NEW YORK, June 20. (Special.)
Ernesto Nathan, who has been
appointed by the King: of Italy
as commissioner-general to the Pan
ama Exposition, has returned from a
visit to San Francisco, where he made
some preliminary arrangements for the
Italian exhibit at the World's Fair
next year.
.Signor Nathan has the distinction of
btiiiB the first Hebrew to have been
elected to the office of Mayor of the
Holy City.".
The attitude of certain Roman
Catholic societies in announcing a. boy
cott on Italy's exhibits at the Panama
Pacific Exposition, because of Signor
Nathan's connection with it in a high
official capacity, is puzzling tho ex
Mayor exceedingly. It is' charged that
the boycott ts the outgrowth of an al
leged insult of the I'opc and the
Catholic Church by Signer Nathan.
Signor Nathan emphatically denies
any insult to the' Popo and to the
Catholic. Church and intimates that
those charges made against him come
from persons who have gotten politics
and religion mixed.
William M. Collier represented the
fnited states at tile international con
ference held recently to determine on
a form of government for Spitzbergen.
This group of seven islands was dis
covered by a Dutchman, in 159U. Eng
lish and ' Dutch went there , after
whales, but for many years the barren
looking land was claimed by no one.
Not so long ago it was found that a
great supply of coal existed on the
islands, and a company was formed to
mine ' it. the capital Invested being
$1,000,000. 3'hls money was subscribed
by Americans. Squatters from many
parts of the world, hearing of the
place went there and became a menace
to the American company's property.
MOST OF DISEASES OF HEART ARE
CORRECTED BY NATURE'S REMEDIES
Pains Over Region of Organ Are Not Located in Vital Engine, -but Come From Nervous Disorders of Various
Kinds Palpitation Not Serious, Though Often Alarming to the Patient Causes of the Trouble.
BY rH. FREDERICK M. KOSS1TEU.
THE heart is one of the vital organs
of the body that we cannot very
well do without. There are num.
rrous "one lungers" in the world, and
many who have been denuded of a
stomach, a kidney, a spleen, or of 15
or 20 feet of intestines, but there are
no anatomically heartless men and
women in tills world. A frog can live
without a brain but not without a
heart. There are plenty of persons
living who perhaps haven't more than
'an ounce cf brains" recently a child
died who was found "upon examination
to possess only rudiments of a cere
brum, but no one ever yet lived in
this world without a heart.
It used to be a current opinion that
if the heart were pricked with a
needle or even touched immediate death
would result, but this is not true. In
fact, the experiments of Dr. Carrell
and of other investigators show that
wounds of the heart can bo sewed up,
and that even repair work can be done
on the valves of the heart, without
causing death These experiments were
made on animals, but animal experimentation-
has. in many instances, been
the beginning of surgery that has saved
human lives. The classical work of
Dr. Senn years ago on intestinal
surgery upon dogs laid the foundation
for the wonderfully successful surgery
for intestinal troubles in our day. There
are many persons in Portland, and in
all parts of the world who are now
living, who would be dead had it not
been for these courageous investiga
tors. But so far the practical applica
tion of surgery to diseases of the
human heart is not hopeful.
Marvelous Povtern of the Heart.
While we recognize the heart as
one of the most vital of all the organs
of the body, the physician who is
famiilar with its diseases is impressed
-w ith its wontterful powers of adapta
bility and its marvelous compensatory
action. Disease, or excesses, or violence,
or emotions may terribly cripple this
vital engine, and it may seem about
to stop time and again, but given even
half a chance it begins to recover it
self, slowly gathers momentum and in
a very short time is doing efficient
work again People with both feet
hanging over the grave are at the same
time aole to be about the streets and
attend to their daily duties because the
heart has power to overcome the-nfost
liiscouraging and dangerous symptoms.

