Must Die On GalloWs,

Denver.-Andrew johnson will have
to follow the course of the law some

atty by hanging for numbering Mar
shal Frisbee at Lamar, Prowers county
last spring. This was the substance
OF an opinion rendered by Lieut.. Gov
Harper upon request Of Attorney Cen
eral Dickson.
Judge Hunter sentenced Johnson
to death by hanging in the district
court OF Prowers county, and his evi.
dence is all that the attorney based
his opinion on. The appeal of John.
son to the governor stated that cir.
cumstantial evidence alone was not
adequate evidence to sentence man
to death, but upon investigation Mr.
Dickson found that there were three
eye witnesses to the shooting. He
holds that since this has been pro
duced, there is no hope for Johnson.

Bio Bird. on Small Wings.

In the attempt to discover some
universal law OF bird flight, scientists
have disclosed concerning q number
of species a most puzzling paradox.
perhaps the most mysterious OF the
enigmas that the subject presents,
says q writer In Everybody's Maga'
zine. 1t is that in q number OF birds
and insects the size OF the wings de-
creases in proportion TO the increase
in size OF the body OF the flying crea'
ture. The Australian crane. for In
stance, weighs over 300 times more
than the sparrow. but in proportion
has only one-seventh the wing area
of the smaller bird. This curious fact
is equally striking II we compare birds
with insects. II the gnat were In
creased in size until 1t was as large as
the Australian crane and II the wings
OF the insect were enlarged TO main
tain the proportion they now bear 70
its body, they would be about l5o
times larger than the cranes. II re-
quires 3.62 square feet OF wing area

only .6s OF square foot OF wing sur
face per pound OF body. The albatross'
weighing is pounds. has spread OF
wing Of II feet and c inches, while the
trumpeter swan. weighing IS pounds
has a spread OF wing OF only eight
feet. The stork weighs eight times
more than the pigeon. but in proper
