Members Of Congress and Mourning.
'Fifty years ago members of con-
gress and Of the senate would have
been compelled by public opinion to
wear Grape on their arms for thirty
days after the death Of q president. :"
remarked an ex-member who had serv-
ed before the civil war.
up to about 1850 whenever a men,
Der Of congress died the resolution Of
sympathy with his family invariably
carried with it provision that men,
bers should wear mourning. Deaths Of
members were of course less frequent,
for the congressional body was nu-
merically smaller. Indeed, the increase
of the membership, which led natural
ly to higher death rate. was the d.
rect cause Of abolishing the custom.
"a number of members Of congress
now die every year, and it was not
thought advisable to keep members Of
the house and senate in practically per-
petual mourning"

THE FISHER MARTtN.

Concctted, Cunning and Intelligent
and Without Fear.
The fisher marten deserves to be
much better known than he generally
Is, If only on account of his own good
opinion of himself, his wonderful cum
ming and shrewd intelligence.
One Of the largest and handsomest
Of the martens, he has also agility,
strength and endurance for any two
Of his kind put together. Measuring
about three feet in length, with slim.
vigorous body, the fisher will travel
enormous distances in a single night,
bounding lightly up into the air, with
his nose turned up in order to catch
every Whit Of scent, outwitting other
animals and the cleverest trappers and
making himself at home wherever he
happens to find himself.
He generally chooses as his hunting
grounds the thickly covered hills and
ridges where the hemlock and spruce
grow in abundance, but he is as much
at home on the tree tops as on the
ground and can sleep as soundly in a
low hollow of tree as on branch Of
fir tree, where he will lie stretched
out in the sunshine like any old cat.
AS for fear, he does not know what
it is. He will not only face but ac-
tually kill Canadian porcupine and
does not even appear to mind the
Quills which penetrate his body. He
is not particularly fond Of meeting an
old bear with cubs, but is generally
clever enough to steal her cubs While
she goes off on some little expedition
Of her own, while instances have been
related of the fishers in the Rocky
mountains even killing young grizzlies.
AS for man, he appears to laugh at
him and his designs for trapping wild
animals. He will pull a marten trap
open and take out the bait, whether
alive or dead; he will tear pine mar
ten or mink to pieces in no time and
carry it off or drag the trap over some
rough projection in order to spring 1t
and make off more often than not
without having received as much as a
scratch.
But perhaps his cleverest trick. when
he finds trapper is following his
trail, is to get behind the trapper and
follow his, so that while the uncon-
scious trapper is walking after the
fisher the fisher is keeping completely
out Of danger by following the trap
per. Many a useless mile has. the
trapper walked in this manner, and
many good bats has he lost by the
very same shrewd, cunning animal he
is irving to trace and CATCHY Colliers

The Zodincnl Light.

The name of 'zodiacal light" has
been given to singular appearance
frequently witnessed soon after sunset
or Just before sunrise. 1t may be seen
at all seasons Of the year in low lati-
tudes and is obviously due to ulum1-
mated matter surrounding the sun in
very fat or lentcular form, nearly CO.
inciding with the plane Of the ecliptic,
or, rather, with the suns equator. The
attention Of astronomers was first d.
rected to It in the year 1888 by Casstni
and was long regarded as being the
SUMS atmosphere. This idea. it is now
thought, is incorrect, 1t being generally
believed at the present time to consist
Of an immense assemblage Of rocks,
sand, cosmical dust, fragments Of met
al, ETC.. such as the earth is continual
" encountering In the form Of .aerolttes
or meteoEites. It may not be out OF
place to mention In this connection that
the rings Of Saturn are believed b b
composed Of similar materials.

The Corvallis times. (Corvallis, Or.) 1888-1909, 1903-11-07

San Francisco Examiner: The
American flag, which for thirteen
years foated above four palmy isles
in the South Seas, known as the
st. David Group, was recently
hauled down and the emblem of
Holland hoisted in its place. The
Dutch colonial government sent q
gunboat 10 the islands to enforce
their demand that the flag of the
United States should come down.
The story Of the affair reached this
country for the first time on Octo-
Der %, the news being brought by
the German trading schooner Di-
ana, which arrived from the Caro-
line islands. Captain James Zach
ary formerly master of Millionaire
Fithian's yacht Rover, was a pas
senger on the Diana, and to him
the natives on the St. David's Isl
ands told the story of the insult to
the American flag.
The st. David Islands are four
in snum ber and lie near the equator,
close to New Guinea. The isles are
small. but exceeding fertile, and
yield an abundance of copra. Thir.
teen years ago David O'Keefe, an
American known as the "Copra
King Of the Caroline Islands,
came there and hoisted the Ameri.
can flag. This fact has remained
unknown until now. Captain
Zachary tells the following story:
''In trading among the Caroline
Islands visited the islands of st.
David, and there learned Of the u
surpation of them by the Dutch.
O'Keefe who was trader we'll
known in this city and who recent
ly perished at sea, secured the right
to the isla nds from the native
kings and placed the isles under
the American flag. He married
native woman. Some time ago a
Dutch gunboat visited this group
and ordered the natives to haul
down the flag. Olsen refused to
obey the command and a number
of marines were landed from the
Warship, the flag was hauled down
and the flag Of The Netherlands
hoisted in it's stead
