A Serious Fire.

Last Monday forenoon the fire boys
we're called to the two story house at
1923 South Santa re, occupied by
Switchman Win Smith and family.
A fire had started in the garrett.
Mrs. Smith assisted by neighbor
woman, Mrs. E. D, Rhodes, made
heroic efforts to put it out before
calling the department. When the
fire boys reached the house they found
the whole upper part of the house
aolaze and no water pressure. All
they could do was to assist In carry
log out the household effects and
protecting the adjoining house. The
smith house was entirely destroyed
but most of the goods were saved.
The building belonged to Mrs.
Martin living east of the city and
was worth l6 to IS hundred dollars
with Thousand dollars insurance.
Mr., Smith had allowed his Insurance
to run out. II is burning shame
that city OF this size can have nc
protection against fire, notwlthstand

DEATH DOES NOT END ALL
One %Scientist Says the Spirit Leaves
the Body Se~venty-SIx Hours
Afterward.

That death does not end life, and that
II does not end even consciousness. were
two conclusions which the chairman of the
psychology section of the MedIco-Legal So
ciety placed before the members OF that
society at the New York meeting. 1t was
the only scientific speech of the evening.
Discussion Of this speech was cut short,
but not before a member rose to relate that
as a physician he had learned that man
was a spirit, that his body was a mere
dwelling place, to be moved about at will,
and that at death, he had observed. the
spirit left the body s~eventy-six hours after
ward.
The main speaker was Floyd B. Wilson,
LII. d. He remarked that new things might
be intuitionally recognized as truths before
being practically demonstrated. Then he
declared;
scientifically it has been proved that
death does not end life and Individual con

to the complete satisfaction of the most
e~Xacting OF scientific men that those who
have passed through what we call death

that life has been proved to be continuous.

san FRANCISCO. Nov. 27.-They are

are encamped. There the birds are nesting;
where the keen winds snarl and scream
up from the Antartic ice the petrels in
hundreds of thousands b,acken the beaches
and bays. The cold shadow of the hunter
is over the land and the slaughter of the
innocents proceeds apace.
A quaint trade is this bird hunting in
the southern ocean, a trade that dates
back before the advent Of the white man
and before the whalers from old Salem
had reached these stormy shores. Back
into the days when the Maori was lSrd in
the land and his food supply was likely
to be a trifle precarious.

called this petrol a mutton bird is not
recorded In ,ocal history. The bird, scien-
ufically described, is Of the genus Of putin
tPuffinus gTiseuis) and is a common species
on the New Zealand coast. around the
Antartic islands, on Stewart Island and
the southern mainland.

the birds beak and spelling the flesh, and
does not break the skin. Then, with The
birds own bill the skin of the crop is cut
and the oil bag removed and cast away
before it spells the flavor. Each bird is
plucked roughly as It is captured. When
a large number have been obtained they
are carried to camp, where the down is
Einged over a fire.
To cook them in oldea times a tree was
felled, then followed out, and the fat from
the entrails was put into the trough. Hot
stones were thrown into it till the fat
boiled, then the birds were placed in the
trough and kept boiling till cooked.
Flattened out, placed in a bag of lSelp,
covered with their own fat, they are packed
in a roll of bark and are ready for the
market. These bark rolls hold from TWEEN
ty-five to a hundred birds each. The
hunter removed the wings with one cut OF
his obsidian or volcanic glass knife, and
threw them away. Covered as they are
with fat and air tight, they will keep any
time.
After the Maoris have been on the island
for about five weeks, during which time
the slaughter Of the younsters has gone ON
apace, the hunters obtaining a SQUAD from
nearly every burrow. the old birds make
up their minds that their duties are about
ended and prepare to go on the northern
migation. The young birds thus left to
face a cruel world leave their holes through
hunger and roost on the low branches
OF trees, where they fall an easy victim
to a marauding Maori and a torch. The
unfortunate victim just sits and gogies
at his captor with the strange light.

a tale is told Of a party Of bird hunters
who proposed reembarking from an annual
outing one short in number, but the skipper
or the ketch that bore them across the
straits refused to leave without a search.
The lost one, a girl, was found. She
had gone mad and was running about nude
with a dead bird held by the head dang
ling from her mouth.
From these annual hunting parties each
man will return with up 10 seventy pounds
to his credit. The hunters may capture as
many as 400 or 800 a day. yet there is
no visible decrease in next years arriving
The Maori calls these potted
birds "Hau hau." The season lust closed

as compared with 10000 the season before.
