Heavy Firing is Reported at
Cronstadt and Conflict is
Believed to Be On.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 20.-It is
understood that the government desists
in its determination to dissolve the
douma on account of the attitude of
the soldiers on guard at the czar's
palace. 1t is said the soldiers have
declared their unwillingness to fight
against their own people in the event
of disorders arising from the dissolu-
ton of parliament.
Agrarian disorders are concentrated
in the rural districts Officials deny
there is unrest among the troops.

lated We're evidently false; at least. OBJ
servations on my recent trip would
lead me to believe that they rested on
no foundation at all.
AT Pendleton. after interviewing
several of the leading business men, l
was subjected to my greatest surprise.
Not one of them had any complaints to
make. To a man. they reported busi-
ness good in Pendleton with every
prospect of it being much better in the
near future. AS one of them said:
Our city subscribed in one or two days
S5 900 for the San Francisco relief
fund. Our latest exploit in the rails
ing of money has been for a Fourth of
Judy celebration. In about two days a
committee secured something like $4,000
right off the reel. A place the size of
Pendleton that can do these things is
not in such bad way"
In the other places visited it was
Mr. Kaser's observation that the peo-
pie were looking after their own rights
and letting nothing escape them that
would increase the growth or improve
their respective cities In local mu-
nicipal affairs factionalism was not ap-
proved of by the majority; rather 10y
atty and unanimity of action were the
things that received the highest IA
vor
Said Mr.. Kaser:
I'm glad l took the trip if for no
other reason than that it has more
than convinced me that the towns
surrounding our city are not going
backward by any means, but are fully
alive to their opportunities and max
ing substantial progress. I'm also con-
vinced that we in Walla Walla cannot
stand still, but must continue to make
improvements wherever we can If we
you'd keep up with the procession and
the progress that is being made by our
sister cities"

Why February has twenty-eight days
is explained in the legends Of the past.
One is Of m old woman, who, tending
her flock, ridiculed the month of Feb
rlary because he had dealt so lenient-
ly with her and her sheep. Then Febru-
airy felt insulted and made leap year
and borrowed a cold day from March
and froze her and her flock. There Is a
Norman legend which makes it out
that February had originally as many
days as the other months, but Februa-
ry was a confirmed gambler and lost
at domino a day both to January and
to March. Strange to say, there is an
old story of Egypt, wherein the god of
February plays forfeits with the moon
and loses certain days.

BARBER SURGEONS.
When the Razor and the Scalpel
Were Linked In One Trade.

Were Linked In One Trade.
More than 100 years old is the Royal
College of Surgeons, Edinburgh. At
the time it was founded the surgeons
and BARRIERS of the city were united
as one of the fourteen Incorporated
trades of Edinburgh. On July /, 1905,
they received their charter from the
town council. The charter of the bar
Der surgeons was confirmed by James
", an early Stuart king of great en-
llghtenment and accomplishment, who
the surgeons on account of the needs
of his army in time of war.
In the charter leave was given to the
Incorporation to control the medical
education of the city, such as it was
in those days; of bloodletting, to have
the sole right of practice and to put
down quacks. They were to get every
year the body of a criminal who had
been executed to practice anatomy on,
and they promised in return to do "suf-
frage for his soul" OF the first 159
members of the incorporation six were
surgeons to the kings of Scotland.
AS society improved and medical sci
ence developed the gulf between the
MrgeOns and BARRIERS widencd, and in
NJ, as the result of a process in the
curt OF session, the connection was
finally terminated. The deacon, or
president, OF the incorporation of sur.
geons was for more than $40 years a
member of the town council of Edin-
burgh, OK Oficio, and several of the
deacons were members of the Scottish
parliament.
