Countess Marguerite Cassini, daugh-
ter of the Russian ambassador, has
sent TO the Russian Red Cross head
quarters in st. Petersburg $1S,700,
practically all of the proceeds of the
Russian Red Cross fair held in Wash
ingtOn on April &c. This is larger
sum than has been realized at any
similar event held in Washington for
many years. The money will be used
not only for the Russian wounded on
the field of battle, but for the Japanese
who fall within Russian lines.

A TIMELY WARNING.

While a British brig was gliding
smoothly along before a good breeze
in the South Pacific, three months ago,
a flock of small birds about the size,
shape and color of paroquets settled
down in the rigging and passed an
hour or more resting. The second
mate was so anxious to find out the
species to which the visiting strangers
belonged that he tried to entrap
specimen but the birds were too shy
to be thus caught, and too spry to be
seized by the quick hands of the
sailors. At the end of about an hour
the birds took the briggs course, ana
disappeared. but towards nightfall
they came back and passed the night
in the maintop. The next morning
the birds flew off again, and when
they returned at noon the sailors
scattered some food about the decks.
BY this time the birds had become
so tame that they hoped about the
decks picking up the crumbs. That
afternoon an astonishing thing hap,
pened. The flock came flying swiftly
toward the brig. Every bird seemed
to be piping as if pursued by some
little invisible enemy on wings, and
they at once huddled down behind the
deck-house. The superstitious sailors
at once called the captain of the brig,
who rubbed his eyes and looked at the
barometer. A glance showed that
something was wrong with the eIe.
ments, and the brig was put in shape
10 outride a storm. The storm came
about twenty minutes after the birds
had reached the vessel. For a few
minutes the sky was like the water.
less bottom of lake-a vast arch OF
yellowish midland torrents of rain
fell. Why it did not blow very hard,
no one knows; but on reaching port,
two days later, the captain learned
that a great tornado had swept across
that part of the sea. The birds left
the vessel on the morning after the
storm and were not seen again.

Cousso in Abyssinla.

The cousso is a member of the rose
family, of which the scientific name is
Hagenia abyssenica, or Crayera an
thelmisthica. This is a splendid tree,
the blossoms of which appear in
superb punches and in great number.
They contain the active principle
called koumine, a taeniafuge of great
value, the properties of which are ap-
preciated in the country. The leaves
of the cousso are not less beautiful
than its flowers. The wood is rose
colored and would be valuable to
cabinetmakers. The tree grows rapid,
w and is hardy.

THE DOCTOR WRITES OF TIE
"BoSTiAN wOADo PETITION
Says Advocates Of the Road are Seek
ing to Make n ''Scapegoat'' of the
County Surveyor and That the
Petition Recites Only Facts,

The Patterson-Bostian road con
troversy seems to be something like
Banquo's ghost in that it twill not
down" The ISLANDERS publication
of the petition as matter of news
called forth replies from CommiS
sioner Bostian and Mr., Patterson,
and now comes DR. Fitz-Mathcw wit,
a letter IN witch he resents, in biz
usual vigorous and pointed Englisl
Mr.. Patterson's reference to the, pc
tition as a ''garbled statement Tie
doctor says:
Editor ISLANDER: In the interests
the taxpayers on this island | drew mp
the petition termed "garbled" by M.
Patterson. THE term 'Bostian" was sup
p led to me by County Surveyor Vaughn,
whom they arc trying to make 'scapc-
goat" The facts as to the advantages of
the proposed road ITO the people general
ly," as set forth i'm that petition, al
| recognized by all persons whose privdt1
interests have not warped their sense
justice, aud it is signed by many Of til
taxpayers here. Mr.. Pattcrson's Nespiat-
ic ii plea" that the proposed road would
be for ''the public good generally" cam
not be su stained by any evidence he can
produce, as it is well known that it would
be used by few persons excepting the few
ia miles living there. 1 am not there
fore surprised that he thought of AL
anias" when framing his "plea," but il is
a pity for his own sake he mentioned it.
Had it been proposed, in the first i'll
stance, to use only moderate portion Of
the road fund in commencing the pro-
posed Patterson road this season, few
would have objected, provided the ronta
selected did not call for an eXtraya~ant
outlay for its completion.
Now the Patterson Bostian road would

