The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1904-04-29

Tuesday was an eventful day with
Owosso Odd Fellows. 1t was the eighty
fifth birthday Of the order and the mem
bers of Owosso Lodge No. sS celebrated
the occasion in a fitting manner with
speeches and addresses in the armory in
the afternoon.
The assemblage of members and
guests was called to order shortly after
half past two and an address of welcome
was given by Mayor S. E. Parkill. In
his genial and hospitable way the mayor
assured the guests of their welcome to
Owosso and made all feel at home at
once. Mr.. H. H. Pulver of Laingsburg,
responded to the address in an entertain
ing and instructive manner. He took
his hearers back with him to the days
of 1864 when the Owosso Odd Fellows
instructed him in the mysteries of Odd
Fellowship. Of the members who as
sisted at his initiation but four now sur
vive. But to all, the present members
and those now gone who were members
u,
Mr.. Pulver paid loving tribute. The
welcome to the Rebekahs was given in
amost pleasing way by, Mrs. T. M. Wiley.
Mrs. Emma Knapp, of Howell. read a
very carefully prepared paper going in
to the history of the two orders in Mich
igan and dwelling for the greater part
on the good work they had done and are
now doing in the state.
The principal speaker of the afternoon
was Rev. G. w. Jennings, of Pontiac.
Mr.. Jennings proved an interesting
speaker. He too spent some time on the
history of the order as was quite appro-
pirate on its birthday, and gave an in
teresting exposition of three rocks upon
which the principles of the order are
founded, Friendship, Love, and Truth.
He also told of the newly purchased site
for an Odd Fellows home which the
lodges of the state had bought in Jack
son, and said that one of the most
pleasing features of this purchase was
the spirit in which the citizens of Jack
son welcomed the order into it's midst.
The entire afternoons program was a
pleasant one for all those who attended
to look back upon. The celebration of
the day ended with pleasant party at
the Armory in the evening, although
the attendance at the latter was not as
good as the afternoon meeting had call
ed out.

Fish Fed by Hand.
Century.

Experiments made in a large aqua
rum have proved that fish may be
easily tanned and trained. This is par
dcularly true of blue perch. They
soon consent to taking their food
ulva, green, lettuce-like weed-from
the hand, and do not at all OBJECT to
being handled. A huge kelp cod, a
splendid specimen of rich blue and
green hueS, that was kept in the
same tank with the perch, readily
learned to feed from the hand, and
seemed to enjoy being scratched and
rubbed. Sticklebacks, perch, bass and
catfish are among the most easily
tanned fish, and the story is told of an
old fisherman who day after day fed a
large fshhorse mackerel in the open
sea with pieces of the fish he Cleaned.
1t gradually got into the habit of com
ing nearer to where the boat was teth-
cred until, finally convinced that it
would not be harmed, it consented to
take its daily meal directly from the
fiSherman'S hand.

The Needles and the Pole.

There are two places on the earth
surface where the magnetic needle
must point due south They are not
easy places to reach. One is in the
arctic regions north of the northern
magnetic pole, on the line between
that pole and the geographical north
pole. The other is in the Antarctic
regions, south of the southern mag
netic pole, on the line between that
spot and the geographical south pole
In the first case the point of the
needle is attracted to the northern
magnetic pole. In the second case the
other end of the needle is attracted to
the southern magnetic pole.

Origin of Palm Monopoly.

There is a curious custom in con.
nectfon with the palm branches at
Bordighera, Italy. The right of ex.
plotting the sale of these at Rome
was originally given in 1886 to a
sailor of Bordighera named Bresca,
for a suggestion made during the rails
ing of the Egyptian obelisk in the
square of ST. Peter. Owing to the
difficulty of the work, Pope Sixtus v.
had forbidden the onlookers to dis
tract the engineers by single word !;
but Bresca, seeing the cords stretch
ing unduly and disaster impending,
shouted out, wet the ropes!" and
saved the situation. His life was for
feited for speaking, but the pope par
doned him for his ingenuity and gave
him the monopoly of the palm trade
in Rome at Easter. His descendants
still annually present the pope with a
richly decorated palm branch.

vic diseases have no idea that their
trouble is due to catarrh. The majority
of the people think that catarrh is a
disease confined to the head alone.
This is not true. Catarrh is liable to
attack any organ of the body; throat,
bronchial tubes, lungs, stomach, kid
neys and especially the pelvic organs.
Many a woman has made this discov-
cry after.a long siege of useless treat
ment- She has made the discovery that
her disease is catarrh, and that Peruna
can be relied upon to cure catarrh
wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving
a full statement of your case, and he
will be pleased to give you his valuable
advice gratis.

all have to learn-oftentimes through

never be happy unless we cease trying
