The tallest man living is said
to be Lewis Wilkins, who is now
arousing3 great interest in the
scientific circles of Europe. He
was born on farm near St. Paul
in Minnesota, in 1874. When he
was 10 years old he measured 6
feet in height, and now has
grown to the tremendous height
of 1O74 inches-just three-quar-
ters of an inch less than nine
feet and weighs 364 pounds.
A Colfax. Washington, man
has invented a machine drill
which it is claimed will strike
216 blows with the four-pound
hammers per minute. The mach
inc is operated by one man who
simply turns a crank which re-
wolves wheel to which is at
tached four 4-pound hammers,
each striking the drill with ter
rife force and is calculated to do
the work of eight men. The
machine weighs 125 pounds.
Senator Macbeth recently in
troduced joint resolution to
secure vote on changing the
constitution providing that the
election of supreme, district and
probate judges shall take place
at a time other than that of a
general election. MIR. Macbeth's
idea is to take the judiciary of
the state ont of politics. We do
think this would in any way take
the judiciary out of politics, for
it is impossible to elect any state,
county or precinct officer with
out politics entering into the
fight more or less. even down to
the constable or justice of the
peace. But the great objection
that we have to this proposed
constitutional amendment is the
expense that would be incurred
in these extra elections.
II. B. No. 148, substitute for
Mr.. Powell'S fish and game bill.
is farce and worse than the law
now in operation. While it al
lows a person to fish at any time
of the year with hook and line.
it provides that any resident of
the state over Is years of age
must take out license, also to
kill game that is not prohibited
in the open season. The said
licenses to cost S1.00 each. For
non-residents the license to fish
or hunt is fixed at $4,000. You
are not allowed to sell fish or
game, nor to kill only two elk,
three antelope and four deer in
any year. 1t prohibits the kill
ing of swan. You not allowed
to keep any trout under 4 inches
in length. These licenses can
not be transferred.
