C6mnlaint against the selection of four out of the five Mar-
an iNDT.gg?rpENT newspaper! ion county legislative candidates from Salem at the recent repub
lican primaries is voiced by the Silverton Tribune as giving balem
an undue proportion of representation at the expense of the coun

tions were well represented with candidates, but they failed to re
ceive the county-wide support essential to nominate.

EXPLAINING THE OUIJA,
Moves of theuija board are not due to ghostly fingers but
to the action of the sub-conscious mind of the operator, stated Dr.
Ji Allen Gilbert of the medical school of the University of Oregon
at the annual meeting of the alumni at Portland, who asserts
that the mysterious manifestations are based on scientific prin
ciples. . ' - i .. i
"Everyone has a storehouse of sub-conscious knowledge from
which he draws," declares Dr. Gilbert, "though without know
ing it. Ouija does not move of its own accord, nor is it moved by
powers outside the individual manipulating it. . The answers are
but the embodiment of sub-conscious states significant or insignif
icant in proportion to the intimacy of the relation that can be es
tablished between conscious and sub-conscious states. As it is
not' understood, the phenomena are attributed to spirit control,
messages from the dead or communications of the super-natural."
The underlying principle is the psychological state which re
flects every action in the imagination before there is a muscular

Rippling Rhymes
BY THE SEA.
I'm at La Jolla, bythe sea; the view is something fine,' with
large blue billows rolling free five' thousand miles of b?ine. The
grand old oceah is my lawn, it slops against my door; no dande
lions grow thereon, to make my spirit sore. The water booms into
the caves, reminding me of this : I do not have to mow the waves ;
and Bitch a thought is bliss. I see the billows, high and dark, the
endless surge and swell ; I see the seals, and hear them bark, as
though they'd things to sell. And I could sit and watch the sea
one thousand years of two, and every hour 'twould bring to me
some message strange and new. It's saying, as it sighs and raves,
and murmurs, moans and pleads. "You do not have to mow my
waves, or from me dig the weeds." The salt sea sloshes round
my coop, and sharks come up and play, and I sit out, upon the
stoop, and smile the livelong day. I've always had a lawn to mow.
and weeds to dig at night ; no sandbura on the ocean, grow, to mar
my chaste delight. . s
