 Yuma Sentinel: County Recorder
 F. w. Sheridan, of Maricopa county,
 announced yesterday that he had re-
 ceived authorization from General
 Miles, through Col Chaffee and
 Major Dravo, to organize a cowboy company of 100 for service in the
 Philippines. The company need not
 be gotten together for sixty days, but Mir. Sheridan desires those wanting to join to call at his office or communi- cate with him as soon as possible.
 His instructions require him to limit the membership to cowboys or men who are expert in horsemanship, and he announces that no others need ap- ply MT. Sheridan some time ago wrote Col. ChafIee and Major Dravo, whom he knew at Ft, Mcdowell years ago, asking them to use their influence in obtaining permission for him to raise such company. The time limit allowed indicates that the gov ernment believes it will take some time to completely subdue the Philip pines and that the force of l2,0G0 men | to be sent out next week is intended for the occupation only of Manila and | other important towns.

She Action Of the Human Body Outstrips
Everything In Motion.

".s quick as lightning" is a phrase COL
loquially used to express the maximum of
rapidity, but, according to a well known
scientist, electricity itself is outstripped by
that old fashioned machine the human
body, by which it appears powers can, so
to speak, be generated in the brain, trans
mitted through the nerves and developed
In the muscles In an infinitesimal fraction
Of second.
1t Is stated that a pianist, in playing a
presto OF Mendelssohn, played 8, 500 notes
| In four minutes and three seconds. The
striking of each Of these 1t has been esti-
| mated, involved two movements OF the
finger and possibly more.
Again, the movements of the wrist, ell
bows and arms can scarcely be less than
one movement for each note. ASS "a notes
were played each second, and each involves
| three movements, we would have az vol
untary movements per second.
Again, the place, the force, the time
| and the duration of each of these move
ments were controlled. All these motor
reactions were conditioned upon knowl-
edge of the position Of each finger of each
hand before it was moved, while moving
1t, as well as of the auditory effect to force
and pitch, all of which involves equally
rapid sensory transmissions.
II we add to this the work OF the mem
DRY in placing the notes in their proper
position as well as the fact that the per-
former at the same time participates in
the emotion the selection describes and
feels the strength and weaknesses of the
performance, we arrive at a truly bewil'
dering network of impulses, coursine
along at inconceivably rapid rates.
Such estimates show, too, that we are
capable of doing many things at once.
The mind is not unit, but is composed
of higher and lower centers, the available
fund of attention being distributed among
them. -Pearson's Weekly.
