The chief advantage gained by Amer.
lean diplomacy at Berlin is the agree
ment of Germany to an election in Ea-

shall be king Of the islands. The begin
ming Of the international troubles was
that the Germans at Samoa deposed the
king, Aialietoa They did this against
the protest Of the American consul, on
the plea that Maietoa could not preserve
order. dalietea's adheFents decided that
aEataafa should succeed him The Ger
mans, however, favored Tamasese for
king, and there has been war between
the two parties ever since. Bythe agree
nent at Berlin among the three treaty
powers an election will be held The
three, Malietoa, Alataafa and Tamasese,
will be candidates. The SaEaoans arc to
vote fully and freely and elect one Of
them king, and the powers viii abide by
this verdict.

Ducks Killed On Li1hf,,iu1

A strange sight was witnessed at
Washburn, OAK, recently, during Il
severe thunder storm. When tic storm
was at its height an enormously large
flock Of ducks was seen coming from
the north. 1t was undoubtedly tho
largest Hook ever seen in this section of
the State. The sky was black with the
birds and the number was variously cs-
tinatcd at from 500 900 to 1, 200, 600.
They were terror-stricllcn, and flew
along wildly, making Il great noise.
instead of flying high they scurricd
along close to the ground, and the flap
ping Of their wings provoked tumult
that could be plainly heard above tho
roar OF the thunder Suddenly there
came vivid fash of lighting. followed
bya terrific peal Of thunder. At tho
first flash hundreds Of the birds fell cry.

instantaneous, for there was not even

birds that escaped few on, still keeping
up their hoarsc cries. After the storm

found on the ground. Probably 10, 600
of them were killed by the lightning.
