It is becoming evident to students
Of birds that they are Influenced al
most solely in their migratory habits
by the harvest of weed seeds, and not
by the climate. Formerly it was sup
posed that the birds started southwark
as soon as the chill of autumn ap-
preached, but cold, frosty weather
might come in August, and the birds
would not begin to migrate. They are
not weather prophets at all, but simply
hungry little creatures in search Of
ripening seeds

dated with the official stamp, thus pre-
venting the manufacture Of false rec

curious story of long anti-Catholic OPP
position to the placing of statue OF
Roman Catholic priest in the capi-
toll. The fact that, in sympathy with
such opposition, a great number OF
people demanded it's removal has thus
far prevented it's formal acceptance by
the nation. So pronounced was the op-
position that for long time two CAPT.
toll policemen were stationed as guards

SOLDIERS IN THE CITY,
Guardsmen and Regulars From Ma
nassas Throng Streets.

Since the close of the military maneuvers
at Manassas the business streets Of Wash
ington have been thronged by hundreds OF
national guardsmen and some regulars,
who, being in the vicinity of the capital,
took occasion to come here to see the
sights. The great majority Of these soldiers
are from the southern states and repre-
sent the types of volunteers from the
southland, who may be expected to serve
under the stars and stripes in any future
war in which this country may engage.
There were stalwart, sun-browned boys
from Texas; active, slender fellows from
the Carolinas, who according to history
make ideal light infantrymen and cavalry
troopers; boys from Georgia and Florida,
typical southerners, and forming valuable
military object lesson.
AS to the behavior of these soldiers on
the streets of Washington, veteran po-
liceman, who is stationed On the Avenue
said to a Star reporter today:
They are the best behaved soldiers 1
have ever come in contact with. In ask
ing for information they are as polite as
French dancing masters and their general
