SUICIDE OF AN Ol.U MAN
Frank Reid committed suicide
yesterday at the Quimby house, by
shooting himself through the heart
with a ;5S calibre revolver. He
came to the hotel on the 19th of
this month, presumably from
Fargo, Dakota, and registered. He
was shown to room No. 10(, which
he kept up to yesterday, when he
paid his bill and went to his room.
From 10 o'clock in the morning till
4 o'clock in the aiternoon the
chambermaid, wishing to dust the
room, tried the door repeatedly.
Finally, thinking something was
wrong, she looked over the transom
and beheld the body of a gray
bearded man lying on the bed.
The coroner was called, and found
the revolver still clasped in the
old man's hand. In his pocket
was found but o5 cents. On the
table beside him lay a note which
read as follows :
"Nov. 2!), 1889.
"Tin's is to certify that I have
neither relatives nor friends that care
for me, or me for them. Cause for
this act, my business.
Signed, Frank Reid.

Keeil Capture the Caucus Vote
and Will Be Speaker.
Washington, Nov. 30. At neon
the republican caucus was called
to order by Henderson, of Illinois,
chairman. The roll call denoted
the presence of lllli members, four
less than the republican strength
in the house. The first business
was the adoption of the resolution
that the balloting for speakership
be open. On the lirst ballot Reed
received 7S; McKiulev, 35; Can
non, Rurrows, 10, and Hen
derson, lti. On the second ballot
Reed received 80 votes, thus re
ceiving the nomination. The sec
ond ballot was Reed, S(; McKin
ley, :!(; Cannon, lit; Rurrows, 15;
Henderson; !).
The session was declared to have
a reess for caucus nominations.
Voting on a motion to make a re
cess until evening, the caucus im
mediately proceeded to Belect a
nominee for clerk and the follow
ing candidates were presented in
short speeches. Tne result of the
first ballot was the election of Mc
pherson, of Pennsylvania, who re
ceived IK! to 50 for Carson, of
Pennsylvania.
11. J. Iloluiej, ex-representative
from Iowa, and F. II. Reed, of
Minnesota, were then nominated
for K'igeant-at-arms. Holmes was
elected.
The sitrrngth of 1'acillc Fir.
Not very many tests have been
made and reported by engineers or,
architects on the comparative
strength of the yellow tir of the
Pacific Coast. Rut from those
made, it is evident that where fir is
used to displace eastern pine or
used in situations requiring equal
strength, the sizes or numbers of
fir timber can safely be reduced
ne-third from the safe estimates
on Eastern pine. This is a ques
tion of much importance to those
who buy large timbers for trusses,
bridge and buildings, especially
for the trade farthest away where
the question of Ircight is the most
important one. Although this
reduction in sizes of timber would
decease the consumption for any
one structure, it would certainly
permit shipping to mere remote
markets and thus increase the de
mand. When it is once thoroughly
known that an 8x12 of fir will
stand more than a 12x12 of Wis
consin pine, architects and en
gincers will not be alow in select
mg the timber which by its
stiength can be made lighter and
hence more to be desired, not only
from an architectural standpoint,
but also an economical one.- The
tests lately made in the engineer
ing department ef the Northern
Pacific Railway, proved that under
equal conditiou9 yellow fir possess
ed twice the btrengtit of Eastern
pioe. Trautwioe's tests on fir,
under the name of "Oregcu Pice,',
practically substantiate the North
ern Pacific Engineers. One im

MAKVKLH OF MODERN 8CIKXCE
I'UoleJSraphiag a Flying liallet
Electricity.
Scribner.
Photographs of he interior of
the gan are even taken by means of
the electric light, and the informa
tion obtained by these means is
most valuable and is manifestly
more gaisfactery than that g:ven
by the method of taking iinpres-
sior.8 of the bore in soft rubber.
Photography has also been made
Ui.e of in studying the motion of
the projectile. In the case of large
guns, instantaneous views of the
shot during its flight have been
successfully taken by means of a
camera provided with a quick act
log shutter. Ihis method is not
applicable, however, to small arms.
A rifle bullet is a small object, and
the camera must be set near its
path in order to obtain a picture ef
sufficient size to be of use; but the
neater the instrument is placed to
the moving object to be photo
graphed, the mere rapid is the
motion of the image over the plate,
and no "instantaneous" or quick
acting shutter could possibly be
made to operate ith sufficient
rapidity, or at the proper instant,
to give a sharply defined picture.
The desired end is accomplished,
howover, by the aid of electricity.
The camera is provided with an
extremely sensitive plate and
placed iu a dark room, through
which the buliet is made to pass.
The instant the bullet is in front of
the camera it breaks an electric
circuit, producing a spark which
illuminates thr bullet tor an in
stant, and its image is impressed
upon the sensitive plate. The
duration of the electric spark is
almost infinitesimal, aud eince the
plate is atiected only during the
continuance of the spark, a well
defined photograph of an object
moving at a greater velocity tiiau
that of sound is obtained. Such
pictures show the condensation of
the air iu front of the bullet, the
vacuum left behind it and the
eddies and currents produced in
the surrounding atmosphere by its
motion ; and they nflord informa
tion which is of value in determin
ing the best shape to be. given to
the projectile in order to reduce to
a minimum the resistance whicl
the air opposes to its fiight, and so
.l'crease its range and effect.

