THE last week in June there Is to
be an Invasion of dolls into Port
land such as the city has never
Been. A whole toyshop full Is coming,
and dolls such as even Santa Claus has
failed to equal. Dolls with golden locks
of real hair; dolls with brown eyes and
raven tresses; Dutch dolls, French dolls,
wax dolls, paper dolls and so many kinds
of dolls that the ones now on the shelves
of our toyshops will have their noses out
of joint for many a day to corae,
Portland Academy gymnasium has been
turned into a workshop and every day
a troupe of busy workers can be seen
making vigorous efforts to have the dolls
all ready by June 22, for that is the first
date on which they will be introduced to
Portland society. This workshop belongs
for the time being to the Institute Club
of the People's Institute and the presid
ing genius of the place is Miss Margaret
R. Martin, who is wonderful in her man
agement of children and In her rare abil
ity to direct and control. She has been
In this work for seven years, giving this
opera and the "House that Jack Built" in
many of the large cities of this country,
also in British Columbia and Honolulu
always with unvarying success.
The scene of the opera is laid in the
shop of an old toymaker, who is discov
ered singing at his work. He is surprised
when the clock strikes the hour of mid
night and hurriedly puts away his tools
and retires. When he is safely out, the
fairies come from their home In the clock
and with the magic of their wands bring
all the dolls and toys to life and the
revel begins. The question arises as to
who shall be the Queen. The Paris doll
considers herself eligible on account of
her social prestige. The soldiers of the
tin and wooden varieties favor military
rule, while the jacks-in-the-box defy law
or order of any kind. They are taken in
charge by the tin soldiers and punished
with a "bath, shave and a hair-cut." Dur
ing a sudden storm the Noah's Ark people
float in, followed by the wooden soldiers
and the military band.
The question of the Queen again arises
and at the suggestion of the fairies a
mortal child is brought in to decide and
she selects the oldest doll of all. All the
entertainment they can conceive is then
offered the Queen till the stroke of the
clock warns them that the festivity is
over and the dolls are again transformed
to their normal condition and return au
tomatically to their shelves and cases.
The old toymaker again appears, ready
for work. He feels the electric current
of something in the air that he cannot
explain, while the familiar strains of an
old song come to him from the old clock.
What can be more beautiful than to
see these little wonder makers in their
garden of happiness? The dates are June
22. 23 and 24.
NATURE THE GREATEST OF MAGICIANS
liaws of Physical Life Apply Also to the Mind and Soul of Human Beings.
BT J. Li. JONES.
i ATURF. is the greatest of magicians.
Her works are all miracles. Sci
ence may explain them, but when
they are explained they are yet no less
miracles. When Moses saw a bush burn
ing and not consumed he only saw the
forces of nature at work as every in
telligent chemist sees them.
Every bush is a burning bush. Every
animal is on fire. We are all burning
alive. If we were not burning we would
not be alive, for it is the burning itself
that constitutes life. The fact that we
are alive is proof that we are on fire, and
the fires may be either sacred or profane.
Every part of the body is on fire, but
the lungs or lights are the main fur
naces, for purifying the blood by burn
ing It up. This Is the fundamental fact
In the chemistry of common life. The
heart is the pumping apparatus. It is the
head of the circulatory system. It pumps
the red blood through the arteries to
every part of the body. This blood is
burnt in the capillaries, that is, the cells
are broken up or decomposed. The tis
sues of the body then absorb and assimi
late those portions of the broken cells
that they need in their business. The
body is full of mouths (stomata); there
are millions of them. Each one cries for
food. They feed on the broken cells. No
wonder that life is a sell and that hun
ger Is everlasting.
The refuse from these broken cells Is
the black blood carried back by the veins,
pumped into the lungs and burnt again by
contact with the oxygen of the air. Like
a sawmill, the body burns its own refuse,
thus economizing force and utilizing
waste material. There are two burnings;
the terminal transformation in the capil
laries that corrupts and destroys the
blood, and the central transformation in
the lungs that renews it. Life, like the
phoenix, renews itself by burning Itself
up. We live by dying and die by living.
The fable of the phoenix and the story
of the burning bush are symbols that
illustrate the same truth, the most vivid
and vital of all the truths of existence,
the cross between death and life.
This Is the physical part of the pro
cess and is called chemistry, but there
Is something beyond this. The material
substances of the blood derived from the
food are transformed in the laboratory
of the brain into mental forces. This is
alchemy or magic, the spiritual corre
spondent of chemistry. Magic Is always
performed through metamorphosis or
change of form.
