The hunter who comes nome with a
tale of how he took refuge from a griz
zly tn a tree, and how the bear
climbed after him, is a nature fakir,
pure and simple, as Enos A. Mills re
minds hunters In the story of the “Ad
ventures of a Nature Guide." Yet this
curious misapprehension of the climb
ing abilities of the greatest of the
Ursidae persist* In many quarters and
Is not always accounted for by men
dacity. It seems to be a reasonable
explanation that when a grizzly sets
out In pursuit of a more or less inex
perienced sportsman, the latter is not
always in the attitude of a calm ln-
vestigator. Things are not precisely
what they seem when the normal po-
sltlons of baster and hunted are re-
versed.
It is the task of more than one
generation to put end to nature fak-
lng. Colonel Roosevelt, If he were
alive, would take delight In Indorsing
the works of Mr. Mills, who has re
cently become famous as a national
park guide, who revealed the delight
ful possibilities of guiding in the wil
derness as a profesión for ambitious
young men. The wilderness, says Mr.
Mills, Is really the safest place in the
world for defenseless human beings.
Not even the catamount or puma Is
dangerous. Colonel Roosevelt had al
ready assured us on this point, but
the statement will bear repetition.—
Portland Oregonian.
In Europe, some time ago, bones
were dug up of some newts which in
life had been about five feet long.
Every boy Is familiar with newts,
which he calls "salamanders,” com
monly found" In brooks and ponds. A
specimen five Inches long is a big one.
But five feet—they must have been
monsters.
Of course these giant newts were of
long-extinct species. It would have
been Interesting to live In those days,
when so many queer monsters (mostly
of aquatic habits) swarmed the earth.
They seetn to have been among na
ture’s earliest experiments, abandoned
later.
There were no mammals then; and
the supposition Is that all uiainmnls
of today, Including man, were origin
ally derived from a reptilian ancestry.
We cannot sny for certain that this
queer reptile (which lived about 7,0o0,-
000 years ago) was not actually an an
cestor of our own.
It was dug up tn Texas, and has
been named Dlmetrodon. About eight
feet long, the most curious thing about
it was the enormous tin it carried on
Its back—the ribs of the fin being a
series of bones extending from the ver
tebrae.
Of what use was this fin? Perhaps
It was merely ornamental. Or It may
be that It was a means of defense.

MISTAKES ABOUT SEA WAVES
$
Practically Indispensable In the Con
struction of Telescopes for the
Astronomer.
Voyagers on stormy seas come safe
ly ashore and tell their friends of
waves that rose mountains high and
at times threatened to overwhelm the
vessel on which they braved the deep.
The untrained eyes of the amateur
seafarer generally exaggerate the
height of the waves, and when the
statement Is made that the water rose
at least 100 feet above the vessel it Is
seldom that any of the auditors can
disprove It.
Exhaustive observations made by
scientists give the maximum height
attained by waves at not more than
sixty feet, and then only when the
wind has been of hurricane force. The
average height of waves in a strong
gale is about thirty feet, In a whole
gale about thirty-seven feet, and In a
storm about forty-five feet. The scien
tists further state that if waves travel
as fast as the average velocity of the
strongest winds and If there be swift
er waves produced directly or Indirect
ly by action of the wind upon the sea
they do not attain sufficient height to
form noticeable breaker*.

The man or woman who ventnrea
truck may fall often, but he will
achieve in proportion to those very
failures because he will use each one
as a stepping stone to higher effort.
But the man or woman whe quib
bles. reconsiders, hesitates and weighs
every gain against a greater loss is a
predestined failure, because his very
attitude should be avoided.
He who falls with his face forward
In the battle Is not a failure, but a
hero, Failure lies in turning the hack
on the foe, to retreat before the en-
emy.
When we speak of success we
should not think In terms of money
or position or fame, but of moral
courage, high endeavor, honorable
achievement. And when these are
translated Into active service the
world will become that Utopia of

sung.—Milwaukee Sentinel.
Spilling th« Chestnut*.
One Sunday In the late fall I took
my sweetheart to the country to call
on one of her cousins, who owned a
farm on which were some chestnut
trees. During the afternoon, we gath

would hold chestnuts, even to my
overcoat pockets.
That night we all drove to a neigh
boring village to church. I was hold

LIMITATION OF FOUR PER CENT STATE INDEBTEDNESS
FOR PERMANENT ROADS. -Purp-Ke: To amend Section 7 of
NO PROPERTY TAX-NO DIRECT TAX
NO INCREASE IN AUTO LICENSE FEES
NO INCREASE OF GASOLINE TAX
Keep these three facts in inind. The present auto license fees and
gasoline tax will pay both the principal and interest on all the bonds
under this amendment, and will yield an annual surplus besides for other
state highway work. No additional taxation of any kind.
FEDERAL FUNDS MUST BE MATCHED
Oregon must have sufficient Highway Funds to match Federal apportion
ments or Oregon cannot get the benefit of Federal money for Oregon Roads.
Increasing thia constitutional limit ia a necessity. Unless limit is increased,
either state roads cannot lx; completed for many, many years, or must be finished
by direct property taxation. This measure averts direct property tax for state
highways and makes early completion possible. Let’s get the roads built now.
Income from Present Sources Sufficient to Pay Principal and Interest
The fact that revenue# from auto license fees and gasoline tax, without increase of present rate«,
will be ample to pay both principal and interest on these bonds, is clearly set forth by official figures
iu the State Pamphlet, mailed to every registered vottr. Refer to State Pamphlet for verification.
Examine the table carefully It proves that no property tax is required and that present rates far
auto license fees and gua tax will redeem principal and inU-rest and yield surplus besiaea._____________

The threads of the garden spider
are fixed by astronomers in their tele
scopes for the purpose of giving fine
lines to the field of view, by which
the relative positions of stars may be
accurately measured.
For a century astronomers desired
to make use of such lines of the great
est possible fineness, and procured at
first silver wire drawn out to the ex
treme limit of tanulty attainable with
that metal.
They also tried hairs
(l-500th of an Inch thick), and threads
of the silkworm’s cocoon, which are
split into two component threads,
each only l-200th of an inch thick. But
In 1820 an English Instrument-maker
named Throughton introduced the
spider’s line. This can be readily ob
tained three or four times smaller
than tjie silkworm's thread, and has
also advantages in Its strength and
freedom from twist.
In order to obtain the thread the
spider Is carefully fixed on a minia
ture "rack,” and the thread, which at
the moment of Issue from the body Is
a viscid liquid, is made to adhere to
a winder, by turning which the desired
length of firm but elastic thread can
be procured.
