KALAMAZOO.

hive you heard the pretty legend, sad md
mournful and yet true,
OF the brave and dusky lover and the Indian
paid Mahzooi
How they Mved and 10 ted and wandered on
the rivers shady shore,
Happiest of Indian lovers in the days that are
no mOref
All day long the maiden labored, weaving
baskets by the stream,
Thinking Of her love, her Kahla, weaving him
into her dream;
Then he comes--she hears the rowing OF his
light birch bark canoe.
"Kahla'' calls she. Cries he Coming, COM
ing to my own Mahzool''
All, one night she waits In silence! Sad her
face-her love Is dead
Wounded in the chase, her warrior in n fort.
night to be we'd
In the morn they find sweet Mahzoo lying
silent in the stream,
Gone unto her lover Kahla, nevermore to
watch and dream.
Still the echoes DER the river may be heard
soft through the air
Echoes of the warrior Kahln and Of young
Mahzoo the fair
All the trees repeat the whisper, all the rip
pies murmur, too,
In the stream that bears their name now
bears the name Kalamazoo

Great bodies move slowly, and for
This reason the City Council appears to
be i'll no hurry to arrange for Il suitable
lookup in the basement of the New
City Hall building. The present cage
has long been disgrace to any back
woods corner and should be vacated at
once. Why this delay, members of
the Mayors Board ? And ia this con-
neclion why is the Mayor SO anxious to
push the police into the basement ?
We are informed that the Aldermen
would have provided a decent place for
the police but that the Mayor said the
basement was good enough for the pc
lice officers. Perhaps the Mayor thinks
that all the police department was
created for was to guard water pipes;
and now that the struggle is over, their
importance to the " welfare of the city
will cease.

THE FINGER TIPS.
Their r. e1na rkab BILE Value In the Iden.
tffcatiOn of Criminals.

Their Re4na able Value In the Iden-
tihcntiOn of Criminals.
In detective novels finger prints left
by criminals, preferably In blood, play
an important part, but truth seems
stranger than fiction In the fact that
the finger print system of Identifying
criminals in India has been made so
perfect that 1t would enable any intelli-
gent person in few minutes to distin-
gish the individual If necessary from
all other persons now living in tho
world, or, if data were available, from
all other persons who have lived since
the creation of man.
The system is simplicity itself, and
there is none Of the elaboration Of proc
ess or the costly and delicate machinery
required for the anthropometric system.
All that is needed Is piece Of tin, a
sheet of paper and some printers Ink.
The linked impressions Of the ten digits
are taken and filed In the proper COM
partment of the proper pigeonhole, and
it is on the classification of records and
their distribution into the pigeonholes
that the success Of the system depends.
Every finger mark shows lines Of the
"loop," or the "whorl' type, and by
simple table of the combinations of
these types in the ten digits 1904 main
classes are made. These are again sub
divided according to minor details, and
the subdivisions can be further divided
ad intinitum if necessary, but with the
table before him any person Of ordinary
intelligence can place his finger ON the
corresponding card to a record In his
hand within five minutes, no matter
how many thousand cards there may be. |
1t is calculated that the chances are
about Ga, 600, 600 to against any two
persons having single fingers identical,
and the chances against all ten fingers
being identical go beyond mathematics

OANNIBALISM IN ALASKA,


Circle City, via San Francisco, June 90
"A story of possible cannibnlism and
death on the Yukon trail has just reach
ed here. Three men who left Dahl river
on Dee. for .Iimtown were not heard of
again. and they were supposed to have
been lost. Nothing was heard of them
here till the steamer Kdeout brought a
terrible tale Of suffering and horror
The men were Michael DAILY, Victor
Ediar and NJ. Provost. They were from
Providence, Woonsocket, X. l., and
Brockton, Mass, respectively. Their
bodies were discovered II miles from the
mouth of Old Mans creek, they having
lost the trail and become bewildered
Having left Dahl river with onl. three
weeks food but which was amply sutfi-
cient for the $50 miles to Jimtown, they
were soon reduced to starvation.
Days body was found partly eaten
on the stove in the tent just as it was left
when death overlook the others. Some
scraps of moose hide and moccasin were
found, Of which they We're endeavoring
to make II stew. Daly's body was identi-
fled by the clothes. The other men were
found dead five miles away from the
tent. The fact of the tent flaps being
shut down when found would seem to
preclude the possibility of Days body
having been eaten by animals The other
men doubtless were driven by hunger to
the awful extremity of cannbalsm. Four
hundred dollars were found on the bodies

that in many towns and cities. of the
United States the young people and 9TH
ers interested might form classes for the
study of Spanish with a teacher from the
island during the summer. AS the gov
eminent will provide transportation for
such teachers between San Juan and New
York, the expense of such class would
be confined to the railway fare to and
from New York and the support of the
teacher during such time as the classes
are held. Wherever responsible parties
will guarantee this transportation and
board. competent teacher of Spanish
will be sent by the bureau of education
at San Juan. .-n
OF the many schemes of education de-
vised for those in our new possessions.
and those who may go there this seems to
be one of the most practicable and salts
factory. If carried out, it will accom-
plish the double object of Americanizing
the teachers of Porto Rico and extending
in this country a knowledge of the lam
guage and customs and social and bust
ness habits of the people of the island.
With the opportunities which will come
for young Americans in Porto Rico, 1t Is
to be expected that many Americans will
go there to live. and to succeed in bust
ness there a knowledge of the language
and customs Of the people is Indispensable.
On the other hand, if the Porto Ricans of
the future are to become valuable Ameri-
can citizens, it Is necessary that they shall
grow up with an understanding of Ameri-
can ideas. The plan proposed by the de-
partment of public instruction seems to
be step toward accomplishing some
thing in this direction.
