Playina at Death.

The mother of Ivan Turgenev, the
Russian novelist, was trying person

unreasonable. On Ivan's birthday in
1915, we are told in 1.-TWO Rus

Eaas That Cant Be Found.

The eggs Of some common birds OF
the present day have never been
found. There is the robin snipe; its
eggs have never been seen. An Eng
lish zoologist kept man going up and
down the coast of Labrador for weeks
purposely to get a robin snipe's egg,
but it was in vain. The bird is known
by thousands of people, but 1t breeds
so far north and SO remote from any
civilization that no scientific observer
can ever get to its nest ere the young
are hatched and have taken to wing.
The frigate bird that is SO commonly
seen at sea on the Pacific and off the
West Indies is such a solitary bird
and is SO seldom seen in its nest dur
ing the hours of daylight that its egg
is rare. 1t seems strange, but the
eggs Of soswen known bird as the
sandpiper have never been found and

DIRECT VOTE
Is NOT FAVORED

washington, May 22--No popular
demand exists for change in the con-
stitution, SO as to deprive congress Of
the right to supervise the election Of
United States senators. So asserted a
minority Of the members Of the senate
committee, on judi zssv In q report,
filed today The report opposed the
withdrawal Of such right OF super
vision from congress, as is contem-
plated in the plan for the selection Of
senators by direct vote by the people.
1t was signed by Senators Clark Of
Wyoming, Nelson, Dillingham;, Suth-
erland, Brandegee and Root all re-
publicans. The report ignored the
question OF direct elections, and deals
entirely with that of house election.
The subject is presented from many
points of view, but is fairly summar-
lied in the first exception, in which 1t
is contended that there is no reason
why the ultimate authority of the ma
tional government over the time and
manner of election of senators by di-
rect popular vote, should not continue
to be exercised just as 1t always has
been exercised over the direct cleo
ton of representatives by popular
vote.

Moore, head weather man of the
United States, is coming to Fargo on
the opening day to take personal
charge and see that the weather is
O. K.
The above dispatch, received this
afternoon by The Forum, brought the
first definite information that Mr.,
Moore would be here.
DR.. Moore is one Of the foremost
weather men in the entire world and
is at the head OF the service in the
United States. His experience in this
line Of work makes him pre- eminent
as a speaker on weather conditions,
which are always timely topics to the
farmers OF the country.
It was through L. B. Hanna, repre-
sentative from North Dakota, that Mr.
Moore consented to come to Fargo to
deliver the address. Mr.. Hanna last
year secured one Of the big features
OF the fair, In having here the model
Of the battleship North Dakota, and
u Is through his efforts again that the
fair win secure one OF the biggest
speakers of the country for the OPEN
ing day OF the big exhibition.
The subject Of the address to be
given by DR.. Moore has not been an
nounced at yet. The officers Of the fair
association have made only tentative
plans for the coming Of the noted
speaker and the time Of the day for
the speech has not been agreed upon.
The address win probably be given
on platform in front OF the grand
stand, and. owing to the fact that 1t
will be Of much interest to the farmers
OF the state, it is expected that the
attendance will be large.
The head Of the weather bureau has
been in this state before but has never
stopped here to deliver an address.
He has also promised to speak at Dew
lis Lake for a short time some time
during the day Of July Is.