The action of the heart is one of the
most wonderful devices of the vital
economy, out of it flow "the issues
of life." It surely is a wise provision
of nature that we do not have ,direct
control over this organ, for if this were
the case many a heart would cease to
beat long before it does.
The heart's action is directly affected
by the emotions, by poison produced
within the body or by drugs taken by
mouth, or given otherwise; by at
mospheric pressure, and by disease. The
emotions have a tremendous influence
over the heart's action and in making
its work light or heavy. The depress
ing emotions, as worry, fear and grief,
have a direct effect. Fright will set
the heart to beating violently, until it
"almost comes into the mouth." Pro
longed grief and a "broken heart'Kdo
have a direct influence upon the
pulsating physical heart and to its dis
advantage. ComprnHatlon of Heart Muscle.
Ill certain forms of disease, the
heart is so affected by the poison manu
factured and circulating: in the blood
that the valves and the muscular walls'
become diseased, an actual structural
change takes place within the valves,
and an organic heart disease results.
This condition may bo. brought about
by prolonged auto-tntoxtcation ex
tending over a period of years, by the
use of alcohol and tobacco; by heavy
strain and lifting; by over physical
training; by acute inflammatory rheu
matism and other acute diseases.

Lord Eversley celebrated his 82d

Ho came across to test the comforts of
the steamship Aquitania and to get a
glimpse of New lork after many years.
He came to New York- first in 1S53 on
the Niagara of the Cunard line, a side
wheeler. This ship' could be put on the
boat deck of the Aquitania. In 1867
Lord Eversley came over again, this
time on the Cuba of the Cunard line.

together and by establishing a partial
dam, prevent the blood from making
an easy exit when the heart contracts
to expel it; or the valves may become
retracted and their guy-ropes short
ened; or the heart may dilate, thus
preventing the complete closing of the
valves, so that when the heart con
tracts some of the blood flows back
ward in a direction opposite to the
normal current. This chango In the
structure may become dangerous and
death would follow quickly if nature
did not come to the rescue.
If the blood is held back by obstruc
tions, the heart compensates for this,
almost perfectly at times, by thicken
ing its walls and making more power
ful contractions. If the left side of
the heart becomes enlarged and begins
to give out, the right side takes the
burden by enlarging to prevent an ac
cumulation of fluids in the lungs, or
both sides of the heart may enlarge
in order to carry on- the vital process
of pumping the blood to all parts of
the system. -
This change is universally known as
compensation. It is nature's physio
logical method of making a diseased
organ effective to carry on the pro
cesses of life. '
Paius In Reariou of Heart. '
Many regard a pain as a warning of
impending danger. It is a matter of
daily observation by physicians that
people are much more alarmed by a
pain in the region of the heart than
by one in the abdominal cavity. But
the pain below the waist line may be
a very serious matter, whereas the pain
in the region of the heart is seldom
an indication of danger.
Host of the pains in the left side and
over the heart are neuralgic pains in
the fifth and sixth intercostal nerves
which have absolutely no connection
with the heart and never' cause any
heart trouble and never "strike into the
heart." Of course, a sudden shooting,
stabbing pain in the left side with more
pain if one attempts to get a good
breath is alarming to say the least,
and the first thoughts are of impend
ing danger, but there is no danger from
such pains. It is these pains that lead
many people to think they must have
some heart disease, but these are not
heart pains. There is no other pain
like the real heart pain that is present
in angina of the heart. Persons who
have had this attack of pain say that
the heart feels as though it were being
tightened up in a vise. This is about!
the only dangerous heart pain there is. I
Organic diseases of the heart usually!
develop insidiously and without pain
or marked symptoms. From whatever
standpoint we wish to view organic or
degenerative diseases of the heart to
day, statistics show that these diseases
are - on the increase, particularly
