r CAUSE OF THE AUItORA.
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

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

his conclusions - are made perfectly
clear,' in all ordinary cases, to any
body who reads his report. : In excep

trials, he may go before a Jury with
blackboard and Etf ncil and show ex
actly how a forger wrote a certain let

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

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

he had expected and, after a moment's
hesitation, he turned it over, and found
on tne other side the matter Intended

Wins Out in Methodist
Conference.
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."
