f Weekly Conrallis Gazette, FKIDAY MORNING, MAY I, 1885. OFFICIAL PAPER FJR 'BENTON COUNTY Entered at the Pogtoffice at Corvaliis Oregon, as seebad-cfiuB matter. A movement was on foot at Chatta nooga to tender General Grant free use during his convalescence of a pri vate hotel on Lookeut Mountain, iu sight of the b tttle-grounls of Ciicka rnanga, Mission bridga, Lookout moun tain and Cliatanooga. Notwithstanding th hard tiiiaas prevailing all over the whole country and especially at this place, Corvaliis is gradually making strides ahead in some very substantial and important improvements. Besides a large num ber of srnall dwellings a few of the most prominent and costly among others, which are being made in the town, are Messrs. Montgomery & Bojme's lanre livery stable on Main Street near where Sel King's stables burned. The building is a very sub stantial one, fifty fuet wide by one hundred feet long and about twenty feet high. It is built of a solid baloon frame with a wall of solid brick t be built all around on the outside, and a goed substantial tin roof s as to have good protection from fire. Another is the dwelling house being built by Mr. E. E. Cooper on 7th Street, cf which the first story is brick with the next story and a half of wood, and it is to be a good substantial dwelling. Mr. L. G. Kline is also preparing to build a nice residence en 8th Street during the piesent summer. The Ccr vallis Water Works, a corporation or ganized by seme of our enterprising "residents, is putting in large and im proved water works capable of afford ing water at all times of the day and night, sufficient for all city purposes and to supply residents of the town. A largs reservoir is to be used while the works are to be arranged on the Holey system, so as to pump di rectlv into the six-inch mains when necessary. Many other Valuable ini provemsuts about the city are strong proof of a steady and hearty prosperity- THE WEIGHT AND STATURE Of MANKIND FROM INFANCY TO OLD AOB. According tp thorough investigation it has been ascertained that the aver age we;ght of the male infant at birth "lbs., avoirdupois; and that of the fe male is not quite. Gh lbs. The maxi mum weight of the male 140i lbs. is attained at the age of 40; that of the female nearly 124 lbs. is, not attained until 50, from which ages they decline afterwards; the male to 127 i lbs. the female to 100 lbs. The full-grown adult is 20 times as heavy as a new born infant. In the first year he trip les his weight, afterwards the growth proceeds in geometrical progression, so that if 50 infants in their first year weigh 1,000 lbs. they will in the sec end year weigh 1,210 lbs.; in the third 1331 lbs., in the fourth 1464 lbs. the term remaining very constant up to the ages of 11 and 12 in females and twelve and thirteen in males; a here it muse be n".u ly doubled; after wards it may be continued, and will be found nearly correct up to the age of 18 or 19 when the growth proceeds very slowly. At an equality of age the njale is generally heavier than the teinals. Towards the age of 12 years 9ii!y, an individual of each sex, has the same weight. The mile attains she maximum weight about the age jf 40, and begins to lose it very sensi bly towards bO. At 0 he loses about 13.2323 lbs., and the stature is dimin ished 2. 75 J inches. Females attain their maximum weight about the ago of 50. The mean weight of a mature man is 4 104 lbs., and of an average woman 94 lbs. Iu old age they losi about 12 or 14 lbs. Men weigh most at 40, wo men at 50, and begin to lose weight at (60. The mean weight of both sexes in old age is that which they had at 19. When the male and female have assumed their complete develop ment, they weigh almost exactly 20 times as much as at birth, while the stature is about 3.1 times greater. Children lose weight during the first three days after birth, at the age of a week they sensibls increase, after one year they triple their weight, then they require C years to double their weight and 13 to quadriple it. B3XBSTI?! MIWSLLANY. A recent dispitch announces the fact that Mr. Home, edii.W of the Meridian Mississipi Afetcury, one of the leading democratic papers of that State, without consulting Mr. Dtvis, forwarked to President Cleveland a petition asking for the pardon of Jet farsou Davis. The petition declares: "This act would relieve the South from a great deal of niortifi 3:ition and distress. That Mr. Davis deserves his pardon on account of his military and .civil services rendered to his country, no v at peace. Mr. IIrne farther says, "The southern people trusted you Mr. President, and they will call you blessad if you grant this petition. It will