CHAMPIONS IN ARCHERY.
Famous Medieval Sport Revived in
Seattle.


Pedestrians passing by the corner
OF send avenue and Day street, stop to
gaze at two men who with bows and
arrows, are to be seen coutesting in the
merry sport OF Robin Hood, says the
Seattle News. To the people of this
day the charm OF archery is thing of
the past and the general public is
hardly aware that there is q national
association composed of few follow
ers of the old-time sport, to whom
the twang of the springing bow and
string, and the whiz OF the loosened
shaft, has the same music and the
same charm as 1t had for their ances-
tors In the days of yore. These sports
men have annual meetings. at which
the championship medal. won at the
first meeting in 1870 by Will H.
Thompson of this city, is awarded.
The two archers who have been
drawing crowds watching their work
are Will H. Thompson, already men,
toned, who has held the championship
of the United States several times and
who defeated the famous English ar
chers the only time that the Ameri-
cans ever met the men from across
the sea, and Albert Rankin Clark, who
held the championship four years ago,
previous to his departure for the Far
East, whence he has just returned.
Mr.. Thompson is to be seen at his
range every sunny day, but few of
those who stop and admire his shoot
ing realize that he is the many-times
victorious archer. Since the arrival of
Mr.. Clarke, however, those who have
clustered about to watch the shooting
realize that battle royal is in prog
ress, in spite of the fact that they do
not know that the two men before
them are the men who had such a
close contest four years ago when the
| Seattle man won the medal from
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-04-29

Clark, the champion of the previous
year.
Mr.. Clark is a brilliant archer, who
has studied the use of the bow in the
Orient as well as in the United States,
and although at present he is a trifle
out of practice, he is very capable of
holding his own with the best shots
in the country. This he has been
demonstrating in his contest with Mr..
Thompson who made brilliant record
at st. Louis last summer. but lost the
championship by one arrow, to Phil
Bryant of Boston. Mr.. Clark brought
a rare assortment of Eastern bows
and arrows\ from the Orient, which
are beautiful in appearance, but do
not seem to be as accurate as the
American and English makes.

Tenacity to Life of a Grnss-snake.

How long can snake fast? Mr..
Windsor of Barnet, England, had in
his possession a grass-snake, which
lived for nearly eight months without
food. The last time the snake
fed was June II, 1904, the meal con-
slsting of a small frog. From that
time to the date of its death, Febru-
ary 2. 1t took no food, although con-
stantly offered it. During this time
1t appeared in good health and was
at times most animated. No ap-
proach to Information was observed,
and only for a little more than a
week before its death did the snake
seem out of health. The body was
not unduly thin.

Electric Bleaching of Flour.

A new electric process of produc-
ing an extremely white flour has re-
Gently been adopted in Paris. Speci-
mems of the flour before and after
the treatment have been examined by
NJ. Balland, who finds that although
the whiteness is undoubtedly increas-
ed, yet the flavor and odor are not
so good as before. This is shown by
the analysis to be due to a partial de-
composition of the wheat-oil. to which
flour owes its aroma, and the flour
increases greatly in acidity through
this decomposition. In fact, the pro-
cess is essentially an artificial aging
accompanied by the usual whitening
that occurs in old flour.