among people more than 40 years of
age.
Our modern high tension and man
ner of living no doubt haa much to do
with this increase of heart diseases.
Some authors say that acute inflam
atory rheumatism is responsible for at
least half of the diseases of the heart.
This 'no doubt Is high. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, pneumonia, typhoid fever
and other acute diseases often lay the
foundation for organic heart diseases.
Heart disease that develops late in life
is more dangerous than when occurring
earlier in life.
There are few, if any, symptoms
while the heart is in good compensa
tion and for this reason people seldom
know at first that they have any or
ganic trouble; it is usually discovered
by the physician In a general examina
tion. Thousands with organic heart
trouble have gone through life with
good compensation, have had very little
trouble with their hearts, and have
died from some other, disease. If com
pensation begins to fail It may be es
tablished again by proper treatment,
but there may come a time when noth
ing can restore it.
When compensation begins to fail
various symptoms appear, as palpita
tion, shortness of breath, swelling of
the feet and legs and. perhaps, some
cough and headache. These all are. in
creased by exertion.
When the heart action is bad a per
son becomes much like a sponge, for
the tissues are filled with fluids from
the blood, and the other organs are
saturated. The heart is not strong
enough to force the blood through the
tiny vessels in the tissues and so the
watery fluids leak out and form what
is commonly called dropsy. By proper
means this can. all be corrected.
Those who are getting along in years
and know they have organic heart dis
ease should avoid hurry, straining, vi
olent work and exertion, worry, alco
hol, tobacco, over-eating in other
words, they should live in moderation
In every way. Those with heart dis
ease who know how and when to put
on the brakes will have .little trouble
so far as failure of compensation is
concerned. Many 'dislike to give up for
a time and go to bed and in this lies
their undoing.
. Palpitation of the Heart.
Palpitation of the heart is a symp
tom, not a disease, but whatever it
may be so far as the patient Is con
cerned he regards it fes & most' dis
tressing and annoying condition. '
Some individuals of a nervous,make
up have attacks, of "nervous- palpita
tion" In which there is a feeling-that
the heart is beating very rapidly when
examination reveals an almost normal
ly pulsating . heart, .or. to "put it in
another way, there, is 'no' definite or'
constant relation between the . heart
pulsations and the subjective sensa
tions which assail, the patient. Others
of a nervous disposition have nervous
or Irritable hearts, and the slightest
excitement, mental or physical, shock,
sudden news, good .or bad, sudden- ex
pectation, and various and sundry emo
tions will set the heart on at a lively
rate.
Many of these heart disturbances are
purely psychogenetic, that is, the -actual
symptoms, or the sensations of- heart
trouble are based upon purely ground
less fears. . To quote Professor ijtrum-
pell. of Vienna; It may be said with
out reserve that the number of cases
of 'imaginary heart disease . is de
cidedly greater than the number of
cases of actual organic -heart disease.
But whether one- has a "nervous'
heart or not the fact remains that pal
pitatlon is common. and the heart may
be beating at a very rapid rate irom
125 to 180 beats a minute. It nutters.
These attacks are usually of very short
duration.
The following-may be; mentioned as
some of the causes of palpitation ' of
the heart: Nerve exhaustion, follow
ing some prolonged sickness, worry and
fears, hysteria, indigestion- and gas
in the stomach, tea, coffee, alconoi
cigarettes,- exophthalmic goiter, too
much worshiping at the., shrine . of
Venus, and organic diseases.
While palpitation is most alarming
at times it can be said that it is
seldom dangerous, and this assurance
should have a calming influence on all
fears. If the cause .can be known, it
usually can be removed. During an
attack there should be complete bodily
rest in a semi-reclining position and
apply ice or cold1 compresses r to the
region of the heart witn neat to me
feet if they are -cold. Valerian helps
to quiet the nervous. It is well to
bear in mind that, in palpitation,' the
heart will not stop beating even If
the patient faints away.

