SPYIiVO OUT OUR CELESTIAL
NEIGHBORS.
No more facinating subject can
be entertained by human being?,
than that of- viewing the planets
that nightly roll in space around
. o ir earth. The instruments fcr
accomplishing this purpose have,
from year to year progressed in
improvement until now we can
almost tell what our r.eighl or
planets are,and telescopes have be
come objects of the greatest inter
est, and stiil the improvements go
on. An exchange says that the
telescope manufactured b' order
of the late millionaire Lick for the
, university known by his name in
California has enjoyed the distinc
tion of being the largest and
istrongest in the worlu; but it is
likely to undergo a comparative
jeclipse. Mr. Abram Clark, who
made it, has undertaken the task
of making one yet larger and more
powerful, should he 'succeed, as
he is perfectly confident that he
will, valuable additions may be
expected to be made to our knowl
edge of tiie worlds bv which we
are surrounded. In a recent talk
on the subject Mr. Clark disclosed
some facts quite contrary to general
1 elief in regard to astronomy. It
has been popularly supposed that
w:e had reached maximum of effec
tive telescopes. The big ones, the
leading astronomers told us, dis
close little of the heavens' wonders ;
nhd they pointed out that the rnost
important discoveries of the present
centuries had been made by tele
scopes of a medium size. Hence,
the deduction that it was useless
to bother with larger lenses. Such
a theory, of course, gave us little of
practicable value to hope for from
astronomy. With the telescopes
now in use, we could expect to
dietermine more accurately the dis
stance trout the earth to the sun,
f r to lay bare more stars ; but in
discoveries of this kind the .rea.t
mass of humanity could scaicely
be, expected to take any very deep
interest. It was the verdict of
most of the professionals that the
Lick telescope would be a failure,
so far as adding anything to pra t
cat knowledge of the heavenly
spheres was concerned; but in this,
as in many other instances, they
were mistaken. It has alieady
been demonstrated that, properly
constructed and located, a big
telescope is more effective than
one of smaller size. It has been
shown, in fact, that there is practi
cally no limit to the power of a
telescope, and that if a sutiicienth
powerful one can be made we can
bring most of the planets near
enough to examine their every
nook and corner. The lens of the
new instrument for the university
at Los Angeles is to be forty incht s
inidiameter one which will bring
thp moon within a few thousand
feet of the earth. It i3 simply a
question of time and mone;
mainly money, as a telescope wi:h
a nye-foot lens, properly mounted,
would cost a million dollars. If
Mr. Clark's position is tru?, and
there is every reason to believe
that it is astronomy, a science
which has been practically at a
stand for years, will take giant
strides. There will be practically
no limit to the discoveries it can
make, and there should come from
it some practical benefits. Each
year we will know more of the
heavens, and of all seiencts
astronomy will be changed from
the slowest to the most progressive.
The prompt and efficient use o
presence of mind was litely
exemplified in the burning of in
Illinois Fe'.nale Seminary :t
Godfrey in that state. Miss Haskell
the principal, aroused all of the
pupils, ordered them to secure
v.Mat erTe'.-ts they could and escape.
All got out without injury, though
many failed to properlv
themselves in their haste to escape.
Of all the property in the school
only two pianos and three organ?
were paved. The loss aggregat. s
3-lo0,000; insurance, $75,000. The
loss to pupils and teachers in
clothing, jewelry, etc., is not in
iludedin this estimate. But for
her presence of mind as fearful a
holocaust might have taken place
as did at the burning of the Catholic
school for girls at JJellville in that
state a few vears aro.

Which Wa.lt?acua or Shakespeare
The authorship of the dramatic
productions contributed to the last of
the above named is agitating literary
circles to the very centre' but affects
the practical masses far less than the
momentous ouestion, how to regain
or preserve health, that essential of
bodily and mental activit , busine.-s
success and the"pursuit of happiness"
We can throw far moie light on this
subject than the most profound
Shakesperian can on the question
propounded. If the system is de
pleted, the nerves shaky ; if indiges
tion or constipation bothers one at
times, or constantly; if the skin is ye'
lmv and tongue furred as in billions
ness; if there are premoaitory twinge
of oncoming rhematism or neural
gia; if the kidneys a.e inactive use

The result of the election in thi
state will probably convince those
political leaders, who inclined to
free trade measures, that the June
election waa a faithful indication
of how the people felt upon the
subject, and really di 1 mean some
thing. It simply meant that the
people of Oregon believe in foster
ing home institutions and markets,
and the increased majority at this
election speaks louder tiian words

cal discussion.
