Over the re imitn hub Wonderful Power of New Electro-Magnetic Gun. - : - , 3 (Journal Special Service.) BERLIN, May 13. Professor K. Briery land, the Norwegian physicist, has been in Berlin recently for the purpose of demonstrating the powers of electro magnetic cannon before a number of ex perts' In electrical artillery. The results ' of the deroonstartlon have been so con vincing that a firm of attillery manufac turers' has offered to buy the Invention f for immediate' exploitation, provided Pro fessor Brierkland will increase the length of the piece used In the trials so that it will throw a projectile weighing two tons a distance of. twelve miles. Theoretically the device can throw a projectile weighing two tons a distance of 90 miles, or even farther, by sufll :-nt- , ly prolonging the tube. The principle ' Upon which the new gun acts has not 'been made public, but it is known that the projectile is.xjlled from an ordi nary cist irontUilie, thlcUy wrapped with copper wire. r yhls tube combination, of course, could be made more cheaply than ; the cannon now IrP use. No explosive gases result form the discharge of the new gun. 'r Professor Brlerkland's invention has stirred up great Interest among lech ileal A observers, some of whom are of the opin ion that It signifies a greater revolution . in fighting material than was brought about by the discovery of gunpowder.

Wfffrtf4i-MIIMt.MttMM.MMHHHMMriMHMMrt ASSEMBLY in New York- be Revised, commendations of this committee there is likely to be one of the most stirring debates over altering the creed to which the denomination has adhered since it was adopted by the convention at West minster some 250 years ago. In addition to the consideration of the revision of the Confession of Faith, the General Assembly this year will pay con siders be attention to the problem of evangelisation. A committee, in which the Rev. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman and John H. Converse,, of Philadelphia, are leading spirits. Is to submit a report. Another very interesting report will be by the committee on- buildings. This com mittee is in charge of the Twentieth Cen tury Fund, designed to free the churches of the denomination from debt, will also make a report in which there will be much Interest. Among Presbyterians throughout the country there has been some alarm lest, the large boards of the church should come into the assembly reporting enor mous debts. Inquiry among the board members on the field develops a condition of affairs quite the opposite. The board I of .cjuirth ajcaflemtes. tha. board of mln isteiial education, the board or aw tor colleges and academies, the board of Freedman and the board of foreign mis sions and several of the other boards will report balances on hand. The assembly will be called to order in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church by the retiring moderator. Rev. Henry C. Mlnton, who wilt preach the annual sermon. A new moderator will then be chosen, and the assembly will organize for business. In the, course of the day there will be a communion service. Sat urday afternoon tlhe assembly commis sioners wilt pay a visit to -the New York University. The following day, Sunday, all the Presbyterian pulpits in the city will be occupied by preachers who will address themselves especially to the work of the Presbyterian board of home mis sions, given over entirely to this celebra tion and in the evening there will be a popular meeting at Carnegie Hall, which President Roosevelt has promised to at tend. On Thursday night. May 22, there will be great reception in honor of the visit ors at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Some two thousand guests' will be present. On the following Saturday afternoon the commissioners will go to Princeton to visit the university and theological sem inary at. that place. The body will ad journ some day In the following week. hOuse are divided up at the tables ac cording to their religion T Can you also tell me why it is that those of one re ligion are given the better food and the others the poor food? It is unnecessary to state that Superintendent Hansen Is one. of the better-food class, L e., his religion is the same as thelr's if he has any at all. It might be worth while to the " people to have these questions an swered by the authorities. If they know the facts their answers would make some Interesting reading. Yours, PATRICK GILBERT.

' , ' The lecture was attended by about 100 teachers and workers, and al listened with the greatest interest to the speaker, who is so Imbued win enthusiasm In her work that she aroused the same Interest in her auditors- and caused them to feel the truth and earnestness of the subject she presented. Her theme was "The Successful. Teach er," et the ground she covered gave ideas enough to conduct a whole school successfully. She made a chart on the blackboard, by which she presented the points most necessary to the success of a teacher. The chart was first a frame formed by letters S. These she filled out with the folio wyg topics: Suitable sur roundings, seedling scholars, selecting songs, seed sowing, scripture study, sav ing souls, strong soldiers, sword of the spirit, system of supplemental work, symbols and stories, sufficient support and service as a shepherd, all of which led to the large central figure of success. Mrs. Bryner will assist in the State convention here this week, and ! now in Eugene and Albany, lecturing to Sunday school .conventions. ' Canadian Roads Have no Fear of Jim (Journal Special Service.) CHICAGO, May U.-Canadlan railroad magnates see no reason to fear the ac tivities of J. J. Hill and J. P. Morgan in the Northwest or th operations of the Northern Securities Company. Incidentally they have decided that none of the Canadian lines shall be merged with Mr. Hill. Assurance to this effect was given by Hugh Mann, present owner of the Canadian Northern and a member of the firm of McKenxle & Mann, rail road builders in the Dominion; Mr. Mann is at the Auditorium Annex. "The officials of the Canadian Northern and heads of the other representative railways are amply able to protect them selvea against any plana of J. J. Hill and the Northern Securities Company," said Mr. Mann last, night. "Mr. Hill and Mr. Morgan have done a good manyt things In merging railroads and seem id be largely in control of rail way matters in the Northwest that is, the northwest part of the United States but I can say, not only from my own ob servations, but from the stand of all of the representative railroad men of Can ada, that none "of the Canadian railroads will be merged with Mr. Hill's lines.

