Fatting, No. 6 IS - East 21st street north, this - morning at 1 :45 after a courageous fight against pneu monla.v Miss MacConnell would have celebrated her 8rd birthday next May. Born in Edinburgh and coming to America with her parents as a child. Miss MacConnell mad hre borne in Newport. Ky.. and was educated id the University of Cincinnati, where she specalized: in medicine and surgery, She came "to Portland in 1879 after experience as a teacher for 17 years. and began her work in this city in the old Portland high school in the Cen tral, school building, located where the Portland hotel stands today. She specailized in ' the teaching of science and chemistry and in dramatic work in the school and coached thestudents' plays with unusual success. "When Miss .MacCo&nell celebrated her 60th anniversary as a teacher, it was community event. Some years ago the question of her retirement . came -toe-fore the school board but . her former students so insistent objected that the matter was dropped and she resigned from the Lincoln high school faculty only a year ago, LIVED 'WITH HER 2TIECE Miss MacConnell had made her home .with her grandniece, Mrs. .

Miss MacConneil's modest and re tiring nature was never better il lustrated ' than by her abhorrence of even the suggestion of newspaper pub licity ;-or .the J publishing or ner pic ture, f To those of her pupils who are engaged: in the newspaper business who suggested that there were thou sands of people in Portland who would appreciate seeing her face in print. she would smile, shake her head nega tively and express grave doubts as to the veracity of th assertion. As a teacher ' Miss MacConnell was finely versed - in the branches which she, taught and she had the sift of be ing ; able to Impart Jier - learning to these -who studied, under her. so that they left her with a clear understand ing of -the subjects pupils who were partial to the studies she; taught were welcome to stay after school and come Saturdays for instruction beyond that afforded in? class, jv;yr'4 -;.-'&i'' POSTISITED .TO TCT;pi ;5 i ; While she t taught 'chemistry. .Miss MacConnell was religious in making an annual trip to- some Eastern uni versity to brighten up on this sub iect. and because of this she kept paee with the amazingly rapid evolution of this science wp to the irae that she decided that her advanced years and theg rowing : glasses made the . work too arduous" and so she elected to teach, when the high school was 'moved from the eld. building to Lincoln, her two pet hobbies, deportment and dra mat la art. V 4,,,,; - - .- Miss MacConnell was serious "in all of her work, but her keen appreciation of , humor every now and then would inspire an expression s of her own quaint ; humor which she would de liver without a smile nor permit any mark of enjoyment on the part of her pupils. Miss MacConnell never put money away, using it, it is said, for the pur pose of educating her relatives, a. num ber of whom owe. a college education to the generosity of this grand little woman. 1 . v Pr incess Anastasia Arrives in New' York New York; Dec.

May Not Be Legal Much discussion is going the rounds of attorneys and state officials as to the right - of State Senator Roy W. Ritner to sit as governor, acting in the absence of Governor Ben W. -.Olcott, now on an Eastern junket- AS a mat ter of fact, tinder two . sectns : of the Oregon constitution neither Ritner nor anyone else Is qualified to act as gov ernor, and, therefore, in the opinion of some attorneys consulted and one judge who Informally expressed a belief, all the gubernatorial acts recently per formed by Ritner may prove invalid, '.i A new act ratified at the last session of the legislature makes the . president of the senate acting governor during the inability of the governor to serve. But section 4 of article IV of the con stitution expressly fixes the term of state senators and representatives as dating from the day after the general November elections. ' - This f means that : Roy Ritner, who was president of the 1921 senate, auto matically ceased to be such after . the last election, although he is still a member of the senate, because the new senate has not organized and will not until the formal, re-assembly, section 1 of Article XV provides that all officers of the state except legislators shall hold -office until their successors are duly elected and qualified. This situation, according to students of the question, may mean that Gover nor Olcott's absence from the state may endanger the validity of every ad mmistrative act performed, by Ritner.
