TRACING A SWALLOWS COURSE.
Hatehed in Spain, But Makes Its
First Nest in Switzerland.

Some interesting facts about the
swallow have been given by M.
Fischer Sigwart before the Swiss So.
ciety of Natural Sciences. In May,
1908, swallow was captured in the
canton of Lucerne, which bore on its
neck little tube in which was a note
written in Spanish.
l Inquiries were made and 1t was
found that this swallow had sojourned
in 1907 at Vilabertran, in the province
of Barcelona, near the house of peas
ant who had attached the note on
August 25 Of that year.
This same swallow nested in the
canton of Lucerne in 1908.
|, The peasant of Vilabertran believed
that he had attached the tube to one
of the old birds, but it was in reality
one of the young that he had cap.
tured
\ This confirms the opinion of M,
Fischer Sigwart that adults always re.
turn to nest in the same place where
they made their first nest but that
young do not return to the place
where they first saw the light, but
choose other localities to make their
nests.
This swallow then was halched and
was captured the first time in Spain
and in autumn migrated to Africa. In
the spring of 1908 it returned to Eu.
rope. Possibly it went to Spain first,
for it did not reach Switzerland until
May, but it was in Switzerland that
it built its nest, not in Spain, and
without doubt, if it lives i will re
turn to Switzerland this spring of 1909.

Passing Away
CHAs. A DIXON.

"Passing away" is written on the
world and all that the world con-
tains. Chance is the order of all
things terrestrial. Vicissitude
governs human life. All nature is
controlled by this great law. The
''eternal" hills are changing, and by
the sure process of disintegration
are passing away; the deep sea is
slowly filling up, and scientists tell
us that even the sun is decreasing
in diameter at the rate of nine
inches per day, shrinking five feet
per week, one mile in twenty years.
Mutability is stamped on all sublu-
nary things. Look at the fate of
the summer flowers; though in full
bloom at daybreak, yet ere evensong
they droop and fade. The sweetest
songbird must. in brief space of
time, cease its singing. The giant
oak of the forest must at last totter
and fall. All things in this fair
world must decay.
The individual changes. We

TOUCHED HEART OF MATADoR,
Professional Bull Fighter Seen in Un.
expectedIy Gentle Light.

There is no description of a bull
fight in Mrs. Maud Howe Elliott's book
Sun and Shadow in Spain" but there
is a record of a meeting with a mata.
dor in the studio of the court painter,
Don Jose Villegas, and the ensuing
conversation, part of which revealed
the bull fighter in an Unexpectedly
gentle light. 1t also makes plain the
fundamental reason why Americans
object to bull fights.
How many bulls have you killed."
some one asked of the matador.
In 25 years | have killed $500
bulls"
Were you ever afraid?"
81 have been afraid many, many
times. On those occasions | put my
trust in my legs and ran as fast as
could.
"The bull, however is the noblest OF
animals and the bravest. He never
makes a cowardly attack from behind
he is so frank. He is terrible, though; ;
man needs nerve to face him when
he comes into the ring paving the
earth and believing"
"Will you tell us about the bull that
was the hardest of all to kill?"
The matador's face changed.
HE was a white bull" he said, slow,
| ly, "and he didn't want to fight. He
followed me about like little dog
led him with the cloak wherever ]
wanted to go. Yes, that was the hard
est bull of all to kill."-Youth's Com

Barrel Organ in Church.

A curiosity in church organs is now
in use at Brightling (Eng) church.
1t is a barrel organ which has been in
use there since the early part Of the
eighteenth century, possessing an ex.
ceptionally good tone, declared equal
if not superior to the average pipe or,
gan, which it closely resembles from
the point of view of the congregation
Considerable skill is required to
play it, for it has six stops, which
have to be manipulated with the left
hand, while the right is turning the
handle and the wind is being pumped
in with the left foot.
There are two rolls of music, each
containing IL tunes, comprising Easter
hymns and selections suitable for vol

Japanese View of Duty.

