LAST CAME HUNT
Final Big Indian Festival to be
Held in Northern
Idaho.
WHITE SPORTSMEN INVITED
Braves From Northwestern Tribes Will
Hunt and Fish Prior to Opening
Reservations.

Chieftains, medicine men and braves
of every tribe i'll the Pacific northwest
have been invited to the great Indian
council and spring festival. which will
take place near Agatha, al the hcadwa-
ters of the Clearwater river in north
ern Idaho, the last of March, when Il
is expected to eclipse the annual medi-
cine dance just closed at .Iuliaetta.

dances Then came the feast nj which
the chief item was barbecued OK,
and when this was concluded the host
and his guests took part in the war
dance. This was followed by the Rrol,
and BrOk peace dance, following the
making of IA treaty. In the evening the
dookahwOn, a dance of the Nez Perez
tribe, was performed. 1t continued
about an hour. when the order sudden

The dances were interesting, the In

songs and moving in unison till it
seemed as though they were images

dances were carried on without no.
ticeable movement Of the muscles of
the mems faces, and it WIS impossible
to tell from the expression whether
they felt the effects of the long con-
tinued and involved gyrations, the old
men seeming as fresh at each new
dance as the Youths.
Dances Are Interesting.
The medicine dance was the most
interesting and was the only one the
Indians were able to give clear eX-
PLANTATION of. The dance comes from
the ancient belief that when person
is ill some evil spirit has taken posses
sion of his soul and that unless this is
driven out the person will die. The
only man in the tribe that can drive
out the evil spirit is the medicine man,
who is believed to have a divine pow
er over the souls of the tribesmen. 1t
is this dance which brings the Indians
together each year, and it is the one
time in the year when the medicine
man has the greatest power.
Head men of the Umatilla, Yakima,
Spokane, COlville and other tribes in
the northwest say the feast just closed
Will have Il place in Indian history as
one of the greatest in recent years on
account of the large number of repre-
sentative men as participants in the
dances and the manner in which every
detail of the celebration was carried
out There was no drunkenneSS-in
fact. no tirewater was seen. Peter MOZ
MoX having given his word he would
allow no one to drink liquor while his
guest and no attempt was made to
bring It from saloons at Jullaetta.
The coming hunt Of the Indians is
attracting much attention among
SportSmen throughout the country. II

Idaho. through several counties in east

WOULD SAVE LIVES AT SEA.
Arbuckle's Plan of Rescue With q
Fleet of Boats.

John Arbucklc is about to embark in
the life saving business along the At
lantic coast and has Interested Presi-
dent Roosevelt to the extent of obtain
ing from him letter to Congressman
Cocks saying that ArbuckIe's scheme
seems to he excellent ana suggesting
that if Mr.. Cocks investigation veri-
tieS it the congressman will Introduce
a bill to secure federal cooperation,
says the Washington Post.
Mr.. Arbuckle has purchased the out
fit of the North America Wrecking
company. consisting of the wrecling
boats Helen NJ Field and North Amer
lea and seagoinG barge. His plan is
TO rescue the lives of those on stranded
steamers from the sea and not from
the land. He cites the case of the Cher
okee. which was stranded at Brigan-
tine Beach in January of last year. two
and Il half miles from shore, when the
fifty-six persons on board were com
PEELED to remain seventy hours before
the life savers from shore could reach
them. Mr.. Arbuckie says that many
vessels are wrecked so far out that it
is impossible for life lines to be shot
to them. and often the surf is so high
that Iifeboats cannot he launched.
The Arbuckle plan is to keep feet
of boats ready at Sandy Hook with
steam up to go at once to any wreck
within, perhaps. 100 miles. He asks
for the cooperation of the life savers
to the extent that they be required by
law to send word by wireless telegraph

then to guide his boats by rockets at

Curfew For Schoolteachers.

Acting on suggestion from the
board of education, Superintendent j.
G. Masters officially notified the wo-
men teachers of the Tulsa q. t. pull

attendance on social affairs during the
nights included in the school week.
The action was taken in the belief that
it would work to the advantage Of

thus accepted by the numerous femi-

restrictions extend only ove- four

Matter of Scientific Interest.

Now. however. since the recent dis
coveries in radio activity and the dis
Indignation of atoms. an encounter with
Il comet or its tail would form intense
scientific interest and might lead to
important discoveries. We know now
that the sun ioniZeS the substance of q
comet and sends off from it with the
speed of tens of thousands of miles in
a second vast clouds of electrified cor
puscles thousand times smaller than
the smallest atom, and just what the
effect would be of the sudden introduc-
ton of billions upon billions of these
electric nuclei into the atmosphere It
is difficult to say.
1t IS believed that the sun sends no
such corpuscles whenever great eXplo-
sions take place on its surface, but &
comet would be like blowing Il cloud
of poisonous dust into a room. The eff
feet upon life might be stimulating or
the reverse, according to the nature o.
the substances introduced.
Every corpusc!e carries a charge OF
negative electricity. and the electric
state of the atmosphere could not fail
to he affected by their introduction iii
great quantities.
AS 10 the direct mechanical effect %

be none unless the comets head OF
nucleus itself hit the earth. In thai
event the effect would he mostly local

If the comet were n big one. like tina

damage than has several times been

that the earth has been hit ut variouf

WILL COMET HIT?
Much Speculation as to Course
Of Heavenly Body Found
by Marchetti.
IMPACT WON'T WRECK EARTH
Garrett p. Serviss Says Fiery Orb
Which is Rushing This Way
Is Small.

Professor Matteucci of the Vesuvius
observatory is quoted as saying that
toward the end of March the substance
of the new comet discovered by Mar
chetti will come in contact with the
earths atmosphere, with consequences
probably dangerous to the world. His
brother is of the same opinion.
The prediction of II collision between
the earth and Marchetti's comet about
the end of March may or may not be
fulfilled, but in any event nobody has
any cause to run for shelter, and it
would not do any good to run, for nc
body can tell just where comet is
going to strike. if it strikes at ali,
writes Garrett p. Serviss in the New
York American.
This is Il small comet, and it's en-
tire substance, if condensed into a
solid mass, probably would not exceed
a good, big New England bowlder in
size. Yet the thought of such COLI
sion is thrilling one, and even very
small comet fairly hitting the earth
would make the greatest display of
fireworks ever seen and might do con-
siderable damage.
Astronomers have long recognized the
possibility of such collisions. In fact,
the earth has narrowly escaped them
several times in the past century, and
since comets come from all possible
directions and seem to be unlimited in
number an accident of that kind is al
most certain to occur some time or 9th
er. A part of Biela's comet plunged
into the atmosphere twenty-five years
ago. but there was not enough of it Il
more than furnish fiery splutter OF
meteorS, none of which got unconsum
ed to the ground.
Forty-siX years ago the earth ran
through the tail of a really big comet
and enjoyed one night of curious lumi
mar skies in consequence: but. al
! though epidemic diseases that quickly
afterward afflicted mankind We're as
cribed to some foreign substance intro
duced into the atmosphere by the com
| cts tail. the alleged connection of thC
| two phenomena was never positively
established.
