STAMP CANCELLING
MACHINE INSTALLED
There is a decided difference between
a postoffice that sells less than $20
worth of stamps in a month and one
that uses a machine to cancel its
stamps. Yet that distinction has been
the lot of the Hermiston office in the
past eleven years. The stamp sales
for Decern be.- 1905 were 919.85. To-
day the stamps on letters sent out
from our postoffice are cancelled by
machine.
The new machine was installed
Tuesday and works fine. It is a small
affair but is guaranteed to handle 280
letters per minute. The Hermiston
office also has the distinction of being
the only one in the county outside of
Pendleton with such a machine. Citi
delivery will be the next step forward.

FOOLING THE BATTER,
Tactics and Tricks Used by the Big
League Pitchers.
In the Woman’s Home Companion is
an article on pitching baseball curves
by C. H. Claudy. In it he says:
“Few big league pitchers depend on
many varieties of curve to ‘fool’ the
batter. No matter what the effect of a
wide and sweeping curve may be upon
□ne of your teammates, a curve ball
in the big league is as easy to hit as a
straight one, provided the batter knows
It is coming. But when a good pitcher
gets to work on a batter he doesn't
let him know what is coming.
“With three balls and two strikes al
most any major league batter is enti­
tled to believe that the next pitch will
be a 'fast one splitting the plate.’ But
If the pitcher has his nerve with him
It may be a sudden Inshoot Expecting
the natural straight ball and finding
about a tenth of a second before the
ball gets to the plate that it Is jumping
In toward him, the batter has no time
to change bls ’set’ and strikes out.
"The essence of any 'fooling' deliv­
ery, then. Is its unexpectedness. To
make use of this feature control of the
fooling' delivery Is necessary.
"And the easiest curve to control Is
the curve which is pitched most natu­
rally.
"That is why the big league pitcher
doesn't try to master the curves of
every other pitcher, but sticks to those
he can do best. The greatest pitcher
of the game won fame for his ‘fade-
away,’ the ball that withers and dies
at the plate after starting like a cannon
ball. But for every 'fadeaway' Matty
ever threw he pitched a dozen straight
fast or slow balls, and they all came
from the same motion. It Is not know I
ing until the last fraction of a second
whether the ball will go waist, high
plump into the catcher's mitt or weak
ly drop off to one side which makes the I
fadeaway' a terror."
SUSPENDED ANIMATION
Life That Looks Like Real Death, Yet
Revives After Many Months.
One of the most extraordinary mani-
festations of life is a condition quite
common among the lower animals and
known as anabiosis, or suspended ani
mation. The creature Is to nil appear
anees dead. The most refined means
of observation cannot detect a sign of
life. The blood has ceased to flow,
The nerves no longer respond to any
stimulation. There Is neither respira-
Hon. elimination nor sensation. This
state may last a long time, but given
the proper conditions the creature will
come to life again.
The lower we go In the scale of life
the more pronounced Is this state of
neither life nor death.
Some remarkable experiments con
ducted by E. Shultz and A. Singol of
Petrograd are described by the Berlin
correspondent of the Scientific Amer-
lean. The experimenters dried round-
worms till they were as thin as paper
strips, then cut them Into thin slices
When placed In water the tissues
swelled to their normal proportions,
and the pieces of worm resumed their
life just as do those of any worm that
is cut up.
They took some threadworms, roti
fers and microbes and dried them
thoroughly, kept them thus for eight
months, then locked them In an air
tight box from which all oxygen was
removed and through which a current
of pure hydrogen flowed
two
weeks. Thu* they were not only dried,
but effectually deprived of oxygen.
Yet on being moistened they "came to
life” again quickly. Strangest
those that had been locked
hydrogen chamber revived In
minutes. « hile those that had
of all.
In the

MONEY IN SALONIKI
Why the Merest Glimpse of It Will
Produce a Near Riot.
In normal times. If Saloniki is ever
normal, she has a population of 120,-
000, and every one of those 120,000 is
personally interested in any one else
who engages or may be about to en­
gage In a money transaction. In New
York if a horse falls down there is at
once an audience of a dozen persons. In
Saloniki the downfall of a horse is no
body's business, but a copper coin
changing hands Is everybody’s. Of this
local characteristic John T. McCutch
eon and I made a careful study, and
the result of our investigations pro­
duced certain statistics.
If in Saloniki you buy a newspapei
from a newsboy, of the persons passing
two will stop; if at an open shop you
buy a package of cigarettes five people
will look over your shoulders; If you
pay your cab driver his fare you block
the sidewalk, and if you try to change
a 100 franc note you cause a riot In
each block there are nearly a half
dozen money changers. They sit in lit­
tle shops as narrow ns a doorway, and
in front of them is a showcase filled
with all the moneys of the world.
It Is not alone the sight of your 100
franc note that enchants the crowd.
That collects the crowd, but what holds
the crowd is that It knows there are
twenty different kinds of money, all
current in Saloniki, into which your
note can be changed. And they know
the money changer knows that and
that you do not. So each man advises
you-not because he does not want to
see you cheated (between you and the
money changer he is neutral), but be­
cause he can no more keep out of a
money deal than can a fly pass a sugar
bowl.
The men on the outskirts of the
crowd ask, "What does he offer?"
The lucky ones In the front row
seats call back, "A hundred and eight­
een drachmas.” The rear ranks shout
with indignation: “It is robbery!” “It
is because he changes his money In
Venizelos street!” “He is paying the
money changer's rent!" “In the Jewish
quarter they are giving nineteen! "He
Is too lazy to walk two miles for a
drachma ! "Then let him go to the

ding Davis in Scribner’s.
Languages In Switzerland.
Both French and German are the
“official” languages of Switzerland.
Publie signs, such as those of rail­
roads, are printed In both languages.
Italian Is also spoken In those parts of
Switzerland which are closest to Italy.
As a matter of fact, the country is,
however, quite definitely divided as to
language. The cantons of Vaud, Neu­
chatel. Geneva, Fribourg an-J most of
Valais apeak French. The canton of
Ticino speaks Italian. The rest of the
country speaks preponderantly Ger-
man. The canton of Valais has differ­
ent districts, where each of the three
languages Is spoken.

FRANCE IS VERY GREEN
Every Possible shade Ie Shown In Ite
Amazing Vegetation.
It might fairly be said that the gen­
eral Impression France as a whole
leaves upon the beholder Is—green.
Perpetually moist of climate—except
in the south—endowed with heavy and
continuous rainfalls and having a tem­
perature which is astonishingly even
year In and year out the country is
like an enormous hothouse.
The result Is a study in greens of
every conceivable and inconceivable
shade. Verdure and foliage range
from greens that are gray or black to
greens that are hardly more than yel­
low. From the hardy pastures high
upon the sides of the towering Pelvoux
range, thousands of feet above the sea,
to the cactus and agaves and olives
that grow at the water’s edge the ver­
dant nuances are a revelation In rural
coloring.
But France is not all green either.
That is only the background, the filler,
as it were, for a warm toned picture
full of high lights, touched with the
gold of grain, the ruddy tiles of an­
cient roofs, the fiery spatter of pop­
pies. the tawny flood of a river or the
steely thread of a brook, and on the
glistening southern shore, with cliffs
as red as any soil New Jersey boasts,
water like melted sapphires, villas cov­
ered with majolica tiles that make the
beholder rub his eyes and wonder if he
is dreaming the amazing inebrities of
style and color that strive to but can­
not shatter the harmony of creation.—
