CAN A CHICKEN SWIM?
It's a Serious Question That a Penn
sylvania Court Must Settle.


Can a chicken swim? That isn't a
foolish question, but a perfectly seri-
Gus one that a Pennsylvania court
has got to decide. One man went to
a magistrate and made affidavit to the
effect that his neighbours chickens
were raiding and running his straw
berry patch. The properties of the
neighbors are divided by a stream
averaging fifteen feet. The owner
of the chickens showed that the wings
of all of them had been clipped, so
they couldn't possibly fly fifteen feet
The only way for them to get across
the stream, therefore, was by swim
ming. The magistrate heard elab-
crate arguments on the ability of
chickens to swim, and reserved his
decision. When he has settled this
problem he may be called on to say
whether a dog can climb tree and
if it is possible for a COW to jump
over the moon.

Before the Lowells and chickering's
shall have learned the story of Mars
there may be epics written on the
Trojan war waged in drop of blood,
says a writer in Technical World.
All sorts of fantastic speculations
are permissible after the amazing
experiments with the ultra-micro-
scope and the cinematograph lately
brought to successful issue by Dr.
Jean COmandon and his associates
of Paris. DR.. Comandon photo
graphs and reproduces a scene in a
blood vessel or speck of decaying
tissue just as the Snowman photo
graphs and reprOduces a dog fight,
comical domestic quarrel, a ship
wreck or the fight of an aerOpIane.
The imagination can find nothing in
the daily life of human beings more
thrilling and wonderful than some
of the scenes presented to the silent
and awe-struck spectators of the per-
Torrance at the house of Mason
Brothers. They saw on the screen,
in that room all darkened and hung
with black draperies to heighten the
effect, first an animated scene en-
acted in the delicate network of the
capillaries, or tiny blood vessels, in
the foot of a frog. Innumerable red
giobules struggled with one another
like a frightened crowd of people
trying each to be the first to escape
from something through a narrow
passage. The white globules, those
carnivorous animals of the little

glObules enveloped them and de-
vOured them. Everything was in
motion; the tiny creatures lived,
struggled, fought; it was the old
story of all life on this planet-the
strong driving, expressing, devouring
the weak; eternal and pitiless battle
for existence. And it left a curious
feeling III the hearts of the spec

limit of the Pastors


Limit of the Pastors.
ASHEVILLE, N. C.-The hopes
of the women of the M. E. church
south received a crushing blow today
when the majority report of the
committee on revisals non-concurred
in the several hundred petitions,
memorials and resolutions asking
laymen's rights in the conference.
Two minority reports also were pre-
sented by the committee.
The women in attendance on the
conference who have worked faith
fully for the passage of the measure,
while they still hope the conference
will vote in their favor, declare them
selves willing to abide by the action
of the conference.
Another important question was
settled today when after prolonged
debate the conference voted against
extending the time that pastors can
remain at one charge. The debate
followed the report of the committee
on itineracy, the majority of which
concurred in the memorial petition
ing that on the unanimous vote of
the presiding elders a preacher may
be allowed to keep charge longer
than the prescribed four years.
A report of the committee on
church relations recommended the
adoption of the recommendation
contained in the report of the COM
mission on federation between the
northern and southern churches.
This commission recommended the
creation of a federal council COM
posed of Is members, to be divided
equally between the two churches,
six to be bishops, six travelling
preachers and six laymen. This re-
port was adopted.

! New York, Dec. 10.-The inception
of a new period in the worlds pro-
gress in music, marking further adj
vance in the westward course of art
from European centers to the United
States took place tonight when "The
Girl of the Golden West" all opera by
Giacomo Puccini, the Italian composer,
based on the American drama BY
David BalascO, was presented at the
Metropolitan opera house
For the first time in the history an
internationally famous composer has
chosen this country to bring out the
premiere of operate work, and judged
by expressions of musical critics who
came from abroad and cabled their
reviews tonight for late editions in
Europe and by what musical writer's
of this and other cities, declare "The
Girl of the Golden West" or "Lafan
ciulla De West,' is a work of rare
success.
Puccini and Belasco shared alike in
the plaudits and curtain calls. Spec
ulators outside the Metropolitan to-
night named their own prices for
seats that had come into their hands.
Though prices were doubled the de-
mand ran away with the supply and
two chairs in the dress circle are
said to have sold on Broadway for
$500 just before the curtain rose.
Scores were turned away from the
doors, though many had stood in line
since the early afternoon in hopes
of standing room.
Puccini virtually selected the cast
but to Belasco fell the task of de-
veloping the stage business and in fact
every movement of the principals,
even to minor by-plays.
Nine. Emmy Destinn sang the So
prano part of Minnie, the girl; Enrico
Caruso was Johnson her lover, while
Sheriff Jack Rance fell to Amato, the
baritone, and Dina Gilly was Sonora.
All the cast seemed to breathe free,
venturesome spirit of early days in
the Sierras

MAKES A HIT With HER
MISS BELLE GORDON is AN AR
DENT DEVOTEE or BAG
PUNCHING.
Says Woman Should Not Oabbe in
PoIitics-Oh, No! But They Should
Get Punching Bag For Exercise.

Miss Belle Gordon OF the team Of
Gordan and Barber which makes its
last appearance of the present en-
gagement at the Grand theater today
has made an especial study of ath-
letics for women. Miss Gordon. it may
be said knows what she is talking
ercise is preached as she has held
the worlds gold medal for bag punch
ing for fourteen years. She has solid
gold medal given by the Richard X.
Fox Publishing company. with re-qual-
ification bars for each of the four
teen years. Naturally Miss Gordon
prizes this very highly and for that
reason she does not place it on ex-
hibitiOn as she is fearful of losing
ut.
Miss Gordon took up bag punching
for exercise when she was a young
girl in the hopes of developing from
a fral child into hea by one. That
her efforts have not been in vain are
plainly seen when one considers that
at the time she started to take the
exercise she weighed only ninety
pounds, and now she boasts of 143
pounds
A person might think that Miss Cor
don was very much up in years mas
much as she has held the world
championship for fourteen years, but
when one learns that she was only
sixteen years of age when she first
won the coveted medal. it is obvious
that she is far from being old, and
in fact she does not even look to be
thirty years of age, either on or off
the stage.
Miss Gordon has studied the art of
bag punching until she has made a
science of her exercise She has studi-
ed for years to make this strenuous
exercise graceful and artistic so that
it would take well on the vaudeville
stage. That she has succeeded is evil
dent from the hearty applause which
has greeted each of her performances
in the city.
When seen by a Tribune reporter
last evening, Miss Gordon who, by
the way, is a very charming person
age to meet off the stage, said
Il think that bag pun ching is the
very best form of universal exercise
there is. for either sex. Especially for
children, it is more interesting, and
less harmful than any other kind of
physical exercise.
While l like bag punching. I do
not approve of boxing for ladies as it
is too masculine. Nor do ! approve of
ladies mixing up in polit les. l would
not vote if women had the franchise
ten thousand times over The polls are
no place for a lady The best tribute
that a woman can pay in politics is
to raise her sons properly so that
they will cast their vote honorably
and cannot be corrupted"
What do you think of North Da-
kota?" was asked Miss Gordon laugh
ed.
IF you could see the way I have
been eating out in this country you
would know. think North Dakota is
fine, and I am simply in love with it's
climate"
