WING MOVEMENTS OF BIRDS.

Vol Marked characteristics OF Those
with Sustained Power OF Flight.
All birds of great and sustained pow
ers of flight have one we'll marked
misunderstanding have long wings,
with sharply pointed ends. And the
general truth of this will be atonce ad-
mitted if the rule be applied to species
celebrated for rapid flight. Another
point is worthy of notice. The appar-
cnt speed of flight to an. Impractical
eye is most deceptive. A heron, as it
rises and flaps languidly along the
course of brook, appears not only to
progress slowly, but to use its wings in
like manner. And yet the duke of
Argyll has pointed out, and every one
may verify the statement by his watch,
that the heron flaps it's wings at RI to
of not less than from one hundred and
twenty to one hundred and fifty times
in minute. This is counting only the
downward strokes, so that tho bird
really makes from two hundred and
forty to three hundred separate move
ments minute.
Our short-wingcd game birds fly with
incredible velocity, and any attempt to
observe or count their wing movements
leaves but blurred impression upon
the eye, whilst in some species SO quick
is the vibratory movement as to pre-
vent it being seen. Driven grouse, fly
ing down wind" have been known to
seriously stun sportsmen by falling
upon their heads. A grouse does not
move its wings as rapidly as u part
ridge, though n man was once clean
knocked out of n battery by grouse
which had cannoncd and killed another
bird in midair; and colliding is not IN
infrequent occurrence. As illustrating
the above qualities of fight, the case
of the kestrel, or windover, may be
taken. On summer day one may fire.

WERE BOUND TO PLAY POKER.
Newspaper Men, Out OF Cash, Put Up
Their Brains for Stakes.

Newspaper Men, Out OF Cash, Put Up
Their Brains for Stakes.
Poker has been played with every
thing from pea beans to hundred
dollar bill, but perhaps the most
curious commodity that ever passed
over the green cloth occurred the other
night among n party of newspaper
men, says the New York Herald
Somebody suggested tho evening
hours would pass moro quickly if
all hands INDUCED in the national
game. Every one was willing, but
when an account of stock was taken it
was discovered that there was only
about one dollar and fifty cents in the
crowd, and every one objected to play
ing for "wind." After a little discus
sion some one had an idea, which he
put in these words: Lets appoint q
committee of two as judges, then for
an hour let us sit down and write
short stuff for the Sunday paper
Everything that the committee agrees
upon as being good enough to be
printed shall be accepted as cash and
can be paid in as equivalent for stack
of chips"
This idea met with instant favor,
and for an hour or more nothing could
be heard in that room but silence. At
the end of that time each one produced
his quota of alleged interesting stories,
and the committee to which it was SUBJ
mitted, reading it all with lenient
eye, passed nearly the whole lot
Then the game began and furnished
the curious spectacle of men opening
jack pots for quarter of a column
and anteing with n "sticl1," with q

SUICIDE AT MARSUFIELD.
About the Chairmanship.

We are of the opinion that chair
man of the Republican State Central
Committee should be selected at once.
The party interests demand it. No
great organization can prove to be a
success without head. The right man
in that position would have proven a
great help to the Governor in the past
if he had counseled with him. A great
deal of preliminary work should be
done now. No two Republican papers
believe alike on the money question.
An inter change of Republican editors
would be good thing in this connection.
United effort constantly employed is
what counts now days. We are glad to
know that John +. Cole of Marshfeld,
is right in line. He has this to say:
In my opinion it would be we'll to
I'll. G. Thorn, of the State central COM
the reason that the interests of the
party at the present time demand it..
There ought to be some head to the
party in this State to help mold and
fashion public sentiment on the
different questions arising, especially
SO as next year we will be in the midst
of presidential campaign, and party
sentiment and public sentiment should
be shaped accordingly. This, 1 think,
can be done better through organization
by having man who would also use
his influence and official position to
preserve harmony IN the ranks of the
party. My preference for chairman is
Editor Coe, of Whitewater.
JOHN F. COLE.
In connection with the Craftsmanship
we would suggest the name of Thomas
B. Reid, of Appleton, as possessing the
essential qualifications for that position.
He has wide acquaintance with the
newspaper men as we'll as politicians.
E. D. Coe would be our second choice
for the same reason. We prefer Tom
because he is free from office cares.

Take Down Your Old Fences.

Since the advent of the COW ordinance
preventing cattle from running at large
in the streets of this city, very few
people have taken advantage of this
ordinance in the removal of their old
fences. We have noticed that lawyer
III. Wipperman, Eugene Miller and
Mrs. \. E. Emmons are the only ones
who haye thus far taken this oppor-
tunity. 1t is such decided improve
ment in the looks of them that we
would suggest that others follow suit
who have old fences about their
premises.

At the annual meeting of the T. B.
Scott free public library the old officers
were reelected as follows:
President-J. d. Witter.

The librarians report showed a total
of 2621 volumes, an increase of nearly
500 volumes during the past year. No
books have been lost during the year.
About 400 volumes are taken from the
library every week. This shows it is
well patronized.
