The first sidewalk in New York was
laid by woman, Mrs. Samuel Pro
voost. about 1716. She was an import
er and merchant and laid the sidewalk
for the convenience of her customers.
She had importuned the authorities to
do it, but they refused. saying 1t was
impossible. After her object lesson
paving and curbing gradually came in,
but for some time her sidewalk was so
famous that people journeyed even
from Philadelphia to see it.

Boise today. and this afternoon deliv-
cred an address on the subject "a
Social Phase OF the Irrigation Move

The social questions of our time are
multifarious and complex, but they
find their source in the same initial
causes which have troubled the race
In all its history. and in the compre-
hensiye irrigation propaganda of the

supreme goal of the ages is yet un-

AN EGYPTIAN MUMMY.
1t Poses as Modern Oracle In the

II Poses as Modern Oracle In thu
British Museum.
Can an Egyptian mummy render
first class service as an oracle? Car
the spirit of the dead return and
answer yes or no to the questions
of the faithful: Some people in
London believe these things are pos
sible. and they have the mummy
wight in the British museum to
prove it. \ writer in the London
Mail tells all about it: ''This
strange sibyl is the mummy of
Katebet, a priestess in the temple
Amen-Ra at Thebes. 1t lies on the
top shelf of case p in the first
Egyptian room. 1t is one of the
most complete and interesting speci-
mems. The painted cartoonage head,
with its gilded face, is inclined to
one side, giving look of life. On
the breast is hawk headed orna-
ment containing a scarab, the sacred
beetle. On the wooden models of
the hands are rings made of carne-
liam and precious stones, and an at
tempt had been made to initiate
bracelets by painting. The system
of swathing is unusual.
'In wall case No. 10 stands Kate
bets painted wooden coffin. 1t
again is singular. On the foot the
feet and sandals of the deceased are
painted in an unusual manner, and
the face is evidently intended for a
likeness. The Lady Katebet died
in Thebcs 2,,00 years ago. The
measures taken to preserve her body
in its full beauty We're evidently
carried ort with more than custom
ary care and fidelity. Is it possible
in this later world of miracles in
mechanical law that miracle of
natural law is manifested here
that Katebet's spirit is in touch
with her body?
"The peculiarities of the num-
my make it easier to believe, but
the way in which answers to qucs-
tions are given affords a common
sense mechanical explanation. The
process gone through by the various
devotees at this queer shrine is as
follows: They approach the case
with reverence and lay hand upon
it. Looking earnestly in the golden
face of the priestess, they put a
question that permits plain al
frmatiye or negative reply. If the
priestess moves the answer is ~ es. ,
If she makes no sign it is No.
They assert that she does nod some.
times and that the advice she gives
"The explanation is severely mod
ern. First, in the winter there is
a dynamo of great power pounding
away below to supply electric light
and heat. Second, the movement
of people in the room would be sqf
ficient to cause a vibration which
would move the case in which the
mummy lies. The museum is ex-
ceptionally well built and therefore
elastic, answering and giving easily
throughout through yibratory mo-
tions wherever generated. If the
official opinion were given this is
undoubtedly what it would be-"
