WHEAT MARKET.
Wheat ib again reaching out for
the dollar mart, gays the Ore-
gonian, and, while it is not making
. the great bounds that distinguish
ed the first rapid advance of a few
weeks ago, it is steadily moving
toward a higher plane of price?.
In Portland Saturday it again
reached the 80-cent limit, from
which it dropped back about two
weeks ago, and it has again passed
that mark and Valley wheat is
quoted at 81 cents, with Walla
Walla bringing 78 cents. These
figures probably mean more than
dollar wheat did a few days ago
but notwithstanding that, the fact
a bushel of wheat can buy a great
many things, there is still a pros
pect for its buying even more be
fore the year is out or before
another crop is on the market.
There is but very little wheat
changing hands at the present
time, and the amount still in the
hands of the growers is variously
estimated at from 35 to 60 per cent
crop the former figure probably
being the nearest correct When
wheat advanced to a figure that
netted the inland growers 50 cents
a bushel at the nearest railway
station, they disposed of a large
amount, and it is the movement of
that wheat that is now taxing the
railroads and enabling Portland to
surpass all previous records as a
grain shipping port. The total
crop will fall short of that of two
years ago, but the indications are
favorable for Portland shipping as
much or more grain than was die
patched from there in that banner
year. This is on account of the
failure of the SonnJ to retain the
business which formerly went
there. The ditpositiin of the
growers to hold their wheat has
had a tendency to cause dullness
in charters, and there is but little
business in this direction. Ex
porters have ships enough to
handle their wheat, and wheat
enough to fill the ships they have
already chartered, so that they are
now bidding up prices on the
cereal, but are calmly awaiting de
velopments, and announce their
willingness to pay a dollar a bushel
for wheat as soon as export values
will warrant it; but in the mean
time they are not particular about
loading up for speculative pur
poses. At the same time, many
buyers express the lielief that the
price will go still higher, and are
not inclined to blame the growers
for holding on, althongb 80 cents a
bushel is a highly remunerative
figure for the grower.
BRYAN CONGRATULATES.
"Senator Jones has just informed
me that the returns indicate your
election, and I hasten to extend
my congratulations. We have
submitted the issue to the penp'e.
and their will is law." Mr. Mc
Kinley telegraphed in response:
" "I acknowledge the receipt of
your courteous messa?e of congrat
ulation with thanks, and beg you
will receive my best wishes for
yonr health and happiness."
The men most deeply interested
in the election have exchanged
the above friendly greetings. This
is a good example fcr the followers '
of each and should be heeded by
the people.
Thousands of men and women
breathe, move and live pass off
the stage of life, and are heard of
no more. Why? None are blessed
by them; none could point to them
as their means of redemption; not
a line wrote, nor a word they
spoke, could be recalled, and so
they perished; their light went out
in darkness, and they were not re
membered more than the insects of
yesterday. Will you thus live and
die? 0 man, live for something!
Bo good, and leave behind you a
monument of virtue that the
torms of time can nerwr destroy (

Roseburg Review: After all the
Oregonian's talk about Mayor Peu
noyer "Bryanizing" the Portland
police foruo, it is known now that
for the first time in many years
the police were kept out of politics
and the toughest wards in the
north eud of the city gave Mc
Kinley majorities. Special deputy
sheriffs recruited among the thug6
of Portland did considerable dirty
work, hut the dreaded policemen
of Mayor Pennoyer remained neutral.
The election is a thing of the
past. Its fruits, whether good or
bad, will be shared alike by the
people. No straw should be put in
the way of the new administration.
We all want the good times that
have been so faithfully promised,
to be Boon realiied. The victors
have a big contract in hand.' We
hope, for the people's e'ike, that it
will be speedily fulfilled.
It is reported that Mr. Hearst,
proprietor of the San Francisco
Examiner and the New York Eve
ning Journal, will start a daily
paper in Portland, soon after Jan.
1, 1S97. It is to lie hoped this re
port is true, as the people of this
state need a daily paper with an
editor who can hold the Oregonian
level and Mr. Hearst is the man
who can do it.
The Oregoniau of November 4,
Bays: ' Yesterday's election was a
most emphatic indorsement of two
public servants Cleveland, the
retiring, and McKinley, the incom
ing president The one leaves to
history record of which the most
exacting ambition might be proud;
the other enters upon an oppor
tunity the most aspiring hopes
might welcome."
The legislature meets early next
year, then the fun will begin.
Political sores were nicely healed
temporarily for the election of Mu
Kinley. Then they will 'reopen
with renewed irritation. A senator
if to be chosen. 1 he emigrant
'from Mart may be naturalized by
(that time and the contest will go
Imerrilv on.
I
i The Wasco News pointedly says
'that when it comes to bonrishness
and bad language, the Oregonian is
so far ahead of Tillman that he
may be 'voted a polished gentle
man. The Oregonian .talks about
such men doing injury to party. If
such is the case the Oeegoniin has
done the republican party irrepara
ble injury.
One more election and then the
people of the citv will have a
jmuch needed rest from politics,
j City officers will be chosen next
month. We have abundant ma
jterialoutof which to make good
officials. Let capable and honest
men be chosen.

