An Accident the Cause of Prince williams
Manned Arm.

An Accident the Cause of Prince Williams
Manned Arm.
A recent issue of the NJ dical Record
says:
The p esent difficulty of the Crown
Pr nee William dates from his birth, when
fracture of the le arm occurred, which
resulted in that member being about two
inches shorter than the other and has
given rise to the stories of his being afllict-
G with scrofula.
Prior to the birth o. her child, Empress
Victoria the then crown princess, was
seriously i'll, and Queen Victoria dspatcl-
ed from London two English obstetric ans
to attend her. These physicians found
themselves unable TO cope with the dili-

rived the necessity for a consultation.

Martin the elder, since dead, who at the
time was high in the circles of the court.
and pres dent Of one of the universit es.
Piqued at the introduction of the Enalish
in the case, the eminent scientist returned
this answer: "If | was not able to attend
10 the crown pr ncess n the first place,
am not able to do it now"
Emperor William, at that time king of
Prussia, issued an edict ordering Ii OBJ
durate physician to attend the crown
princes. Prof. Martin went to the palace.
lie was conducted into the presence of the
crown princess, where were the two Eng
llsh obstetricians. Saluting the crown
prince, who was in the apartment.
the German phys clan silently gave
his attention to the royal mother, overcame
the difficulty that had puzzled the London
doctors, placed the newborn infant in the
arms of nurse, bowed stifly to the two
professional gentlemen from England and
retired from the apartment without ut
tering a word.
Prof Martin was dismissed from court.
When the little prince was or days old
1t was discovered that his left arm was
fractured short distance from the shout
der The doctor who broke the arm felt
the snap of the infantile bone He kept
the news to himself The fracture of n
newly infants arm is not regarded
In medical profession as serious or at
tended with great danger. In this case,
however, when the bones knit the left arm
of the prince was shorter than the right
an it has ever sine so remained.
1t has been stated at different times that
Prince Williams eyes were bad. Had this
been the case he could never have passed
through the gymnasium
From this story there can be no wonder
at the deep-roote1 prejudice In the Princes
m nd against what he naturally considers
the interference of foreign, particularly
English, doctors in the case Of his father.
Whenever he glances down at his shorten
ed lett arm there must occur to him the
thought that but for the meddling in his
case it might have been as perfect as he is
in every other particular.

Convicted by a Monkey.

A lady was Mortified while passing
along Post street says a San Fracis-
co paper, to find u monkey perched
on her shoulder, and before she could
recover from her paralyzed condition
her gold watch and chain were in the
monkeys grasp, and the little thief
disappeared. About two weeks after
! the occurrence another lady, while
passing along Suffer street was
treated in II similar manner. Only
this time the monkey secured val
liable diamond, which was torn from
one OF her ears.
Two or three bystanders saw the
act and entered in q hot pursuit. A
policeman joined in the chase. When
the corner was reached the monkey
had as completely disappeared as
though the earth had swallowed
him. Nothing was seen in the i'm
mediate vicinity but a tall, we'll
dressed man, leisurely proceeding
down the street. Doubtless he would
have continued his stroll had not
the officer noticed a suspicious bulg-
ing under the right side of his loose
ly-fitting Prince Albert coat, and lie
was overhauled. Cinging us closely
TO nm as possible under the coat
was found the monkey.
Several gold watches and articles
of valuable jewelry were found upon
ms person, not considering the hand
some diamonds worn by him, and
the identical diamond taken from
the owners ear. When the case was
called next morning and the prison
er mad given his testimony, the pros
ecutlng attorney said
Your honor, have but one wit
ness to Introduce, when am willing
TO close the case. Call Miss Mono"
Miss Mono was at once brought
into court in the arms of a stalwart
police officer. Miss Mono was not q
young lady, but II South Americ an
monkey OF diminutive size. Her
language could not be interpreted
either for or against the witness. as
the monkey alphabet had not vet been
perfectly translated into English, but
her actions could. With a wripole
and a jump the little animal landed
plump in the arms of the prisoner,
chattering and bobbing about with
every demonstration ofjoy.
"lf the court please" continued
the attorney, 81 wish to prove by
this monkey that the defendant is
guilty as charged"
lie then waved his hand Mt the
ccrouching animal, which regarded
him attentively. Another motion
made in the direction of the Judge
caused the chattering little thief to
comprehend, and before the court
knew what was up, his watch and
chain were in the hands of the monk
eSAy,' seampering over to the accused.
The latter's face assumed "a deem
pallor for he knew that his former
means of living was lost to him. and
that San Quentin stared him in the
fdce.

Roofing a Mountain Cut.

A letter from Los Angeles, CAL,
says that an unique piece of engineer
ing is just being completed on the
Santa Fee line, through the Caion
pass, that will take rank with the
famous Tehachapi loop on tie
Southern Pacific" 1t amounts. in
effect, to roofing over the mountain.
Much trouble was experienced last
winter on account Of the lanoslides
IN TINS pass, which kept the line,
oiockaded most of the time, and to,
ooviate this difficulty this work was
designed. 1t consists of series
OF terraces, four in number, rising
up from the track where the cut is
the deepest, excavated so as to break
the forces of the water coming down
the slope, and carrying it off later
ally by a series of wooden conduits
and surface drains. These terraces
range from 500 to 800 feet in length
measuring in the aggregate 1900
leet, and are all rooted over. An
army OF men and teams have been
at work for msoe months.

not want dissolution as they know that

Good schools do more to induce settlers

like to settle in section of the country
where their children can not stand Il
change Of acquiring Il satisfactory edu-
cation. The Dalles is fortunate in hav-
ing fine academy located here and we
are always glad to be able to notice its
increasing property. The Wasco Inde-
pendent academy is established on its
merits as school and stands second to
none in this part of the country as an
educational factor. Such an institution
of learning is creditable to the city where
it is located and should receive the pat
ronage of the public generally.
The fall term of the academy will be-
gin Monday, September 7th with Prof
fessor Ingalls, in charge. He has proved
his ability to the satisfaction of the pa
irons of the school and we are glad to
see that SO able a teacher has been re-
tanned, for under his management the
academy has been pushed rapidly to the
front. He has not yet announced his
corps of teachers but his selection of as
sistants will no doubt be wise. 1t is to
be hoped that the people of this
part of Eastern Oregon will recog-
nize the necessity for the existence of a
school of the nature of the Wasco Inde-
pendent academy and give to it the