Reeellretloo of Mj Boyhood, by Jesse Ap

It is seasonable at this time when
old honored pioneers are in the pub
lic mind and force us who are younger
to think with increasing emphasis on
the forces that have made Oregon
state, to tell, of this little book, lu
paper covers, modestly entitled "Kt-c
ollections of My Boyhood." The pages
are 99 and although the book Is small
nothing more simply eloquent, more
interesting in this line has been pub
lished for many years. It has all the
charm of a novel and yet is instinct
with actual events that have happened
and have passed into the history of
Oregon.
What a glorious pioneer heritage tne
book discloses, and what would we of
this rubber-tire age of 1914 not do to
cast off our city clothes and don more
useful garments, to live in the more

Ing on the Osage River in Missouri,
The Applegates came across the plains
in the year 1S43, In the party in which
J. W Nesmith, afterward United States
Senator from Oregon, was a member.
When the party halted at Walla
Walla, our author has this to say about
the incident: "The train which arrived
here at this time was a detachment of
the company which came out to Oregon
this season and numbered 10 families
and probably 20 wagons. The entire
emigration of 1843 has been computed
at about a thousand souls. The detach
ment included the three Applegate fam
ilies; families of three brothers,
Charles, Lindsay and Jesse. I call to
mind also the names of Alexander Mc
Clellan. William Wilton, William Doke,
Robert Smith, Benjamin Williams, Mr,
Clyman, John G. Baker, Elijah Millican,
Thomas Naylor, Almoran Hill, Miles
Cary and Daniel Holnian.
"Besides the oxen of the teams, there
was a. small herd of stock cattle. Jesse
Applegate had probably 30 head and
others had a few cows and calves. There
were also a few horses. .The train of
wagons corraled for the last time about
one hundred yards, so it appears to me,
up the river from the fort and very
near where the Walla Walla River
flows into, the Columbia.
"A . train of. wagons with their once
white, now torn, grease and dust-
stained covers, parked on the bank of
the Columbia River, was a novel spec
tacle. Such had never been seen there
bofore. The faithful oxen, now sore
.necked, sore-footed and jaded, which
had marched week after week, and
month after month, drawing these
wagons with their loads from the Mis
souri River to the Columbia, had done
their task, and were unhitched for the
last time, and I hope, all recovered
from their fatigue and lived to enjoy
a long rest on the banks, 'Where rolls
the Oregon and haars no sound save
his own dashing.'
"Mr. McKinley was in charge of tlie
post of -Walla Walla, and was very
kind and accommodating to tlie emi
grants. There were many Indians here:
bucks, squaws and papooses, and these
were often visitors at our camp. Home
of the bucks talked English fairly well,
and all were clever at sign language.
There had been at this place mission
establishments, both Catholic and Pro
testant, and this trading potft had been
for several years in tills part of the
country. So" the Indians were to some
extent accustomed to modify their man
ners. and dress. .. . .
.On page S8, we read: "Where we
should locate? was the all-absorbing
topic of conversation at this camp in
the woods. It seemed to be difficult
to decide where to settle down in such
a vast unappropriated wilderness. We
were then actually encamped on the
site of the city of Portland, but there
was no prophet with us to tell of the
beautiful city that was to take the place
of that gloomy forest. From this camp

poling and others oir shore towing,
brought- the boats safely through the

tho bank of the Klackamas River. The
second day we reached Tum-Chuk, and
the boats were hauled around the falls
to the river above by a French-Cana
dian with one yoke of long-horned
steers. We made camp on the east
shore nearly opposite the main cata
ract. There were less than a dozen
houses at Tum-Chuk including a tin
shop, blacksmith shop, sawmill, and
probably a grist mill. We spent one
night at this place. In the morning
two or three Kanakas helped to launch
the boats above the falls and to clear
the rapids. In the evening of the same
day we landed at Champocg and re
mained there one night in a long shed
one end of which was a bin of
peas. I never - saw our boats again.
nd do not remember how they were
disposed of. From Champoeg we trav
eled by land. The baggage was hauled
on a cart drawn by one yoke of oxen.
I think the cart was hired from a
French settler. Mrs."Charlcs Applegate
and four small children rode in the
cart while the rest tf our party fol

yachts In Kngland, though he has had
no experience In an AmrlraV cup
race. Great secrecy Is being main
tained reKunlhnr tho desltcns of the
boats, both In England and here, and
although nothing is known about the
Shamrock IV, as the challenger will
ba cu 1 11, except that she will not be
over 75 feet long on the water line,
in all probability she will follow very
closely the modern typo evolved under
our rule. With no previous experience
in our measurement rule. It Is not
likely that Nicholson will tnko many
liberties with It. . What tho chances
are of success. It Is yet too early to
predict with any degree of assurance.
It Is extremely likely, however, that
the reult will not be much different
from the races of the past. It must be
remembered that Nicholson Is building
for the llrst time under our rule, and
will be up against designers who huve
had nine or ten years' experience with
It. lu addition to this handicap, there
Is tho fact that three boats are being
built from different deMmicrs In t htf
country, from which the fastest can
be picked, .making his tusk a still
moet. difficult one. However, Hhamrock
IV hits only to meet one of the bout.
and If challenger and defender are
evenly mutched, hunt) ling, luck and
weather will play an important part
In deciding the outcome. Whatever
the result, may the bet boat win."

Be that as It may, the author of
'Punch and Judy" is more like Dickens
than any other of the liU4 Kngllth nov

the lowly poor, the same delicate hu

wonderfully old-fashioned children.
