A Deep THINKER
GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVER-
sITY PROFESSOR FINDS
QUEER RESULTS.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 16.-After
several months observation of eleven
East Indian monkeys the scientists of
George Washington university have
come to certain conclusions regarding
the mental capabilities of the Simian.
The idea Of Professor w. T. Snep-
herd, who has been conducting the
experiments, is to train monkeys care
fully for several months and then to
leave them to their own devices. After
a time these monkeys will be killed
and their brains compared with those
of monkeys not trained at all and of
monkeys killed at the height Of their
mental development. Professor Shep-
herd, who will prepare treatise on
Simian psychology, said
while the experiments have shown
that the mone- is superior to a hui
man being, so far as the lower animal
faculties are concerned, / hesitate to
believe that the little animals ever will
be able to approach the high standard
of mentality of man, such as exercising
Judgment and reason.
II placed a stick In piece OF meat
and put IT within q few inches OF a
cage in which a monkey reposed. The
animal could not reach meat, but the
little fellow grasped the stick and then
hauled the Leaf into his cage. The
same experiment was worked on a cat
and a dog, but each OF these animals
failed to see the usefulness OF the
stick, although they reached and claw
ed for the meat"
Professor Shepherd believes in the
Darwinian theory.

REMUNERATION ON A FLAT
BASIS.

Holding that the salary of 500 a
month now paid Fargo's city engineer
was entirely inadequate for the SER
vices rendered in return, and desiring
to have the remuneration of that Off
Ger put on fiat basis in keeping with
the position, Alderman Tibert last eve-
ing fathered a resolution calling for the
appointment of a committee to look
into the matter and report at the first
meeting of the city council in January.
Mr.. Tibert called attention to the
fact that the present engineer was
forced to take work outside of the city.
He favors paying a salary in return for
which the city can receive the entire
attention of the engineer The COM
mittee will ascertain the amount of fees
received by the office for special i'm
provement work. In concluding Mr..
Tibert said:
Il want 1t distinctly understood
that this resolution is not in any way
a reflection on Engineer Crabbe, who is
friend Of mine and whose friendship
desire to retain. 1t is for the purpose
of fixing salary in keeping with the
Office that we may demand the undivid-
ed time of the official. / do not favor a
change in the office. In all events /

Realty Transfers Watched.
According to the information which
Chief Steward has obtained, members
of the gang mark their intended victims
through the medium of real estate
transfers. The blackmailers keep a
daily record of purchases of property
by Italians. AS soon as they discover
man who has paid several thousand
dollars for property, they send him a
letter threatening injury or death to
him or members of his family unless
he pays a stipulated sunni to the gang.
Once a man becomes enmeshed in the
plot he Is forced again and again to
pay tribute.
Although the police refuse to divulge
their plan of action to break up the
gang, 1t is said that the chief contem-
plates securing the services Of several

In this connec lion three arrests of