DR.. Sven Hedin, the explorer, writes
thus from Japan: "A fact that has
often struck me is how little the Jap
anese think of the men who, quite re-
Gently, have written the history of
the world with the point of their
swords or the fire from their cannon.
A month ago when we visited the
Shin temple raised to the memory of
the hero KusunOki in Kobe many of
my friends said that when Admiral
Togo dies such a temple is sure to be
raised to him. But if, on the other
hand, one expresses ones profound
admiration of such men, hardly any
one agrees, and for the reason that
they consider that these men have
only done their duty, that the fulfill
ment of duty is the most natural
thing in the world and not worth
wasting words over"

ourselves are not as we were. The
fancies of our youth and the dreams
of other days are gone Those we
love are not where they were; in
far too many cases their places are
empty, and the familier faces be-
come fewer, and all is changed.
The old order in all things passeth
away, and the unaccustomed new
cometh in its place. GAS we jour
ney on through life we leave many
things behind us. We can never
go back again over the years that
are past. We never go over any
life path second time. We never
pass second time through precise
ly the same experience. We have
infancy once, childhood once, youth
once, manhood and womanhood
once, old age once, and we die once.
We are forever leaving things,
places, conditions and experiences
behind u.s."
However important our lifework
may be, by this same law of change
we are gradually slipping away from
it. The morning of life is sue
ceeded by the afternoon, and the
afternoon by the evening, and when
evening comes we must lay down
our work, and leave much unfnish
ed which we had fondly hoped to
complete, However indispensable
a great preacher, brilliant writer,
or master musician may seem to
be, this world cannot retain them.
Earth's sweetest singer must lose
her enhancing vocal powers, the
hand of the true-born artist must
lose its cunning, the most gigantic
intellect grow weary, and fually
rest in death. This transltory world
of ours could not retain its Homer,
Dante and Shakespeare; its Angus
tine, Luther and Wesley; its Han
del, Mendelssohn and Mozart; its
Tintoretto, Raphael and Turner.
These great men are gone, and all
the great ones in the world to-day
are just as surely going.
Ideas change, thoughts feelings
change, our friends change. The
friends of our youth are gone, or
have passed out of our circle
Those who vowed eternal friend
ship, it may be, can now pass us
by and greet us not. The expert
ences of an earlier time are not the
experiences of to day. However
much we may long for the return of
youthful thrills of happiness, they
come not to US. Time has carried
us on and on, and inevitably we
have left much behind.
When for vanished days we yearn.
Days which never can return.

Peculiar ouake-PrOOf Building.

The earthquake-proof building OF
Prof. Boermel rests in a massive bowl,
and has a rocking foundation with a
curved surface of somewhat less ra
dius than that Of the bowl. A half
spherical pivot fits into a cup-bearing
at the center. At eight points near
the outside of the bowl are spring
buffers, which keep the house or other
building from being canted too freely
and lessen the force of any shock
transmitted. The structure on this
foundation is to have a light steel
framework, and is expected to resist
the severest earthquakes.

To The Voters.
Ravendeu Springs. Ark,

JANUARY L, l'AN
Friends and Fellow Citizens:
In 1908, as you will remember, |
was candidate in the primary elec-
tion for the nomination to the office
of County rnd Probate Clerk, the
position which Mr.. Armstrong now
fills, and in card of thanks ad-
dressed to the voters and published
in tn, Star Herald in the first issue
after the primary election in March,
1908, | stated that / was still can
didate for the same Office in the next
election. However, that was antic-
ipatiDg the future to make an an
uouncement so far ahead, and some
might think that l had changed my
mind if | waited too long to men-
tion it again.
SO in this issue of the Star Herald
make my formal announcement as
a candidate for the office of County
and Probate Clerk of Randolph
county, subject to the action of the
democratic party at the September
election in 1910, as we will have no
primaries for the county officers
this time.
Now friends and fellow citizens,
IN making this announcement l do
it solely on my own solicitation
and not at the solicitation of my
friends, though | have quite num-
Der of as good friends, as anybody
has, who, | know, will give me
their support, and many of whom
have told me that they would like
to see me enter the race again and
hoped to see me win. But the point
] want to make is this, that | am
making the race for this office for
the money there is in it, as we'll as
the honor, and not because my
friends want me to run, nor because
! think that l am the only man in
the county who is competent to fill
the position. | surely need the
money there is in the office or |
would not be in the race, neither
would any other man. But the
county should not become a
charitable institution; and | do uot
ask any man to vote for me because
you think | am honest and upright
and worthy of support, but because
you believe | am capable and will try
to Go my duty, and if you don't be,
lieve that don't vote for me.
In the campaign of 1908 / made
a plea for the young man, which
was about the only argument | had
to make, as | was opposed by

SATURDAYS GAME
Islanders Go to Clinton, but Have to
Turn Around and Come Back
on Next Train.

