Received Diplomas.

Ten pupils in the public schools
of Kootenai County were made
happy this week by the arrival of
their diplomas. certifying that they
had passed a 81 tisfactory examina-
ton in the common school studies,
and which diploma anables them
to enter any high school in the
state.
Examinations were held in all
the schools of the state at the close
of the last school year, and while
the examinations were not compul-
sorry, many availed themselves of
the opportunity to earn the diplo-
ma, and ten in Kootenai County
succeeded.
1t is significant that of the ten
who receive diplomas, six belong to
the Kootenai Valleys to the
Bonners Ferry school of which
Miss Kate Miller (now Mrs. J. H.
Williams of Kalispell) was the
principal, and 3 to the Leonia
school, of which Miss Nora Weimer
was tescher. 1t speaks very highly
for the work of the two teachers
named
The Bonnors Ferry pupils were;
Lizzie Mclaughlin, Nellie Otley
and Anna Meyer.
At Leonia: Winnie ellison, Hattie
ellison, and Flossie McElroy.
The examinations included work
as far advance as the eighth grade
according to the state course %
study, but some of tho above named
pupils were at the time in the ninth
grade, and are now studying in the
tenth.

whisky JIM, Siwash, was up
before Judge O'Callaghan during
the week. On the testimony of
Indian Policeman David and other
good Indians, whisky Jim" had
been guilty of being drunk and
disorderly.
Whisky Jim is an old offender.
He has been in Jail number of
times, and has many dark add
bloody deeds laid at his door. He
is hard character and no mistake,
and when filled full of fire water,
which is quite frequently, he is
terror in the Indian camp.
Last Wednesday he took on
first class jag and proceeded to
make trouble. The Indian police,
of whom tt ere are IL, undertook to
arrest him with the intention of
administering the usual punish
ment, which consist of tieing the
offender up and giving him good
flogging. Now, it appears that
Whisky Jim had been flogged twice
before, which he considered twice
too often, and he emphatically
demurred to the proceeding. He
armed himself with a huge knife
and proceed to run the whole tribe
out o. the country. After enjoying
this sport for a time, his squaw
finally prevailed upon him to
give up the knife, after which his
capture was effected He was
securely tied-up with ropes and
marched to town By Chief-of-
Indian-Police David and other
Indian Policemen
Judge O'Callaghan considered
, the trouble and concluded to bind
, the offender over to keep the peace
The bond was fixed at $500, which
of course had but che mening for
Whisky Jim. He accompanied De

Black Rain.

The first case of black rain which
comes under review occurred at Gra-
jamestown and the surrounding dis
trict in August, 1883, and it extended
over an area Of no less than 3G0 square
miles, says Chambers Journal. Since
then there have happened several
showers Of a similar description, but
less pronounced in their sable charae-
ter Other showers OF black rain have
been recorded in ireland. one OF which
was felt over an area of 400 square
miles.
No one seems to have micrOscopicaIly
examined the water which fell at Gra-
hamstown, but it was noted that the
liquid gradually cleared when placed
In a suitable vessel, and a black pre-
cipitate fell from il. In the latter cases
referred to the deposit has been care
fully examined and was found TO con-
sist of microscopic organisms, which
averaged about the twelve thousand
FIVE hundredth part of an inch in
length. and which were identified with
the same fungoid organisms that are
responsible for blight in the plants
which they infest and subsequently
for smut, mildew and rust in wheat
and barley.
The writer sums up his remarks
thus: Humidity is known to ontrib-
ute largely to the copious production
Df fungi, and during protracted drought
the regions affected thereby will re-
main comparatively bare Of fungi, but
during the seasons Of frequent rain
falls the production of q fungoid yege-

GREEDY MAcKEREL.
A Gorgine Feast and the Way IL

I once enjoyed the privilege Of seeing
an army of mackerel successfully cor
ner a shoal OF small fry in n rocky
shallow poo. which was a cul de sac.

tins in serried ranks. company Of
hungry, determined creatures. intent
upon a gorging feast to which there
need be DO limit They had followed
The fry for miles maybe, merely swal-
lowing one here and one there TO keep
their appetites whetIed. Now they had
cornered them where there was no es-
cape for their victims. No alert fisher
man on the lookout for just such an
opportunity was at hand to convert
their triumph and feasting into captivi-
ty and lamentation. They might feast
at viii
And, ye gods. feast they did. No
one who has not seen il would believe
that the cubic capacity Of mackerel
could possibly deal successfully with
the number of small fish be actually
swallows. The way he conducts the
operation of feasting is unique. Open
ing his mouth wide. the mackeral darts
in among the small fry. some Of which
are perhaps one-third Of hss own
length. In an instant one Of these is
TO be seen sticking half in and half out
OF his mouth Then the mackerel gives
one guIp. and the victim has disappear
ed. Without 4 moments delay the
process is repeated and repeated so
many times that the spectator cannot
fail to be concerned for the immediate
future Of the particular maekerel be
has watched. Yet nothing happens.
As for the fry. their helpless anguish
is somewhat heartrending. The whole
shoal of them boils and ehurns the wa
ter in an agony Of fear. High into the
air they leap in order to avoid their
voracious enemies, landing themselves
often enough upon the weed covered
rocks which skirt the pool and painting
their lives out there rather than leap
back into the seething mass Of their
harassed companions beneath.-Long-

Amos Cummings passed two weeks
on a pilot boat and took Ernest Jar

day a great storm arose. and the pilot
boat was tossed about on the waves
like a chip. Every minute a wave
would dash over the deck and threaten
to carry everything away and swamp
the boat Cummings and JarrOld were
in the little cabin. the former lying
in a bunk inteutly reading a book on
the French revolution. Jarrold pOked
his head out to look at tie storm,
when a mountain of sea water fell
with boom on the deck and filed his
eyes with spray. The boat gave a
fearful lurch and careened until il
seemed that she must turn completely
over.
''Thls is awful. Amos" said Jarrold-

"Oh. keep quiet. and let me read.
