An appeal to Kugene citizens to

ton ou Kuowles creek July Kt to 27
is made by Kenneth C. Abies, Dr. D.
C. Stanard, W. 1(. Robertson, Lelaud
Johns. wi nnd C. It. Clark of the camp
committee today.
On account of failure to obtain the
equipment needed for the camp the
scouts are Hi-king for 'the loan of
various camping utensils needed for
the two-weeks jaunt. With the lim
ited funds available the scout council
is not able to purchase locally the
material wanted, and are asking Ku
gene people to help.
Fight or 10 large camping tents,
sufficient to care for four to six hoys
each are the most immediate need.
Tito seouts promise to take the best
of care of all material loaned, and
to pay for anything damaged.
A trip was taken to the scene of
the camp yesterday by the advance
delegation, where water was piped
from a nearby mountain stream.
Those making the trip were Kester
Smith and H. Pnterson, assistant
scout masters in Kugene, nnd John
Allen, Bradford Datson and Robert
Allen scouts. They report every
thing In readiness for the camp, and
tho scouts making the trip will be.
all set for (heir two weeks outing
if Kugene people will respond with the
loan of the following nrtieles.

A seismograph consists of an in
strument built on a substantial steel
frame, from which a weight of ap
proximately a ton is suspended by a
wire. To this weight are nttached
writing instruments which make con
tinuous marks on graphs propelled
by clocks. When a shock is received,
the weight remains .stationary, due
to its inertia, while the apparatus
is -moved hy the shock. Variations
are thus reproduced on the. graphs,
