How Flies walk on window panes,

The microscope reveals the neat con-
trivance which enables fly to walk up
window pane or defy the laws of
gravity by gliding along, back down
ward, on the ceiling. The magnifier
shows the foot to be made up of two
pads covered with fine, short hair, each
pad having hook above il. Behind
each pad is n bag filled with o sticky
liquid which oozes out whenever the fly
puts his foot down. The amount which
is pressed out of each foot is very small
indeed, but taken all together it is am
ply sufficient to hold the insect in any
position he chooses. st. Louis Repub.

handsome, but early in manhood his
habits of dissipation made him exceed

ho must have weighed over 900 pounds.
His features were regular. but his eyes
were so protuberant rs to be almost n

much SO that he could not recognize his

CITIZENS MEETING.

The citizens of Pullman realize
that the future success and pros
perity of the city depends upen
unity of action, and an exercise of
the strictsst business judgment in
manipulating municipal affairs.
That Pullman may take rank where
she belongs, as the business center,
the foremost city in the Palouse
country, the are now determined
that that desired result shall be
brought about, and that all shall
work in harmony lor advancement
and prosperity. The affairs of Pull
man as a city are in condition
that only such a policy will ever
free it from debt.
A meeting of business men was
held in the hall in the Webb block,
last evening, to discuss the con-
ditions that involve the town, and
to formulate, if possible, some plan
by which the interests Of Pullman
may be avdanced. A couple of
hours were given up to discussion
by the citizens present, the trend
of opinion being that the first
requisite is unity of action, and
that city government be inaugur-
ated that will have the support and
cooperation of every citizen of the
town.
To get the matter more fully be-
fore the people, a committee was
appointed to call another meeting
for some time next week, when sv-
cry citizen could be notified and be
present, as last nights meeting was
called ON short notice, and the at
tendance was not as large as was
desired. Mr.. GaddiS, chairman,
appointed Messrs. Reed, Person,
Pooke, Jabsrg and Stewart on this
committee and they have since set
Thursday evening, next, at eight
o'clock, in Reaney's hall, as the
time and place for the meeting.
Let this mass meeting be attended
by every citizen of Pullman who
has tho least bit of interest in the
future of the city. The pgrpOse of
the meeting is to discuss the affairs
of the town. Every citizen must
be interested in a meeting of that
character.
