TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, AUGUST 17, 1911 ' POWER OF AN AUDIENCE. I I Influence It Exerts Over an Actor er s Speaker. No orator living waa ever great enough to give out the same power aud force and magnetism to an empty hall, to empty seat», that be could give Io ao audience capable of being Bred by his theme. In the presence of the audience Iles a fascination, an Indefinable magnet Ism. that stimulates all tbe mental fac ulties and act» as a tonic and vitallzer An orator can say before an audience what he could not possibly have said previous to going on the platform. Just as we can often say to a friend In animated conversation things which we could not possibly say when alone As when two chemicals are united a new substance Is formed from tbe combination which did not exist In either alone, tbe speaker feels surging through his brain tbe combined force of his nudfence, which he calls Inspl ration, a mighty power which did not exist In bls own personality before he rose to his feet. No public »peaker ever forgets that first surprising feel Ing of confidence. Actors tell us that there Is an Inde scribable Inspiration which come« from the orchestra, tbe footlights. Hie auill ence. which It Is Impossible to feel at a cold mechanical rehearsal. There is something tn a great sea of expectant faces which awakens the ambition and arouses tbe reserve of power which can never be felt except before an au dience. The power was there Just the same before, but It was nut aroused.— Success Magazine. A SOLEMN MOMENT. When the Great Mail Steamer Was Stopped In Midooean. Tbe great steamship wavered: the Screw revolved more slowly and grad ually ceased to turn. There Is some thing uncannily disquieting about an unmovliig ship in tbe middle of tbe ocean, and for a few moments there were fearsome rumors among the sec ond and third cabin passengers. Tbe steerage, being uearer to the heart of things, understood wbat was going on. Tbe deck stewards went about ex plaining. and as they explained tbs passengers moved to points of vantage. Then all was very quiet—quiet even for the sea. A man whom the first cabin passen gers knew to be a famous bishop step ped down from among them. A heavy, clumsy, grewsome bundle was brought up. Over It the bishop, with bared and reverent head. Intoned tbe service for those who are burled at sea. Aa tbe blabop spoke the words of committal. "We therefore commit his body to the deep, to be turned Into corruption, look ing for tbe resurrection of the body, when the sea shall give np Its dead." a door In the bulwarks was lifted for the bundle and let down again, tbe ship begab to move, alugglahly at first, then smoothly aa was Its wont, and the passengers went back to their games, their books and their lovemaktug. The greatest event In tbe dead stok er's career was over. He had stopped his majesty's mall.—Exchange. The Eskimos and the Bible. Frauk Cross, a missionary among the Eskimos, has found considerable difficulty In using tbs illustration of tbe Bible In arctic regions. He gires two amusing anecdotes to bear out bls statements. First, bow bls Eskimo in terpreter translated a well known text Into the following: “Every log that bringetb not up good 'applk* Is cut up and used for firewood," “applk’’ being the Eskimo for dried apples and tbe nearest thing to fruit that they know. Agalu. of law. Justice anti government thev have not tbe remotest uotion. Mr Cross' ties rest neighbor bad hun dreds or dollars worth of furs depos ited In a cache. Wishing to preach on "Where Thieves Break Through Slid Steal." the Interpreter gave up bls attempt at translation, for be sold such a thing waa Impossible among them.—T. P.'s ismdon Weekly.

One west side woman who thought hersoir an anient suffragist was »nr prised to learn that other mem tiers of llie sisterhood did not share her opia lou. “Why do you doubt tuy devotion t» the cause!" she aaked.

TESTING AN OCTOPUS. Ths Power of This Repulsive Creature Much Overrated. There have been made abroad ex periments with an octopus, in a spe cially devised tank of sea water, in order to test tbe truth ot the many stories told ot monster cephalopods dragging human victims to tbe sea ! bottom, says Harper's Weekly. In the tank with tbe octopus there . was placed a "dsrnmy” of tbe same specific gravity as a man. and this was bHlted with a crab Attracted by this tempting morsel, tbe octopus made for tbe figure, seized It In Its powerful arms aud tried to drag It under wa ter without success. It then urged Its body toward tbe edge ot the tank. and. bolding tbe glass with some of Its arms. It dragged Its prey beneath the surface and crushed the crab shell with Its powerful Jaw». It Is believed that these experiments afford proof that the octopus can only drag its victims far below the water near rocks to which it can attach its suckers. There Is one spot tn the bay of Naples where these creatures attain a large size, and now and then a fisher man Is reported missing. It Is thought that such d Isa pi>ea rances are due to ttie unfortunate man being caught by tbe leg by a concealed octopus and dragged under water. In the case of sticb a repulsive and powerful creature as the octopus It Is difficult to separate fact from action. A VACATION IN BED. Twenty-four Hours’ Sleep Versus a Week’s Holiday. If yon want to obtain complete rest and recuperation equal to a week's va cation In minimum time sleep the clock around twice Is tbe advice of a physl clan wbo holds a high place In medical circles in England. "To spend twenty-four hours In bed." he said to a friend. "Instend of rushing away for a few hours’ change of scene when yon are run down physically and mentally. Is worth a week’s bolldny. The night before, having gone to a theater to take the mind off worries and having snpped wisely and well. In structions should be given that the morning calling shall be omitted. “Then sleep. On waking turn over and sleep again. On waking again ring for some hot milk. Drink It and sleep again and keep on sleeping Have nothing tn the Intervals more aubstan tlal than soup. Do not read. Keep tbe eyes shut constantly. Have a warm bath In the evening and sleep again. “When you are tired of sleeping sleep again for tbe night. Nothing calms the nerves more than resting the eyes.”—New York Herald. Remember the Beker. At the court of assizes tn Venice when sentence of death la about to be passed a man clothed In a long black robe enters tbe court and. advancing to the bench, hows profoundly to tbe Judges. saying. "Remember the baker!" Then be bows again and retires, Here Is the explanation of the cus- tom: Three centuries ago a baker was executed at Venice for a crime of which he was not guilty. When his Innocence was fully proved the judges wbo condemned him Invested a sum of money, tbe Interest on which serves to keep a lamp perpetually lighted tn tbe palace of tbe doges, this being called tbe "lamp of expiation." In ad dition. their fatal mistake has for 800 years been held up as a warning to their successors on tbe bench when they are about to inflict the extreme penalty of tbe law. The Box Tortola«. Though the tortoise Is slow of foot It Is quick to make tbe beet of all Its avnllnble modes of defense. Tbe box tortoise poesesses a singular defensive apparatus The plastron or shell cor erlng the under part of the body Is so formed that Its front segment can be drawn upward to protect tbe animal's bend, the head meanwhile being drawn back under the carapace or shell on the back of the tortoise. Tbe upper and un der shells then meet In front, forming a kind of bor in which the creature Is unassailable. When the danger le pass ed the reptile relates a muscle and the raised part of the plastron falls, al lowing tbe head and fore feet to come forth Thia movable plate Is fastened to tbe plastron by a strong hinge of elastic ligament.