NUN TO MKT Serious Outcome of Frolic at New York Ball. (Journal Bpecial Service.) YONKERS. N. Y., May ll-Ther is consternation in Jewish circles over the serious outcome of the mock marriages of fully 100 couples that attended the re cent Purim ball at McCann's hall. In the course of the ball somebody sug gested that each man 'select a partner and go through a mock marriage. Fully 200, some of them already married, went through the ceremony, including the plac ing of a ring on the finger of the bride. ' Several days later a New York rabbi Informed several iof the young persons that according to the Hebraic law every one of the marriages was valid.

It leaked out today that the Republican State Central 'Committee has made a careful poll ot Multnomah County and has found that the voters stand at this time as follows: ' . Eight thousand vsters were seen. Democrats, -2200. : ' Chamberlain Republicans, 3000. Republicans, 280Q, It is reported from an accurate author ity that the poll has caused consterna tion among the managing committee. And it Is therefore known why the committee gaveout such padded figures yesterday. IN UNION COUNTY. An estimate has been given out by the Republican State Central Committee on the probable vote on June 2. It professes to give the elections to the Republicans by a majority well, up to the usual aise. People who havs' figured over the .polls that have come In from the various coun ties know that th estimate is lnaccu rateso inaccurate that It causes merely amusement everywhere. As an Instance of the Inaccuracies that -are manifest In the statement, take Union County. The assertion is made in the es timate that Union County will go for Furnish, on the ground that the "Pan handle," a portion of the county that was cut off -from that ..county and added to Baker County, had 100 Democratic ma jority. The exact, poll of the Panhandle shows that there are precisely 26 more Democratic votes" than Republican.- If the same inaccuracy holds good for the entire estimate, then it falls by Its own weight of untruth.; In Union County, in the last Presiden tial election there were 183 middle-of-the-road Pppullst: voters, and ot these two-thirds will go to Chamberlain. Be sides this, thers ate from 100 to 209 Re publicans, estimated conservatively, who will vots for Chamberlain. Prominent Republicans iu .Union County openly work for and speaker Chamberlain, and they themselyesjpliee the number of dis affected Republicans at from 300 to 400. Furthermore there are no Democrats who will not Vote for Chamberlain. There is absolutely, no Democratic disaffection. And these figures are from reliable sources. IN UMATILtA COUNTY, In Umatilla County, as another In stance, there are already 300 Republicans enrolled against Furnish, and those who have the movement'ln charge assert that they will have lined up 600 by the time election arrives. Those who make this assertion are themselves Republicans, ana they are working openly to forward the movement. Z. There are practically no Democrats who will support Furnish. The Democrats are not disaffected. There are no rea sons why they should be disaffected. Democrats are not, feeling kindly to wards Furnish in Umatilla County, for the reason that they regard his desertion of the party as dictated by considerations of polley rather than changes of opinion upon the Issues of ths day. This has served to hold the Umatilla County Dem ocrats in line, and there will be no losses from the Democratic ranks. CONFESSION OF .WEAKNESS. The proposition of betting upon the election has assumed peculiar shape dur ing the past day or . two. The natural betting situation would call for heavy odds from the Republican backers, inas much as the Btate is normally from 10,000 to 12.000 Republican. . When considered from the standpoint of the sporting man, this warrants odds in any election, and heavy odds. . In the columns of another paper ap peared a proposition for. bets even up on the two Gubernatorial 'candidates. And this is the proposition' that has Induced so much comment among those who are disposed Ho place their vmoney on elec tions. A, prominent sporting .man was asked to give his version to The Journal and-rplled: " 1 i" "As I view the matter, the fact that the Republican backers .are asking for even bets on Furnish is proof that his managers are not confident of his elec tion. The normal majority in Oregon is upwards or 10.000, and . this makes it betting proposition only When odds are given.. - If, then, the Republican candi date's backers are willing to bet only upon an even basis, it is Conclusive proof that there Is almost,' If not quite, fear that Furnish will be defeated. "Therefore I look upon. the offers from them as. a, confession ' that the figures printed on Monday morning are not of any significance. They are merely elec tion claims that are put out for effect.. They mean nothing excepting that the Republican managers are-desirous of bol stering up their causey Xf they are con fident of election, then, in .a state that Is normally 10,000 or mors Republican, they will offer such odds as are. usually given by sporting men." . . ; Registration Is Increasing.' v There seems to be an awakening inter est on the part of voters in the matter of Registration, so it is possible that when be ballots shall have been counted the vote may not be as light, after all, as was first feared. Nearly 200 additional tiames found their way Into the -lists of Mult nomah County Saturday; The period of registration will expire, tinder the law, at Pr M. Thursday;f ;r , In Crook County many voters will be registered by notaries and many more will obtain-the right to vote on the affi davits of six freeholders as provided by lw.-"tr- n S-V-"; ' rr"r':-T."

For Instance, one .farmer may de sire to sell certain stock which he does not require and may : want sheep which another farmer has to sell. At these monthly exchanges the buyer and seller are thus easily brought together. The experiment is not a new one.'

Ao Increase of 40 cents a barrel in the 'price of beer Is said to be contemplated by the leading brewers of the country. The matter will be discussed at the convention of the National Association of Brewers, which will be held soon. Fred erick Pabst, Jr., president of the Mil waukee Brewers' Association, said that that organization has appointed two dele gates to the . national gathering, but re fused to confirm or deny the reported purpose of increased prices. It is known that a large number of shipping brewers held" a meeting In Chi cago a few weeks ago before the repeal of the war revenue and voted In favor of raising the price of $1 a barrel.
