STRENGTH OF AN EAGLE.
Wonderful Power In the Birds Claws
 and Leas.


 While I cannot give any positive proof of how much bald eagle can carry, should suppose, declares a writer in Forest and Stream, that he could carry at least as much in pro- portion to his weight as hawk or a horned owl. I have the recorded weight of q male bald eagle weighing nine and quarter pounds and a fe- male weighing twelve pounds.
 A horned owl will weigh from four to five pounds, and I have several times known one to carry off large house cat. One cat was very large, and the owner told me he could hear the cat cry as he was being carried off. Now, any one who will weigh a large house cat will find it to weigh at least ten pounds.
 have seen a goshawk carry off a hen fully twice its own weight, and have taken from marsh hawk very large chicken which would weigh more than twice what the hawk would. The marsh hawk is one of our weak est hawks, but he had carried this chicken over quarter of mile. My belief is that if hawk or horned owl can carry more than twice its weight (and know positively that they cam then an eagle could, if occasion re- quired do as much in proportion to his weight, which would be to carry eighteen or twenty pounds.
 Once when an eagle, shot through the body with rifle ball, lay on his back up ended long road skid and dropped it on him. Before 1t reached him he stretched up and caught 1t in his claws and held it the length of his legs above him. l walked up on the skid and stood above him, and he easily held me and the skid, which I should judge would weigh more than twenty pounds. l took pains to be weighed the same day and weighed 119 pounds. Put stick in the claw of a wounded eagle and let him grasp a small tree with the other, and man must be stronger than I ever was to take the stick from him.

 Until Monday.
THE STORY HE TOLD

New York, Nov 25.-While public interest in teh governments suit against the Standard oil Co has wan ed to some extent since the comple- | tion of John D. Rockefeller's testi- mony there are several important witnesses yet to be heard. By no means the least of these is John D. Archbold vice president of the com pany, who followed MT Rockefeller on the witness stand. His examina- tion was wei. under way when court | adjourned last night. It is likely that several days will be required tc complete 1t.
 MT Archbold was late in arriving and his examination was delayed un- til nearly II o'clock MoritZ Rcsen- thai of counsel for the Standard Oil Co, developed from MT Arihhold tes- timony regarding the early market | for oil. At first he said the prise of oil depended upon the jobber and rs- taller. He deshribed the increase in the number of market stations for oil from 130 in the early days to B. 573 in 1906 which he said were es- tablished by the Standard. In the early days, MT Archbold said the job Der and retailer exacted extortionate profits which caused complaint and the Standard tried to get closer tc I faG in hull cars instead of barrels to the mar. keting centers where it was distrjb- uted to the consumer in wagons This method he said not only increas- ed the oil trade but cheapened the cost to the consumer. | MT Archbold was still on the stand this afternoon and his testimony was not completed when adjournment was taken until next Monday.

Napoleon and the Roman Law.


 Napoleon l. had an extraordinary mind. He appeared never to forget anything he cared to remember and assinilated information as the stom- ach assimilates food, retaining only the valuable. An incident will illustrate this remarkable quality of his mind.
 When forming the Code Napoleon he frequently astonished the council of state by the skill with which he H. lustrated any point in discussion by quoting whole passages from memory of the Roman civil law. The council wondered how man whose life had been passed in camp came to know so much about the old Roman laws. FL nally one of them asked him how he acquired his knowledge.
 "When l was a lieutenant" Napo- leon replied, T was unjustly placed un der arrest. My small prison room con tained no furniture except an old chair and cupboard. In the latter was q ponderous volume, which proved to be a digest of the Roman law. You can easily imagine what valuable prize the book was to me. 1t was so bulky and the leaves were so covered with marginal notes in manuscript that had I been confined 100 years need never have been idle. When recovered my liberty. at the end of ten days, l was saturated with Justinian and the de. cisions of the Roman legislation. It was then I acquired my knowledge of the civil law"

THE TROLLEY PATRONS.
People Who Ride on Waterville Line
 Have a Grievance.

People who live in Waterbury and work in Waterville and Oakville are talking of forming an association to fight the trolley company. They claim that the accommodation is wholly inadequate and that when one complains he gets nothing but back answers. Yesterday morning things were lively in the center and for time it looked as though the tilt would end in blows. The motorman refused to allow anybody to stand on the front platform. but as they had no place else to hang on they refused to step down and out. Then some- body higher up was appealed to whc informed the passengers that they would have to get off the front plat form because the state law forbids them to allow passengers to ride there. The passengers refused to leave and the trolleyman insisted that they should and both were about ready to tear into each other when the matter was adjusted by making room for the outward bound folks on the inside. When the car reached Willow street it was bound out Wa tertown way, the motorman opened the door and let as many as could crowd in jump onto the platform and remain there until they reached their destination. When the car reached point where employees of the new rolling mill alight the jam was so great they couldn't get out and they had to engage in another scrap in order to have the car stand long enough to give them time to fight through the crowd and drop off. The passengers are blaming everybody and some go so far as to charge all the public officials and the newspa- pers with cowardice or indifference towards the rights of the people On these public carriers. They want more room and a more satisfactory schedule and they are of the opinion that the mayor and board of alder men have the power to inquire into what this corporation is doing and and have such abuses as exist re- moved as far as such thing is pos siblefi If the state law forbids the presence of passengers on the front platform the people who had to get of yesterday wonder why the law does not apply at Willow street as we'll as in Exchange place, but leav- ing this aside, they state what every body knows to be true, that nobody would care to ride with the motor- man if he could find a seat inside. The whole trouble, they claim, is due to the fact that the company does not put on sufficient number of cars. And as consequence men and women are up in arms and unless something Is done to remove the source of complaint there vii! be trouble before the opening of the kew year, as near as we are on to it

The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-11-03

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt was greatly interest
ed today in reading Mr.. Hearst's ex-
pose of Standard Oil methods of try
ing 10 substitute news associations and
in the report that a ten thousand
dollar a year Standard Oil employee in
Brooklyn is Il of the Bryan electors.
No surprise was expressed at the
White House over either expose, al
though il was said that no such def
mite proof had Y been given to the
public of the Standard OILS methods
and it's alliance with the Democratic
party.
The president remained at his Of
fees all the evening. Ii was freely
admitted that he was i'm readiness to
respond 10 any Democratic attack
that might in the least reflect upon
anything done during his admins
tration. The president, however. X
pressed his belief that any eleventh
hour attack against the administra-
ton of a serious nature would prove
more of a boomerang than anything
else.