The Islanders went to Clinton Satur-
day to give Ted Sullivan a chance to
make good on his promise to show
them a few pointers about the game,
but old J. Pluvius stepped in and saved
his boyhood friend, Ted. from being
Inundated. Tighe's men had decided
to take a crimp in the old scout who
is heading the up-river aggregation,
regardless of the respect they have
for his age, but they were not given
chance. In the language of the song
ster: "They walked right in and they
turned around and they walked right
out again" When they left Rock ISL
and to go up on the 1. & 1. from Daven-
port it looked as though they would
be able to play all right, but when they
arrived in Clinton the rain was coming

NOTES OF THE GAME

Now for the big noise Wednesday.
Let's all go over the river.
Three games with the Pretzels and
then the Islanders come home for a
series with Waterloo and Dubuque.
Kelley had his batting eye open all
right. as three clean hits show. One
of them. good for three sacks, too.
Guess that's poor.
Notice the number of sacrifice hits?
That's baseball. There are times
when a sacrifice is just as effective
as hit. Ability to bunt is a great
asset to any player.
Callahan made a beautiful catch of
Locks line drive to center in third in
ming Cal came in at top speed and
picked it off the tops of the grass
blades and then did somersault.
Some class to that outfield. First one
stars and then another.
Eddie Kohl performed in the outfield
like a veteran. Schultz drove one out
to the fence in the third round and
Eddie cut it to a single with a quick
recovery of the ball and a perfect peg
to second. VogeI caught the ball waist
high while standing on the bag.
In the second Uhl, our ex-recruit for
the initial sack, drove a liner to Stats,
his successful rival, and Stats made
a good one-handed stop of it. The ball
escaped his grasp, however, and he
cuffed and kicked it out of the dia
mond. but secured it in time to throw
Uhl out, anyway. due to Couchman's
speed in getting to first
Freddie Ochs and Harle Wagner,
the Islander recruits, played with Ned
Egan's Ottumwa yannigans Saturday
and yesterday against Muscatine. Yes
terday Wagner did the twirling and
let the Pearl Finders" down with five
hits while his teammates were making
seven, and yet the game was lost by
a score of 2 to l. Ochs did some nice
work in the field for the Ottumwa team
and made two nice hits out of the
seven secured. Both boys returned to
the fold here today.

HIS MOTHER is Ill
Popular Islander OutfieIder CompeII-
ed to Leave Team on Eve of

William Hunter, one of the brighto5.
lights that every shone in the Islander
outfeld, was the recipient of bad news
late Saturday night which will caus,
him to be absent from the squad 10,
sometime and will keep him out of the
opening series with Davenport A tel
egram from his home in Buffalo, ~
Y, appraised him of the fact that his
mother was at the point of death and
he secured leave of absence from Man
ager Tighe and hurried to her bedsid
in hopes of reaching her before death
claimed her. Hunter will be serioa5.y
missed as he has held down the RICH
garden ever since coming here and
just who to put in his place will be
something of puzzle.

Over Rock Island and

MUD AND WATER DEFIED
Runners PIOd Through Heavy Track
Rather Than Miss Getting
Together.

Despite the unfavorable weather
which rendered good work almost i'm
possible, the high schools Of the three
cities held their track and field meet
at Exposition park Saturday afternoon.
Had there been a favorable opportun-
ity, the meet would have been post
poned until later date, but as every
Saturday from now until the close OF
school has something scheduled for al
least two of the schools, there was D
chance to do this, and it was a case
of meet Saturday in the rain and mud,
or not at all, and the desire was unan-
imous to defy the weather.
Davenport. as the dope predicted,
was an easy winner of the meet, the
athletes of the red and blue gathering
in total of 62 1-3 points out of a
possible SO. Rock Island and Moline
were the real contenders of the meet,
their energies being directed towards
securing second place. The local ath-
letes won out by a narrow margin,
their total being 231k against 171z for
Moline.
