Freeland, of Kugene, class orator. . G. Jones, In his address on the "Higher Philosophy of the Scottish Kite Degrees at the cathedral yesterday morning, covered the phases of man's lire. He said in part: "If we find" comfort in the whole some illusions of life, let us encour age these Illusions to the end of our days. Old age without illusions Is tragedy, with death only as the 'prom ise of the future. A drift from the illusive in life is always toward the cynical and misanthropic. The end of all knowledge reaching for the ulti mate analysis of human nature is mis ery and unhappiness. 'Live and learn,' paraphrased into an axiom of life that may often be used for our guidance, is Live and forget. Danger Is There. "There is danger in sinking; too deep in the well of knowledge. We see the end of hope and promise of life only when our ideals of living vanish into thin air. An illusion of life that af fords us comfort may merge nearer into the realism of a truth than we picture, even in our fondest fancies." At the meeting of the class yester day afternoon Mr. Jones was chosen an honorary member. A banquet and reception to the new members, on whom degrees had been conferred during the three days of the reunion, followed the closing ceremo nies of the work last night. Her Son's Professor.

She admitted to a reporter recently that she has de signed house plans since she was a child. The bungalow In the White Moun tains of New Hampshire, where she and her husband pass their Summers, Is of her own planning, and is said to com bine beauty and simplicity with gen uine convenience and comfort. The decorations and color schemes are her own. The Indian room has excited much comment, with rugs, baskets, cushion covers of red and black and white, 'standing out in crisp, cool con trast with the creamy walls and hard wood floors, built of the native wood. Madame Powell says she is proud of the fact that she has inherited from her German-Hungarian mother not only musical talent, but a gift for making plants grow and thrive. She is a great lover of flowers, and often has said half in jest, half in earnest, "Should anything happen to my fiddle fingers so that I could no longer play for the POST IB VALUED OR. I.ECOKNT TELLS PHYSICIANS MUCH LEARNED OF DISEASE. Examinations Also Are Considered Im portant In Determining Causes af Death That Mystify. Knowledge of pathological anatomy, which is that part of medical science dealing with alterations produced by disease, is the most important part of th. tralnlnc of good physicians, ac- tn Dr. E. R.

The speaker reviewed the causes of death of 685 persons who ded sud denly in Chicago in a period lof four public, I would undertake to cultivate flowers for them.' She doesn't know why, but there seems to be an instinct in her hands that enables her to succeed with plants. She knows she ought to wear gloves when gardening, but she man ages to forget to put them on, and finds herself patting the soft earth on digging in it, regardless of finger nails. As a child, she had an abiding curiosity to know the wild flower, and their families by name. When visit ing Honolulu In the Hawaiian Islands, she was much interested in some mar velously beautiful varieties of hibiscus, which Montague Cooke, the distin guished scientist, had developed from the native plant. The hibiscus grows there In pro- fusion, be it said. One particularly handsome specimen of a deep pink, shading to a delicate lemon tint, was . her choice of all the big bowlful of 80 different varieties.

He emphasized the need in cities the slse of Portland of competent post mortem work to furnish the real ex planation of death, one regarded as final in medicine.
