What a Tarantula Looks Like.

The Mygale tarantula sometimes
spreads over six inches square, but
more frequently four or five inches.
A shaggy coat Of hair covers the
surface of the great spider. It is
supplied with SIX long, bony legs
and two dangerous pedipalps, OF
strikers, each armed with a sharp
sting and poison sac. The strikers
are frequently mistaken for two
long legs, and from this arises the
idea that the creature has stings on
its feet. Two powerful projections
resembling jaws protrqde from the
head. Under each Of these is a
curved poison fang similar to a cats
claw, but longer, exactly like those
Of a rattlesnake, which may be lift
ed. extended and hooked into the
victim. 4 A person thus strng OF
bitten must cut the tarantula away
at once, for the spider does not seem
willing to unlock its fangs.

the surveyor general of New Zea-

feast: s-asasss
"The guests numbered hundreds,
and when the sweetened paste was
to be served no dish could be found
large enough. Accordingly large

article seven of the constitution of the
state CT Minnesota.
Sec. s. Women may vote for school
officers and members of library boards,
and shall be eligible to hold any office
pertaining to the management of

Any woman of the age of twenty
one years and upwards and possessing
the qualifications requisite to a male
voter, may vote at any election held

ELIGIBILITY OF WOMEN AS TO
SCHOOL OFFICES.

The question has been asked "Can
women vote at the primaries Sept. 16
for county superintendent of schools1"
Why not2 Ii women can vote for
school officers at an election they GER
tainly can vote in the primaries for
whichever candidate they may see fit
on the same conditions that men vote.
If they are Republicans, or declare
their Intention of becoming such, they
can vote In the Republican primaries
if they are Democrats they must stay
out of the Republican primaries and
vote in the Democratic primaries.
The primary law is simply new plan
for the nomination of party candi-
dates and is not an election. There
fore, every woman in the country who
is properly qualified to vote for school
officers can go into the primaries of
her party and vote for such officers the
same as the men.
For information, country auditor
asked the attorney generals office this
question:
"Does the primary election law for
bid candidate defeated at the pri-
maries from running as an indepen-
dent candidate at the regular election
seven weeks later2"
The legal department of the state
has decided that it does. Section 90
says:
"No names of candidates, when
name was upon the primary election
ballot under this act, shall be placed
upon the official ballot unless such
candidates have been chosen in &C.
cordance with the act.
After a strenuous tussle with this
language, assistant Attorney General
G.. W. Somerby has ruled, in his
opinion to the auditor, that it means
to bar candidates who are defeated at
the primaries from appealing to the
whole people later. Mr.. Somerby did
not go into the constitutional questions
raised.
It is contended bv the twin city at
torneys that if this is the purpose of
this section. it is unconstitutional,
violating section 2 of the state consti.
tuition, which provides that "no mem
Der of the state shall be disfranchisei
or deprived of any of the rights or
privileges secured to any citizen there
of"
It's the right and privilege of any
voter to run for Office, these lawyers
say, and the primary election law can
not abridge it.

PIANO PLAYING RECORD.

A Milan correspondent tells of a
doughty pianist named Bancia who at
Venice recently set himself to break the
record OF piano playing so far as time
is concerned. Apparently what the mu-
sician had to surpass was forty
hours sitting at the instrument This
he undertook to do handsomely by
hammering the keys for fifty consecu-
tive hours. that appalling period being
only broken by three short rests of ten
minutes each. Incredible as 1t seems.
this feat was duly accomplished in the
presence of a committee of doctors and
musicians.
