OF a popularity Of the stock dow
Mr. Selous writes: when these birds
fight they constantly interrupt the
dow of the combat by bowling in the
most absurd way, not to one another
but generally, so to speak, for no object
Or purpose whatever, apparently. but
only because they must do 50. The
fact is, the bow has become formula
Of courtship and as counting and fight
ing are. intimately connected the one
suggests the other in the mind Of the
bird, who bows, all at once, under .
misconception."
Certain birds get their names from
st. Peter. According to writer: 1.-THE
petrol I'm German 'Petersvogel,' Pc
ter's bird), a bird that skins the
waves, is named after the apostle who
walked upon the waves of Galilee. But
the parrots is a less simple case. In
Spain and in Portugal, as in France,
the word corresponding to parrot al
most certainly represents little Peter
"A familiar name playfully applied
because Peter was so common q Chris
t1an name. Similarly house sparrow
La nicknamed 'pierrot' in France"
An Englishman, Edmond Selous, hes
been watching doves at play aud in
combat. OF the habit of billing" in
which so many birds engage when
they are nesting, he says: "Whers
birds now merely BILL they once, In
my opinion, fed each other-or the
male fed the female-but pleasure
came to be experienced in the contact
alone and the passage Of food, which
was never necessary, gradually be-
came obsolete. think it by no means
improbable that our own kissing may
have originated in much the same
way; and that birds, when thus BILL
ing experience the same sort OF
pleasure that we do when we kiss
must be quite obvious to any one whe
haa watched them"

BARE BRAIN FOR A cLoT
Delicate Operation Is Performed on .


Applying to surgery the axiom that
while there is life there is hope,
surgeons in Washington Heights hos
pital, New York City, placed Wiener
Koch, aged 80, on the operating table.
But there was so little left in Koch
that the surgeons felt that work was
well nigh futile.
Koch entered his home a week ago,
sought his bed without ar0using any
Of the family and was found uncon-
sciOus by his mother on the morning
of June 20. Efforts to arouse him were
unsuccessful. Examination disclosed
no wounds on Koch's body, and there
were no symptoms of drug or alcoholic
poisoning. Day by day he grew weak
er. He was taken to hospital, where
a slight depression in the skull was
discovered and an operation per-
formed. Removing a small area of
the skull blood clot was found. AS
more of the skull was cut away, the
clOt was seen to be extended, and it
was soon found to cover a six-inch sur
face Of the brain. 1t was speedily and
simply removed, and doctors were
still at work when Koch opened his
eyes, drew in deep breath and sat
bolt upright upon the table. Quickly
but feebly he told of receiving a blow
on the head.
Two hours after Koch had come to
life on the operating table detectives
brought to the station two men who
admitted being with Koch. They were
arrested on his description. Koch is
in fair way of recovering.

Ringing Bros. Tent Went Down-Two
Killed.


Killed.
Two persons were killed and
several injured at Aurora, ILL.,, when
an enormous tent at Ringing Bro
Tiers circus was blown down during

of their keepers. The dead are:

Cress died from heart failure, due
to the shock. Three women are
among those severely injured.
There were 5000 spectators in the
tents at the time of the accident
When the crash came the performing
elephants had just begun their act
The first gust of wind gave but an in
stant's warning, and the next moment
the center pole supporting the canvas
roof snapped near the top. The au
dience was composed largely Of
women and children. They were I'm
able to lift the heavy canvas. Egress
was slow at the regular exits, and il
was in the crush at these points that
many were injured. Rescue work by
the police and fire departmentS was
under way within 20 minutes.
The storm, which approached the
proportion of tornado, damaged
many buildings in Aurora and vicinity

sPokANE's LEADING rHEATERs.
"Parson Jim" at Columbia Theater

"Parson Jim" at Columbia Theater.
An interesting story of the honest
seafaring folk of the New England
coast is "Parson Jim," which will be
the offering/of the Byron Douglas com
pany at the Columbia theater for the
week beginning Sunday evening. The
four acts of the play are laid in the
fishing hamlets of the Massachusetts
coast, and pure salt tang pervades
the entire piece.
The chief interest of the play cen
Parson Jim of the play. Fairchild is
a parson in nickname Only-the SO
briquet having been bestowed on him
in his younger days, when he was
noted for his repeated escapades. In
later life, after course on the sea
under his father, he settled down az
staid member of society and en-
gagged in boat building, but he was
never able to shake off the appellatiOn
given him in his youth.
At the time of the opening of the
play, Parson Jim is a prosperous boat
builder, who has thrown his past be-
hind him. He falls in love with his
foster sister, Edna Fairchild, and the
story of his love forms one of the
most interesting stories of the play.
The girl falls in love with gay young
New Yorker, with nothing to recon-
mend himself but his good looks, and
who starts in to break the girls heart.
Parson Jim, however, saves her from
final disgrace and unhappiness.
Next week the company will pre-
sent the dramatization by Wilkie Col
Inns of his own famous story "A New
Magdalen."
Miss Ruth St. Denis, whose mystic
Hindu dances recently created sen
sation in New York, arrived in Lon
don a few days ago and will shortly
appear at one of the West End thea

..,oes-President Given Nearly
,.r.v Millions to Build Canal.

srct session of the 59th con-
..s ended Saturday. 1t has been a
.,onuous session from start to finish.
n,o measure which caused the great
:, debate is the railroad rate bill,
GOV with the session, its considera-
ION continuing throughout.
The pure food enactment and the
-aot inspection provisions are also
.u~ortant changes in the federal atti-
lido toward both the producer and
consumer of the country.
uniform and more strict method
:. noturalizing aliens was enacted.
rho immunity of witnesses from
..osocution who give testimony before
rornment tribunals was made the
subiect of an enactment which clearly
totes when such immunity obtains
and when otherwise.
h hill removing the internal reve-
20 toy on denatured alcohol was also
passed.
The type of the Panama canal was
svod thus settling a question which
has perplexed both the professional
.nd Law mind. The president is to
huild lock level canal, and was given
total of $39,0OO,000 for the year for
that purpose. 1t was required that
material for the canal should be of
American manufacture, unless the
president shall find the price ex-
cossiye. in which case he is given au-
thority to buy abroad.
The consular service was given a
complete new legal status, which will
permit of an entire reorganization.
When the appropriations for the
session are totaled it will be found
that they have reached nearly $780,
100000.
The naval increases which have
been going on annually received some
what of setback. -
"The largest battle ship afloat"
was authorized, but congress required
that before bids for it are accepted
the plans must be sent to congress at
its next session. The annual apprO-
priation for the state militia was
doubled and hereafter 100000 will
be spent from the treasury for the
purpose of keeping the state militia
! organizations in touch with the regu-
lar army.

road and other employees engaged in
!. similar employments in regard to en-
ployers' liability became a law. The
government will participate in the
Jamestown tercentennial exposition
and $1,325,000 was authorized
by congress to be expended out of the
federal treasury for that event.
Speedy appropriations for the San
Francisco sufferers resulted from re-
quests by the president, 81, 900 be-
ing donated directly, and supplies and
stores of the government nearly
equaled that amount.
Private pension legislation for the
benefit Of the old soldier who is I'M
able to receive pension under the
statute laws kept up it's usual heavy
pace
President Roosevelt went to the
capitol during the morning OF sign
