JONAH AND THE WHALE.
A Shark story Which May or May
Not Give Some Light.

A correspondent of the New York Sun
adds this interesting bit to the current
discussion of Jonah and the whale, pre-
cipitated a week or two ago by a New
York preacher: "Why should the story of
Jonah and the whale be doubted when we
not only have the experience of the Eng
lishman, James BARLEY, who lived in the
stomach Of whale for a day and half
but also the following equally veracious
story which was published about the date
Of the occurrence and attracted much at
tention at the time? 1t is true that it re-
lates to a shark, but that makes no differ
ence, as it Is by no means certain that the
big fish that swallowed Jonah was a
whale
1.-The story, as l remember Il, was that
while a vessel was sailing in the Mediter-
ranean, having on board two passengers,
father and son, the former died on the
voyage In burying the body a sea an
AK and grindstone, among other articles.
We're put into the sack that the body
might sink more quickly. Scarcely, how
ever had the sack been launched over the
side OF the vessel when the son, frantic
with grief plunged overheard and at once
sank. Meanwhile on the following day
the sailors caught huge "man-eating
shark' that had been following the yes
sci for several days. as is its habit when
there is sickness on board. While IL was
lying on deck one Of the sailors heard a
peculiar sound proceeding from its car
cass. and on cutting Il open, what was
the amazement of the crew to find the son
turning the grindstone while the father
was sharpening the AK preparatory to
cutting their way out into daylghtr' IL
appears that the father had only been in a
trance, and both had been swallowed by
the shark. After this story, I ask. who
can doubt the story of James Bartley?"

Tuesday evening, May 10Th. The play
this year is a charming little. opera en-
titled "The Aloayde, F" and is distinctly
Spanish, the plot being laid in Seville.
Mr.. E. M. W aterhouse, '97, Of Portland,
took the part Of Farina. the love-sick
and trustful heroine.
College exercises cease in about a
week, the remainder of the year being
devoted to the final examinations.
Cambridge is to celebrate Its 5oth ami
versary on June Sd and great efforts ar,
being made to have the Harvard nnder-
graduates take part in the parade Con-
siderable relutance, however, is mani
tested on the part of the students, as the
celebration is in the heart of the final
examinations There is q strong feeling
that Harvard ought to participate in the
procession and this, it is hoped, will
overcome the principal opjecsfons.

DIR. Blanchard On Theosophy,
To the Editor Of the Press:

Your paper contained recently some ex-
celleutly written reports of addresses in
our oity on thsosophy. One of the last
of these contained many statements to
which as a student of theology, I should
give hearty assent. Nevertheless, it
seems to me my duty to make public
some facts concerning the Thoosophical
society which did not appear to be gen.
orally known. This is an ungracious
task. I would gladly decline it. Indeed,
have been strongly tempted to be sill
emit. But minister Is public teacher
and on him rests great responsibility.
To be silent, therefore, appears to me
sin.
/ ask your readers to make themselves
acquainted with the history of the
Theosophioal Society. This can be done
| by correspondence with DR.. Richard
Hodgson of Boston, secretary Of the Ame-
rioan branch of the Society for Psyohical
Research. The eminent psychologist,
Prof. William James of Harvard, is now
president of the international socieuy.
This society. in it's earnest inyestiga-
| tions of all psychical facts, sent an agent
to India to learn what Madame Blavatsky
was teaching and doing. The report
made was exceedingly oondemnatory.
Madame BlavatsIy was declared to be a
| fraud.
Recently Mrs. Annie Besant has gone
to India to continue the work OF Madame
| Blavatsky. l believe Mrs. Besant to be
| noble, though erratio woman. What
| she has learned in India has not YET
been made public, so far as l have seen.
| But Rev. J. Z. Sunderland, a Montana
clergyman, we'll known for his scholarly
books on the Bible,i is now visiting India.
He has recently written that Mrs Besant
| is using her powerful eloquence In
favor of ancient Hindooism, and not
| aiding Mr.. Mozoomdar, the leader of the
Brramo-Somay, in the least
| When one thinks of what ancient Hin
dooism is and what an apostle of ''sweet-
ness and light" Mr.. Mozoomdar is, it is
startling to think of the theosophist,
Mrs Besant defending the Hindooism
of India. MI. Stoddard's lectures enabled
us to know something Of this. In pri-
yate conversation with me, Mr.. Stoidard
expressed his horror of this system.
These facts, then, ought to be made pub
lilo and pondered.
There are thoughtful, excellent people
who do not seem to be satisfied with
religion of Jesus. Some of these give
ready and eager hearing to advocates of
the various isms of the day. When one
reads that the charming bride" of one
of the new leaders of theosophy sis re-
| incarnation of an Egyptian princess, y
he may we'll ask if there is anything in
| this new religion which is better than
the religion of Jesus.

Fresh Air Society.

An interesting meeting of this society
was held Tuesday, May 18th. The several
committee are busy at work and report
good progress. Letters have been re-
ceived from the country in regard to the
work and names of several bene1ciaries
have already been received. Each year
the work grows in favor, and more people
who have good comfortable homes in
Portland but still take their families to
mountain or seashore, remember those
less fortunate and send money to the
Fresh Air Society. They enjoy their
outing better by remembering that
through small gift from them ''bit of
Paradise'' has been let into tho life OF
some poor girl, worn out mother or siok
child. Names of benefoiaries may be
sent to the president,

NASHVILLE WAS SLOW.
Incident of the Atlanta Police Convention
"A Thousand Dollars in Souvenirs
Wasted.
Wasted

ssNfarshal Trickey relates an interesting
and unusual incident of the National
convention of chiefs of police at Atlanta,
from which he returned last Sunday. 1t
vas the third national convention. Last
year there was q close contest between
Pittsburg and Atlanta for the convention
the vote resulting in tie and the mat
ter being settled in favor of Atlanta BY
the vote of the president It was under
stood then that Pittsburg would be en-
titled to the convention for 1897. On tho
first day of the convention, "a week ago
Tuesday, the matter was brought nm.
Chief of Police O'Meara, of Pittsburg,
had arrived the day before and been ao-
tive in booming his city. There was some
talk that Nashville, Tenn, was a candi-
date but Chief Clark of that OF ty didn t
put in an appearance until after the vote
was taken and Pittsburg was decided
upon. Then Chief Clark put in an ap-
pearance ana invited the convention to
Nashville, for 1897. 1t also transpired
that the Nashville people had made very
extensive prep arations to secure the con-
vention. They had gone to an expense
of $1,000 in publishing large number Of
beautiful souvenir books to be distribut-
d at the convention. On the first page
was colored portrait of Chief Clark.
There were portraits of all the officials
also Of the city and also there we're de-
soriptions, views. etc.
All this expense amounted to nothing
of course, because the matter was settled
before Clark appeared with his souvenirs.
This was remarkable instance Of an
enterprising western city, that WAS slow
er than even the effete East in getting
there.
