The portion of the jetty swept away was
about 800 feet in length and located a
short distance from the outer end of the
breakwater. 1t was part of the new work
having been put in last summer. The
damaged portion was not fully completed.
When the damage occurred a severe gale
was prevailing outside, and at the end of
the jetty the gale howled along at the
rate of fully 80 miles an hour, driving up
immense breakers from the southwest.

MANY CANNIBALS RENAL

There are many places in the world
today where cannibalism f1ourishes.
Scattered about the Pacific Ocean are
many cannibal islands where the ma
tives eat human flesh because they like
it for food. In others cannibalism as
tpracticed as sort of religious rite.
The natives of New Guinea are con-
firmed cannibals, and not long ago they
killed and ate the members of an ex-
ploring party led by the we'll known
missionary and explorer, DR.. Chalmers.
DR.. Chalmers was one of the founders
of Port Moresby, the principal town in
the British part of the island, and had
done more in the way of exploring New
Guinea than any other man. On his
last expedition up the Fly River, the
largest in New Guinea, he was at first
received with all the old-time respect
which the natives were wont to show
him, but one night they killed the whole
party and ate their bodies, including
that of their friend, the doctor.
Seven Spanish sailors who were
wrecked near the mouth of the Muri
River, in West Africa, We're captured |
and eaten by the natives recently.
Today there are cannibal tribes liv- |
ing in many parts of South America. |
Such tribes inhabit that region of will |
derness belonging to Colombia known |
as the Cacaqueta, and the brother of |
Gen. Rafael Reyes, the special envoy
Of Colombia to this country in the Pan
anna matter, was killed and eaten by |
some of them while attempting to cross {
10 the head waters of the Amazon.
Some of the tribes of northern Luzon
are suspected of being addicted to can
1ibalism. Grewsome tales of cannibal-
site practices are told of the voodoo |
xorshippers of the interior of Hayti. |

TRICKS OF A
HINDOO JUGGLER

when in India I made the acquaint-
ance of a juggler, who tried to instruct
me in all his tricks He said that it
was imaginary on the part of the spec
tators, as he simply willed that they
should see those things. Yet 1, in COM
mon with Western nations, was too
animaIized, sensual and materialized by
flesh eating and consumption of aIco-
hol to retain or accept any deep spirit
uaI teaching.
THE most exciting performance that
he gave for my amusement was the
converting of "a bamboo stick into a ma
tive servant, who waited at table and
supplied our wants. Afterward-in his
ABSENCE tried it, and to my surprise
the same man was before me asking
for instructions. 1 directed him to fill
the chatte1s in the veranda with water
from the well in the compound. This
he proceeded to do. When he had filled
them all to overlooking 1 requested him
to stop. He, however, took no notice
of me, and went on stolidly, bringing il.
the water until in my excited magma
ton, it seemed that ltheA bungalow

a slash at him and apps Sensiy cut him

could 1 restrain from doing so.
Il was completely out of my depth,
when 1 heard a quiet laugh behind me,
and, on turning, found it was my in
structor, who held UP his right hand
and the two men disappeared, the stick
resuming its place on the veranda; and,
to crown all, there was not the slightest
sign of any water having been brought
in. 1 excitedly appealed to him for an
explanation. He said he had been pres
ent all the time, having willed that he
should be invisible to me, and that
should imagine myself to see and do
what 1 thought had taken place. In
order to prove it he asked me step into
the compound, and directed my atten-
ton to a large cavern, which 1 knew
was not there before. As l entered
number of huge elephants and camels
issued from it in a continuous stream,
yet 1 could not touch one of them.
They apparently passed over me as
though I did not exist. He again raised
his hand and the cavern and animals
disappeared. "-Johannesburg Star.

all the latters assistants into prison. a
dentist who was touring the hermit king
dom heard of the trouble and gave re-
lief to the royal sufferer and was pait

Then the imprisoned kitchen force was
set at liberty, but the chief cook was

The last boxing tournament of the
season takes place tomorrow evening
at the Orpheum after which the can
vas of the ring will be carefully folded
away for future occasion while the
stage will be converted to its normal
uses when the Worlds Entertainers,
to be followed by the Fischer COM
pany will usher in a round of theatre
cal entertainment.
The seats are selling merrily for the
boxing which has become a very popu-
lar local pastime with the presentation
of a series of really good bouts between
equally matched men.
This final program promises to be as
good as its forerunners. The unde-
feated Barry is pitted for a fifteen
round contest against Patton of Brook
Ign, a man considerably heavier than
Dave and who is said to be as clever
as he is strong having held the cham
pionship of Brooklyn. a city renowned
for its boxers. Patton is claimed by
those who follow the game, to be the
hardest proposition Barry has SO far
taken ON.
Jackson and Mcdonald who mixed
matters in lively fashion to draw two
weeks ago will furnish a preliminary
which has been set this time for six
rounds at the request of both the COM
batants who are anxious to secure a
decision. This bout is being looked
forward to as sure to be a rapid fire
affair with hot exchanges.
