FlvIno Kites For Luck.

On the ninth day Of the ninth month,
according to the Chinese calendar, all
the Celestials, old and young alike, be-
take themselves to the hills behind
their towns and amuse themselves by
flying kites. But amusement is not
the sole reason for this ceremony. It
comes from an old Chinese legend.
and if a Chinaman did not fly his kite
on the given day he would rest uneas-
lily for the remainder of his life in fear
that misfortune would overtake his
family. The legend runs that many
years ago a certain Chinaman was
warned in a dream that a misfOe1une
would come TO his home on certain
day. Accordingly on that day he re-
paired to an adjacent hill and amused
himself and his family by flying a
kite while he was waiting for the dis
aster. In the evening, upon returning
to the valley in which his house was
situated, he found that 1t had fallen
in and buried his pigs beneath it. He
and his neighbors Joined in thanksgiv'
ing for his narrow escape, and In
memory Of the event every year sees
the fight Of millions Of kites in China

he requested an officer. NJ. de Belloc,
to call a young man who was wearing
the uniform Of the military school and

"and I am not Of your opinion. His

The unsociable fellow was the future

An Exnert Mnrknmnn.

The terms "sharpshooter," expert
marksman," etc, which have distin-
guished the classes OF military rihemen
are often puzzllng TO those not familiar
with rifle practice. To become a
marksman one must make 0s out OF
a possible 100 at 200, 800 and 800
yards. The sharpshooter must get
100. out OF 200 at 200, 800, 600 and COO
yards, besides doing well enough in
skirmish to bring his total TO 22J, or
two-thirds Of the possible score. An
expert must do all this and also score
40 out of 90 at 300 yards and 35 out
Of 90 at 1000 yards. The latter dis
tance is more than half a mile and

BILLS
IN THE HOUSE
A NUMBER OF SENATE BILLS
PASS FIRST READING IN THE
HOUSE.

In the House yesterday afternoon
sensation was sprung by the reading
of the report of superintendent Hollo-
way Of Public Works in reply to a reso-
luton adopted by the House asking for
complete report in regard to the
moneys expended under the Loan Act

the work now being carried on. The
report showed that e. items on the
Loan Bill appropriating money for va
rious buildings and public works were
ignored and the money 'uneXpended by
direction of the Governor, The total
amount appropriated by the oLan Act
was 81 ,377 900 and there is an uneX-
pended balance of 1912, S39S4 of which
about $75OOOO is uneXpended at the
Governors orders. There has been
total expenditure of money under the
Loan Act of 1905 of $4O4 1906.
The feeling in the House was any
thing but calm when the clerk finished
reading the report Members seemed
to think that there was but little use
in appropriating money unless it was
expended The matter was referred to
the Committee on Public Lands.
