTED BY POLICE. Press of Business Given as Excuse and Plea That Secretary Be Allowed to Appear Is Granted. German Consular Agent Klrchoft was fined $30 in Municipal Court yes terday for speeding. He fell into the hands of Detective and Mrs. William Royle when the two were riding their motorcycle on Hawthorne avenue Wed nesday. Automobilists who drive out Haw thorne avenue have learned to be par ticularly careful between 6 and 6 o'clock In the evening. Each day at about this time Mr. and Mrs. Royle go home on their motorcycle, riding tan dem, and many speeders have been ar rested as a consequence. Wednesday a car passed them plain ly exceeding the speed limit. Detective Royle gave chase. For 10 blocks they burned the pavement before they over took the automobile. Royle hailed the driver, and both machines stopped. "You're exceisding the speed limit." he told the driver. TYou'll have to re port in Police Court tomorrow morn ing." "Very likely I was, and I'm truly sorry," replied the man. "My name is Fritz H. KIrchoff." "Oh, you're the German Consul. I guess you'll have to report in court just the same." "I'll gladly plead guilty. I was going too fast, all right. I have so much work ahead of me. so many wor ries since the war broke out, that I really didn't think how fast I was going. I'll be exceedingly busy to morrow. Would it be satisfactory if I sent my secretary to the court in the morning?" The secretary appeared before Judge Stevenson and paid the usual tl a mile fine. EXPLOSION INJURES ONE BCILDING AT 1031 EAST MADISON STREET DESTROYED! LOSS S1SOO. Rart Glustlna Strikes Match In Base ment and Gns Fumes Ignite, Hurting Him Badly. Gas which exploded when Bart Gius tina struck a match in the basement of a garage at 1031 East Madison street early yesterday seriously burned Giustina and caused a fire which to tally destroyed the building. The loss is estimated at $1800. The force of the explosion broke windows In nearby houses and shook the neighborhood for blocks around. Giustina, a member of the Giustina Bros, contracting firm, went into the basement about 1 o'clock. Unable to see, he lit a match and the fumes, which came either from oil stored in the garage or from a leaking gas main, exploded. The man was thrown 30 feet, his clothes almost all torn from his body. The blinding flash burned the skin from his hands and portions of his body Fire immediately started and Gius tina. crying for help, crawled through the flames upstairs and reached the sidewalk, where he fell unconscious. He was picked up by the Ambulance Service Company and taken to St. Vin cent's Hospital. He will recover, but It may be necessary to resort to skin grafting. Fire engine No. 9 responded to a call, but the explosion had set the entire building afire. Dry as tinder, the en tire structure was soon a mass of flames which the firemen could not check. "I CRIPPLED NEWSBOY RETURNS $500 FOUND ON CAR. Thai's Wbat You Get for Being Honest," Dan O'Mara Remarks as Railroad Act Takes Gold. Five hundred dollars in gold was re turned yesterday to an assistant ticket agent of the Southern Pacific Com pany by Dan O'Mara, the crippled newsboy who runs a stand at Flfith and Washington streets. The money, in tens and twenties, was found in a Woodlawn streetcar Tuesday. Wednesday Dan told Patrolman Hewston of his find and the officer reported that "a newsboy known as Sammy" had found the money. This was published in The Oregonian yes terday, and numerous bankers and business men inquired from their em ployes if any money had been missed. One of the clerks at the Southern Pacific ticket office, it later developed, had left the bag containing the money on the car when he got off. He called on Dan O'Mara. and when the latter had been convinced that the money really belonged to the Southern Pa cific Company he turned it over to the gent. "Thanks, you're an honest man," he told the newsboy, as he took the money and walked away. - "That's what you get for being honest, all right." sighed Dan. Chicago Livestock Market. CHICAGO.

