to discuss physical charms.
When the stock arrived In Washing
ton, thereby terminating her long voy-
age by land and sea, she was registered
on the books Of the park as Magauer
Stork. And now, regardless of the fact
she has been here only a few days, she
mas aroused jealousy. In their snippy
way her enemies have dubbed her
"Maggy" .,tork. why can't they pro-
nounce Il Margaret? It sounds so much
more genteel.
Since arriving In this fair city of ours,
with its wonderful boulevards and pos
sible universal transfers for the street
car patrons, Miss Maggy Stork has been
resting up, according to Superintendent
Blackburn.

Preparations are being made for the
winter. though not many changes are
required at the Zoo. The beasts that
are not rugged enough to stand the out
door life during the winter are nearly
all provided with houses, adjoining their
cages These they can enter or leave
at will. The tropical birds will be taken
from the big flying cages and placed in
the warm cages. 1t has not been nec-
essary to change them yet.
Not many animals have been born in
the cages at the Zoo recently. The lat
est addition to the animal kingdom is q
