The finger print method of Identiflca tlon seems to be coming to the front. It has long been used as an adjunct to the bertlllion system of measurement. and now. we are told that in England it is superseding that system, being re garded as both simpler and surer. The trouble with any meauremfnt system Is that the measurement of the same man taken by different persons or at different ages will differ slightly, and so the Identification may fail. Flngor prints on the other hand, tell their own ritory and are subject to no "personal equation;" while their system of ridges and whirls remain the same from ln- A8K THE AGENT FOR TICKETS VIA f AfTORlA T:ttm For Portland and!
