BIRDS STILL THE FASTEST.

1t puts a keener edge on the pur-
suit of the perfect flying mechan-
ism, the long-sought aeroplane, the
steering balloon, gas engine driven,
to realize that homing pigeons have
covered 800 miles at the average
speed of GO miles an hour and 400
miles at So miles an hour. For 100
miles the bird record is more than
SIS miles an hour, which is far be-
yond the best automobile record and
ahead of any railroad performance.
Naturalists think that some of the
big sea birds can beat the best hem-
ing pigeons easily. There are stu
dents of ornithology who claim that
frigate birds can average 100 miles
an hour for a long time. Certainly
some gulls play with mile-a-minute
speed when they are in a hurry

HANDED A LEMON
To the Principal of COlored
Public Schools.

The Trustees of the Hopkinsville
colored schools sprang a surprise on
Prof. ]. w. Bell few days ago, by
notifying him that his services had
been dispensed with as principal and
the place given to the wife Of Peter
Postell, chairman of the board of
trustees. Prof. Bell came here in
1902 with an experience of ten years,
three years in Roger Williams Uni
versity, from which he graduated.
His friends claim that he has Civ
en- entire satisfaction, turning out
81 graduates in five years, whereas
all of his predecessors had gradu-
ated only IA before. There we're Il
graduates this year.
Prof. Bell claims that he was as
sured by each of the trustees, Peter
Postell, Alex Brent and Geo. Leavell,
that he would be reelected again
and he complains bitterly Of their
failure to do so, as he is severely
handicapped at this late day in seek
ing another location.
The salary of the position is SIS a
month and the principal has charge
of schools with an enrolment of 839
and an average attendance of GAO.
The district contains about 1900
pupils between the ages of 6 and 20
The schools are supported by a state
per capita which paid SO, 73898 last
year and 81 500 from the city school
fund and small amounts from pay
pupils, public entertainments, etc.
which this year amounted to some
thing over 500. In addition to the
principal, there were ten teachers
who were paid last year $40 each
the teachers monthly pay roll being
$3.50. Prof. Bell has applied for
place in the Evansville schools.
