Gil Adopted.

Tabled indefinitely by the board OF

froller TO recommend the passage OF
an ordinance which would provide for
the appropriation of money to repay

anticipated by Councilman Bartel
when he introduced II.
Bartel's resolution was presented
to council last Monday night. II was
sent to the board by the city clerk
this morning. following which the UNI
favorable action was taken. Council
man Matt Won Pein, was the only city
father to attend the meeting lie
stated following the action that coun-
ell could probably do nothing but
kick" lie believes the full power lies
with the board OF works.
Mayor Zimmerman said, regarding
the resolution:
absolute action will be deferred
until n later date. My mind. however
~ unchanged. The ordinance is all
right and l don't think the council or
board or any one else could in any leg
nj way refund the fines. The council
men should learn to take the knocks
of ONCE when they pass something
that doesn't please everyone. That's
politics. Compared to some of the
lemons that have been handed to me,
these lemons which the councilmen
claim they are getting, are peaches"

The big Fairview sewer contract
may be fought by Hipskind & Sons,
because the bond furnished by the

not equal 2ik per cent. of the contract
price. The law. according to Hip
skind. provides that 2E per cent. of
the contract price must accompany

Queen Alexandra. It has been def
nitely decided in the. Royal household
that the Dowager Queen will not at
tend the coronation of King George in
June.
1t is said that the Dowager's refusal
to give way to the new Queen has re-
suited in an open breach between
the two. 1t is charged that the
dowager Queen occupied Buckingham
Palace long after the time when, ac-
cording to custom the King and
Queen should have moved into it, She
also designed and flew a gorgeous
flag: and she issued statements in
proclamation form to her dear peo-
pie
Rumor has gone so far as to say
that there will be two courts in Lon
don and that Queen Alexandra de-
sires to outshine her daughter-in-law,
the wife of the present sovereign.

The Louvre dates away back to the

into library. The new building was
begun by Francis I. in 1928 and en-
larged and adorned by successive
kings, principally by Louis XIV. But
it was Napoleon /. who gave the
Louvre its real glory. Turning 1t into
a museum, Napoleon deposited in it

the new Louvre were begun by Napo-

A recent investigator has attempted
to show that Lombroso and his follow

of genius were Of small stature. OF
30 individuals Of eminence he found
that figures were obtaiEable for 1o3:
of these sixteen were Of middle height,
fifty eight above and Twenty-Five be-
low.
Americans particularly combined
greatness with inches. Jefferson and
Jackson were more than six feet tall.
Sumner was six feet four inches, and
Washington. Lincoln and Beecher were
more than six feet. Among famous
foreigners ToIstoy was a large man.
and so were Thackeray, Bismarck and
Darwin.
On the contrary, many Of the worlds

Blackbird Days.

JAN 80 and 81 and Feb. i are famous
at Constantinople, Brescia and along
the Danube and the Rhine as the
"blaekbird days" A curious legend
says that originally all species of crack
les (blackbirds) were white and that
they became black because during one
year in the middle ages the three days
mentioned above were so cold that all
the birds in Europe took refuge in the
chimneys. At Brescia the three days
are celebrated with a feast called SCI
giorni della merla," or 1.-The feast OF
the transformation of the bird"
