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...
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...
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...
The study, design, construction, operation and care

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

The financial success or failure of a lighting or power
enterprise is measured by the efficiency of the machinery,

It is necessary before placing any piece of apparatus
on the market to thoroughly test it under similar

Certain uncooked plants, fruits, nuts, cooked vegetables

ideal dinner, and are aids...
In designing a machine of any kind, considerations

A feasible development for a Hydro-Electric power
plant can be found in the Mary's River. About 9 miles

the latter are necessary to express...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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

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...
