GRADUATES OF
S. A. c. STRIKE
Montana College Men Refuse to
Take Diplomas Because One
Was Denied.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Bozeman, Mont, June "a strike
occurred last night among the grad
yates Of the State Agricultural col
lege when the exercises were about to
begin. OF ten graduates nine refused
to take their diplomas, Herbert Reese
being the only one to graduate.
The trouble arose over the refusal
Of the faculty to grant diplomas to
one of the class-Jerome Locke. Up
to the time the exercises were about
to commence it was supposed Locke
would be given his sheepskin; in fact,
there had been nothing to indicate
that a diploma would be denied. AT
the last moment it was said there had
been some irregularity in his examina-
ton, and 1t had been decided to deny
him his diploma.
The word was quickly passed around
among other members Of the class
Locke, who Is popular, was declared
by his fellow class1nen to have beer
fair in all Of his examinations, and
they decided to stay with him.
IF he does not get his sheepskir
we don't get ours" was the cry.
1t is said, however, that all received
their sheepskins after the exercises
but the faculty is reticent about the
matter.

TWILL BE A HARD TASK
What the Taking of Port Arthur WIN
Mean.

Toxic, June 3.-From all available
information gather that the Russians
had 10000 troops in the battle of Kin
chau. These, together with 10000
sailors and marines, and outlying
guards at Dalny and elsewhere, who
now have been withdrawn, bring the
total garrison at Port Arthur to more
than $4,000 men.
This is a most formidable array, and
1t will be a marvellous achievement to
carry by assault such a place, with
over q score Of great landward forts,
disposed for distance of fifteen miles
from the harbor.
Still, I doubt not the accomplish
ment Of this unique feat. It will be
that mortal wound to Russia, which
even successful stands by General
bin cannot stanch or heal.
The Japanese operations between
K1n-chau and Port Arthur are
screened with the customary secrecy.
It is assumed from unofficial reports
of the stream Of troops the Japanese
are still sending out, that General Oku
will have an overwhelming force SO
as to enable him to act independently
Of General Kuroki, who also is be-
lieved to be receiving a considerable
proportion Of achievements. General
Kurokis operations are considered to
be completely hidden.

THE CUTE GUINEA PIG

Chicago, June BY experimenting
for a year with a guinea pig and writ
ing g. thesis Of 5000 words on her
studies, Miss Bessie Allen, coed at
the University of Chicago, has passed
the cross-examinauon by the faculty
of the department Of neurology and
next week will receive her degree Of
doctor of philosophy, Her thesis on
| THE Psychology OF the Guinea Pig"
was her final test.
The result of Miss Aliens expert
ment Is that shS has classed the
guinea pig among the animals of the
modulated nervous system. Her ex-
pertinent, are anpt her proef that ani II
nervous systems are born with their
mental faculties well developed.
Their memory is perfect almost from
birth.
Her tests of the pig were novel In
her words, she ''gave the pig prob
| lens to solve"
She took pig day old and placed
its mother in wire cage which had
| but one small aperture in it. The
young pig was placed on the outside
and allowed to seek it's mother. After
some searching it succeeded.
\ When days old it could work its
cages to it's mother and after it had
succeeded in working thru one series
of blinds it would have no difficulty
in repeating the trick. This proved
i says Miss Allen, that Its memory was
mature.
| Miss Allen explains that the human
being is in the rat class, that thu
nervous system is not modulated unit
about the age Of 80, after which time
learning and memory are not so sus
ceptible as while the mental powers
are developing with the sheath forma
