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."

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

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.
