Strange Drawbridge.

From the Minneapolis Journal
With the idea in mind of bridging the
Narrows at Lake Minnetonka in a manner
more slightly. economical and feasible
than the bobtail draw span with clear
ance of sixty feet. Eric Swensson. con-
sulting engineer. has designed lift
bridge intended to avoid the complicated
mechanism Of the ordinary bascule bridge.
and the expense attending its adaptation
to special conditions. and made a sketch
of something new in the lift bridge type.
Mr. Swensson considered the plan he has
drawn fundamentally simple. The ordi-
nary span is by vertical arms suspended
on two trunions. which rest on fixed por-
tal-formed towers at the ends of the
bridge The entire bridge may be swung
around horizontal longitudinal axis SO
that when the bridge is open the movable
span occupies a raised Inverted position.
with enough clearance for the largest YES
sells.
All the DEVICES will be operated from
the room in tae upper part of the fixed
towers. Automatic gates will close the
roadway when the gate bridge is open.

Gen o. o. Howard in St. Nicholas.
The Pima Indians. who live on the
banks of the ella river pronounced In
Spanish Heela). are the most civilized OF
any North American Indians. They live
in houses. manufacture useful articles.
and are known for simplicity of charac-
ter. peacefulness and honesty. But they
have had their wars. A battle took
place near the broad TRAIL" which Is
now sometimes called the Temple road.
I-rsuth was war chief then. and he led
his people against a band Of Apache In
dams The Pimas were far outnum-
bered by Apache warriors, and yet many
were killed on both sides, but. although
Ursuth received three wounds, he was
able to keep the Apaches back till the
Pima women and CHILDREN had escaped
and reached place of safety.
The Pimas are proud of the fact that
they have never killed a white man, They
hate the Apaches and make war against
them, but have always been the Mhlts
mans friend.

From the Philadelphia Record.


Rather than bring about an epidemic OF
race suicide in East Nottingham township
by keeping imprisoned the famous belled
buzzard which acts in the capacity of the
legendary stork for that community. Sam
uel Winchester, who captured the bird
few days ago. has decided to set 1t free.
Great numbers of persons have focked 10
see the big bird. and its capture aroused
great interest throughout the entire town
ship The buzzard is an unusually large
one. and is somewhat differently colored
from others of its species. 1t has for
years been recognized by sleigh bell
wired to it's leg. For nearly quarter Of
a century its lowering over a farmhouse
has been regarded as an infallible sign
that there was to be an addition to the
family. Mothers instead of telling their
children of the storks visit. informed
them that the belled buzzard was the
bearer of the little one. People have been
trying to capture it for years. but no
one ever succeeded until it fell into Mr..
Winchesters hands.

appropriation of public moneys could not
be considered with that freedom of dis
cussion and action that other wise would
have enabled this House to prevent many
of the increases that were finally agreed
to- AS the result of these increases the
aggregate of the appropriations made al
this session is larger by many millions
than it otherwise would have been"
Mr. Tawney said that review Of the
demands made upon Congress at this ses.
sion showed that the estimates for the
established public service and for pre-
viously authorized public works for the
next fiscal year were more than 1856.
COO 900 in excess of appropriations made
for the same purpose during the last SEES
sion of the Fifty-ninth Congress, and
that these demands did not rest, in fact
upon the necessities of the public service
but were supported mainly by official
recommendations to Congress- backed by
the approval of the press of the coun-
trv. and they consisted largely Of in
creased compensation to those in the civil
and military branches of the public
service.
The Total Appropriations.
Mr.. Tawney stated the total appropria-
tons for the session to be SS5l, OSs $40.
