E. Hester Guie and his brood of
caucus bolters, in King county, may
after all be resurrected and again be-
come flies in the political ointment
Of the state. Some of their friends
have undoubtedly read the story
published by the New Orleans
Times-Democrat and are already in
The Seattle Republican., 1900-05-04

anticipation, puckering their lips to
blow the resurrection trumpet over
the political graves of King county.
The story, as printed in New Or
leans, is that a couple Of late work
ers had just dispatched sma' hour
supper in a restaurant when a preda-
tory fly which had been swooping
hungrily about the table, brought up
i'll finger bowl. 'Now watch me" )"
said one of the pair, "and I'll per
form an interesting experiment. To
begin with, am going to drown that
fly" '|Oh, don't kill himY touched
by the same spirit Of mercy that ami
mated Uncle Toby; "take him out
and let him co. ''I'm only going to
kill him temporarily" replied the
first speaker, and picking up silver
Of match, he proceeded to force the
unfortunate fly under water and hold
him there despite his frantic squirm-
ing. Presently the struggles of the
insect became feebler, and at last
the delicate legs ceased to futter and
were drawn convulsively against the
body. To all appearances the fly
was stone dead.
The experimenter lifted him out
of the bowl and deposited him care
fully upon the tablecloth. He turn
ed him over and over with the silver
Of wood, but there were no signs of
life. "Now comes the resuscitation,"
he said, and poured a heaping tea
spoonful of salt over the inert insect,
burying him from sight. '1t will
take some little time," he continued,
possibly ten minutes, but I feel GER
tain enough of the result to wager
the price Of our supper that the fly
comes to life. 'Tll go you," said the
other; ''that fly is as dead as Caesar"
Both pulled out their watches, and
eight minutes had ticked away when
there was a slight stir in the salt
heap and out walked the fly, as good
as ever. He preened himself briskly,
shook his wings and scared off into
space. Il can't explain it, 2 said the
man who tried the experiment, "but
I've never known the thing to fail.
1t would have made no difference if
| had submerged the fly half an
hour; he would have come around
just the same when buried in the
salt"
Ii this procedure is effective in the
case Of an apparently dead fly, why
may it not be effective in the case Of
an inanimate caucus bolter? The
thought is a fearful one. It is to be
hoped no one will be mean enough
to shake the political salt cellar over
the city of Seattle.-Tacoma News.

No other church in the United
States has had such rapid growth as
the Methodist Episcopal. One hun
dred years ago the membership was
64,894. 1t is now 1871 ,949. In the
years since the last meeting Of the
Quadrennial Conference there has
been an increase of 1O5, ,293 members
and an increase of 557 ministers.
But last year there was reported a
decrease in membership of $4,000.
And this fact-that in the compil-
the loss Of one member to church
was recorded seems to have thrown
some Methodists into a panic.
