LOCAL RECORD. Stukkd Puwkk. Mr. N. II. Allen, of the Electric Light Co., in Investigating a matter that Is probably one of the g.'cplcst things of the present gcncral'on. It U a storage battery. Power is s!ored i 1 a bat tery so tlj.it it can be used entire'. separ ate from the source of the power. It has already been used to run street ca's and machinery of dif'e.e.it kinds. The idea is one to stagger one. You store your power away and use it when you wish, and are not dependent on any main force. It is a splendid thing particularly for running elcctiic lights, as it can be used with greater availability in residences, stores, in fact anywhere and can bcopcraicd at high noon if desired. In the matter of small machinery it is particularly des'rable, as 11 is not necessary to get up steam or wait for the evening water gate to be lifted. Mr. Allen expects to get a quantity of these wonderful batteries in time, and they wil prove a big addition to his already line plant, and will alo bring out divers new uses for electric power in the city. New Usk i-or Melons. "It has been practically demonstrated by M.S. K. J. Kamsdeil, says the Grant't Pass Courier, "that a number one syrup can be made from watermelon cider, she having experi incntcd in this way. From two gallons of cider made from the pulp of two or three small melons, a pint of as fine flavoied syrup was made as one could desire. That from which syrup can be made will also produce sugar, after undoing the usual process, and melons, it is authori.atively stated, will produce about four times as much saccaharrint: as that jwti the sugar cane. Detectives Postmaster Roby and the postal Inspectors at this place say they are continually botherd by applications from would-be-detectives, who want employ ment in hunting tip the lost $10,000 regis' try package. All kinds of tramps, from the gilt edge street fakir to spirtualistic medi ums, call at all times of the day and night, with "dead sure" schemes to catch the thief. One young man said he could lay his hands on the money in a few days, but as he was so willing to tackle the job on a small salary and a large amount of notorie ty, his application was laid on the tabic. Telegram. A Paper, For the past few days a ru mor has been afloat that two San Krancls coans, whose names can not be learned, contemplate publishing an eight-page democratic daily in this city, the first num ber to be issued on Monday next. These parties are alleged to have offered the Ntwt people $10,000 for the plant, and if they cannot get it for that figure they will buy a new one. Telegram. In the meintime subscribe for the Democrat. For Health. There is more truth than fiction In the following, from the Pendle ton E. O., when applied to summer trips generally : "It has been noticed by a sta tistical individual that about one half the people who went to the mountains this season were brought home sick. He has also noticed that a majority of the unfor tunates who have been or are now 111 in Pendleton from typhoid fever or other dis eases had spent a week or two In the mountains, while those who stayed at home escaped. It would be hard to explain this anomaly. Military Ball. "F" Co's. grand mill tary ball to be given Sept. 14, will be the event of the season for dancers of Albany and neighboring places.

This is the secoml ot Mr. rroman s children to die of th' disease within a few weeks. The Difference. The price of wheat In Portland is 83 cents, in Albany 75 cents. Previous to the advent of the Oregon Pa cific the difference In price was about 17 cents. That road has really added over 8 cents a bushel to the price of wheat. Waterloo.

A large amount of smoke protruding from achitr.iiey on Ferry Stieet in such a manner as to make it look as if tbe roof was on fire, came near causing an alarm ol tire this morn ing ; but an axe revealed the secret of the smoke and a needless run was avoided. Charles Smith, of Silverton, has been sued by the Chinaman whom ho assaulted recently for $10,000 damages.
