Boomerang Skill.

Imagine hurting a bent stick away
from you with all your strength and
having it return to the very spot
where you are standing. That is what
skilled boomerang thrower can do.
More than this, he may throw the
stick so that it will actually fall far
behind him although hurled directly in
front. The skill of the little brown
bushmen, of which we have read so
much, is not exaggerated in the least,
for the boomerang welded by an ex-
pert is a thing of magic. 1t will soar
through the air like a bird-now high
up, now just skimming the surface Of
the ground. turning in circles. finally
falling just where it has been aimed to
fall.-St Nicholas.

Finger Prints Never Fail.

Although scars from wounds and ul-
GERS frequently partly destroy the pat
tern folds, such Disbursements are
more often than otherwise aids to
identification. When the system of
finger prints was first introduced at
police headquarters in New York a
lieutenant in one of the adnlinistra-
tive departments tried to discredit it,
He had an experimental print made
of the tip of a finger and a short time
afterward asked to have the same
finger reprinted. He had meantime
ground down the skin of this finger
on a grindstone until the blood almost
flowed. Nevertheless the pattern form
was more accurately disclosed in the
second printing than in the first Once
the record has been made nothing has
yet been discovered to inyalidate it,

The Mole.

The most courageous of all living
things is, by common consent of nat.
uralistS, the mole. Seemingly with
out any sense Of fear whatever, the
mole will fight anything that crosses
it's path. 1t never raises the white
flag. Neither giving nor asking quar-
ter, it tears away at its adversary un-
til it kills 1t or is itself killed. The
mole's appetite is in keeping with its
courage, and it thinks nothing of eat
ing it's own weight. In appetite the
spider is a close second to the mole,
but when it comes to fighting the
mole carries the palm.
The Wasp.
1t is said that the male wasp does
not sting, but as the male and female
wasps wear the same kind of polo
naise and look as much alike as twins
the only way to distinguish their sex
is to catch one. If it stings it is a
female: if not, 1t is gentleman wasp.

GOVERNORS RIGHT
IS QUESTIONED
Educational Institutions object 70
HaskelPs Action in Cutting
Appropriations.

Guthrie. Okla, Mar 3l.-Steps will
be taken IN the immediate future on
behalf OF some of the educational In
stitutions whose appropriations were
sashed by Governor e. NJ Haskell to
test the governors right TO reduce in
diyldual items in an appropriation bill
The constitution gives him the right
to veto items in an appropriation bill,
but says nothing in regard TO his
changing the amounts appropriated
for specific purposes by the legisla.
ture.
This action was taken by the GOV
ernor on the advice Of Attorney Gen
eral Charles j West who said that It
was done in Pennsylvania where there
was a similar constitutional provision
and that It was al right here
Many other lawyers, however, who
have been consulted IN regard 70 the
matters by representatives, Of boards
or institutions whose appropriations
nave been cut IN that way, take an
ferent view and declare that the right
TO veto an item does not include the
right to change ts amount They as
sert that il the governor has the right
10 lower items In an appropriation bill
he would also have the right 20 raise
them. which no one would maintain to
be the law.
Their contention ls that the goyer-
lnor must either approve or reject the
various items and has no more fiEh'
TO change them than he would have
TO change the language in any Other
law.
The educational institutions suffered
the most from lhs class OF cutting The
