PARROTS ABILITY TO
TALK DUE TO TONGUE

The indefatigable German natural
lists have been gathering fresh data
touching the mechanism of birds
tongues. 1t is a notion popularity en-
tertained that woodpeckers employ
their sharp-pointed tongues as darts
with which to transfix their prey. The
Germans contend that while 1t is true
that the woodpecker like the llumming
bird, can dart out its tongue with ex-
traordinary rapidity, and that its
mouth is furnished with an elaborate
mechanism 4 for this purpose, in
vestigation clearly shows that the
object of this swift motion is only to
catch the prey, not to pierce 1t. For
the purpose of holding the captured
victim, the woodpecker's tongue is
furnished with sticky secretion. a
1t is not surprising to learn, con-
sidering the parrots ability to initiate
human speech, that the tongue OF that
bird resembles that Of man more
closely than any other birds tongue
1t is not because the parrot possesses
more intelligence than other birds but
because its tongue is better suited for
articulation than theirs that it is able
to amuse us with its mimicry.
The German Investigations disclose
the fact that the humming birds
tongue is, in some respects, the most
remarkable of all. It is double nearly
from end to end, so that the bird Is
able to grasp its insect prey with its
tongue. very much as If its mouth
were furnished with pair of fingers.

The Seals and Beavers parted with
the honors evenly divided yesterday.
After tearing off the only run in the
morning game across the pond, san
Francisco tossers came over to their
own lot and before one of the largest
crowds which ever saw them play, fell
down and allowed the Beavers to take
it away, to l. They would have done
better had they been playing their
game but they did not show their form
and that's the answer.
Portland rode along easily enough
for eight innings and it looked like

a doubt. Then at the eleventh hour,
the Seals sent Mr.. Knapp on an aerial

were shouting and yelling and jumping
around when the Seals awakened from

two men down. through a piece OF bad

1t was Pape's second win OF the

Graham Allows the
Protest Of Beavers

President Graham yesterday
threw out last Wednesday after
noon's game, which was won by
San Francisco, and ordered it
played over.
In this game Umpire Jimmy
Tonan, who was working the
bases, apparently changed his de-
cision at second on a forced play.
The truth of the matter is that
Toman did not see the play. Nc
Credie promptly registered his
protest.
Graham came to the conclusion
that Toman did change his ruling
and he therefore allows Nc
Credie's protest on this ground.
AS a matter of fact, the man was
out, and had Toman been watch
ing the play, as he should have,
there would be no protest and the
game would have gone to San
Francisco.