ALL HOPS NEEDED Contracts Made by Foreigners Will Hold Good. FUTURE OF OREGON MARKET Possibility of Sensational Develop ments Before Coming Season Is Over Xew Export Trade May Be Pound. Hopmen are indulging in a lot of specu lation as to what win happen to the hop market. While it is believed by many that the early effect of the war will be to depress prices, the opinion la almost gen eral that the later market should be a good one. With the progress and duration of the war such an uncertain proposition, nothing more than a guess can be made as to what course the market will pursue and one man's guess is as good as another's. One fact is plain, however, and that Is that as the European countries that are at war are hop-producing countries and some of them exporters, the United States will be in a position to capture their export trade if the foreign crops should be cut down ma terially, and this Is likely to happen if the war lasts for CO days longer. Furthermore, the United States, even with Its large crop, would llnd great difficulty In supplying everybody's needs and the readjustment of the American market to the new conditions might mean sensationally high prices. Whatever may happen In the immediate future, it is likely that all the contracts entered Into with growers by foreign deal ers or their agents will be carried out. Most of these foregn buyers have heavy property interests in this country and will no doubt be able to finance their deals easily, even If the foreign exchange market Is not re established by picking time. As for the others. It Is not seen how they can be pre vented from carrying out their obligations. They will certainly need American hops more than they have needed them before and will leave nothing undone to secure the crops. In the meantime there is an Indication of an improvement In the demand, but grow ers are not ready sellers, as they see a chance for great speculation in the market. The 300 bales of Washington hops, report ed yesterday as bought at 15 cents, were 1914 hops and not spots. EFFECT OF AVAR ON WOOL MARKET Only Temporary Advance In Prices Likely to Occur. In commenting on the effect of the war on the wool market, the Boston Commer cial Bulletin says: "It is difficult to see how the wool and textile industries could benefit more than temporarily, and far-seeing men believe that the reaction, bound to occur from a far-reaching and long-drawn out war, would be harmful to even neutral nations." Sales of territory wool at Boston in the past week were fairly large. A lot of Ore gon wool running largely to staple and some Idaho or similar characteristics is reported to have been sold on a clean basis approximating 60 cents. Staple Oregon is quoted at an estimated clean cost of 6365 cents. A lot of original Montana of about 200.000 pounds was sold at 22 to 23 hi cents in the grease for fine and half-blood wools or about 58 to 60 cents, estimated clean basis. Small quantities of original Wyoming are also reported at 21 to 22 cents, or about the same clean price for the best wools. Other small lots of New Mex ican original at clean costs aproxlmatlns 55 cents are reported. f In graded wools, business has been slow but a small quantity has been sold in Soda Springs wool, including one lot of 20,000 pounds of quarter-blood at 24 cents and a lot of half-blood at the same price, or esti mated to shrink about 55 per cent. MERCHANTS EXCHANGE IN SESSION Offers Made for Spot Wheat Establish Local Market. The reorganized Merchants' Exchange be gan operations yesterday morning In the Exchange rooms In the Board of Trade building, with a large attendance of local grain men. No business was transacted, as the entire grain trade of the Northwest Is now at a standstill, because of the stop page of exportations. There were bids for wheat, however, and these established prices for the day. Offers of 84 cents were made for club, 2 cents for red, 87 cents for blue stem and S5 cents for forty-fold. No. 1 white oats were quoted at $22 and feed oats at $21.50. No. 1 feed barley was quoted at 2 and brewing at $20.30. Exporters could hold out no promise as to when buying for foreign account would be resumed. The opinion was more or less general that only a decisive naval battle would settle this question. Local receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Monday 94 5 7 3 0 Tuesday 45 7 7 3 2 Wednesday 4S 2 13 1 3 Thursday 42 2 13 1 4 Year ago 10 2 5 6 6 Season to date. .083 152 215 96 143 Year ago 317 170 243 70 206 CANTELOUrE MARKET IS TOP HEAVY Prices Are Cut, Owing to Excessive Receipts. Melons Steady. f The cantaloupe market was top heavy yesterday. California cantaloupes sold as low as 73 cents a crate and Eastern Ore gon cantaloupes were disposed of at al most any price they would bring. Melons were steady with a big demand on both local and shipping account. The peach market was in good shape. California Elbertas sold up to 75 cents with a very active demand. The best Ore gon peaches were also moved readily. Ripe Bartlett pears continue scarce and firm. Grapes were steady, Malagas selling at $1.50. Five cars of bananas were received. There was no further change In the lemon market, but additional advances are ex pected. Lemons are very strong in Cali fornia, owing to the heavy Eastern demand occasioned by the stopping of importations from Sicily. EASTERN SUGAR MARKET IS UNEVEN Spread of 75 Points in Lists Quoted by Leading Refiners. There was no further change In tho local sugar situation yesterday. Tho future is absolutely uncertain, but the belief prevails that higher prices are coming. The New York market continued strong and excited, but decidedly uneven. One of the Eastern refiners announced an advance of 25 points to 5.25c. but sonic of tho others are still holding down to 4.50c. With this spread of 75 cents it can easily be seen that the trade is at sea. The local coffee, market was also un changed. At Xew York there was a less active demand for spot and some slight re cession In prices. In most other commodities and in all im ported lines firmness Is the feature. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: Clearings. Balances. Portland '"?;: Seattle Tacoma ....

