be the ski, lin whose use they became
skilled in their youthful days in their

'Stories of the proficiency of Norwe-
gians in the use of ski have been fre-
quently told" said Aune to-day. There
is no easier means of locomotion over the
snow. 1t requires years to become expert
in their use, but, having mastered them,
the skiI-runner will climb mountains,
overleap obstructions, and glide with ease
and rapidity over places where men other
wise equipped could not possibly go. We
will carry extra ski, using them as run
ners for our sIedges on which we will carry
our provisions. Dogs will be used to drag
the sledges. The mem bers OF the party
travelling ahead of the dog teams will
make a good trail for the latter, rendering e
progress rapid. We will probably make

DUNHAM IMPROVING.
An Encouraging Report Comes From
the Bedside of the WeII-Known
Merchant.

u
BENJAMIN F. Dunham of the firm of
Dunham & Carrigan is suffering from
acute pneumonia.
He had been suffering with slight
cold for several days, but it was not sup
posed to be serious enough to cause any
anxiety.
Tuesday afternoon he became so much
worse that physicians were called in and
pronounced the trouble TO be pneumonia.
The patient grew rapidly worse, and
Tuesday night congestion of the lungs set
in. Matters appeared so serious yester-
day morning that q consultation OF ply
sicans was held, and they decided that
Mr.. Dunham's hours were mum bered.
Mr. Dunham is senior mem Der of the
firm of Durham, Carrigan & Hayden,
hardware merchants of San Francisco,
and one of the most prominent men in
Oakland.
He is now 65 years of age. He has lived
in Oakland for many years, and though
his business interests have ssarily
cumpelled him to pend the mai jor part O.
hi, time in San Francisco, yet he has
always taken an interest in OaklanG's S
welfare Almost since its organiza ton.
Mr.. Dunham has been the president of
the board of trustees of the Unitarian
Church.
"Mr. Dunham is somewhat better" said
Dr. Selfrldge late tonight. He has
rallied somewhat although We cannot say
that we have much hope unless the change
should continue"

special Dispatch to TIE CALL

ALBUQUERQUE, Nov. "a herder in
charge OF a flock of 2000 sheep, which
were grazing near the base of the San
Francisco Mountains. in Arizona, was
killed BY lightning during a terrific orm
which visited that section about the 1st OF
August. AS the herder was not expected
to come in with his sheep until the 1st oi
October, his absence during August and
Septem Der attracted no attention. When
the middle of October came and he did
not show up, messengers were sent out to
find him.
After search of some days in the vicin-
ity of where he was last seen, the remains
of 4 camp were found under tree which
had been riven by tn e lightning. The
cookin Q utensils were scattered about, and
tie remains of blanket were found.
which were identified as parts of one
which the man had taken with him. The
water keg also was recognized by mark
which had been burned into one of the
slaves.
A further search revealed the bones of a
human being scattered about over the
ground, some of them more than hum
dred yards from the tree, having evidently
been carried about by wolves. A pros

the first OF August and said the hero was
then moving northward. This tree,
around which these articles were found,
was just about far enough north to have
been the next campin g-place, and when it
was remembered that there was severe
storm of thunder and lightning in that
section one night about the time referred
to, II was clear that the man had made
his camp under this tree and had been
Killed by lightning and his body devoured
by wolves The sheep had never been
heard OF and no trace of them could be
found anywhere in that part of the coun
try.
But now comes the strange part of the
STORY. About two weeks aZo q herd of
ABOUT 1000 sheep were found on the plain
In 6an Miguel County in this Territory,
with no one In charge OF them, and to all
appearances belonging to nobody. The
| parties IN Arizona heard of this TACT and
wrote to an officer in his territory, giving
their marks and explaining how the sheep
could be identified. 1t was found beyond
any doubt that this was the herd that
had disappeared from the range in Arr
zona about the first of August. The ami
mails had been shifting for themselves for
more than three months and turned up
at point fully $40 miles from the place
where the herder was killed. They had
crossed the Rio Grande on the way.

BUENOS AYRES, Nov. Ex-senator
Viera, one of the Government supporters
in the Brazilian Senate, declared yester-
day in open session OF that body that the
opposition had predicted the death OF
President Moraes before November 8.
This statement. taken in connection with
the all ged plot which led to the recent
attempt to Kill the P esideHt, caused a
sensation. Senator Barcelos OF the Oppo-
siton protested vigorously against this
charge.
In the Chamber of Deputies Seabia in
an attack on the Opposition declared that
that party was made up of anarchists.
This aroused a hot discussion in that
body. The many charges made have
caused the Opposition to publish meni-
festo denying any responsibility for the
attempt on President Moraes' life. This
manifesto, which sets forth that the at
tempt grew out of discomfort in the army,
was not well received.
Comparative quiet reigns in Rio Ja-
neiro, though troops are still quartered all
over the city and an armed patrol sur
rounds 1t.
The Minister OF Foreign Affairs has re-
ceived information from the authorities
of Spiritu Santo that Italian riots oc-
CURED there yesterday and has ordered
troops to that place. The | alians as
sen bled in public places and insul,ed and
maltreated the natives. The police were
unable to disperse the Italians and finally
the Cnief of Police ordered his men 10 fire
into the crowd Four Italians were killed
The chief was sus pended pending an in
vestigation. The Italian Charge Affairs
has received orders from Rome to demand
redress for the alleged outrages on Ital-
ians. In the meantime the Italian Club
in Rio Janeiro has cabled to Rome asking
that measures be taken at once to protect
Italv', subjects. Great uneasiness is felt
at Rio Janeiro as to the result of these

From the Chicago News: w. Spoon,
the naturalist, asserts that the musk
rat. when Obliged to go beneath the
Ice from one side to the other Of a pond
has q curious mode Of taking along
his air supply. Instinct teaches him
to take In a deep breath before start
ing. but even this he knows will be
insufficient for the trip. Accordingly
he halts occasionally and exhales the
exhausted air from the lungs.
This air, being confined by the ice
in the shape Of a bubble. and in full
contact with the icy water, becomes al
most instantly reoxygenated. When
the transformation Is completed the
wise rat again takes in his old breath,
which is now fresh inspiration. Thus
reiuyenated, he again dives out OF
sight and begins swimming for the
other side. only coming up against
the ice as often as II is necessary for
him to refreshen that valuable little
breath OF air
But few hunters and trappers ara
aware OF the muskrat's odd plan OF
changing his poisonous breath into 4
fresh inspiration, but those who ar,
take mean advantage. BY striking
a heavy blow on the ice the air is dis
persed and the animal dies OF as.
