How Cyclones Rotate. PORTLAND. Or.. Nov. 2.'!. (To the Editor.) Will you please inform ma through your paper if cyclones rotate In opposite directions, as regards tlieir positions north or soifth of equator, and ifso, which way do these in tho north travel; also what books would give mo definite information on whirl winds and movements of the air? Thanking you in advance. A SUBSCRIBER. Cyclones rotate spirally inwards at the surface of the earth in a direction contrary to the movements of the hands of a watch in the Northern Hem isphere and tho reverse in the Southern Hemisphere. The difference is due to the earth's rotation. The mechanical and thermal problems connected with the generation and maintenance of storms are set forth without technical mathe matics in "Popular Treatise on Winds." by Professor William Ferrel. They are discussed in a more elaborate and tech nical manner by Professor F. H.

But America has proved equal' to the emergency. This country has produced toys that appeal to the juvenile fancy quite as much as those that used to come from Germany, where the best toys here v tofore have been made. A -writer in The Sunday Oregonian will tell something about the nature of American-made toys and how they are made. A BANKER WHO IS A NOTED HUNTER As a usual thing the average New York banker is too busy to give any attention to any thing but banking. But there is one man on Wall street who, were he not a banker, would have just claim to distinction on his record as either a big game hunter or as a writer. He is A. Barton Hep burn, chairman of the board of directors of the Chase National Bank, of New York. Mr. Hepburn is well know in Portland. His son formerly was connected with one of the Portland banks. In to morrow's paper Mr. Hepburn will relate some of his experiences as a big game hunter. KEEN AN ON GOLF John J. Keenan, the well-known authority on golf, presents another story on this popular pastime tomorrow. Mr. Keenan discusses the merit of qualifying golf tourneys and reaches the conclusion that they are all wrong. ANOTHER WALLINGFORD TRIUMPH George Randolph Chester never produced a more entertaining Wallingford story than that which will appear in The 'Oregonian tomorrow.

ELECTRIFYING THE STEAM LINES Did you ever know that one of the big transcontinental railroads is preparing to substitute elec tricity for steam on the entire western end of the system ?

FUN FOR THE CHILDREN As usual, the Sunday issue will be re plete with departments intended to interest the little folks. In the first place there will be a half page of short stories, jokes, puzzles, conundrums and pictures.

MOVING-PICTURE NEWS Complete information on the latest de velopments in the moving-picture world will be contained in the sev eral pages devoted to the silent drama.

OLD REPUBLICAN CLUB All Portlanders, excepting the newer residents, remember the Multorpor Republican Club that flourished here about 20 years ago.

USUAL SUNDAY ATTRACTIONS Other big departments of the Sunday paper will include several pages devoted to sports, the drama, society, automobiles, real estate, music, churches, schools, women's affairs and other activities in which Portland people are engaged.
