Generally
WEATHER CONDITIONS.

A further decrease in pressure has
occurred over the territory from the
Rocky mountain states to the upper
lakes, attended by widely scattered
showers and thunderstorms in the
northern Rocky mountain sections, the
upper Missouri valley and Minnesota,
with continued high temperatures
over the country east Of the Rockies.
Rains are also again reported from the
gulf sections and showers on the north
Atlantic coast have resulted from the
low that is over New England. The
pressure remains highest in the south
Atlantic and east gulf sections. Owing
to this distribution of air pressure,
generally fair and continued warm
weather is indicated for this vicinity
tonight and Saturday.

Oysters as Rat Traps.

Catching rats with oyster shells is
the unique method employed by some
pearlers round about Broome, Western
Australia. They leave a large oyster
on the floor of the cabin at night 1t
opens for a breath of fresh air. and
the smell OF fresh meat attracts the
rats When the rodent thinks he'll
try a little supper. the oyster sudden
ly decides that he doesn't like fresh
air Next morning the shell is pried
open and the dead rat thrown over
board

The Dog And The Pistol.

One of the most astonishing
things is how fragrant abuses can
continue to live against uniyer
sal adverse criticism. Forexam.
ple, the sheep.killing dogs seem
to be one of the most useless
things in the world, and the Leg.
islature ought to unanimously
pass a law to kill them in favor
of sheep husbandry. Yet it is
never done.
Again, the matter Of carrying
concealed weapons is he basis of
a great many murders a n d
honiciues. There is a law, of
course, against carrying conceal
ed weapons, but it is not effec-
tive. One way to make 1t effec-
tive would be to make it against
I he law to sell a pistol except to
a man who takes out a license to
buy one for use in the house, and
another for carrying it in his
pocket, and requiring a fee for
each license. Yet nothing is ever
done about it.
The crime at Whitevil|e seems
to have been base upon the fact
that there were two pistols lying
around the house lOose.-Char.
