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...
"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...
Bread is a kind of food made of the flour or meal of some species of grain, by kneading it (with the addition of a little salt, and sometimes sugar) into a dough, yeast being commonly added to cause fermentation or "lightness", and then baking it. The yeast causes alcoholic...
It is necessary before placing any piece of apparatus
on the market to thoroughly test it under similar

The study, design, construction, operation and care
or synchronous machines forms one of the most important
branches of electrical engineering. The extent to which
they are now being used is a notable feature of recent
electric progress.
The term synchronous machines covers quite a field

Described the Yaquina Bay and River from Yaquina to Elk City, the communities and industries there, and considered proposed channel deepening. "The General Government expended nearly $700,000 in providing a suitable entrance to Yaquina Harbor, but no advantage was taken of this improvement. On the contrary the commerce, which was...

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...

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...
M. E. Hard defines a mushroom as "a cellular,
flowerless plant, nourished by the mycelium which permeates
the soil or other substances on which the mushroom
grows".
In all probability mushrooms are the most, interesting of all the higher organized fungi. Within the past few years, interest in them has...
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...
Water is one of the primary wants of
human life no less essential than air and food hence

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

In the preparation of this thesis there were...
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...

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.

A feasible development for a Hydro-Electric power
plant can be found in the Mary's River. About 9 miles
west of Corvallis, the north fork of the stream affords
an excellent situation for a dam site. The canon of
