liliSEFIT TO SCIENTISTS.
ivl fiy things which occupy the
mrnda of scientists ueem unwor
thy tiie time from the point of
vie vv of the average man. And
yt in research of all kinds we
have been benefitted; the same
may be said of inventions. Ex
plorations, too, have proved of
untold value in more ways than
one.
Almost from a time beyond
knowledge, if not quite so, men
have wanted wings that they
miyht fly through space. Some
men still hope for them, but not
for the purpose of navigation.
Just so with regard to other
things. This desire to fly seem
ed an impossibility and for years
baffled the greatest minds, how
ever, it led to the flying machine
of today.
On line with this was the idea
of exploring at the north poie
and many lives were sacrificed
and ship after ship lost in this
undertaking. It seemed a work
that could benefit no one. But
there is the mystery of the north
pole, the conditions there being
merely a matter 01 conjecture.
Perhaps the greatest of all quer
ies regarding the condition at
the north pole is regarding what
would happen to the needle of a
compass if the exact pole were
located. Here is yet a riddle.
Amundsen, the daring Nor
wegian explorer and navigator,
who not long ago spent two
years in the arctic regions, gives
it a-; his opinion that the mag
netic pole shifts or varies, in
fact, is not settled. Amundsen
is a scientist and hid trip is of
woron to the world. He made a
successful trip through what is
known as the northwest passage
and destroys the long-cherished
dreams of. nuvigators by the de
claration that the route is so diffi
cult as to render it impractica
ble. Thus we find his work of
worth in adding to our know
ledge and in the settlement of a
problem of many years stand
ing. KNOWS LirriE LOVE.
The natural supposition would
b ? that an educational institu
tion's duty would be first of all
to disseminate knowledge. May
b-i this was the idea years ago,
but there seems at present to be
many notable exceptions, among
which the University of Chicago
shines with exceptional bril
liancy. This university ssems to
po-sess, to have a faculty for
possessing, a galaxy of wild
ideaed men who are to blaze the
path to realms of wisdom for all
mankind .
Professor Charles R. Hender
son of this institution gives to
the world an article on "Court-
ship," not only as she is, but as
she should be. Poor fool! That
he got over his depth in the
knotty problem of sticky sweet
ness need not be said- The
chances are that he's in love and
n )t accountable tor a smgia stut
ter or his article, tie proposes
something like a national school
of love-making and courtship.
This is already a world wide
s:hool and impossible of confin
ing to an institution placed pos
sibly under the instruction of
Professor Henderson.
It is doubtful if the learned
gentleman really knows what
love is or few, if any other
men, for that matter. It is pre
sumed that women may. Those
who compile our dictionaries and
keep them up to date, seem woe
fully at sea in this question, as
we find no less than twenty
seven definitions of "love" in
one dictionary and there axs
c.i TucMlay- and in;t
TE PrEi:sHino Com'--
'8'ri - trice of tht
' vfM'r Hue 'een. Bin' '
other dictionaries.
Taken altogether we firmly be
lieve that Professor Henderson
is wasting his time and talents
by writing articles on "Court
ship." .Par better service to
mankind-would it e.if he de--voted
some of his leisure hours
to articles on cooking and baby-
tending. ; ;" .;
For Prune Growers.
The prune groweisof Beaton
county will be interested in the
following, which is self explan
atory; " . :fi
"Resolved, By the Mar?on
County Horticultural Society,
that the present method of grad
ing prunes is arbitrary and is th
cause of constant loss to the
growers.
'Resolved, That the growers
of Marion and Polk counties fa
vor a change by which the two
largest of any season's output (as
at present graded) be known as
first, of fancy sizes; the succeed
ing two sizes as second, or med
ium, and the sm viler s ze as
third grade, or small prunes.
"That copies ot these resolu
tions be given the dailv and
agricultural papers of Oregon
and Caiifornta, that a copv of
cue above be presented to the
managers of , the Oregon
packing houses, asking tbem for
their co-operation to bang about
the desired results, and that they
be asked to enlist the aid of the
California growers and packers in
this movement.
Praises Country Editors.
. William Jennings Bryan ad
dressing the Minnesota Editorial
association, among other things
said:
"I am interested in a weekly
newspaper and I believe the most
of you are interested in weekly
papers. We have made a gov
ernor in this state of a newspaper
man, an editor or a county paper.
and the success that has attend
ed this experiment, it seems to
ne, ought to give a weekly
newspaper prestige in this coun
-.ry for a century to come.
Ion' t see how anybody but
veekly newpaper man can run
tor a high office. After the sue
oe;s ot your experiment in this
slate, ii only shows what splen
.lid teaching the newspaper office.
tnat :s tne country newspaper
nfrlce, is for public servants, and
it also shows how near the coun
try weekly is to the people and
how ctose is the sympathy be
twetn the newsoaprr aud masses
of the country."

ACTUALLY CURES CATARRH.
Graham & Wells Faith in Hyotnei
is so Strong They Sell it Under
Guarantee.
Graham & We' Is back up their faith
in Hyomei as a care for catarrh and
bronchial troubles with a positive guar
antee that if it does not cure the money
will be refunded.
Hyomei is based on nature's way of
caring catarrh. It contains concentrated
healing oils and gums of the pine woods,
prepared in such form that they can be
brought right into your home, with the
same results as though you lived out of
doors in the Adirondacks, and in this
way you can be cured of oa'arrh and af
fections of the nose, throat and lungs
while at borne or at work.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1 00, extra bottles, if needed, may be
obtained for 50 cents. With Hyomei
catarrh can be cured pleasantly and eas
ily at small expense with no risk of the
treatment costing a penny unless it
cures.

A Privilege to Show the Line to You
TURKEY GROWING.
Wise Hint From WiUet Randall In
Farm Journal of Fhiladelpbln.
The turkey business is one of the
foremost branches of the poultry in
dustry, and the prices paid for first
class stock this year are better and the
demand is greater than for some year3.
The problem that confronts the be
ginner is that turkeys are hard to
raise. 'Tis true there are obstacles to
overcome, but such is the case in ali
branches of poultry culture.
A start can be made with a few
birds and the flock increased as means
and experience will permit. Secure a
trio for a beginning. This is a good
time to buy. Do not wait until spring;
the chances for good birds are better
now than they will be next April.
The holiday trade in all the leading
cities was large, larger than ever be
fore, and it was hard work to get
enough birds to supply the demand.
In consequence very few birds went
into cold storage.
some are asking wny high prices
prevail more of late than was the cus
torn in past years, to wmcn l can give
but one reason increased consump
tion. In many localities turkeys are not
raised so extensively as tney were
three or four years ago. Some gave
up the work on account of a season's
failure. Disease in the flock drove oth
ers out of business.
Before you sell your stock pick out
the best for your own breeding, then
get rid of the rest. Don't be like Pe
ter Tumbledown. He always gets rid
of his choicest fowls and keeps the
scrubs for his own breeding.
