ISLANDER RESCUED FROM
DEATH PROVED MIGRATE
Fools Benefactor With Tale of
CurioS

The liner Mariposa, which arrived
yesterday from the south seas, brings
a story Of the gallant rescue of an in
toxicated Gilbert islander by a Cana
dian curio collector and a tale of the
black mans ingratitude. F. Burnett
was the collector. With his wife and
son he left Vancouver in a 10 ton
schooner in which they cruised the
south seas for seven months in search
of curios
Toward the end of their cruise they
spied a small boat which, upon being
overhauled, was found to contain a
pile of cocoanuts and an intoxicated
native. He was without oars or sail
and at the mercy of the wind and
waves, far out of sight of land. He
was drunk and expressed his joy thereat
in maudlin song. He permitted him
self TO be taken aboard the schooner
and after sleeping off his jag told Bur-
nett where he lived. He also told him
that he had many rare curios. of which
his savior and benefactor could take
his choice II he would only land him
on his island, one of the Gilbert group.
When he reached his home the islander
laughed at Burnett and said he had
no curios
Burnett never saw the black migrate
again. He sailed the next day for Ia
hiti, where he sold the schooner.

Bv PROF. JOHN ]. MONTGOMERY

consider the flights of Louis
Paulhan at Tanforan track Mon
day and yesterday under unfavor
able climatic conditions one of the
best demonstrations that has ever
been given of the possibilities in
aerial navigation. To appreciate
the significance of these flights you
must understand the exacting re-
quirements in the starting, control
of machine in flight and the landing.
The conditions in the present in
stances were about as unfavorable
as could be imagined.
The ground from which he start
ed was uneven and muddy. The
space was limited and had many
dangerous distractions and sur
rounding lines of high houses and
trees. which made his rise rapid
and abrupt to escape them. But
far above these distractions were
the unfavorable and dangerous con-
ditions of the weather. There were
strong upper currents and deep
waves of air that made it almost
impossible TO fly. Paulhan knew
this and many times during the
afternoon he came to me and shook
his head. as if to say, Il am doubt
full of being able to fly on account
of the strong upper currents"
Added to these elements of dan
ger were the whirls and disturb
ances produced in the wind in its
passage over the surrounding hills.
That Paulhan braved these known
dangers speaks well for his cour-
age and heroism. That he mastered
them and the various other diff
culties speaks we'll of his skill as
an aviator and the excellence of his
machine.
The people of San Francisco dur
ing these two days have seen per-
formances in aerial navigation that
have never been equaled. The diff
fculties and dangers which con-
fronted him while in the higher air

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Alarmed by
the critical turn in the tariff contro-
versy between the United States and

eral cities were made to the national
board of trade in session here urging
that body to recommend that the state

that American beef and cattle must be
admitted to Germany
Resolutions presented to the national
body maintain there can be no advant-
age In insisting on a German market
for American beef because the home
consumption is increasing at such a
rate as soon to command all the supply.
Many delegates bringing from their
home cities demands for an inYestiga-
ton into the high cost of living have
made that subject foremost. The ma
tional body today decided to appoint a
special committee of five men to deter
mine the reasons for present prices

of the sentiment of business interests
will be given in the form of resolutions
regarding legislation.
