Acute Vision of Birds.

Birds have very acute vision-per-
haps the most acute of any creature
and the sense is almost more widely
ditused over the retina than is the case
with man; consequently bird can see
objects sideways as we'll as in front of
it. A bird sees-showing great uneasi-
ness in consequence hawk long be-
fore it is visible to man. So, too, fowls
and pigeons find minute scraps of food,
distinguishing them from what appear
to us exactly similar pieces Of earth
or gravel. Young chickens are also
able to find their own food, knowing
it's position and how distant it is as
soon as they are Matched, whereas
child only very gradually learns either
to see or to understand the distance of
an object Several birds-apparently
the young of all those that nest on the
ground-can see quite well directly
they come out of the she'll, but the
young of birds that nest in trees or on
rocks are born blind and have to be
fed.-Chambers' Journal.

Legs and OratOry.

In the Souvenirs de Nine. Recam1er'
there is pleasant description OF
scene which took place during her exile
at Lyons in 1918. Almost every cult
waited or fashionable individual who
passed through that city was sure to be
attracted to her house. Talma. the
tragedian, happened to be giving some
REPRESENTATIONS in the Grand theater
and was dining with Nine. Recamier
when the bishop of Troyes, better
known as the able of BoulOgne, was
announced. This celebrated preacher.
though devoted to literature and famil-
lar with the works Of the great play
wrights, had never seen u play per-
formed.
After dinner Talma was persuaded
to recite, to the intense qualification OF
the able, parts from his principal roles
In return Talma begged the ecclesias-
tic to repeat some passages of his SER
mons. When he had done so, 1T is
splendid, monseigneur, as far as this"
exclaimed Talma, touching the chest of
the preacher "but the lower part of
your body is deplorable! Clearly you

your legs"

President For a Day.

David r. Atchison of Missouri had
the unique honor Of being president of
the United States for one day, and that
was Sunday, March 4, 1S49. The term
of James X. Polk expired on the morn
ing OF that day. but, as it was Sunday,
the president elect, General Zachary
Taylor, was not inaugurated until next
day, March s. In consequence the pres
ident pro tenn. of the United States
senate, D. r. Atchison, was the acting
president on March 4, 1S49. However,
he had presided at a night session OF
the senate, which lasted until away
after midnight of Saturday, and he
slept nearly all day Sunday, without
realizing the fact that he was presi-
dent of the United States.

DIETRICH GOES FREE

ate When the Alleged
Rribe Occurred.

Omaha, Neb., Jan 9.-United States
Senator Dietrich has been released
from custody. Judge Van Devanter
instructed the jury to bring in a YER
dict of not guilty, and the district at
tOrney entered a nolle in the other
cases against Dietrich. Jacob Fisher,
postmaster at Hastings, was also CIV
en- his liberty, nolle having been en-
tered in each OF the indictments
against him.
When the United States district
court convened Judge Van Devanter
handed down decision sustaining the
demurrer interposed by counsel for
United States Senator Dietrich. The
demurrer was made to the Introduction
of evidence on the ground that Diet
rich was not actually member of the
senate when the alleged bride took
place.
The effect of the decision is that a
man is not an actual member of con-
gress from the time of his election un-
til he shall have taken the oath at the
bar of the house to which he Is elected,
and that he is not amenable to the law,

BOATS ENGULFED BY THE SEA
Attempts to Save the Women and Children
Are All Futile.

Every woman and child aboard the
Clallam persisted. Within three miles
of shore, and at time when it ap-
peared certain the Clallam had been
saved a desperate effort was made
to save the women and children in the
life-boats. They were placed in the
first boat to leave the ship, which Cap

teered to command, and which was
manned by deck-hands. The frail
craft went down within sight of the
Clallam, and a second life-boat filled
with male passengers and in command
of Second Officer Curren was probably
lost a few minutes later.
Aboard the Clallam the watchers
saw waves sweep passengers from
their hold on the seats and hurl them
into the waters. Though the life-boat
was righted later, still afioat, dill
gent search has failed to find trace of
her. More passengers and members
of the crew were lost when a third
life-boat was swamped in an attempt
to launch it. Three passengers were
picked up by the steamer Bahata who
had fastened life preservers about
their bodies. They had died from ex-
posture, and their bodies were brought
to Seattle.

STRAWBERRIES GALORE

The busy berry season has cQn-
menced. Wagon load after wagon
lead of ttarries we're brought into town
yesterday and the help in the express
Offices worked long into the night in
order to make the shipment. Nearly
1000 cases were SHIPPED by the two
express companies yesterday.
Although the rrices are not as high
as they usually are when the market
opens, they are very satisfactory and
it is generally believed that as soon as
the representative of the different
commission houses are on the field
the price will begin to raise. The
price at present ranges from 80 cents
to S1,00.
The greatest difficulties that the
growers are contendlng with now is
the lack of pickers. Nearly every
grower is advertising for more pickers
and many are coming here from out
of town. The warm weather is very
favorable for the ripening of the fruit
and it is expected that today's ship
ment will increase nearly three
fourths if not double that Of yester-
day. The buyers expect to ship three
cars of strawberries this afternoon.
