Tacoma Residents Correct Error of

Tacoma, Wash, May 25.-some feel
ing was caused here yesterday by the
fact that the captain of the transport
Rosecrans hauled down the American
flag and ran UP the British flag in honor
of Queen Victoria's birthday. instead Of
flying the two flags together with the
stars and stripes on top as the regula-
tions for such an observance provide.
a committee OF residents wen; on
board the transport and in compliance
with its request the flags were properly
displayed.

speakers manuscript from his hand and
destroyed IT.
Before the faculty could counsel mod
Grafton the turmoil was beyond control,
and in an instant twenty five students
were piled up in a heap on the stage,
punching and struggling in frantic ef-
forts to get at foe or protect friend.
Editor Willis had his clothes almost
torn from him and many of the combat
ants were much battered before order
was restored.
The dispersal of this gathering did not
end the trouble, however. Within short
time the offended students came upon
Editor Burger in the street. They
fastened rope about his neck and led
him about for some time, yelling and
jeering continually. Some cried Hang
.him."
AT this juncture the party came upon
Willis and the two scribes were taken
to the Wabash river, where they were
given an unmerciful ducking.
The disturbance is being given serious
consideration by the faculty and some of
those most active in the affair are likely
to be punished.

Cleveland Leader.
 A river of ink Is formed in Algeria by the union of two streams. the water of enc being impregnated with iron and the ether, which drains great swamp, with gallic acid. This combination of iron and acid forms a pure ink. All rivers of Africa have seferal remarkable peculi arities. They seek the ocean that Is course is always broken by falls, and their mouths are stopped by numerous sand banks.
 In Siberia rivers flow over ice, old and solid as rock A tributary of the Lena River has underneath the soil which forms the bed of the river bed of pure ice over nine feet thick. A freak of nature is the lost river in Kentucky. It is known as the Hidden River, be cause no one knows its origin, and it vanishes into cave leading no one pie, and is of a pale bluish color. Speak ing of color, the Chinese believe that the Yellow River has always been of | its present hue, except one day about great man was born and the river was perfectly clear.

 With an east wind blowing. the water in the well gets very low and the mys- terious musical sound Is faint. strong west wind causes the water to rise ana the sound to increase in volume and clearness. Before a north wind the well plays it's widest pranks-T The water rises nearly to the top of the well, which is about sixty feet deep and gives out wild weird noises.
 A man-made volcano exists in Bel gium, which has been. burning for nearly 100 years and emits vast columns Of black smoke, rendering the neighboring country barren, baked and utterly iun- profitable. At Brule, France, Is even a more remarkable volcano made by man. | Originally it was a mass of coal, millions | of tons, probably. well elevated above l the surrounding country. Dense forests 1 covered it. The peasants took out the | coal for their own use as they wanted | it. and each for his own profit. One of l the favoritc ways for keeping rivals at l distance was to throw pieces of old | leather on a burning brazier. causing an intolerable odor. One day about cen | tury ago the fire extended to the coal and it has never ceased burning The
 summit of the smouldering mass has a 1 genuine crater.
 A mountain which walks is another cu-
 riosity in France. During forty-eight
