The Rocks lay poorly. and their eggs

FLYING IN DREAMS.
a Sensation like That Which Some
times Preoedes Death.

The sensation or dying Is one OF the
earliest to appear In the dreams OF
cbudhood. II seems to become less
freouent after middle age. Beaunis
states that IN his case 1t ceased at the
oge OF Hfty. IL Is sometimes the last
sensation at the moment OF death.
To rise. TO fall. 10 glide away has
,f,en been the last conscious sensation
recalled by those who seemed to be
diving but have afterward been brought
hack 10 life. Pieron has noted this
sensation at the moment OF death in a
number OF cases. usually accompanied
nv sense OF well being. The cases ho
describes were mostly tuberculous and
Included individuals Of both sexes and
with athelstic as well as religious be-
llefs.
In all the last sensation TO which ex-
oression was given was one of flying.
of moving upward. In some death was
peaceful. In others painful In enc
case a girl died clasplng the iron bars
OF the bed. in horror OF being borne
upward.
Pieron associates this sensation with
the similar sensation OF rising and float
Ing in dreams and with that Of NOV
ing upward and resting on the air ex-
perienced b. persons in the ecstatic
state. In all these cases alike life Is
being concentrated In the brain and
central organs, while the outlying dis
tricts OF the body are becoming numb
and dead.
Dream flight, Il Is necessary to note.
IS not usually the sustained fight OF a
bird or an insect. and the dreamer
rarely or never imagines that he Is
borne high into the afr. Hutchinson
states that OF all those whom he has
asked about the matter hardly one
has ever known himself 10 make any
high lights I'm his dreams. One al
most always flies low. with a skim
ming manner. slightly. but only slight
". above the heads OF pedestrians.
Beaunis-from his own experience
describes n typical kind OF dream
fight as n series OF light bounds at
one or two yards above the earth. each
bound clearing from ten 20 twenty
yards. the dream being accompanied
by a delicious sensation OF case and
movement as well as a lively satisfac-
ton at being able 10 solve the problem
OF aerial locomotion by virtue OF SUI
perior organization alone.
Lafcadio Kearn somewhat similarly
describes IN his "Shadowings' a typi-
cal and frequent dream OF his own as

curves. rising 20 height OF some twen-

Euasnie,s American Ancestry

The Empress Eugene was the grand
daughter Of Mr.. Fitzpatrick, American
consul at Malaga during the early
years OF the nineteenth century. Mr..
Fitzpatrick's wife was Of Scotch de-
scent and claimed TO be connected in
some remote way with the Stuarts.
They had one daughter, a very beaut-
full and accomplished girl, who made q
brilliant marriage with the Marquis De
Montijo, Comte De Teba. He died aft
er a few years OF married life, leaving
her with two young daughters, one Of
whom subsequently married the Duke
OF Alba. The other, Eugene, became
empress of the French. - From the

GRAIN BUYERS MUST PAY
HEAVY TOLL ON GRAIN

DAYTON, Wash, Feb. 1S.-(Spec-

land. Tacoma and other coast points
will be forced this year to pay a heavy
toll on grain purchased at Dayton.
Walla Walla and other Inland En-
pire points. When the county asses
sors commence the work of levying
taxes in March, they will find millions
OF bushels of grain stored in the
warehouses awaiting shipment to tide
water. In Columbia county alone
where it is said the condition is gen.
orally epresentative-Ass A. K.
French will levy taxes on about two
thirds of last years grain crop of ap-
Droximately two and One-half millions
of bushels. The rate here is fixed at
81 a bushel on wheat and 20 cents
on barley with rate of mills for
an average throughout the county.
Farmers will not pay these taxes
because fully 95 per cent of this stored
grain is in the hands of the coast
dealers. who~have been unable. owing
to lack OF demand for export grain,
to move it to the coast. Dealers here
say more grain will be taxed in the
Inland Empire this year probably by
half than ever before. Since the first
Of the year very little grain has been
shipped to the coast whereas in for
mer years most of the crop has been
moved before March / in order to es-
cape the taxes

TAFT GENTLY TELLS SMOCT
HIS POSTAL AMENDMENT BAD
Advises Senator to Withdraw lt-As.
serts II Is Not Constitutional
in Effect

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-President
Taft today had as guests at luncheon
Senators Aldrich and SmOot. The pur-
pose of their entertainment was to
bring the latter in line with the ad-
ministration view regarding the postal
savings bank bill.
Mr.. Taft made it clear that he
thought the Smoot amendment, which
would prevent the board Of trustees
from withdrawing postal bank funds
from local banks for investment else
where, would make the measure un-
constitutional.
Although unconvinced that his am
endment would menace the cOnstitu-
tionality of the measure, Mr.. Smoot
told the president that he was unwil-
ling to take the responsibility of a pos
sible veto by the president or the de-
cision of the supreme court declaring
unconstitutional an act establishing
postal banks. 1t is said he did no'
promise definitely to Withdraw his am
endment but would abandon it II thr
best LAWYERS of the senate took tff
position that it should not be adopted
Neither Senator Aldrich nor Senator
Smoot endorsed the proposition

time they said they would stand OacA
of the president in an effort TO re-
deem the republican pledge for tnai
establishment.
