A man can easily spend as much as
half an hour walking out Of doors
every day. This is for he4rt, lungs

Third.-The reservation OF at least

Bird SOrRa.

Naturalists have long been puzzled
as to how birds learn to sing. Does it
come natural to a bird Of a certain
species to sing the song common to Its
kind or does # learn to initiate what
ever song II most hears during the
early days Of its life? Experiments
made by well known student of bird
life proved that most birds simply learn
by imitation He placed young linnets
to be reared by skylarks. WOODLANDS,
dtlarks and other breeds. and in every
case the innet learned the song Of his
foster parents Again, a number Of lin
nets were reared where they had no
chance Of hearing the song of any
bird at all In due course they began
to sing, but their song was entirely
original The cuckoo, however, seems
to be an exception, for although II is
almost Invariably reared by foster
parents Of any species but its own.
1t always sings to perfection its own
peculiar song, quite uninfuenced by
the vocal efforts of Its guardians.

Linton Record: One of our state
exchanges comments on political
topic as follows: The democrats
have had a good deal to say about the
kind of legislation enacted at the last
session of the legislature, and have
been loudly denouncing the capitol
commission bill. They hold out to the
voter that if they were in power they
would not attempt to pass Legislation
of this nature, and try to make the
people believe that the salvation o.
the state depends on the election O.

commission bill in the senate, ant
that Tobias Casey, chairman of tn
democratic convention at Minot, an,
the only democrat in the house, ais
voted for the measure.

THE STREET PROBLEM.

The matter of the grading the
streets Of Bismarck and the money
spent therefor from time to time
and the estimate for the coming
year being just now the subject
of general discussion, and Alder
man e. G. Patterson having taken
occasion to announce that he is
"not now member of the committee
on streets" and "has not been chair
man of that committee for years." and
that he has not therefore greatly in
terested himself in our thoroughfares"
has aroused the ire of some of the
other aldermen and Mr.. McGillis, who
is now chairman of the committee on
streets, grades and additions declares
that the Sinking of responsibility"
by any member of the council or any
member OF the committee is neither
just to him or square with the people.
While it is true that great deal of
work has been done on the streets and
considerable money spent, Alderman
McGillis denies the charge that I'M
necessary work has been done, and as
"a general proposition that it has not
been well done He calls attention to
the fact that most of the street work
done during the last three years was
done prior to the digging up of the
streets by the sewer contractors and
those making water and sewer con.
nections. lr "a s. * .4e.s1t5. * .
Mr.. Patterson declares that most Of
our streets are above grade, but in
the absence of established street
grades it is difficult to determine this
