Some Scientific Theories Which Are , Nothing More Than Theories. The cause of the aurora Is still shrouded. In mystery. .Its electrical character can hardly be - questioned, and yet when It shows Itself there Is no great manifestation of atmos pheric electricity near the earth's ur face. Nearly all those who have tried to account for the existence of visible electricity high up in the air have dif fered In their explanations Fisher holds that electricity Is produced by the. coagulation of the particles cotf fmm the humid vapors on the margin of the polar lee caps: and that M M W tnee particles are mummaiea o u current (through them, the streamers L... tides ascending rrom lower . mjnn anj electrically opposed strata of the . - T alt ftmhahdltt tr for one of the features of auroral dla- fdaya is the frequent falling of frozen spicui rrom the sky. There Is a well authenticated case of a French artist who, while sketching, felt them fall ing on hi hands. Blot is alone in maintaining that the luminosity of the aurora la real cloud of metallic .mat ter lit up by electricity, and arranred like magnets In the air parallel to the dipping needle. De la Rive held that the Ught la, created by the Interchange of positive and negative currents be tween the colder and warmer radons of the atmosphere. ; The theorv of Prof, Loomis tends very much in the same direction. He believes that the abundant vapors ascending from the equatorial seas carry up into the high er regions of the atmosphere quanti ties of positive electricity, while the electricity of the earth remains neg ative. The positive current . Is con veyed by upper air currents toward the pole, where an interchange of elec tricity takes place a soon as a' cer tain tension is reached. The Inter change Is effected through spaces of the least resistance which the upper air regions are known to be and the streaming electricity, becomes lumin ous, and constitutes the familiar auro ral beams. The currents returning through the earth are held to be the case of the magnetic variations and the disturbances In telegraph wires. These "northern lights," which , have so long mystified mariners and scien tists, and been a source of dread to superstitious people, have been pro duced on a small scale la a darkened laboratory. In disassociating the re puted new gas argon, lambent flames, similar In every respect tt the aurora, were thrown off when a certain change in the chemical combination of the elements of the gas was reached. The smell of sulphur which is said to be an accompaniment of auroral displays is believed to be a further confirma tion of the ' electrical nature of the phenomenon, being possibly caused by the ozone, nitrous oxide, or ammonia which is formed In the atmosphere by the electric discharge during the thun der storms. All these theories are re duced to one simple explanation in the minds of those who believe that the -aurora Is but the slow and silent lightning of the poles. HOW THE EXPERT PROCEEDS. Makes Deductions From a Compar ison of Specimens Submitted. When a , piece of disputed or sus pected handwriting Is submitted to an expert, his first care is to note its gen eral appearance. He observes what seems to be the characteristic habits cf huii j in the writer, the sfyi-2. shad ing and connection of letters, their relation to the base line of the writing and other significant points. The same process is applied to specimens of the alleged writer's genuine hand, writes Daniel T. Ames In AJnslee's Magazine. The next step is to disintegrate the iwriiting so -that letters repeated In both specimens may be compared in detail when placed side by side. In this way divergences or resemblances, which might not appear to the eye In the body of a paper, are made per fectly clear. If any of the letters show signs of hesitation or retouch ing, as frequently happens in forger ies, they are photographed through the microscope. By this enlargement retouches or tracings are brought out so that they can be seen plainly by the untrained eye. ' ; Having made his examination of the whole writing, step by step, the ex pert summarises the results, number ing corresponding parts, and . calling attention to discrepancies or resem blaces as they occur. By this -process his conclusions - are made perfectly clear,' in all ordinary cases, to any body who reads his report. : In excep tional , circumstances, such as court trials, he may go before a Jury with blackboard and Etf ncil and show ex actly how a forger wrote a certain let ter, .as well as the way In which the persons whose writing was Imitated habitually formed it. If his deduc tions are accurate, the results pre sented in this graphic manner, usually are convincing to all intelligent and unprejudiced observers. It is one of the advantages of graphology that, ordinarily, its conclusions may be made as plain as the nose on a man's face - , ' . A Minister's Mistake. A city minister was recently banded a notice to be read from his pulpit. Accompanying It was a. clipping from a newspaper bearing upon the matter. The clergyman started to read the extract and found that It began: "Take Kemp's Balsam,' the best Cough Cure." This was hardly what he had expected and, after a moment's hesitation, he turned it over, and found on tne other side the matter Intended for the reading.

