Sound Waves and the Way They Act Upon the Ears.

Sound Waves and the Way They Act Upon the Ears. The deteetions of the direction of "a sound by the sense Of hearing IS, like the rapid focusing of the eye on ob- jects at different distances, one of those instinctive operations which are continually done without any conscious smethod.

Tale ef Two Fish.

A story is related of a Manchester fisherman who once tried to lure the dainty trout from some of the nearby brooks. The fisherman did not get a bite in the brooks He drove back to Manchester rather disheartened and went to a restaurant to get something to eat. He asked the restaurant keep CT if he had any trout and received an affirmative reply He ordered some sOk the trout for his supper and then told the proprietor that he might put two or three of the uncooked fish in his fish basket out at the door. as he didn't care to go home and receive the railIery of his friends. The proprietor of the restaurant told one of the clerks to carly sout the order, and it was sup posed to have been done faithfully.
 But the clerk was not very alert. and when the fiesherman got home and opened bpx the fish basket to his astonished wife there reposed two fine salt mackereI and the fisherman hes not got through explaining yet.-Man- chester Union. rs.

Wind and Temper.

There is a closer connection between wind and temper than at first sight ap- pears. A coldish wind has a bracing effect and. on the whole, Is beneficial. In countries where hot winds occur periodically, on the other hand, these are regarded as nuisance, if not Q curse. Every one almost gets cross. weary and done sups and has q head ache daily. In Egypt the season when crimes are commonest is when the hot khamseen blows. E Nearly always dur ing severe siroecos the Arabs in Al geria were restlea, if theg did not at- tempt an actual rising. The solano, which now and then rushes across the Mediterranean in fiery blasts from Africa, upsets every one in Spain and is the worst wind in that country. And even in the Pearl or the An titles the fierce hot wind is such a pest that it is recorded of a family living in Havana that they made 1t a rule in the household to preserve ab- solute silence until the wind disap- peared. It was the only plan they could think of to avoid family quar- relS.

TWO INDIANS SWEAR
 TO FORMAL COMPLAINT
Charging Three Others With Having
 Stolen Horses and Saddles.

William Histoe and Enos Miguel two Indians from the Lehi agency, appeared before Justice Irwin yester- day and swore to complaint charg- ing Henry Enos. Miguel, and William Tempe, three other Indians, with hay ing stolen their horses and saddles and with departing with the same. So far as is known the Indians are still departing, although the sheriffs of flee at Phoenix and Marshal Peterson at Mesa are endeavoring to the best of their ability to locate the fugitives.
 The complaints state that the sad dles, bridles and spurs were missing more than a week ago, but there was nothing at that time to indicate the identity of the thief or thieves. The paraphernalia was simply gone and could not be traced.
 Last Saturday the horses were talk en and with them went the equipment heretofore hidden. Went also the three Indians of burglarious tenden- cies. The news of their departure was telephoned to Mesa on Monday by F. E. Palmer, Indian agent at Lehi. He said they had apparently crossed the Salt River reservation and were on their way to Gila Bend with the os- tensible purpose of selling their plum der and going thence by train into California. Marshal Peterson in turn telephoned the facts to the sheriffs office in Phoenix. and since then strenuous efforts have been made to capture the fugitives.
 Henry Enos is a half-breed, Miguel a tall thin Pima. and William Tempe a recently released ex-convict They took with them two horses belonging to Enos and Miguel and two others be- longing to William Histoe and Charles Ferguson. The horses are valued at $50 apiece. and the saddles, brides, and spurs $95.

NOTE TAKING CEASED

After That Dire Moment He Merely
 Scrubbed Figures on the Paper.

Incidents relative to the trial of James Daley and the stratagem of the authorities when Miss Beebe was brought down from Roosevelt. all hitherto unrelated, have come to light and give additional interest to the case. One of them concerns Daley as he sat between his attorney and Sher- if Hayden at the preliminary exam ination Monday afternoon.
 At the beginning of the hearing he appeared self confident and wholly at case, secure in the belief, apparently, that the girl would stand by him as she had done before. eXonerating him completely and giving his character an immunity bath." SO to speak. Dur ing Dr. Nelson's not very damaging testimony he took notes industriously and a satisfied smile continually how cred around the corners of his mouth.
 The shadow of a smile remained and the notes continued to increase in volume during the first common place questions asked Miss Beebe when she took the stand But when the commonplace questions ceased, when admissions of the most con demning character were uttered by

 of complacency vanished. The note
 taking also ended abruptly, although
 Daley still continued to write ner-

 saw that all he wrote from then on
 was just this: "I. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ', 8,
 9, 10: 1, 2, 3, 4, ,. 6, ', s, g, TO-" After the hearing was concluded he seemed mentally benumbed for a time.
 Later a portion of his former buoy ancy returned; but when at the sta
 tion about to be taken back to the county jail at Phoenix he was talking with the other men of the Daley fam fly, his father and two brothers, Jean
 and Ross Daley. there were positive dark shadows about his mouth and
 eyes. His lips were blue and his face was drawn with lines of worry. He was no longer the jaunty Jim Daley; he was James Daley. a prisoner with a low criminal charge upon him. fac ing the prospect of'going before Judge Kent.
 How was the confession wrung from

SMALL PLACE SELLS
 AT A GOOD FIGURE
William Pierce of ,Yavapai Buys the
 G. Cave Place at $35o Per Acre.

The sale of the G. Cave place yes terday illustrates nicely the remark able increase in the value of small tracts of land. This place consists of five acres, three miles and a half from town. It is fairly well improved and brought the neat figure of s350 per acre The purchaser is William Pierce of Yavapai county and the deal was made through the agency of Andrew Nielsen.
 This price did not include any of the stock on the place or any of the furniture in the house. and though the price is regarded as a good one. MT. Pierce has no reason to feel that he paid more than it was worth. The time is not far distant when places of that kind will bring even more money. Mir. Pierce expects to bring his family here in a short time and make his home here. He will make some substantial improvements and will become a permanent resident of the valley. The Caves will move to town
