Also an Inventor.

IN ye0terooy'0 Sentinel was puDLon0o
an article concerning the expert marks
msnship of n. G. Ramsey, taken from
the Salt Lake Tribune. Today 10 given
an item Of interest regarding an inven-
ton by that Same gentleman, which ID
taken from the Salt Lake Herald. Be-
low 10 the article:
Expert rife shooters all over the coun-
try will be able to increase their scores
to a marked degree unless the plane Of
M. @. Ramsey, the champion rife shot,
fail. Mr.. Ramsey has invented now
contrivaDce to be used in target shooting
that has all the appearances Of accomp-
fishing what he claims for it. Did one
ever stop to think what action the bsat-
ing Of the heart has over a person while
taking q steady aim with the rifle? Ex-
ports have noticed it for years and many
have claimed that IL this humping
could be overcome greater scores would
then be mad. possible.
The best shots In tho world rest their
left arm against their body right over
their heart while taking aim. The
heavy beat, scarcely noticeable under
ordinary circumstances, is strong enough
to slightly move the muzzls OF the gun.
This causes the bullet to penetrate the
target several inches from tho spot the
marksman intended it should.
Mr.. Ramsey has noticed this for some
time and has at last hit upon plan to
obviate the difficulty. His invention
consists Of q pneumatic pillow strapped
to the body whore the arm rests. With
this pillow the arm will rest on an air
cushion which takes up that humping
motion given out by any we'll regulated
heart.
Mr.. Ramsey is now making a cushion
OF this kind and will give it tho first trial
in a few days. He has explained his
idea to several marksmen and they are
all confident that it will accomplish the
purpose.

GERS annexed Suwarrow, Ysabel and Choy-
isel islands for Great Britain. At Malieta
island villages of the natives were shelled
to punish the islanders for having killed

braced Christianity. With a view to i'm
pressing the natives with the seriousness
of the crime committed by them. and OF
warning them against a recurrence of such
acts. the Sparrow visited five places in
the Island of Malieta, namely Auki, Sio.
Uras, kwai and Port Diamond, and at
each place the villages were shelled and
partially destroyed.

Michigan line. although lighter, was skill

Coach Yost. of Michigan, said after the
game: Western champions; that sounds
well, doesn't it? The game was entirely
satisfactory. Michigan outplayed Mime
sofa at every stage of the battle. Every
one of our men had the better of the OPP
pOnents Minnesota relied solely on weight.
Her men fell into the plays. and they were
so slow that we were able to get under
and stop them. Rogers, the game Indian
end. to my mind, played the hardest game
against us, and also the cleanest Mime
sofas play was vicious, but she could not
win by il. On both offensive and defensive
we had the advantage even on the sort of
field that must favor Minnesota. Our FUN
bling was due TO the cold weather. 1T
probably cost us one touchdown. Mime
sofas score was made on legitimate foot
ball. but was really due to a fiuke. Finn
got down quickly on Knowltons punt, and
snatched the ball just as it touched little
Weeks's fingers. On straight line work
Minnesota was hopelessly beaten"
Dr. Williams, MinnsSota'S coach, said:
Michigan played splendidly and won the
game on merits. The Minnesota boys all

out of the game in good condition. Van
Valkenburg, who went out early in the
second half, was completely played to eX-

longer. Michigans speed and variety of
plays are worthy of comment. Tonight

COLUMBUS, Ind, Nov. 27.-The Column
bus High School has been forced to with
draw from the State Oratorical Associa-
ton by order of Superintendent I.
+. Fitzgibbon, backed by the Board
of School Trustees. The trustees and
superintendent declared some days ago
that the local association should with
draw from the State Association because
they were adverse to the Columbus High
School students coming in contact with
such -owdies as made UP the Indianapolis
Shortridge delegation here on May last"
A committee of students, with Samuel
Wertz, principal of the high school, at its
head, had a conference with Superintend-
ent FitzgiDbon and the trustees on Wednes-
day evening. and the result was the with
drawal of the locals from the State Asso-
citation for the reason quoted.
The conduct of some of the visitors from
Shortridge to the State oratorical contest
here last May is regarded by local resi-
dents as most reprehensible 1t is stated
enthusiastically that some of the young
sters from that institution came to CO.
lumbus on that occasion to have a good
time after their own notion; that they
brought a supply of liquid refreshments
and after the contest and during the rest
OF the night fairly wrecked the ST. Denis
Hotel, which was headquarters. They
broke up the furniture and threw it and
the chamber sets from the third-story win
dows into the street. Several of the boys
were required to pay damages TO Landlord
futile the next morning.
a plan to make an effort to induce Madi-
son TO assist in throwing ShOrtridge out
of the association was considered mad
visable by the local authorities, so Column
bus will not be represented in the next
State oratorical contest.
