A log Is slowly consumed upon the hearth until nothing remains hut a &cap of filmy ash, hut the light and Ut-ll'3 Ul lllilL 1UH UIU UUL 1US1, Tho life which was in the tree de posited in that log certain forces, ;and tho fire has liberated these forces in other modes of activity, The whole universe is a vast area of ceaseless, indestructible energy, of which llfo is the highest type. "Within the last half dozen years science has emphasized still another Swet, namely, that the more powerful fcfforce is the less visible it is to hu lan sight, tho less susceptible of re ogrdtion. Tho energy of radium, for xamjvlc, is so tremendous that the huulrcdth part of a grain of radium Cropped into Its own weight of water will change the temperature of that water from the freezing point to the polling point in a single hour. It is of course admitted that this tloes not prove the immortality of the Individual soul by any means, hut It does prove tho indestructibility of iile Religion has surely gained a magnificent trophy from science when science tells her that life Is an Indestructible element in the unl-cerso. THE NAME. The total vote which was cast on Che Question of naming the proposed ltidir city on Coos Bay was six hun dred and thirty-eight. Of these votes the name Empire received a very r f pronounced majority, its vote aggre gating three hundred and seventy Kve. The vote of Coos Bay, of Coos hay and Coos, was one hundred and thirty-six. Those who voted were therefore mostly interested in the name Empire Etna in all probability the name Em pire will he carefully considered by "any committee which may hereafter be charged with the selection of a name for the cities on Coos Bay. The proposition to take this vote vrns suggested to The Times by inter ested citizens. 'ijhey evidently thought It was time to learn what Coos Bay peoplo desired. The fctthools and tho families were all ex pected to take part and tho polls wero held ppon for three weeks to enablo lithem to show their sentiment. It Is possible that eight per cent of tho population has voted. Tho vote is laussestivo, but It is not decisive. However, it helps to make it plain that tlio hour for consolidation for any purpose is still remote. Tho creator City of Coos Bay Is not yet In sight. Not that tho vote on name has alone served to show that fact, but that tho few largo interests which aro to bo directly and lmme fdatcly honofltted aro utterly indif ferent to political action looking to a union of the cities and cooperative financial aid through equal taxation for tho harbor. Tho slow methods must ho endured, In all likelihood, until private activity chauges them. It has been said that tho future of tho municipalities on Coos Bay will bo decided by ono of two methods. Tho first of these is Absorption jwhlch means that one city will so far outstrip tho others In wealth and population that it will naturally ab sorb and take In all its littlo neigh bors. Tho other is Consolidation which means that all will unlto vol untarily and work cooperatively for the common good. Tho method of consolidation Is tho ono which com mends Itself to progressive minds, but ahsorptlou will accomplish tho sarno end. sooner or inter the, great consolidated, expanding city will demand results and will di rect Jta destiny. GOOD EVENING. Happiness, perhaps, comes by tho grace of heaven, but tho wearing of a happy counten- ance, the preserving of a happy mein,. is a duty, not a blessing. Bliss Carman He Never Amounted to Much. Ho was gentle and kind, he would plan half the day For an unlooked-for act that would please you some way; He would sit up all night with a friend who was ill, And to do you a favor would work with a will But he never amounted to muchi There was something about him that got to your heart; It was plain that he never was play ing a part, And that he was a friend who was lasting and true But he never amounted to much. All the boys he grew up with went rising to fame; There was some who made money, and all made a name; Art and music and letters, In law or finance, Every one of the rest made the most of his chance But he never amounted to much. Why, there wasn't a child hut would come to his arms, For of jingles and stories he knew all the charms; Yes, and even the dogs in the street used to leap At his hand with a hark that was laughingly deep But ho never amounted to much. And nobody could tell why he had such a hold On the rich and tho poor an the young and the old, He was always on hand for some kind littlo deed, He Instinctively knew when a friend was In need But he never amounted to much. They have folded his hands, they have laid him to rest And the church couldn't hold all tho friends he possessed; And fair memories mingled their smiles with the tears Of the ones who recalled the good deeds of his years But he never amounted to much.

The ab sence of a comma seems to throw out a double meaning, to this unique placard. A Redlands society woman gave an informal reception at her house, hut the printer made It an "Infernal" reception In the paper, and this is why he is seeking a more congenial climo for a few weeks. He took her hand. "A heart flush," he whispered. "Isn't It time you went?" she murmured. "Not with this hand," said he, "I'm going to stay." Suddenly a great tumult injected Itself into tho room. "Are, eh?" cried the old man. "Well I'm a-golng to call you!" Idle curoslty is often very busy. Any height reached at the ex pense of another's downfall can never he permanent. There are some men on Coos Bay that should be taken into dry dock and have the barnacles scraped off. The latest version is so live every day that you can look any d n man In tho face and tell him to go to Portland. A North Bend man says football is demoralizing. The kind that Marshfield showed North Bend cer tainly was this year. "Oysters aro quiet," says a mark et report in a Portland paper. It is very well known that a noisy noise annoys an oyster. It Is possible, and many Mnrsh- fleld men do Servo two masters whiskey and tobacco. Tho North Bend man who before marriage claimed to have a mind of his own discovered after marrlago that his claim had been jumped. AVanted tho Drink Anyway. i Tommy, after going to bed, became thirsty, or thought he did. Ho called out: "Ma I want a drink." The mother's voice answered back: "Tommy, you go to sleep." Tommy grunted, turned over and was silent for ten minutes, then again: "Ma, I want a drink." "Tommy, you go right to sleep," was the reply. Intense silence again for ten min utes and then: "Say, ma, I want a drink." "Tommy, If you don't go right to sleep I'll come and spank you." More silence, this time for about two minutes, and then: "Say, ma, when you come to spank me won't you bring me a drink?" A. 1. Houseworth, Physician and Surgeon.
