Micro-organisms are a distinct class of unicellular vegetable organisms placed under the general name of bacteria instead of trying to affix either algae or fungi to this class of living beings. These microorganisms are divided into two classes; pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria. The pathogenesis is determined by inoculating a susceptible...
The mother's first thought, when her daughter finishes
her preparatory work and expresses a desire for
College is, "How can I let her go?" This seems the

great deal of influence on the health and character of
the family.
In planning a house, its special uses must be considered.
The house intended for a home should be made

Since this treatise is to deal only with the
construction of one special machine it is unnecessary
to go into an extended discussion of dynamo electric
machinery in general. Some of the parts common to all
electric machinery of this character will be mentioned
and then a short account of...
In long distance transmission where it is impossible to transmit a direct current for electric rail roading and for many other applications on a very low voltage percent line loss, it is essential to transmit the power by means of an alternating current at high pressure and then reduce its...
Living now in an age where the steam engine in
many localities soon will be a mere relic more than a
useful mechanism with which to convert steam into useful
energy. It is rapidly being replaced by the gas engine
and the electric generator, in which the latter is
thought...
As far back as History goes we have conclusive proof
that man has traded commodities with his fellow-men. At
first these exchanges were in the form of barter, a man
would trade something which he had and did not care much
for,with another man who had something he desired more....
This thesis is mainly a collection of historic data regarding the Union Pacific Railroad together with the opinions of various persons regarding the Union Pacific; also opinions on corporations in general and railway corporations in particular.
In designing a machine of any kind, considerations
must be made regarding the kind and amount of work
it will be required to do, the foundation for its support,
and the amount of space available for its occupancy.
An engine which is to be used for driving an automobile
must...
The data used in the design of this hydro-electric
generating station was furnished by Hon. Walter M. Pierce
from a survey conducted by T. R. Barry C. E. in the service
of the Grande Ronde Water Co. during the summer of
1906.
In the preparation of this thesis there were...
Simple as may seem. the subject, "A gas engine
muffler," to the reader on first thought, if he will
but take time to consider the importance of such a
device in connection with the operation of internal
combustion engines, he will probably come to the
conclusion that it is not...
A mineral map is often of considerable value to
those interested in miring work and development. Since
there are very few, if any such maps for Oregon, we have
endeavored to cover the ground, though only in an incomplete way, since the time we had for working upon it was...
The financial success or failure of a lighting or power
enterprise is measured by the efficiency of the machinery,
and the efficiency of the machinery depends upon
that of each piece of apparatus of which it is composed.
In alternating current distribution the transformers are
frequently scattered in large numbers...
The proposed hydraulic power plant, incorporated
under the name of, "Minem Light and Power Company",
is located on the Minam River, about two miles above
the junction of the Minam and Wallowa Rivers. This is
about three miles above the county highway bridge which
is on the Wallow River, this...
The electric motor has for an number of
years occupied an important position in the operation
of wood-working machinery, of moderate capacity, for
example the planing mills, sash and door factories
and many of the other similar wood working shops.
However its adoption in the more trying field of saw...
By an appropriation of the Oregon Legislature of it becomes possible for the Oregon Agricultural College to build a drill shed, a thing long needed by this institution. Dennis, Hendricks and Tobey, architects of Portland, submitted plans for this drill shed and in designing the truss for this building we...
The design and specification of a dwelling house
constitutes the thesis of the student Arvid Anderson
of the class of '08.
This thesis consists of two parts, namely: drawings
and written description or specification. The drawings
and specifications are to be considered as cooperative,
the latter are necessary to express...
There is no article of food more commonly used
in all parts of the world than the egg. It can be
served in so many ways and has such a high nutritive
value that it is universally used as a food, by the
uncivilized native as well as the most...
"After writing this thesis I have drawn for my
conclusion that cereal breakfast foods as a class
are nutritious, convenient, and reasonably economical
foods and should have a very important place in the diet."--Conclusion
"Salads are not a food of nutriment but are healthful because of mineral salts, which contain cooling and crispness properties--variety they give the diet.
And salads should be served at every luncheon and dinner, the meat salad being served at luncheon or supper, while the lighter in dietetic value with...
In the educational wave that is sweeping our country from ocean to ocean, technical education is at its crest, and no phase is more popular than domestic science. Indeed it has such a hold upon public opinion that it is quite the fashion, a commendable fact, for as soon as...
Electricity is the name given to an invisible agent known to us only by its attendant phenomena and by various manifestations called electrical. These manifestations, at first obscure and even mysterious, are now well understood. Indeed its great importance to mankind can only be realized when we remember that it...
The following discussion is confined mostly to
that type of machine in which the squirrel care revolving

listed simply of a disk- aramature as described by Baily
in 1870 and due to Tesla (1888), of the fact that two,...
There is probably no article of diet of animal
origin more commonly eaten in all countries or served
in a greater variety of ways than eggs. Milk is the
nearest rival and it resembles eggs in that both are
intended by nature for food for the young. Although
not a...
Water is one of the primary wants of
human life no less essential than air and food hence
the strong and religious interest that has been
attached to the means of its supply. In the earliest
records of civilization we read of the digging of
wells and building of water...
Slowly and half-heartedly the people of America have come to atone for past neglect of a poet who, under painful circumstances, produced the most distinctive and original contributions to American literature. They realize that the follies of his unfortunate life can be put aside and the weight of criticisms let...
Evolution, development and progress mark the pathway of mankind from the earliest history of the race to the present time. In art, science and literature, remarkable transformations have taken place; in habits, customs and modes of living; we have passed from the primitive conditions of wild, savage tribes to that...
"Moulds are minute vegetable organisms, without
chlorophyll, threadlike in structure, and reproduced
by spores.
The general appearance is a dense felt-like mass
of white threads, at first soft and fluffy, and when
fruiting are covered with blue, green, yellow, black or
brown spores. The threads are very small, some just...
Before we can write intelligently concerning
any subject, we must understand exactly what we are
writing about. As the title tells us, this thesis
deals exclusively with the work and incidentally with
the lives of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, two
notable nineteenth century poets.
Certain uncooked plants, fruits, nuts, cooked vegetables
and meats seasoned with condiments and dresses
with oils constitute what is known as salads.
The salad plant contains no appreciable amount
of nutriment, yet are, owing to their crispness and
cooling properties, an indispensable portion of the
ideal dinner, and are aids...
