Thc>e birds, like the grouse family, fly with great swiftncss, and in n stern chase an eagle Is not in it at all with one of them. In order that the eagle may dine on sage hen some hard work is necessary, and the eagle has solved the problem.
 As the gentleman was driving along the side of n mountain he started covey of sage hens, which flew away down toward the valley. Suddenly m eagle, which had been sitting on the low ground, rose up under the birds, which immediately rose high in the air, while the eagle Topped up after them. When they had risen high enough, another eagle swooped down from above. The terrified birds scattered in all directions, but tho eagle singled out one, and as an eagle on the swoop goes like a shot out of n gun Inc soon seized his bird, and the pair flew off to n ncighboring cliff to dine.-Portland Oregonian.

WHOLLY FALSE. SAYS DR. o'HARA

In response to the statement of Health Officer Robbins, Town Health Officer O Hsra said to-day: ESQ far as it relates
 to me. the assertion is wholly false. As soon as I learn that one of my patients has sickness that is contagious immedi- a:ely report the case to the health officer
 Whenever there are any doubts in my mind as to whether the disease Is con- tagions or nor use all the necessary precaution to prevent the spread of the disease if it should prove to be such. and on being convinced of the na- ture of the case, invariably notify the proper authority. When speaking of me perhaps the health officer had in his mind recent occurrence in relation to an Italian child. which was sent to me by Superintendent Crosby of the High school, asking me to examine the patient and let him know what was the matter. reported to Mr Crosby that in my opinion the child was recovering from scarlet fever and counseled a thorough in- vestigation before admitting the child to the public schools. Whether that was done or not cannot say, | was not con- | suited about the case any further than l stated. I have always exercised the gr.ate 5t possible care in relation to tue sanitary affairs of the town and don't want to have the people believe would be lax in the performances of my duty in matters which pertain to the hsslth oz the city.

 Straws show which way the wind blows.