be the last act of clemency that will wipe out the only remaining ves tige of the war.'' Before us we hav3 a copy of Mr. Home's paper allude 1 to in the dis patch. T'.is papar is dated September 11th 18. : and in its editorial columns ha An.l ..it- ,v i r Vio wal! IMnn' a 1 wj u.i I iwhj ..v.. ..... . i - to consider under tha circumstances the following, to-wit: "There are many men who now affiliate and act with the Democratic pirty in the South from necessity as it ware who are not Damocrats and who do not en dorse the great and fundamental rules of the party taught by Madison and Jefferson, and permanently among these is tho stat.es rights doctrine, of secessiou. This great state rights principal was enunciate I by Virgiuia, in her protest against the "Alien and Sedition laws," in 1793 and vindicated by Mr. Madison in his unanswerable report in 1799. The question of State Rights has been a question that h. s divided the people cf this country ever since the foundation of the government in 1789. The Democratic party as serting the rights of the states and in sisting that the Union was a compact betv.'een sovereign States, limited to certain purposes which are plainly sot forth in the constitution: That all powers not rested in the Federal Gov ernment by specific grant were re served by the states ana among these was the sovereign right of secession."

M. Xolan. Sir Sitnens has for several months been quietly testing in his own house the value and durability of electrical storage batteries. Daring the day he has charged the batteries by means of a small half librse power engine, and at night has had an accumulaciou of elec tricity sufficient to supply forty iacai -descent lamps for five er six hours. The working of the batteries has bten very satisfactory. A committer w,s appointed by the British Associiticn for the Advance reient of Sjieuce several years ago for the purpose of ascertaining whether meteoric dust could be found on the earth. Such dust, in the form of spherical particles of iron, has since been obtained from the snow of the Himalayies, at a height of 13,400 feet, and at a distance of fourteen miles from any human habitation. The rapid development of botanical srieuca in recent years is well shown by a comparison of the suceossive lists of plants cemplicd during the la3t cen tury and a half. The number of gen era of flo .vering plants given by Sin naeus in 1737 was 887; by the same author in 1764, 1189; by Jussieu in 1789, 1707; by Ea llicher in 1843, about 6400; and by Bentham and Hooker in 1833, 7535. If the last list had bien prepared accoraing to the views of Eudlicher, it is thought that the number of genera wonld have rewcha 1 at least 10,000. ' Beutham and Hooker have given an estimate of the number of sp'jcios belonging to each genus, making a total of about 100,000 species of flowering plants now known to botanists. Since 1876 the marine life of the. Holland coast has been studied from a building so arranged that it may be readily moved from time to time. This novel zoological station was locat ed at Helder during thp first year; was transported to Vlissingen for the sec ond year's work; and has since been established at Bergen-op-Zoom. The zoologists of the station have made im portant researches concerning the ani mals of the North Sea, and at their last location have given special atten tention to the edible oyster aud its culture. Hsrr Holtz has found that steel tubes retain more that twice as much, magnetism tx" steel reds, and are there fore better for permanent magnets. An Italian writer asserts that some minutes before the first shook of the great earthquake was felt in the island of Ischia symptoms of terror were ex hibited by the domestic animals, rab bits, birds, fishes and even ants and reptiles. The correspondence of Holmen of the Oregonian wbieh appealed from Salem in that paper one day last week and contains comment on the condi tion of the State Agricultural College was certainly made without due con sideration. The bill past at the last session of the legislature locating the College at Corvaliis and provi lieg for the erection of a $25,000 building for the school in no way interferes with the management of the school or the drawing of its funds. The new law did not repeal any of the laws which were on the statute book prior to the session of the last legislature but left all of such laws in force as they exist ed before; hence if at any time author ity existed for drawing warrants for the State Agricultural College funds for the use of he school tho same au thority exists to-day because the new law left all of those provisions as they were previous to the new law.
