This is a piece of information that will doubt less be of interest to the voters who have the "say so" in the nominating. The E. Fluke building at Inde pendence, built in 1858, is being torn dQwn and will be replaced by a one story brick building. Mrs. Chas. Lee of North Inde pendence has asked the city of Independence to pay $300 dam ages for a dislocated ankle due to a fall on a defective sidewalk. The city seems inclined to lay j the blame for the sidewalk on the Oregon Power Co. Hi Quer Feeling. A naval oUiciul prained at a din ner in Washington the old sea dog. "One of these typical old 8ea dogs," he ended, "was persuaded one day in Philadelphia to attend tea. I met him a short time after ward and said : "'Well, Marlinspike, I hear you have been doing tea parties in Phil adelphia?' " 'Yes, sir,' the old salt replied. 'I did go to one tea party, sir. '"And how did you feel there among all those ladies?' 1 asked. " '1 felt like a sperm whale doin' crochet work,' he replied." Walking and Balancing. It is pointed out that in walking or running the arms and legs pro duce a "balancing" like that of the reciprocating and revolving parts of a locomotive. 'The movements of the legs react upon the trunk and tend to rotate it in alternate direc tions about a vertical axis. But the swinging of the arms, each in uni son with the opposite leg. produces an opposing mechanical couple, the effect of which is to rotate the trunk in the other direction, thus balancing, in part at least, the ro tating action of the legs. IdUncti. It is an undoubted truth that the less one has to do the less one finds time in which to do it. One yawns, one procrastinates, one can do it when one will, and therefore one seldom does it at all. whereas those who have a great deal of business muBt buckle to it. and then they al ways find time enough in which to do it (Paid Advertisements.)