he also has to open those five gates and
pass through his own property to get OFT
into one of the county roads. The OPEN
ing and shutting of these gates is trying
to the temper, as | should know, hayin-
once done it on twenty successive days
and used language Mr.. Patterson would
not approve Of ''on principle" PerSo''-
ally, should like every man to have q
good road free from gates right up to his

own Expense, but we need good many
things on this island we are not prepared
to pay for, and when it is proposed t.
construct a road through private pror
erty. principally for the convenience of
few persons, it becomes a question Of
"equity" how far the people should be
called on to 'foet the bilP' and whether

MONTHLY MEETING
OF SCHOOL BOARD
PRIMARY AND INTERMEDIATE
TEACHERS ELECTED
a Fourth Teacher May Be Employed
and Year Added to High school
Course--District in Excellent FL
nancial Condition.

AT the regular monthly meeting of
the school board Tuesday evening
applications for positions as teachers
in the primary and intermediate
departments we're considered and
acted upon and the question of the
addition of another year to the high
school course and the employment of
fourth teacher discussed Miss Ida
Grace Sharp, sister of Rev. VIM. J.
Sharp, was elected as intermediate
teacher, and Miss Christine Clausen,
of Lake Park, Mimi, was chosen for
the primary department. Miss Sharp
is graduate from the normal course
of an eastern school, has had two and
a half years experience as teacher
and will graduate this month from
the classical course of Whitworth

and faculty She is most highly recon-
mended. Miss Clausen is a graduate
of the Moorehad, Mimi, State Nor
NAL school, has had several years ex-
perience in teaching and is now
teaching her third successive year
at Lake Park. She prefers primary
work and has studied with special
reference to fitting herself for it.
The directors decided to take steps
Immediately to enlist the co-opera-
ton of adjoining districts in the or
ganization of Union High School
district. They hope to add another
year to the high school course and
employ a fourth teacher, who will
serve as an assistant to the princi-
pal and hear classes in recitation
room. With this end in view the at
tendance of ninth and tenth grade
pupils from any part of the county
is invited and all nonresident stu
dents who would like to attend the
classes in either of these grades are
invited to communicate with the
ncipal, priMr. Joubert, or OF the dis
trict clerk, Mr.. Culver, in order that
the matter of enlarging the scope of
the school work in the manner. indi-
Gated may be determined as soon as
possible.
The district is in most excellent
condition financially. 1t doesn't owe
a cent and has a considerable amount
of cash in the treasury. The total
expenditures Of the past year were
50, 1923, of which $1,575 was paid
for teachers salaries and the re-
mainder for repairs to the building,
ianitor service, fuel, desks, black
boards, stove, curtains, books and
miscellaneous supplies.

'ments for the work of the summer

An Insane Stranger

Henry lowell justice of the peace

the arrest Of stranger who arrived
there Sunday and is considered dang
erously insane. He came in Il small
canoe and went to work the next day
for Hansen and Peters clearing land
on the school section leased by Ernest
Davis. He says his name is Cashelle,
the name of q French-C Canadian, SEN
fenced to be hung March II last at
Calgary, for murder. On the 18th
Cashelle escaped from Jail, but it is
said that press dispatches subse-
quently reported his capture and ex-
ecution. The man, who is of power
ful physique Sleeps with an axe close
at hand by his bunk and seems to be
fearful of capture by officers. He
told Hansen and Peters that fifteen

thought possible that he has escaped
from some asylum. Sheriff McCrary
was absent on Orcas island serving
road notices and as he did not return
until yesterday afternoon Deputy
Sheriff Carter went over TO serve
the warrant and bring the unfortu-
nate man here for hearing before