It has even been hinted that Gould

Congress.

lLtrStF.
Washington, Nov. :0. As the
time for the meeting tof Congress is
near at hand , those interested are get
ting into shape the measures of legis
lation which will be brought forward
for consideration. A good deal has
already been said and written, princi
pally by the Senators and representa
tives who have been in the city, about
matters of general legislation, and it
may now be opportune to give some
account of the work of special interest
to the Pacific coast that will be pre
sented to Congress for its action.
It is generally understood here that
Congress will be strongly urged to
make the necessary provision for put
ting the important sea coast cities in
a condition of defense against foreign
attack or invasion.
'1 he proper defense of San Francisco
will involve a larger expenditure than
will be required At any other port.
The total expense will bo $27,868,150.
Portland, Or., must be defended by
works of defense at the mouth of the
Columbia river and above. The cost
of putting this place in a condition of
defence will be $2,919,000.
In the way of public buildings sev
eral local cities will urge claims for
consideration.
A measure of considerable impor
auce which Congress will be asked to
pass ujon favorably, is that authoriz
ing Secretary of War to aseertain the
amount of money which has been ex
pended and the obligations assumed
by the State, .Towing out of Indian
hostilities, and not heretofore reim
bursed by the United States. This
information, when obtained by th
Secretary of war, is to be submitted
to Congress for its action.
Of a similar import is a measure
authorizing the War Department to
ascertain what amount of money has
been expended by the States of Cali
fornia,Oregon and Nevada for military
purposes in aid of the. Government of
the United State9 during the war of
the Rebellion. During the war, as is
known, the Government called upon
these States to assist iu guarding the
overland mail and emigrant routes,
aud to aid the United States in var
ious other ways. It is unnecessary to
say that these requests were met with
a ready compliance. Large expendi
tures resultod, and the object now in
view is to have proper examinations
made so that the accounts with the
Government can be properly and ac
curately stated. The measure docs
not commit t'te Government to the
payment of the claim, that being a
matter for subsequent legislation.
The effort will he made to place
California on a similar footing with
other public-land States so far as the
grant of 5 per cent of the net proceeds
of the cash sales of the public lands is
coucerned.
Farther up the coast the people of
Oregon and Washington will have
mauy matters to lay before Congress.
The Lighthouse Board supports the
proposition to establish a first-order
coast light in Gray's harbor, Wash
ington. Congress authorized the con
struction of a harbor light at this
place, but it is considered that the
demands of commerce need atirst-class
light.
Harbor ' improvements at Yaqniua,
the mouth of the Columbia, Siuslaw
and Coos Bays, iu Oregon will also
come in for liberal appropriations.
The Oregon representatives will it is
though make recommendations with
out delay for the appointment of the
principal federal oliicers in the state.
Improve. ncnt of the mad facilities in
Oregon wilt aiso be looked after.
Congress wiil assemble mi Monday,
and the members are all here. The
session promises to be lie of special
interest- to the country. President
Harrison's first message is ready to be
presented to Congress, and the docu
ment will be looked for with much
interest.
Civil Service and Fostofflce Work.
Touching the civil service, Wanna
maker's report runs thus: "The
postal department has an individual
ity of its own. An ordinarily good
clerk of the government might suit
perfectly well in aoy other of the evil
places, but for postoflice work ho
mut almost learn a trade. There
ought to be a kind of apprenticeship,
with promotion. With 150,000 em
ployes, rightly selected, who feel a
proper pride in representing the gov
ernment, and are alive every day to
improvement, the postal service would
oon become the best in the world."
