Bee King Causes the
Crowds to Wonder

Prof. Frank odell, the King OF the
Bees, has proven his right to the title by
entering a screened cage at the Coliseum
and uncrating a swarm OF bees But he
did not uncrate them and then walk out
of the cage. He scooped them up in his
bare hands, opened his shirt front and
put handful against his bare skin, took
off his hat and filled 1t with the buzzing
insects, put them in his mouth and per-
formed a series of feats that would have
meant death from poisonous stings to
anyone else.
And all the time the professor was play
ing with his subjects he talked, ex-
planning the life Of the bees and accred-
iting them with more intelligence than
the common insect possesses. At the
conclusion Of his demonstrations, which
were witnessed by hundreds OF people, he
explained it all by psychology, saying
that the confusion accompanying his
rough handling of the bees caused them
to congregate into groups and discuss
what had happened" but the crowd, Sc
ing that the bees were not always CON
fused" is still wondering.

for the state and he is unable to give

The indictment tried and upon which
he was found not guilty was that of

that the two sheriffs, Fred Magic and

Weather Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending June 18, 1911.
The past week was about all that
could be desired as to temperature, the
average for the state being slightly
above normal. The rainfall was, how
ever, unequald distributed, but all ex-
cept the extreme northwestern and
southeastern districts received some
benefit from showers near the close of
the week. In many localities in the
central and northeastern counties the
amount of rainfall was copious to
heavy and ample for present needs,
but over the larger part of the state
the rainfall was light and in some pla-
ces practically none. In many local
tiles and especially over the southern
and northwestern counties, oats, hay,
pasture and potatoes have already been
damaged and will continue to deterio-
rate if the drouth continues. In other
sections where the showers were heavy
a nd in the northeastern counties
where rains have been frequent,
all crops are in good condition. Corn
is still making rapid progress except
in the southeastern counties
where the drouth has been the most
severe and of longer duration. Most
of the early planting has been cultivat-
ed the third time and all fields are
clean, the soil is in good filth and the
plants much above the average height.
Fall wheat and and rye harvest is in
progress i'll the southern counties and
much hay was secured during the week
but the yields will be considerably be-
low normal, Hot, dry weather has al
so been injurious to fruits; many ap-
pies are falling and in sections where
showers have not occurred berries are
drying up. Rain is needed badly, not
only for crops, but to replenish the
water supply which is getting short.

warmest applause was Lord Roberts.
