SPAIN. Nfigratory sheep.

There are about 100000 migratory
sheep in Spain, which each year travel
as mGeh as 200 miles from the plains to
the mountains. They are known ais
transhumantes, and their march, rest
Ing places and behavior are governed
by special regulations, dating from the
fourteenth century. At certain times
no n may travel the same route as
the sheep, which Have the right to
Craze or all open and common land on
the way. For this purpose a road nine
y yards wide must be left on all in
closed and private property. The shep-
herds lead their iocks, which follow
after and around. The focks are ac-
companied by provision mules and by
large dogs to guard against wolves
The merino sheep travel 400 miles to
the mountains, and the total time spent
on the migration there and back is
fourteen weeks.

Bribery In Elections.

Bribery in elections is an ancient If
notan honorable custom. Thisis shown
in the case of Shrewsbury, England.
An extract from Parry's "Parliaments
and Councils of England of a Ease Of
bribery, with its punishment, in 1871
shows how long the pernicious custom
has been in practice: Thomas Long. "a

questioned how he came to be elected.
He confesses that he gave the mayor
Of Westbury and another "a for his
place. They r ordered to repay this
sum, and a fine of EGO is to be assessed

Several firms Of fruit scalpers, who

to remove ali fruit from the package,

afterwards artistically arranging about
two layers of fruit on the top of the

AS a result, of the close corporation
methods employed by the 1905 Gopher
board in electing new officers to the
board, the matter will probably be
taken in hand by. the 1906 class and a
new set of officers elected. Louis
Northrop, managing editor Of the
board, did not return to college this
fall and instead of waiting for the
class to elect his successor, the re-
mainder Of the board took matters
into their own hands and not only
revised the list Of editors but elected
a, new member to. the board. .s.:t.. !
a large majority of the class is OPP
posed to the action of the board and
has signified it's intention to bring the
matter up before the class at the an
nual meeting on Friday. At that time
new officers will be elected and in all
probability the action Of the board
will be annulled. " :