We are all anxious to see a
permanent prosperity, and the
people are capable of doing much
toward it. It may be predicted
that the McKinley administration
will see the necessity of increasing
the currencv.

OUB THIRD EYE.
Scientists Claim That We Have
an Sxtrm OpUo,
Of
JJea IB MMM 1 U Lawat-
i tt Is
Recent researches prove that man
and all vertebrates aeem to poems tbe
rudimenta of a third eye. This discov
ery a not only very interesting-, but
also remarkably instructive .since the
rudimentary third eye of a man has, by
one of the most noted philosophers of
modern day6, been looked upon as be
ing the seat of tbe soul.
As organs by proper use develop in
strength and perfection, so they be
come weak by lack of use. If formacy
generations an orfmn should remain
without use its structure in time be
comes Bimpler and more imperfect. If
such a process continues throughout
Pes, an organ, by constant disuse, will
become reduced to a mere rudiment of
what it was in the species using the
ame. Thus, species of birds that only
v. u!k and run, but never fly, have only
rntlimcntary wings, as the ostrich;
while in the eagle and the albatross
tlie wings are seen In a state of perfec
tion. Now. in closely examining the skulls
of certain lizards, it iris found that
near the top of head, under the dark,
opaque skin, and often in the very bone,
an almost perfect eye exists, although
no ray of light ever could reach it. This
eye shows a crystaline lens, a retina of
very complex structure and an optic
nerve; in fact, all the essential parts
f a perfect eye. But being covered by
the opaque akin of the animal it is ab
solutely useless. If this optic nerve is
traced to the brain it is found to con
nect the eye with the se-called pineal
gland of the brain. This pineal gland
is. of course, in no sense of a word a
real gland, but a definite portion of the
Mt-rrotis tissue of tbe brain, invariably
Inccted just back and partly over the
cerebrum, and in front of the rounded
hrainrnass which generally is consid
ered to correspond to the corpora
qiuutrigemina in a man.
ThiB third eye of the spotted lizard
is called the pineal eye. on account of
(lie nerve connection of the retina witlr
the pineal gland. Now, while in cer
tain lizards this highly developed eye
is useless because it is covered by
tipaque skin, and in others even deep
ly bedded in bone, it would seem proba
ble that in aa earlier stage of develop
ment this pineal eye was not rudi
mentary, but in constant use. A very
slight modification would accomplish
Ibis namely, the transparency of the
skin covering the eye. This is exact
ly the condition of the normal eyes in
reptiles to-day; the skin covers them,
but it is transparent where it passes
"ver the eye. In the skulls of some of
tbe gigantic reptiles of the earlier age
of this globe, paleontologists have long
ago found a large round perforation.
Probably thiB was the socket of the
third or pineal eye of the ichthyosau
rus, the plesiosanrUE and the labyrin
thodon. But a much more important conclu
sion must be drawn from this discov
erynamely, that in all vertebrates,
even including man, the traces of thia
third eye runnin to-day. The pineal
i ye of lizard.'; b-iuj: connected with the
large pineal gland of the same, it
would seem that the pineal gland itself
is but the nerve center or optic thalmus
for this third eye. In all reptiles and
amphibia the pineal gland is large; so
it is also in fishes. In higher animals
the cerebrum develops very much, over
growing tbe more posterior portions of
the brain. By this preponderance of
the nerve masa the pineal gland be
comes covered by the cerebrum and as
sumes more and more rudimentary
forms. But it remains with obstinate
pertinacity. It is even always present
in man though here only of the siie of
a pea and rudely resembling a pine cone
in shape. It seems also degenerated in
structure, having hardly any nervous
tissue. These facts of form and st rucv
are have given rise to its name, that of
pineal gland. Popular Science Monthly-

A em-tons incident occurred at Ascot
recently. While a large number of
luncheon parties were enjoying the de
lights of an open-air repast in the gar
dens behind the grand stand, a great
swarm of bees settled down on the
guests around a table in a comer.
They buzzed and buzzed everywhere.
Ladies had bees in their bonnets and
gentlemen found their hats turned into
striking likenesses of "Catch-'em-alive-ohs."
Some of the swarm settled on
tbe cold salmon, and other members of
it tumbled into the champagne cop. In
fact, the bees created the greatest eon
rornation among the ladies and gen-R-men
in that quarter of the grounds,
"hey were gradually drawn off the
:ocheon party by a gentleman to
-'horn occurred the happy idea of trcat
i,T them to a little music on a metal
.-ay under a tree. After the tapping
- 'inkling on the article had continued
j - two or three moments, the queen
ute settled on the branches above to
listen to it, and was at once followed
by all tbe swarm. It was an extraordi
nary sight to see hundreds of the in
sects hanging like great black and gold
clusters on the tree while the tinkling
continued. It ceased with the lunch-
