PECULIAR INDIAN MARRIAGE
RITES

Marriage, among the Hopi tribe OF
theh Pueblo Indians. Is an institution
regarding which those most concerned
have least TO say. When the parents of
a girl find II eNpedient for her to get
married, they look up an available man
and negotiate with his parents. After
the matter has been arranged. the prin-
cipals are notified, the girl goes to the
home of the grooms parents and grinds
corn for them for three weeks. while the
groom makes kind of sash for the
bride. Then one morning at sunrise,
they both battle their heads In cold wa
ter, which completes the ceremony.
There have been instances Of the
grooms refusing to go through the per-
Torrance, which has then proceeded
without him and been accounted valid,
and several weeks later he has yielded
and had his head bathed.
The Navajo ceremony is much more

12,TON FLYWHEEL BURSTS.
Did S1O.oOO Damage in the North
Adams Gus Works.

North Adams, Aug. "A 12-ton fy-
wheel burst at the works OF the North
Adams Gas Light company Yesterday
doing damage estimated at $4,000 Pieces
of the wheel crashed through the walls
and roof and flew with terrific froce north
OF the building. One piece of the wheel
was hurled through the air 800 feet and
struck against the walls of the Arnold
pNnt works across the river. knocking
hole about two feet IN diameter
through the brick wall just below the top
story. Another piece fell on the railroad
track and buried itself in the gravel.
Still another fragment about four feet
OF the river nearest the works, about 200
feet from the building.
Several other pieces of the wheels lay
strewn along the line in which the wheel
expounded It's enormous energy The
shafting of the wheel which weighs sew
eral tons, was found completely reversed
after the bursting Of the wheel. showing
that it had been thrown into the air by
the force of the wheel and twisted
through half-revolution.
Fortunately no one was killed or In
tured. The exact cause of the accident
Is not known From some cause the en-
CINE. a 5Oo-horSepower machine OF the
compound condensing type, began TO
race. It Is thought that perhaps a bolt
gave way, or a connection became loos-
ened Whatever It was, It was outside
the responsibility Of the engineer. and
the low pressure side seemed to run
away with the high pressure side. Chief
Engineer +. +. Briggs and two other
engineers were In the building at the
time and Briggs saw that something
was the matter with the engine and
started to shut It down. He had.Vea ched
the emergency shut off and operated the
AUTOMATIC push bottom, which closed the
throttle when the wheel burst.
