. (Portland Tel'fram.)
The spectacle of a man but 39 year
of ace and with hair, beard and imia
tachs whits as the hirsute of an octo
genarian and even whiter than mri, l
an unusual one, but auch greeted Chief
Drputy Cotiney Clerk Arthur C. Han
croft at the registration counter this
morning and expressed a desire to reg
ister. . '
lie gave hli name a 11. Maaoratsky,
aid he waa born In Kleff, RushIo, and
waa a merchant by occupation, with
address at 10Mi North Third street.
Thla waa nothing unusual, nor was the
sight of man with white hair and
beard one to excite Interest, but when
In answer to a stereotyped, question,
"age V the applicant replied that he
waa 89, the genial chief deputy nearly
fell under the counter. However, Mr,
Muxoratsky took an oath to that effect,
and to that fact the records now bear
witness.' - J-
A few other questions of a personal
nature, but having nothing to do with
teglstratlon, elicited the surprising fact
that this old-young man'a hair turned
white in a single day. It was believed
to be due "to fright, he said. ' He was
badly frightened once about five years
ago, and shortly after that his hair be
came a me anven snow in one aay.
No. he said, he had not been sick at
the time, and the only explanation ever
effcred hlin by any one who pretended
to know, waa that the hair lost Ita
color through the mysterious influence
of extreme fright. Another surprising
thing In connection with Mr. Maxor
atnky's case is that before thla mystic
change wa wrought his hair waa
bluck. ' ' ,
Scientists are unable to account for
the strange phenomenon of hair losing

which are filled with pigmentary gran

during the past few days, and their
compatriots in other lines of work will
raise similar amounts. The money wi'l
be sent to 8. Ban, the Japanese banker
of Portland. ; The intention is to ran
150,000 from Japanese residentd
throughout the state.
Y. Matsui, of 8. Ban's Japanese
bank, says that $15,000 ' has already
been received from voluntary contribu
tions and forwarded to Tokio. cir
cular letters explanatory to the situa
tion have been sent to every Japanese
resident of Oregon, and voluntary con
tributions to the fund are coming in

This fund is for the support of the
Japanese army in the field, the main
tenance of afflicted families of Jap
anese soldiers and sailors who may be
killed In the conflict and for the direct
use, of the government at Tokio.
''This Is but the beginning," said Mr.
Matsul. "If the war continues any
