When boys, Mr. Flexner and Dr. Flex

whose discovery Is accounted one of the
most 'valuable yet made In medical sci
ence. As a lad, Dr. Flexner was not
accounted of superior Intelligence, said
Mr. Flexner, yet he always worked at
things in a murmur different from other
members of the family.
"We did not think he was especially
bright when he was a boy," said Mr.
Flexner, "although we knew that he
had a mind acting Independently of
others.
"While a close student, he did not
seem brilliant, yet his later work has
revealed that he Is possessed of a
strong, active mind which glories in re
search work. We used to think that he
spent a great deal of time doing things
that were not worth while. But he
has gone far ahead of others since leav

NO LINN DISPLAY
AT THE STATE FAIR
Believing Money Better Used

Can Come After Them.
on
(Special Dipt-h to Tbt Journal.)
Albany, Or., Aug. 7. Linn county will
not be represented at the state fair 'this
year. W. H. Downing, president of the
State Fair association,' has been in the
city conferring with the county court
with regard to an exhibit. The matter
may be reconsidered bv the county court
at the coming session, but County Judge
Stewart says there is small prospect
of any favorable action being taken.
The county officers believe the money
that would be expended In an exhibit
would be of greater benefit to the citi
zens if used in Improving the highways
and bridges. There seems to be a senti
ment that small profit 1 derived from
these displays. Linn county has the
goods and believes that those Interested
will come and buy them.
MAN-A-LIN

MAN-A-LIN Is An
Excellent Remedy
for Constipation
There are many ailments di
rectly dependent upon consti
pation, such as biliousness, dis
colored and pimpled skin, in
active liver, dvspepsia, over
worked kidneys and headache.
Remove constipation and all of
these ailments disappear.
MAN-A-LIN can be relied
upon to produce a gentle ac
tion of the bowels, making pills
and drastic cathartics entirely
unnecessary.
A dose or two of Man-a-lin is
advisable in slight febrile attacks,
la grippe, colds and influenza.

Hood River, Or., Aug. 7. The $80,000

been making in Its line at Hood River
is about completed, and it la expected
that trains will be running over it by

large crew has been engaged in this
work, and also making a long side track
east of the city. The company will
make improvements In the railroad
yards and depot at this point entailing
a considerable additional outlay.
FAULTY AIR BRAKES
CAUSE OF WRECKS
(Joornil Special 8ervlce.)
Chicago, Aug. 7. The fact that air
brakes in use on fast trains are inca
pable of bringing cars to a stop within
a short distance Is responsible for the
many wrecks which are being reported.
This Is the charge which has been
lodged against the railroads, and It has
caused the officials some little uneasi
ness. It is stated that brakes now in
use require 3,000 feet in which to bring
a train to a run stop. Tne westing-
house people have perfected a new
brake which reduces this distance one
Jmlf, but few roads have given any In
dication of adopting It.

Echo, Or, Aug. 7. The fed canal
under the East I'matllla project, which
runs from below Echo a distance of
26 miles to the reeervolr, is about com
plete. Work has been going on on this
canal for over a year, and as soon as
the water gets in the Umatilla this fall
water will be run through the canal to
the reservoir, whence it will be run into
the different laterals.
The force at tha Echo government
office has been somewhat reduced this
summer. In a short time work will be
gin on a waste gate below Echo, which
will require a larare force. Work will
continue on different parts of the proj
ect In this vicinity for a year to come.
FIFTEEN EARTHQUAKES
This, Per Daj, la the Average for
Thts Shaky Terrestrial Ball.
There are two principal classes of
earthquakes; those which are of vol
canic origin and those which arise from
tectonic, or mountain building, move
ments of the earth's crust.
The volcanic quakes, as the name
implies, occur in districts of active
volcanlsm and originate not far below
the surface, probably at depths of
ls than two miles.
The characteristics of a volcanic quake,
says Discovery, are a rather definite
point of origin, or "centrum," a com
paratively restricted area of disturb
ance and the usual absence of second
ary aftej shocks.
Tectonic or dislocation earthquakes
are practically confined to those por
tions of the earth's crust which are
still underaroina- chanares of elevation
due to the action of mountain build
ing forces. Such quakes are usually
to be assigned to a deep seated origin
as compared with the volcanic quakes.
They are characterized by an indefi
nite or linear centrum, a great radius
of influence and by succeeding subor
dinate shocks, which sometimes recur
for months or even years. The great
destructive earthquakes which have
occurred within the historic period have
been assigned for the most part to
this class of quakes.
Earthquakes are propagated by waves,
which are of four kinds: (1) Normal,
in which the vibrations are forward
and back along radii emanating from
the centrum of the quake; (2) trans
verse, in which the vibrations are Dcr-
ndlcular to the radii; (8) surface.
considering those of all amplitudes. Is
I not generally realized. The globe, ln-
aeea, may oe said narniy ever to be
free from selsmlr disturbances of some
kind somewhere, for the average of ill
recorded shocks Is more than 15 a day,
and the bare enumeration of those oc
curring in 1903 fills a book of 600 tab
ulated pages. About 60 heavy shocks
occur every year on an average. The
Count de Montessus de Iiallore has plot
ted upon maps of the hemispheres the
positions of the 159,784 Independent
puakes which had been recorded up to
1803. It was found by de Ballore that
86 per cent of all the recorded quakes
had occurred within the limits of cer
tain well defined zones, which are along
lines where the crust is bent down
ward forming great troughs, though the
troughs are only to be recognised areo-
loglcally; that is by Die relation of one
rock strata to another, without refer
ence to the surface configuration of the
earth.
PRONOUNCING NAMES
Mean
Strawberries a Dentifrice.
From the Minneapolis Journal.
"Perhaps It Is your sunburn that de
ceives me, but I really believe," said
the first girl as she floated on tho
sunwarmed billows, "that your teeth
have turned three shades lighter."
The second girl, taking a huge break
er very skillfully, laughed and replied:
"No, it Is the truth. They reall
are white. It Is a new wash that' I
use."
- "Toll me what It Is."
"It is nothing but crushed strawber
ries. Tou take two or three fresh
strawberries, cruBh them and rub your
tee in with tnem ror rive or six min
utes a day. The Improvement begins
at once, and In a short time the yel
lowest teeth are as white and lustrous
as pearls."