There Is a mental process In the ac
quirement of knowledge and wisdom that
corresponds exactly with the . physical
process in the assimilation of food. The
character which Is the mental and psy
chic body Is built up of the substances
of experience just as the physical body
is build up of the substances of food.
And . this character building is the con
struction of the temple of the immortal
body, the real masonry, of which the
modern Masonic societies have lost the
secret.
Thoughts and thought substances, be
liefs, habits, customs and opinions, are
mental foodstuffs, and they are cooked
and served up In the various institutions
devoted "to that purpose just as physical
food Is fixed up In the hotels ana rest
aurants. The people are truly the sheep
of the pasture, and they are fed in a
manner corresponding to that of feeding
stock or poultry. ,
The churchmen get their spiritual food
at the cathedrals and churches just as
they get their "creature comforts" at the
hotels and restaurants. The word min
ister means a servant. The clergy are
the servants, waiters and cooks. . Ihey
spend all week cooking up a sermon and
serve it on Sunday with appropriate ac
companiments. The people are fed and
filled, then they go home and eat again.
Hunger never ceases.
The publishing houses and printing of
fices are intellectual bakeries and cook
shops. The press aeents and reporters
are purveyors! of supplies. They get out
on the market and buy up all the fresh
news and some that Is not very fresh.
The editors are the cooks. They color
and flavor and spice it to suit the tastes
of their best-paying customers.
There are certain high officials whose
duty it is to cultivate the public taste
as there are others who prepare the de
signs for fashion plates months or years
in advance. The people are trained to
accept their beliefs and opinions from
the proper authorities, just as they ac
cept their clothes from high-class tailors
and milliners. The word habit means
either a suit of clothes or a set of opin
ions. Beliefs and opinions are mental
habits that we happen to have. The
word habit is from habeo (I have), and
means what wo have.
The people can thus be trained to be
lieve almost anything. Just as they are
trained to wear anything that is ordained
by the proper authorities and pronounced
to be fashionable. And as we are all
instructed under the head of etiquette to
eat whatever the cooks set before us and
pass no remarks and make no criticisms,
so also we are earnestly exhorted to be
lieve whatever the preachers and maga
zine writers tell us and to accept as
divine truth anything the Associated
Press gives out.
It Is quite immoral as well as unman
nerly to refuse anything or to ask ques
tions. The word morals originally meant
manners or customs. Whatever was cus
tomary was moral, and what was not
customary of course was immoral. The
same definition holds pretty good yet.
Whatever statement is accepted by the
majority must be admitted to be moral
and proper, while whatever it voted down
is for the same reason immoral and ex
ecrable. The word fiction means anything that
is fixed up. Everything we believe is
fiction. No matter whether it js true or
not, it has to be fixed up in shape to
serve. Everything that comes to the desk
or case Is stuff. The compositor gets
the same pay for working on the report
of a prizefight as on the sermon of a
bishop, or on one of my essays. It's all
stuff. The different tastes of readers re
quire a variety of stuff or stuffing.
There are four words that cover all
the processes of digestion of food or of
thought, and this means all the processes
of life. They are separation, selection,
assimilation and elimination. The word
digestion means carrying through. All
the business of the world comes under
the head of digestion. It has to be car
ried through or abandoned.
The food is broken up, separated, se
lected. Some parts are assimilated or
accepted, other parts are eliminated, re
jected. Assimilate means to make like.
The different organs' of the body select
particles that they like. These parti
cles are changed so as to be likened or
made like the organ or place into which
they are fitted. Those that cannot be
thus used are eliminated or thrown out.
This is the great law of universal econ
omy, the law of selection by which flow
ers, trees, animals, human bodies and
human societies live and grow.
There is no use trying to understand
political economy or any other kind of
economy without first comprehending
these four fundamental operations which
are going on all the time everywhere,
and without which life would be impos
sible. In fact, life is the constant inter
action of forces, and the secret of its
magic is the constant metamorphosis or
conversion of things into other things.
The vision of the burning bush was an
insight into the operation of the laws
of life.
The first step is the separation of the
elements. Then comes selection, which
is the same as election or intellection. It
is all a matter of choice or free will.
These words are all . derived from lego,
I choose. But the universe is so cun
ningly constructed, that the choice of

man is foreordained to work out the
destiny or fate of the world. Fate means
the tiling that is spoken, the WORD,
and this means the choice, the nominee.
The man that is the chosen one, is the
name that is named, the word that Is
Bpoken. The man and the word is the
same. It is a name to swear by. Con
jure is to swear. But conjure means
the Invocation of all the elements of
righteousness.