Poultry receipts were light, but the de mand was not over strong, and prices were steady, heus sailing H to M nan: I and Springs at 14 to 16 cents. Dressed meats were firm at the old prices. There Is but little Inquiry for uncandled eggs, owing to the poor Summer quality of a large part of the arrivals. Selected eggs were firm. No changes were reported In dairy pro duce lines.

Conditions in the financial district were unchanged today. Because of the reduction of the British Bank discount rate and reports of similar action liv the Bank of France, it is be lieved those local Institutions which yes terday advanced call money from 6 to S per cent will now restore the lower rate. Accumulation o freight for Europe Is gradually diminishing here, local railroad men assert. Foodstuffs will, of course, be the principal export while the war is on, and the perishable character of these com modities will deter shippers from adding to such congestion as now prevails. The Stock Exchange has decided to re move tho prohibition against trading. Jn auguratcd after the Exchange suspended operations last Thursday. Buying and sell ing of a nonspeculative character will be permitted and this. It is believed, will he oft'ectlve In clearing up many contracts hanging over from last week.

ADVANCE IS NOT HELD Bulge Due to Report (That Grain Had Been Sold for Shipment to Montreal Sharp Gain In Provision Prices. CHICAGO, Aug. 8. On a sudden flurry, but unaccompanied by any heavy trading, the wheat market In the December and May options ran up today to the highest prices of the year. Before any extensive profit-taking could be accomplished, however, quota tions had dropped back, and the market closed weak at a point 14c to c above last night. The only basis for the brief stam pede appeared to be a report that some wheat had been sold here today to go to Montreal. Corn wound up 114c to lT4c higher; oats, with a gain of lie to lie, and provisions at 27 lie to $1.70 advance. Readiness with which offerings were ab sorbed had a bullish effect on the early wheat market. Apparently speculators could not be turned from the prospect that huge exports from the United States would be certain before a great while. Cables from Liverpool referred to better terms granted by the British Government for insuring war risks on foodstuffs. At first, however, prices seemed to waver on account of selling by receiving houses here. Weakness was chiefly noticeable in the nearby delivery, September. After opening lc lower to 14c advance, the market overcame all the losses and in the deferred options scored net gains that amounted to 114. Lack of selling pressure was responsible for a continued rise in quotations. About the middle of the session. May wheat touched $1.0614, a rise of 3 cents a bushel com pared with "last night. The net gains for September and December at the Bame time were respectively lc and 2c. The mar ket later reacted almost as fast as It had advanced. Expected rains in the domestic drouth region weakened corn at the outset, but a decided rally ensued when wheat turned strong. Besides Eastern cash demand was again urgent. Trading in oats was quite limited. Values were governed mainly by the action of the corn market. Packers were credited with having taken to the buying side of provisions. First transactions ranged from 5c to 35c higher, and there were additional gains later. Hog receipts at Western points dropped off to a total that was only a third as large as a year ago.