comparatively speaxing ana is horizon
tal in character; 400 epifocal. Waves
of the first three classes depend for
their amplitude on the elasticity of the
rocks through which they pass. They
are seldom visible, though they are
relt to a greater or less degree, and
although they are propagated with dlf
ferent velocities, they are not alwavs
distinguishable, even by aid of seis
mographs.
The waves or the fourth class, the
epifocal, are those which are conspic
uous, terrifying and destructive. They
are caused when strong waves at the
first two classes pass from hlarhly elas
tic rocks into adjacent almost inelastic
sou and unconsolidated sediments.
These are waves which the eye Wit
nesses of great earthquakes have de
scribed as causing the surface of the
ground to rise and fall like the bil
lows of the ocean, opening cracks in
the crests and closing them again in
the troughs as the motion passes along.
The present period has been supposed
by many, especially those not versed in
geology,, to be a season of rest In the
action of the earth building forces.
This, however, is not the case. We
know of a gentle upward movement-of
the earth's crust In the Hudson Bay
region. In New York and the eastern
Great Lakes, and of the subsidence of
parts of the Atlantic coast and the
elevation of other parts, but these are
siow and their connection with earth
quakes has not been established. Cer
tain areas, however, present definite
breaks in the rocks with surfaces pol
ished or striated by friction. Indicating
ancient movements which must have
been accompanied by great earthquakes.

Easy According to This Rule
infc of Words.
From the Kansas City Star.
Did you ever try to pronounce an
Indian name and then wonder whether
you had come anywhere near the correct
pronunciation? Try this rule: Place
dash after each vowel in the word and
then pronounce each syllable slowly.
Note the smooth flowing sound pro
duced and then gradually pronounce
the syllables faster ntn you get the
entire word grouped. You will be sur
prised both at the ease with which you
get the word and the affect in pro
nunciation. The most difficult Indian
name is readily pronounced in this man
ner.
Nearly all Indian names of towns and
rivers have some particular significance.
The names of towns in Indian Terri
tory will perpetuate Indian history for
ncnturleR. Only yesterday a new town
was named Neha. This is a Creek word
and means oil town. It was given
to a siding put in on the railroad a
few miles south of Muskogee In the
new oil field.
Wa" 1 n nreek menna water. Tt 1a
found in many names In the Territory J
and the significance attaches to the re
mainder of the word. For Instance, here
are a few: Weleetka means running
water, and Wetumka means bounding
water. Both are towns on the Frisco
Railroad. Wealeaka, the home of the
Creek chief, means falling water, we-
chnrtamcans red water.
Okmulgee, which is the Creek national
and the name was given the town of
Okmulgee because It was the national
capital. Tallahassee conveys to the
Creek mind the same Impression that
deserted village does to the English.
It was the name of a town in the
Eastern home of the Creeks and also a
town of that name, or what was a
town, located In Indian Territory.
There is an Indian school there.
To the Creeks the Arkansas river was
Wecharty. because the water is red,
and Deep Fork was Hutchety Soofkey
because it is deep. The Verdigris was
Wascre Hutchety because the Usages
came down that river and the Creeks
called it "Osage Stream.' The North
Canadian was called Oklahutchey be
cause It was full of sand. The vil
lage of Choska was so called because
Choska means post oak, and around
Choska post oaks grow In great pro
fusion.
A Milwaukee paper says that Wiscon
sin's fight in tne coming presidential
campaign will be Taft versus La Fol
lette. Senator La Follette is said to
still be in control of tne state machine
but his political enemies are preparing
to make a fierce fight against-hlm. The
report says that they nave aeciaea upon
Secretary Taft as the man who has the
best chance of sidetracking the La Fol
lette presidential aspirations.
