A Bird Fiiqht FalIacy.

There have been decades of dispute
over the value of the hollow bones
and the air sacs il many species Of
birds. 1t has been contend.d that, in
asmuch as the tempecatrre of birds
is higher than that Of any other crea-
ture, this network of air chambers,
becoming filed with air warmer than
the surrounding atmosphere. enables
the bird to rise. 1t is true that the
gannet, the pigeon, the pelican, the
albatross and other flying birds are
equipped with air chambers, but the
Australian emu, which flies when at
all with the greatest difficulty, as well
as the ostrich and the apteryx, which
cannot fly at all, are also provided
with these air cells-and so, too, is the
orang outang! Moreover, notably good
fiiers-swifts, martins, snipes, the
gloss starting, the spotted fycatcher,
the wood wren and the black headed
buntlng-have bones destitute of air.

marrow. No fallacy in science has

The Milk In the Coooanut.

Every boy knows the three eyes to
be found in one end of cocoanut,
and many boy has bored these eyes
out, or one or two of them, with the
small blade of Il pocketknife so as to
get at the milk in the cocoanut, which
he has then drained ont into q cup or
drunk direct from the cocoanut itself.
But there is more fascinating way
still of getting at the milk in the cocoa
nut. BY this other method the cocoa
nut Is opened at the other end from
the eyes. The cocoanut Is struck all
around gently and repeatedly with n
hammer. or stone will do, at 4 dis-
lance of about one-third of the way
down from the top, about Where the
arctic circle would be on n globe. A
continual gentle tapping will finally
crack the she'll of the nut all around;
not IN line exactly on the circle per-
haps, but pretty near 1t. Sometimes it
cracks shell and meat of the nut, too,
SO that both can be lifted off together;
sometimes it cracks out only shell
cap at the top, which is lifted off, and
the cap of meat underneath is then cut
out around with knife. And then
there you are with the white lined co.
coanut cup to drink from.

evening while returning from church,
Hazel Hutehins and Beulah Doney had
the misfortune to be thrown out of q
buggy and seriously injured. They were
turning corner when the report of a
gun near them frightened the horse,
the animal upset the buggy, throwing
them out. Help reached them imme-
diately and they were taken home
where it was discovered that Hazel had
some broken bones. DR.. Mcdonald was
called and he found that the collar bone
was broken in two places, and there
were several other minor injuries.
Beulah suffered several severe bruises.
Both girls are getting along nicely, but
it will be some time before they are
able to attend to their duties. People
should be warned by this not to shoot

Good Advice.

Life is too short
To store up bile;
We're only here
A little while,
We walk together
A short way!
Lies just
Howdy-do? Good day.
Lies just touching
Hands, and then
A parting far
And wide again;
A looking back
To days of yore,
A hopeful looking
On once more.
And then, somewhere
By mount or sea,
A rounded mound
Beneath a tree;
Pass up the sings
And things that crate
And try to keep
Your grin on straight.
Bear and forbear;
Walk in the light;
Clasp hands; look love;
Here comes the night.

Hudson Burr, of Little River. Dade
county, and chairman of the Florida
Railroad Commission, will positively
be a candidate for Governor to sue

Burr made this announcement last
Friday.
Mr.. Burr came into prominence
four years ago by newspaper adveT-
tisement, announcing his candidacy
for railroad commissioner. He de-
veloped into a strong public speaker.
Albert W. Gilchrist, of Punta
Gorda, is already an announced can
didate for governor, and he is a man
of strong personality. and an active
campaigner. He has strong support
and will be a decided factor in the
contest.
T. Albert Jennings has made no
formal declaration of his candidacy.
but il is generally understood that
he will run. In fact, he is giving
encouragement to the use of his
name in this connection.

Senatorial Race.
1t is thought by some politicians
that S. NJ. Sparkman and Frank
Adams will soon announce for the
L. S. senate to succeed Senator Nal
lOry. John S. Beard has already an
nounced his candidacy for this posi-
ton. and will make an active canvass
of the state. Should Congressman
Sparkman enter the Senatorial race,
Park NJ Trammell will declare his
candidacy for congress. Some believe
that Mr. Trammell will run for con
Gress regardless of Mr.. Sparkman's
decision.
There was some talk of Frank
Clark announcing his candidacy for
the United States senate, but local
politicians say that the second district
congressman will be cOntented TO sue
ceed himself, and that he Will likely
have no opposition.
