The phenomenon of a shower Of
fishes which recently caused "consid-
cradle speculation" in the Calthness
district is of more common occur
renee than is generally supposed.
Itis undoubtedly due to some small
fry of fishes having been lifted from
the water and carried over dry land
by what is popularity known as a
waterspout. When two currents of
air travelling in opposite directions
meet the resulting atmospheric dis
turbance, If on small scale. is called
a whirlwind and, If on a large scale,
a tornado, the destructive powers Of
which are proverbial.
The Hon. Ralph Abercromby de-
fines a whirlwind as "a mass of air
whose height is enormously greater
than its width, rotating rapidly round
a more or less vertical axis" The
mass might be, for instance, zoo feet
high and only ten feet in diameter.
This whirlwind column has funnel
like center and may travel as fast as
thirty smiles an hour in a particular
course.
The phenomenon is usually visible
In the sky as a descending column.
This is owing to the compression of a
cloud within the circuit of the whirl-
wind air. Should tho disturbance

Bankers Use Copies of Presi-
dents Speech.
Got Hold of Advance Pamphlets and
Took In Lambs for Three
Points.
COTTON SCANDAL NOT IN 1T.

New York, Aug. 17.-Armed with
advance copies of President Roose-
velt's speech, some of the important
brokers yesterday set trap for the
public by deliberately opening down
the stock market down from to 4
points, and then advancing 1t from 2
to points.
The conspirators who had been
clever enough to get the presidential
words in advance followed their first
selling orders with heavy orders to
buy. They had scooped up thousands
of shares before the street realized
that it had been led into an ambush.
When the truth was realized an in
vestigation showed that the newspa-
pers had not yet received their cop
les of the speech.
1t was discovered. however. that a
few persons were in possession of il.
Before the day closed half the street
knew that President Roosevelt would
make a conservative address next
week. II was a glorious victory for
the conspirators. 1t ought to be worth
at least a million dollars TO the for
tunate politician who conveyed it
to the powers in Wall street. If he
gets less than a million it will be
gross injustice.
Bad as Cotton Scandal.
But all Wall street rejoiced in the
fact that somebody had secured a
copy of the presidents speech, anG
on reading 1t had decided to see what
President Roosevelt will consider a
square deal" for the one that stole
his speech and sold 1t to Wall street.
OF all the scandals that have come
out of Oyster Bay this was the most
outrageous. IL calls to mind the sale
Of the crop reports and the specula-
ton by high officials in Washington
in the cotton market. II reminds
Wall street that the government stop
ped its investigation of the cotton
scandal as soon as IL discovered what
il would bring out II il continued. IL
is probable in the light Of today's ex-
perience that a demand will be male
for a renewal of the cotton investi-
cation and complete exposure of the
government employees who have been
making fortunes in Wall street at
the expense of the public and through
the use of government Information.

The old saying that it makes difference
whose OK is gored has been changed in
sound but not in sense by President Roose.
velt in order to express his feelings in rela.
tion TO the panic. When he heard of the
failure Of the great Westinghouse eectical
concern, he exclaimed: "Myl didn't mean
to hit them" This expression proves that
the President meant to hit somebody and to
spare somebody else, but that his strokes
were so carelessly delivered that they hit his
friends, as well as his foes.
His venom towards particular people
caused him to be blind to all else. And it
was the failure of the Westinghouse con.
Germ that precipitated the panic.
Possibly, the President intended to pro
duce panic in order that his good friends
of the Steel Trust might break down and
absorb the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com.
pany, and thus, by becoming still greater
monopoly, become better trust than ever.
1t looks that way. It looks as 1.-THE President

striving to depress certain lines of securities

them at bottom prices, and 80 gained con.

securities. But his shear policy" was not
Intended to hurt Westinghouse. Nor was
it intended to hit any of those trust com.
panies, banks, real estate companies, or other
enterprises in which the numerous Roose-
velts are interested. 1t looks, indeed, as if
his bear policy had been aimed exclusively
against independent industrial enterprises
which were'struggling with the trusts. The
independents have been crippled by it, and
have largely succumbed to the pressure
brought to bear by the Morgan. Roosevelt
financial interests. And since this object
has been attained, the President seems to be
satisfied.