The selection of species in the animal
and vegetable world is the correspond
ing process to the election of saints or
Senators in the human world. It is c
matter of separation and selection or
choice. If the voice of the people was
the voice of God, they would select
saints instead of sinners for Senators.
But after their election I suppose they
become saints.

PORTLAND RAILWAY, LIGHT
AND POWER COMPANY
Bulletin No. 5
FROM WATERFALL TO CARWHEEL
If a question were asked the average, rider as to the source of
the propelling power for the electric cars, the answer would be
"Willamette Falls at Oregon City or Clackamas River." and he would
be very much surprised to learn that, as a matter of fact, only a
small part of the system receives its current directly from the
power house.
Most people are content to accent the motorman's pet name,
"Juice." as the best description of this mysterious power, and have
no idea whatever as to how it is generated or what happens to it
from the time it leaves the power-house up to the time it performs
the useful function of moving the cars.
However, It Is not a very complicated matter, but, on the con
trary, a very Interesting one, to follow the path of the curent from
Its beginning in the rushing waters of the rivers to the time that it
performs Its work.
When water power Is mentioned as a source of energy for driv
ing cars or machinery, or producing electric light, it is natural to
think of such power as costing nothing. Such an idea is erroneous
for, although the water and its fall are Nature's gift, the utilization
is often expensive. A glance at the massive dams and flumes, stone
and brick power and transformer houses and at the hundreds of
tons of concrete foundations wll show how much must be done In
utilizing the wonderful sources of water supply. .
Again, the rapid melting of snow in the mountains or the sudden
rainfall may raise the water to dangerous heights and actually re
duce the useful water power available, as when the back flow from
Colum'nla River raises the water at Oregon City and reduces the
available fall.
Or, after the Spring freshets, a long hot season, with Its conse
quent evaporation, will lower the flow of the river, when not
enough water is available to supply the turbines.
In such cases power must be generated by steam; and boilers,
engines and dynamos must be kept in readiness for use. thereby
tntailmg much Investment and pay-roll expense which otherwise
would not be necessary.
In Portland two sources of watet power are in use Willamette
Falls and Clackamas River. As reserves, steam plants costing many
thousands of dollars are maintained at Station "E" (-4th street and
Sherlock avenue), and at Station "F," on the East Side, both con
taining expensive electric and steam apparatus. Whenever the
water power fails for any reason, these steam plants are operated,
and must be constantly kept ready for an emergency.
The current generated at the power-house Is "alternating cur
rent." while the current used on the trolley wires is what Is known
as "direct current." It is impossible to distinguish between these
two currents in a nontechnical way, but the practical reason for
generating alternating current in the first place is that alternating
current can be transmitted a long distance at high voltage over a
small amount of copper, while the amount of copper necessary for
the distribution of direct current at low voltage would be so great
as to make the cost prohibitive. Therefore, the method adopted is
to divide the system up Into sections, in each one of which Is a
substation which receives the alternating current from the main
power-house and changes it to suit the requirements of the car or
electric light service.
From the generators In the main power-house the current passes
to the alternating current switchboard at 10,000 volts, thence to
transformers, where voltage is "stepped up" to 33,000 volts, from
which it is distributed to the respective substations located at dif
ferent parts of the system. The current travels over copper wires
supported on specially constructed porcelain Insulators of the high
est grade and capable of standing a strain of 50,000 volts.
After It reaches', the substations it passes through what Is
known as a "step-down" transformer, which reduces It from 33.000
volts to 2300 volts and passes It to the motor generators or rotary
convertors, which change it from alternating to direct current at
575 volts, the working pressure at which It is delivered to the
trolley wires. Other portions of the current pass into transformers
which reduce the pressure sufficiently for safe distribution through
out the city for electric light and power.
From the substations this power Is distributed to the respective
trolley sections by feeders, and tapped Into the trolley wire at
suitable distances. It then travels down the trolley pole and. by
cables concealed In the car. to the controller. From that It goes to
the motors, where It does its work in moving the car. and passes
on through the wheels to the track and so back to the substation
again.
To give an Idea of the Intricacy and .extent of the power system,
over 300 miles of wire are necessary for tiie transmission and dis
tribution of the current, in addition to over 400 miles of trolley
wires and connections and the great amount of complicated machin
ery at the power-houses.
When the car or electric light service is Interrupted In some sec
tion of the city by a mishap to any one of these complicated parts,
from the water wheels to the wiring and the motors in the cars,
you can now rorm a better estimate of the great care that has to be
taken in the operation ana maintenance of such a vast electric sys-
