Mrs. NJ. NJ. Funk, Vandergrift, Pa,

Fraternal Organization VIII Hold Big
Convention Next Month.

Arrangements are progressing rap
idly for the convening in Portland
next month, of the first national con-
clave Of the Brotherhood of Owls, a
fraternal organization, which, while
scarcely more than a year old, is
rapidly approaching the 100000 men,

The convention will bring together
representative delegates Of the Dig
order from all parts of the country

Gus C. Mosier, who is the big owl in
Portland's nest, which is No. 4, says
that from estimates he now has In his

far from 1900 Owls in Portland tc
attend the convention, and the com

credentials having been forwarded tc
the grand nest from enough OF the
locals to warrant this estimate.

middle of January the tendency
should again be toward easier con-
ditions. Funds withdrawn for crop
moving purposes will soon begin to
return from the interior, while mon
ey withdrawn by interior banks dur
ing the panic will also come back
with considerable freedom.
The distribution of January divi-
dend and interest payments will be
helpful, stimulating the investment
demand somewhat and enabling many
individuals to lessen their indebted
ness. Last year these payments
amounted to about $3.50, 900, 900;
this year they will probably exceed
that figure, owing to the large issue
Of notes and other securities during
1907.
Some decreases in dividends have
been announced and more may follow
but these are not likely to prove suf-
ficient to offset increased payments in
other directions.

REMOVING A BANK HOoDoo.
Friday, December 13, Saw Snake
Sign Torn Down In Portland.

Friday, the 18th day of the month
will long be remembered by people
in Portland, says the Oregonian. 1t
Is the sort of day when those who be-
lieve In superstitions avoid spllling
salt without promptly throwing a
pinch over their right shoulder-or
left, whichever 1t is; when sitting 13
at a table was thought to be direct
challenge to the unseen powers of
life and death; when raising an UNI
brella indoors certainly would bring
dire disaster to that home; when vo-
taries Of the superstitious cult would
go blocks out of their way to avoid
passing under ladder; when they al
ways went out of a room by the same
doorway through which they had en-
tered; when they secured and cherish
ed a discarded horseshoe; when they
saw calamity following the breaking
Of a mirror; when they picked up a
pin from a sidewalk If it presented
the point, but dlsdained 1t II tthe
head were met with; when the pet
dog baying at the moon nights meant
death somewhere or other before
morning, and the other silly "signs"
which ignorant people effect to be-
lieve In.
But Friday, the 18th, is also re-
garded by wise ones as the proper
day and date on which to remove
hoodos. Acting upon this belief,
those in authority at the Oregon
Trust & Savings bank yesterday had
the famous "snake" sign taken down.
As efforts are being make to re-
open the bank within a short time, II
is supposed the new regime decided
that the electrical device was respon-
sible in some mysterious manner for
the troubles that overlook the insti-
tuition, and resolved to have no more
OF 1t.
AS matter OF fact the snake sign
was never looked upon as a dignified
method Of advertising bank and
was the subject Of much adverse crit
icism from passersby. Well-wishers
OF the concern will doubtless applaud
the action OF Jack Day and other Of
ficlals who are responsible for remov-

MONEY OUTLOOK
IS IMPROVING
CLEARING HOUSE GER
TIFICATES STILL OUT
Distribution OF Dividends VIII Hep
the Situation-MOre Than $780,
900 to be Turned Loose In January
Payments-Few Decreased Divi-
dends Have Been Announced.

Henry Clews, the financier OF Ne"
York. sends out the following nope
f,l review OF the financial situation
in his letter this week;
The monetary situation shows SLOW
but sure Improvement. The prem
ium on currency, a system OF disor-
der has not yet entirely disappeared
but is declining. It is not known tha'
clearing house certificates have been
cancelled to any important extent,
but the prospects are that this policy
will soon be inaugurated.
The banks Of New York in their
recent statement showed themselves
as a whole to be in very good con-
dition. considering the tremendous
burden which has recently been i'm
posed upon them.
With scarcely an exception the
clearing house banks have shown a
very clear recognition of enlightened
self-interest by dipping into their
reserves and loaning freely in time
of distress. Their policy has been II
very favorable contrast to that adopt
ed by many other cities, where In
some instances banks openly boastec
of carrying reserves from 80 TO OF
per cent, when the New York banks
were straining every resource to helI
those In trouble.
1t is unfortunate that so many IN
stitutions glaringly failed in theiI
conception Of responsibility and duty
in time of disaster; especially as BY
the pursuit Of such an ultra-selfish
policy they aggravated rather thar
ameliorated difficulties which mus
have reacted upon themselves OF
their associates.
At any rate, the banks Of New
York have passed through the crisis
very satisfactorily. There may be
some wedding out of unsound or use
less concerns, but there has been nc
signal disaster in this panic among
the New York banks. The trust COM
panies' situation is the chief source
OF perplexity now. During the next
two weeks the stringency In money
may be continued in view Of the
preparations for January interest dis
bursements and settlements incident
al 10 the close Of the year.
A good many maturities will also
have to be extended during the next
few weeks and this this may add to
the firmness In money, but after the

RIVER OF SALT WATER.
Flows Inland in Creek Island and
Then Disappears.

Flows Inland In a Greek Island and
Then Disappears.
One OF the most curious phenomena
of geography is found Oh tho southern
coast OF the island OF Ccphalonia, near
Greece. 1t is II stream Of salt water
which for an unknown period has left
the almost tIdclcss sea and flowed in
land with considerable volume.
The sen enters the land ut four
points where the coast IS practically on
level with the salt water surface
The four initial streams unite TO form
the little river that flows inland in n
broken rocky channel until it finally
disappears in the limestone rock and
sinks into the earth.
This inland now has continued nj
most certainly FOR several centuries
1t IS far too great for removal by cvap.
grafton. chemical combination or even
physical absorption by pores or cav,
crns in the rocks. Whit becomes oi
the water that Is constantly flowing
inland ana disappears finally In tho
assures that have opened In the lime
stone?
The question has been the subject OF
much study, but no conclusive answer
has been given. II is probable that
there is mn underground channel which
carries the water back into the sen n
no great depth below tho surface. The
constant influx Of salt water ut Cephn
lonia Is duplicated as far rs is known
at no other point of the world.-Nov
