Hond meeting
held here Friday evening was
well attended and ah enjoyed the
addresses by Mr. Johnstone, of
Portland; L'rivatu McLaren, of
Vancouver, and C. L. Sweek, of
Heppner. The speaking was to
the point and that it had a good

a few men who had been luke
warm ware convinced of the duty
of true American citizens at a
time like the present. Hardman
always does her part.
The weather is cold and back

Latest French Aircraft for Observation
Purposes Requires Fifty Men
to Maneuver It.
Among the latest triumphs of the
French aerial service is an observation
bill loon, named "Le Caquot," writes a
I'siris correspondent. In shape it re
sembles a great tadpole. Whereas oth
er types are inconvenienced by a wind
of from 50 to 55 feet a second, Le
Caquot can remain in the air unless
the wind exceeds 65 to 75 feet per sec
ond.
It takes 50 experienced men to ma
neuver it, for as soon as it leaves the
xlied great attention must be paid to
the wind currents, so as to save the
envelope from being torn. Attached to
the balloon is a wicker car, in which
the observer is installed with his maps,
charts, arms, barometers, and tele
phone, the latter fixed over his ears so
as to leave his hands free. He is also
provided with glass and a white silk
parachute for an emergency.
When the balloon attains an alti
tude of from 2,000 feet to 3,000 feet
the windlass to which the cable Is fixed
Is drawn by horses or motor car at a
moderate pace to a point near the en
emy lines, where a refuge excavated
in the soil lias been prepared. This
accomplished, the observer transmits
Ms instruction by telephone.
Two anti-aircraft posts are estab
lished nearby to keep off enemy air
planes. If the balloon is menaced the
crew bring it down from 5,000 feet In
seven to ten minutes.

Glass Eye That Moves.
Capt. J. I. Aymard, a Hrltlsh army
surgeon, describes In the Lancet nn
Improved glass eye which can move,
The chief drawbacks to the ordinary
glass eye are that, being simply a con
vex shell of glass, It tends to sink
hack Into the socket and Is fixed in
itony stare. Captain Aymard gets
over these dlfliciiltles by placing In
the socket of the eye ft sphere of liv
ing cartilage or gristle taken without
risk from the patient's rilis. It Is nil
one operation. While one surgeon re
moves the destroyed eye, another sur-
;:eon removes the pieces of cartilage
from near the patient's breastbone,
Two pieces are made Into n little
::lobe. which Is placed In the snrket
iiihI the thin outer covering of the eye,
the conjunctiva, Is sewn over to hold
li In place. The ordinary glass eye
hi'l Is Inserted over this and Is pre
vented from sinking backwards. Some
Movement of the eye hy the wearer Is
siil.l to be possible.
