Tho sest Kitefsier In Town.

Some years ago there died in Ne
srsska man named Walsh. who. as
a boy, started q suspension b-idSe.
When Walsh was about ten years old
the first steps tor the construction OF
the suspension bridge at Niagara were
taken. The arst thing necessary was
the stretching Of single wire across
the chasm. The engineer IN charge
had thought of Q way to.gee It across.
What boy Is the best kitefier IN
town" be asked
The Walsh boy was named as the
best ktteaier IN the town OF Niagara
Falls, and the engineer accordingly
asked that he be brought to him BE
was made to understand that he must
cy his kite across the Niagara r:rer.
BE few it across and allowed 1t to
come down on the other side Men
were there to seize it- Ghec the en-
gineer attached q wire to the string
on his SIDE. and the men o2 the other
side detached the kite and by means
Of the string drew the wire across. By
this, in turn. cable was draw across.
and the bridge was well bcsrn.-Ha.-

rhe Record Of Raindrops.

1t IS by carefully notin: small and
apparently Insignificant .hinsS and
facts tha. men Of science are enabled
to reach some Of their most surprising
and interesting conclusions. In many
places the surface Of rocks which NIL
lions OF years ago must have formed
sandy or muddy seabeaches. is found
to be pstted with the impressions OF
raindrops. In England It has been
noticed that in many cases the eastern
sides Of these depressions are the more
deeply pitted, indicating that the rain
drops which formed them were driven
before a west wind. From this the
conclusion IS drawn that in the remote
epoch when tie pits were formed the
majority Of the storms in England
came from the west. Just as they do
today.-Ha.per's Weekly.

Aged Physician to be Tried
For Alleged Murder Attempt

ed that the explosion had undoubtedly
been caused by a stick of dynamite.
The perpetrator of the outrage, how
ever. had made poor calculation In
placing the explosive. The lives OF
the intended victims were spared,
though it was many weeks before the
woman recovered from the shock.
Miss Lu Eta Smith. the intended
victim, was a student at the univers-
ity of California when she met DR..
Burke. Later she went to live at the
sanitarium where her child was born,
The child was named Willard p.
Burke Smith.
The investigation of the authorities
following the explosion led to the ar
rest of DR.. Burke and his indictment
on the charge of attempted murder.
The officers claim to have discovered
that a few days before the explosion
DIR. Burke obtained quantity of dy-
Mantle and took it with him on his
return to Santa Rosa from a visit to
the Phoenix mine near Oroville, which
he owns.
One of the peculiar features of the
case was the disappearance of Miss
Smith when the date set for DR..
Burke's trial approached and her sub
| sequent return. Sometime after the
dynamiting episode the woman left
| this vicinity and went to Berkeley
Subsequently she left Berkeley and
was next located in Japan. According
to report she was given a sum OF
| money sufficient to take her and her
| child to Japan and was promised reg
ular remittances SO long as she re
mained there. But 1t is said that the
promised remittances failed to mate
rialize and the result was that with
| the generosity of some Americans
whom she met in Toxic she was en-
abled to return to California. How
| ever this may be it is certain that she
| placed herself in communication with
the authorities here and is now in
readiness to appear as the principal
| witness for the prosecution when the
case Of DIR. Burke comes up for trial
next month. .'...
Struggling to the end with all the
resources of man possessed OF
wealth and unusual cunning the aged
physician now realizes that he must
stand trial on the serious accusation
made against him. Failing to obtain
further delay in the trial he is now
engaged in preparing a defense to the
charges against him. His attorneys
are Hiram w. Johnson, the republi
can candidate for governor of Cali

TO house the present machine and pos
sibly others to be acquired for expert
menting purposes later. The signal

chine would be foolhardy because OF
