WALES "BOOLA" A WAR SONG
Macedonians Adopt 1t for Tune to
Lead Them to Battle.

The tune of Yale's "Boola" song has
been adopted as the air for the ma
tional song Of freedom prepared by
Constantine d. Stephanove, Yale, '99,
for Macedonia, which has become the
war song of the Macedonians, says o
New Haven dispatch to the New York
Journal.
The song has Travelled a good deal
since it was first heard on the Yale field
as one of the football Odes. Pop Hirsh,
the old Yale catcher first offered it to
a Yale audience a few years ago. Only
Hawaiians recognized in it any sem
blance to the national hymn Of their
country. Then it took flight to the
Macedonian mountains, where it has
become battle cry, sounding, so
Stephanove says, like the old rebel
veil of the south. 1t has Travelled to
Japan Also it is said, and may be
heard in battle when the clash comes
with Russia.

BATTLE WITH AN OCTOPUS.
Hawaiian Sailor Victor in Thrill
ing Contest.

A daring fight between q man and
m octopus occurred off Punaluu,
island of Hawaii few days ago, says
the Honolulu correspondent of the
New York Herald. Waha, a native
sailor on the steamer Mauna Loa, was
the victor of the fight. He displayed
an unusual amount Of recklessness, for
he attacked the creature without any
knife or implement
The purser of the vessel saw the oc-
topus swimming near one of the small
boats from the steamer and called at
tention to the peculiar looking fish.
Waha, who wore only a pair Of trou-
sers, saw that the thing was an enor-
nous squid or octopus. Without word
he sprang overheard to attack the
creature. The sailor grabbed hold or
two Of the tentacles near the beak or
the monster, and then ensued the most
remarkable battle probably ever Wit
messed by any white man in that part
Of Hawaii.
The most vulnerable part of an octo-
pus is it's eyes, and it was ut these
spots that Waha made his onslaught.
He fought with his teeth and hands.
The instant that the octopus felt the
mans grip it dashed madly round and
then dived below the surface Of the
water. Fortunately the water WAS
only I'D to Waha's shoulders, and the
man succeeded in getting a foothold
on the bottom and thus keeping his
head above the water. The arms or
the octopus were seen wrapped around
the body of Waha, but the man chung
on. He realized that he was engaged
in q life struggle, for If he relaxed his
hold the creature would drag him
under the water and drown him.
The octopus emitted Il blackish fluid
that colored the water in the vicinity
Of the struggling pair, but the native
struggled on He kept biting savagely
Mt the eyes of the octopus. Once he
got the right eye firmly gripped, but a
sudden dive under water choked him
into letting go his hold.
The fight lasted fully fifteen minutes.
First one eye of the octopus was torn
away by the sailor and finally the
other With the loss of the second
eye the octopus gave up the fight. The
creature measured fifteen feet across;
its tentacles were as large as a mans
wrist Waha was badly bruised and
his arms and body layed.
