Boomerang Throwers.


The Australian boomerang throwers,
who have been in this city for couple
of weeks waiting for good weather so
ition of their skill OH the vacant lot at
First and E streets at II o'clock this
morning. A number of newspaper men
and others were present by invitation
of the prOprietors. Three of the canni-
balls took part in the exhibition.
The performance justified all that has
been said of the wonderful skill of the
bushmen with the ordinary looking cur
we'd sticks. King Bill took q BOOM
erang by the small end and threw it out
with great force at an angle of about
forty-fve degrees. 1t rose to height
of probably 60 feet with sharp cutting
noise, and maintaining its elevation de-
scribed circle of about 90 feet in diam
eter. When it had reached a point al
most above the thr0wer it gently de-
sccnded to within twenty feet of the
ground and continued its flight at that
distance above the gronnd for about IS
feet in front of the thrower 1t then
stopped its forward motion, gently des.
Cended Oh an incline toward the man
who threw it. falling to the ground from
one TO 25 feet from him, according to the
skill used in throwing. One fellow
threw one very swiftly through the air
about two feet off the ground. When
it had got about so feet from him. one
end struck the ground and the boomer
ang suddenly flew up in air Al an angle
of probably 80 deg,eps for distance of
80 feet.

The September number of the Louis-
ana School Review, published at Mon
roe by the Louisiana Educational Pub
fishing Co., lies upon our table. Prof.
H. E. Chambers, the eminent and we'll
pages are filled with matter of great in
terest TO all teachers and friends Of edn-
cation. Its first editorial article is en-
titled Ballot Reform and Education,"
in which the editor gives cogent reasons
why the suffrage amendment and the
Australian system OF voting should be
adopted. A contributor gives an in
telestiDg sketch of the Summer Nor
NAL at Opelousts, in which many fiat
teriDg things are said OF our town aud
people and this high compliment is paid
the teachers who were in attendance !:
"The lecturers said (privately) that the
teachers who attended the Opelousas
Normal were the brightest and best
workers they had ever met; the con-
ductor said their note books were mod
els for neatness and attention; they
got the gist of everythiug." In another
article entitled "Opelousas," the editor
emphasizes this statement, and says
many very complimentary things Of our
quaint old town" and its courteous
and hospitable people.
We shall take pleasure in repro
ducing these articles; but in the mean
time We earnestly suggest that every
teacher and every intelligent person in
terested in educational matters send
one dollar at once and get the Review
for one year. The number before rs
is alone worth that amount.

THE PROMISED LAND.
Why the Tourist, Traveller and Student
Should Visit Utah.

There are two reasons, either one of which
ought to be conclusive with every American
citizen.
First The trip from Denver to Utah via
Rio Grande Western, "Great Salt Lake Route"
is the grandest to be found anywhere on the
continent. No European trip OF egIal length
can compare with it in variety afd grandeur
Second You should go because, when you
have made this wonderful trip, you will find
Utah at the end of it-Utah, oI;e OF the worlds
famous spots and land of gold, silver, copper,
valleys; Of vineyards. fruits and flowers.
Salt Lake City, the capital, is OF great interest
ON account of it's historical and religious asso-
Citations. Here are Hot Thermal Springs,
Warm Springs, sulphur Springs, sanitarium,
Parks. Drives, Canyons and TIE most health
full climate on earth. Great Salt Lake with the
new and beautiful Saltair Beach Resort of
Moorish design, has no equal in America.
