Palmer and Pearl Har-

Capt Julius A. Palmer, the ingenious

MIGRATION OF BIRDS.
They f1y at Great Altitude. and Attain
Speed Wen Nigh Incredible.


Boston Herald: The investigations of
the celebrated artist and savant, Helm
rich Gootke. have thrown an interest
ing light on many facts hitherto un-
known concerning the migration of
birds 1t has been noticed that when
the time OF departure comes the birds
vanish as II by magic. This is explained
In various ways. The migration fight
is always at an extremely lofty altitude,
and IL also takes place generally at
night The structure Of birds renders
them capable OF existing at an incred-
ihle height. They can ascend TO an eie-
vaSion of from $4,000 to 10000 feet, and
at such heights sustain great muscular
Efforts for considerable lengths OF time.
AT this altitude birds attain to astound-
Ing speed. speed which seems to come
to them simply for the purpose Of mi
grafton. while the swallow is supposed
to hy with the speed OF the fastest train,
the northern blue-throat, a bird which
under normal conditions only hops,
makes the journey from Central AZ
riea to Heligoland In n spring night OF
scarcely nine hours. Its average rate
is therefore lS0 geographical miles an
hour. The Virginia piover. according
TO Mr.. Gootke. travels at the rate OF four
miles n minute that Is. $40 miles an
hour. This incredible speed Is OF course
only attained at great attitudes. where
the ertrsme rarity Of the air causes
less loss Of muscular power In over
coming friction and there is no wind
to act as an impediment to progress.
What guides birds in their migrationT
After nfty years Of study Mr.. Gootke
refuses even to attempt to answer OF
this question from a scientific point OF
view. What adds to the mystery Is
that young birds of the year-their age
not exceeding six or eight weeks-per-
form this first journey of their lives
with the same unerring certainty as the
old individuals which follow . month
or so later

A TRIBUTE OF LOVE.
TCoNTRIBUTED,1

There are occasions in the lives of all O
us when the stern decree of Fate seem!
hard to bear; occasions when we canno
understand the ways of our Creator, and iI
our finite wisdom we are prone to ask why
trials like these should come upon us
Death at any time is an unwelcome guest
but when his shaft has severed ties which
were so hard to break, ties which bound g
youthful, loving heart to all that mortal
| holds SO dear, it's doubly CRUEL. After hov-
ering above the home of Mary Pennington
for several weeks, the terrible enemy OF
human existence quietly setted down and
bore her to the realms of eternity. But
| three short weeks ago she was among her
friends contented and happy. Her ami
mated loving nature never seemed to know
care and, being of joyous disposition
she was loved wherever she was known.
Although from the first, recovery seemed
impossible and her death was hourly ex-
pected, yet when the sad news came how
many tear-dimmed eye spoke silently of
love for her and sorrow for her untimely
end. During her short illness she suffered
intensely, but never did those lips, now
closed forever, murmur complaint. Her
only thought was when she would recover
and how long it would be ere she might
take her former place among her friends.
She did not want to die and until the last.
Hope did not spread its wings in flight, but
as the end drew near and more intense suf-
fering made her realize her days were
numbered, she begged to be taken from
this world, and gently. silently within the
sound of voices that she loved, her pure
spirit took its fight to join the angel hosts
above A place is vacant in our homes
which never can be filled; an aching void
is felt within the hearts of loving friends
but who shall doubt that in the silence
ofher final moments she heard the answer
to her prayer and felt upon her wasted
brow "the breath of the eternal morning."
The following resolutions of respect were
adopted by the pupils. of the Public Schools
of Odessa.
WHEREAS. Our beloved school-friend,
Mary Pennington, has been removed from
her accustomed place among us by the
cruel hand Of Fate, and,
WHEREAS, We recognize in her absence
the loss of one who was bound to US by the
ties of life's early love and effection, than
which none can be more lasting, therefore,
ResotUed, that we extend to her sor-
rowing family all we have to give. the
heartfelt sympathy of loving friends and
schoolmates, whose memories there will
long remain most tender recollections
of her who is no more and
ResOtOed that as token of our love,
we. her schoolmates shall wear badge of
mourning for the term of twenty DAYS.
