Era Says Seniors Ought to ee Trusted
to Keep Sober.
The Cornell Era registers a protest
against dry senior banquets and urges
the committee in charge Of the last
celebration Of the senior class to pro-
vide enough beer to 60 around several
times. The article says:
"One hopes that the committee In
charge may avoid the mistake Of last
year, when the banquet 80 closely re-
sembled the social gathering Of the
W. G. T. q. It Is indeed sad COM
mentary on the self control Of the
members of the senior class when
they are not trusted to keep sober for
an evening unless prevented from get
ting something to drink.
Include beer in the menu. Not az
much as each man can drink, but
enough to go around several times.
We would Ike to see a successful
senior banquet and not one attended
by very small percentage Of the
members Of the class, as was the case
when the banquet was dry last year."
The Era admits that in the old days
there was need for reform. but says
that the percentage of students who
now drink with regularity is SO small
as to be almost negligible.

KILL SHARK WITH KNIVES.
Eleven Foot Man Eater Victim Of
Swimmers 0exterity.

Swimmer Dexterity.
On board the Pacific Mail steamer
Peru, plying between San Francisco
and Central American and Mexican
ports, is rare specimen of the man
eating shark, which was killed by ma
tive swimmers in sight of the passen-
gers on the steamer while she was at
anchor of San Jose, Mexico.
The man eater is eleven feet long
and is said to be the biggest ever seen
along the Mexican coast. DR.. j. w.
Clark, the ships surgeon, has the
specimen and intends to present it to
the Golden Gate park museum.
The shark was killed by two men
who with hardwood sticks, sharpened
at each end, in their hands and knives
between their teeth plunged into the
water. They came to the surface
many times, only to dive again. Aft
er fifteen minutes the men came up
smiling and stayed. Soon the dead
shark rose to the surface. Its jaws
were held apart by the stick, and the
swimmers had ripped it open with
their knives.

Immense Damage Done by Brush Fires
In Michigan.
Detroit, July l3.-The destruction
OF the twin villages of Au Sable and
Oscoda and the 100000 fire at Al.
pena, which were not due to forest
fires, probably caused exaggerated re-
ports of heavy damage and possible
loss of life from forest fires in the
northern counties Of the Southern
peninsula of Michigan
Towns along the Detroit and Macki-
nae railroad, from Posen, in Pressure
Island county, to Onaway, in Cheboy-
gan, suffered considerable damage but
many towns that were reported burn.
ing are now reported safe. These
include Lewiston, Turner and Alger.
Reports of loss of life at Au Sable
and Oscoda are persistent but it is
impossible to confirm them. Most of
them originated from the stories OF
panic stricken refugees who in their
mad rush from the burning towns
saw many people fall from exhaustion
and counted all these as inevitably
lost. some Of the reports estimating
the dead as high as fifty.
Six towns between Alpena and
Cheboygan that were thought to be
threatened with destruction. escaped
with serious property losses when the
forest fires invaded their precincts.
