RE-orENING MONROE ST.. cHuRcr

The Monroe Street Methodist church
has been enlarged and beautifed and
is ready for re-opening next Sunday.
The service will be at $3.50 o'clock. An
addition of sixteen by twenty-eight
feet has been built at the rear with a
side entrance on the north. This af-
fords a urinary room. so much needed;
and a basement, which will ado to the
social equipment of the church. The
floor of tn eprimary room is on a level
with the pulpit rostrum and connected
with the main room by folding doors,
so that the two rooms can be one or
separated. The outside of the whole
church has been finished and painted
and is lighted with combination gas
and electric lights. The whole I'M
provement will cost $3.50. The Ladies'
Aid society has led in the project. and
deserves chief credit for this work.
w B. Conkey generously continued his
offer of 90 per cent added to all the
cash that could be collected. The re-
port of cash receipts will be made
Sunday afternoon A splendid pro-
gram of music and short speeches Will
| occupy the hour. A basket collection
will be taken to add to the cash on
hand. All the friends of this vigorous
young church are invited to be present.

WATERFRONT FLY
!. IS DAINTY M0RsEL
Biological Professor Found a Tribe
Which winnows and Dries It for
Future Use.

MOSCOW. Idaho, Sept. i4.-Prof
| J. M. Aldrich. head OF the department
! of biology OF the University OF Idaho
returning from the tour In which ne
investigated the insects OF western
salt and alkaline lakes In Utah, Ne
yada and California, describes an In
sect. the Ephydra hans which the
Indians use as food at Mono Lake.
"At Mona Lake | was too early 10
find the Indians collecting the NY, bu'
/ found plenty OF material to Illus
trate all stages OF the insect. he
SAYS. "The maggot lives In the strong
ly alkaline water OF the lake. On
reaching it's full size II attaches IL
self 10 something In the bottom OF the
lake and the outer skin becomes a
hard. brown shell, within which the
insect. changes into the pupa stage
preliminary to becoming the aduit
fly.
Normally the fiy Is ready TO
emerge I'm a week or so, which IL
does by pushing on the end OF the
shell and loating up to the surface.
In the latter part OF the summer
when the insects are abundant there
is n good deal of windy weather and
many of the insects in the pupa stage
are detached from the bottom OF the
lake and float to the surface. They
are then washed ashore by the wind,
forming windows on the beach that
are sometimes two feet In depth.
This is the time when the Indians
collect them for food. They spread
these brown-shelled pupae out In the
sun to dry and after they are thor
ouehly dried they rub OF the brit
tie shells and winnow them out. The
resulting material looks like small
sort OF rice, being the cleaned ana
dried pupae of the fly. II Is called
by the Indians 'kootsabe,' and rs a
nourishing food which can be pre-
served indefinitely. 1t contains good
deal of fat.
White people say that the amount
of labor involved In cleaning and
winnowing IL Is out OF proportion to
the quantity OF food obtained, but II
Is regarded as delicacy by the In
dams.
Another insect used as food by
the Indians of the Mono Lake region
is large, smooth caterpillar that
feeds on the foliage OF yellow pine,

Accused Shakers Cling

~ going about their humble duties In
the little Shaker settlement at Ash

Not sign OF regret for their relief
Of the dying sister whose agonies they

trouble. And she quietly echoed the
confident faith Of her fifty~four-year-
old companion;
Before God, We did what was
right.
The ex..umation o: the body OF the
dead sister Sadie, proved the story OF
her death as told In the confession OF
the couple who in answer to her agon.

tale that had been circulated as to
the cause of the woman's death. Today

termine whether the internal organs
showed traces Of any poison other
than chloroform.

The license was issued by the coun-

wilkle did not know that marriage
license can legally be used only In
the county in which II Is issued. On
that point the Rev. Robert Renison,
rector OF st. Marks Episcopal church
of Los Angeles, was as ignorant az

formed the ceremony In Los Angeles

Wilke and his bride had no doubt

they knew no different until they
learned that the Recorder of Los An
