Everyone has heard of rocking stones masses of rock so delicately poised as to move backward and for ward upon the slightest impulse. There are many such stones scattered throughout the world, but the ma jority of them are mere marbles compared with the famous rocking stone of Tandil, in South America. This giant among rocking stones weighs no less than 700 tons and is situated in a low range of hills some 250 miles south of the city of Buenos Ayres. It is composed of granite and contains 130 cubic meters. It is in the shape of a paraboloid, four meters high and five meters in di ameter at the base. The stone rocks upon a knob of rock beneath, which fits closely into a socket-like hollow in the great boulder itself. The ac tion of the elements through count less centuries has succeeded in wear ing away the softest part of the stone, leaving behind only the hard er gritted core. The stone is so deli cately poised that it can be made to crack a walnut without crushing the kernel. While cornstalks grow to immense height in Oregon, the merit lies In the size of the ears. The heathen is visible beneath the veneer of the Japanese.

Obituary. Mary Zulieme Gray was born In Lane county, Oregon, April 12, 1886, and died at 1 o'clock in the morning of September 13, 1912, after a long lingering illness. She was able to be about until five months ago, since which time she had been confined to her bed. She realized her condition and was perfectly- reconciled to the coming change. She was well known in Ashland, having been a student of the state normal for a number of months. She afterwards attended the Mount Angel Academy, making a specialty of mu sic, then spent a year in Landon Con servatory of Music, Dallas, Texas. This was in 1908 and 1909; but her health breaking, she left this schooi the end of the school year and was not well again afterwards. She was married to R. D.

She leaves a husband, a mother, one sister, Mrs. Keeney, and four brothers. She was a member of the Christian church of Ashland. One of the chief elements of the character of this departed ones as we remember it, was cheerfulness. She always met her friends and every one with a smile, in school work she was never found complaining about anything or anybody; she was loyal to her teachers and to her school. The funeral services were at the residence of her mother, on Eighth street, East Ashland, at 10 o'clock Sunday, conducted by Rev. W. T. Vna Scoy. A large number of friends and neighbors of the family attended. The Interment was in Mountain View cemetery.