THE 5 PORTLAND UNIVERSITY Bed need to an Academy Tha Annual Gathering Adjourns Appoint ment of JfiDisttrs. (From Dally Sept. 2lh.) The Oregon conference ot the Methodist Episcopal church has clos ed Its session, the most important ac tion of , the session being that respect ing the educational . Institutions con ducted by the church in Oregon. This has been a sore . spot in the Oregon conference, and the disposition at this time was to bury all differences and unite In an effort to bring the main institution to the highest plane of ef ficiency possible. Ever since the ses sion of the conference began the com mittee on education bad worked hard to prepare a report on the subject of the consolidation of Willamette and Portland universities, and when the conference met yesterday morning, the result of the committee's work was presented in the shape of a report, recommeinding action. The language of the report did not suit some of the brethren, and. after a lorig debate during which the doors were closed and all but members of the conference were excluded, the committee was re quested to change the language of the report, and to change one resolution somewhat after which at 4 p. m.. the amended report rwas again received and adopted, which closes the career of Portland University as such, and makes it an academy, and Willamette University was declared to be the only Methodist university in the territory of Jhe conference. The adoption of the report was greeted with joy by the friends of- the Willamette University, especially since many of the ministers, who had In the past favored the Port land Institution, had ravlled to the support of the old pioneer educational Institution at Salem. Following is the report of the committee: ."Io making this report your com mittee on education would beg the privilege of calling the especial atten tion of the conference to the following facts:' '. ' The genius of the Methodist Epis copal church has always been the high cultivation of both the head and heart. In this Is largely due the efficiency of our ministry, so that we have gradu ally advanced until we stand in edu cational attainments reast of the other great denominations. We are Justly proud of our schools of higher learning where the youth can secure the highest educational culture at the minimum expense. We commend them to our ministry and people, because, "First Our - secular competitors or state schools nave made a great ad vance in facilities and methods; apid we recognize the necessity of meeting such competition, realizing that our young people are demanding the very best educational advantages. "Second Because too much em phasis carvnot be put upon - the need of spiritual environment. The religious training of the man must accompany the Intellectual to have fully rounded personality. This is the supreme ad vantage of our denominational schools and the polpt at which the secular schools fail. "That we may be able to put our universities, colleges N and academies in the front rank In every" respect we ask the attention of the conference to the twentieth century thanks offer ing. , . "Let- the Oregon .conference emter enthusiastically upon the plan pro vided by the authorities of the church and raise a magnificent sum of money for the endowment of our educational Institutions. "There are three schools within the patronising territory of the Oregon conference, namely: Portland Univer sity, located at Portland, with an effi cient corps of teachers, with Dr. Geo. Whltaker as president; Willamette University, at Salem, having a noble history, a worthy faculty, presided over by W. C. Ha1ey. and Santlam Acad emy, located at Lebanon, Oregon. "Most Important of all, perhaps, to be considered by you. Is the fact of the necessity of harmonious action In the adjustment of our educational In terests. It Is the opinion of your com mittee that some plan ought to be furnished by which the relation be tween Portland University and Wil lamette University may be harmoniz ed. I , ' "In our humble view this cannot be brought about by acrimonious debate, but by brethren who will reason to gether la a spirit of love. Let us have peace, not war; harmony, not separa tion. We will felicitate the confer ence upon the harmonious adjustment of the educational interests of the Ore gon conference. "We submit to the conference tlye following resolutions: ; - "Whereas, this conference recognis ed, the Portland University and en dorsed Its financial methods by the appointment of agents: and, "Whereas, much of the land In Uni versity Park was sold by members of this conference, acting as agents of the university corporation; and "Whereas, this conference agreed to the consolidation of. Portland Univer sity, and Puget Sound University, and the commission on consolidation lo cated he consolidated university at University Park; and "Whereas, the consolidation of the universities failed through . Inability of the two universities to meet the conditions of consolidation; and "Whereas, University Park and West Han have been surrendered to the auditors of Portland University, said surrender being- caused by the great financial depression and degradation of values, and the university corpora- tion is without endowment or land;4 therefore be it. ' -"Resolved, That we regref the fail-, ure to successfully consolidate the Portland University and the 2uget Sound University; and the failure, of Portland University to hold Its plant at University Park and to protect In vestors there. "Resolved.. That -.we 'regret the dis appointment at University Park, and that we advise boards of trustees act ing under the patronage of this con ference to avoid In the future real es tate entanglements. ".Resolved, that we recommend the consolidation of Willamette Universi ty and Portland University; that we request Portland . University to close up its work as a separate school by the end of the present school year; that we recommend granting tt the privi lege to continue as an academy correl ated to Willamette University, the Willamette University to adopt the alumni of Portland University and publish their names in .its catalogue, provided tt is agreeable to said Port land University alumni."
