OWL 600 MILES FROM LAND.
Bird Tried to Alight on Vessel Way
Out at Sea.

The chief officer of the R. M. S..
Hesperion, an Allan liner, bound
from Montreal to Glasgow, when four
and half days out, in latitude 54.37
north and 42.34 west, saw strange
bird alight, or try to do so, on the
mainmast. 1t flew from there to the
stern of the ship and lit on the flag
pole, and from there to the forecastle
starboard lifeboat, from which it was
captured by the steward. The bird is
rarity, being an Arctic or snow
owl, and was caught 600 miles from
nearest land. 1t is a magnificent
white bird, with the exception of the
wings, which are dotted with brown
spots. 1t was remarkable, being a
land bird, that it should be so far
from it's own realms, but no doubt it
was owing to some severe wind storm
which had driven it to sea.

PECULIAR WAY TO MAKE MONEY
New York Woman Has Made a Bust
ness of Getting Hurt.

There are lots of ways of making
money in New York. One woman s
peculiar way is to get hurt by the
street and steam cars and have the
corporation compromise with her
without going to court. IN four years
she has had sixteen accidents" and
collected more than $4,000. The
other day she had another fall, " and
told the company she would consider
a settlement; but the company re-
membered that only few months
ago it had settled with her for a
similar accident" so it declined to
pay, and had her arrested.

AN OYSTER DECISION.
Floating of Oysters Will Be Per-
mitted BY Government.

In decision issued by the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington
it was announced that the floating
OF oysters would be permitted by the
department if the water in which the
floating was done was of the same
saline contents as the water in which
the oysters we're grown.
The department ruled that if oys-
tiers for interstate shipment are given
a drink of fresh water they must be
marked on the container "Aoated
oysters" If they are fioated in water
that is polluted they will be consid-
cred adulterated.

THE Log Cabin Democrat is devot-
ing considerable space to the advocacy
of Amendment No. 10. In doing this
it is preaching just as sound Demo-
cratic doctrine as if it were urging the
election of the party nominees. There
is not the slightest chance of the Dem
ocratic ticket being defeated. On
the other hand, the initiative and ref
erendum amendment was strongly en-
dorsed by the state Democratic con-
vention in it's platform, yet it is be-
ing fought even by some whom the
party has honored with nomination
and election to state Offices.

by the fact that the opposition has

unmistakable evidence that the
