School Board Fails TO Re-elect the
Principal of High School.

A subject much discussed in local
circles yesterday was the failure of the
school board to re-elect Professor II.
]. Hockenberry principal Of the high
school. The professor has served this
school district about fifteen years and
has always been highly esteemed by
majority Of his pupils. Many are at u
loss to understand the boards action.
There has been a great upheaval in
school affairs recently and the retire
ment of Superintendent Forbes and the
professor has been the outcome.
Professor Hockenberry is a man of
opinions and he wouldn't stifle an opin-
ion for the best job in Christendom.
This characteristic is Indirectly respon-
sible for his failure 10 he reelected, as
it has frequently led him to antagonize
the board.
The vote on the motion to re-elect the
principal was as follows: Messrs.
Moon, Nannan and Hughes, yea; Ker-
win, Dimock and Boylan, nay. Being
a tie the motion was lost and the place
declared vacant. There were no other
applicants, but there will hf forty by
next meeting night as the salary has
been 81 500 per annum. There is a
strong probability however, that it will
now be reduced to $1,000 The liking Of
salaries will occur in August. The fol-
lowing persons were elected teachers
for the coming school year:

birthplace of the Potato.

Peru is the birthplace of the potato,
which was used as an article of food
by the Inchs and exported to Europe
by the Spanlards when they took over
Quinine bark and named 1t In honor
of the Countess of Chincon, whose
husband at that time was viceroy
The Indians had used the bark for
medicinal purposes as long as any one
could remember, but this noble lady
was the first European to test its efii-
cacy, and 1t proved SO excellent a cure
for the malaria which saturntes the at
mosphere of Lima that she Induced
the Jesuit fathers to recommend 1t to
the medicos of the old world. These
wise old chaps sent it to Spain and
Italy, and 1t is said that one of the
first doses of quinine that was ever
administered in Europe was swallowed
by the Pope.

POINTERS ON MOSQUITOES,
Male Is Musician. but Female Is
Bloodthirsty.

Male Is Musician. but Female Is
Bloodthirsty.
When man hears for the first time
that it is the female mosquito that
does all the biting it makes him feel
right glad. Further comfort is afforded
by the knowledge that the male mos
quito has probably the keenest musical
sensibilities Of any of his class Of in
sects. He has quite brush Of hairs
on his antennae, and with them he
hears. Mayer stuck one Of his kind
on glass plate and sounded tuning
forks about. When one tone was made
certain hairs would vibrate, while all
the others were still. Another tone
would start another set to vibrating,
and SO on. Also, II the tuning fork
were at one side of the mosquito, the
hairs on that antennae trembled most
Violently, so that when the male hears
or, rather, feels-the voice Of his be
loved in one antennae, he wheels about
so that vibration is equal in both and
hies straight ahead to meet her. That
is about all there is to the male mos
quito, though, except that he cannot
bite, for the sufficient reason that he
hdb no apparatus WITH WHICH " sd"
through the skin. So to speak, he has
the pumps. but no drill. But the fe
male is thoroughly equipped for get
ting through even politicians hide
The only mystery is what possesses
her to want to bite at all. How did
she come by her hankering for blood
The scientists give it up. If she laiC
her eggs in the wound, like the carrioI
fly, 1t would be easy to answer tn
question, but she doesn't. If she stun
to defend herself, like the wasp,
would be easy. 1t must be her brutl
passion for blood that prompts her
attack helpless human beings. Sh
cannot get this craving by inheritanot
for the chances are that none of h
ancestors as far back as William IN.
