If there is any practical means by

at least a matter which should be

Old Fitx's Abssntmindednes


OF FitzGerald's observation-disclosures
and preoceupation a good story ID
told. He was going to London from
Woodbridge to visit some friends, TAX
ing with him his handy man. When
Woodbridge was left the sky was
clear and cloudless, but when London
was reached it was raining in tor
rents. FITZGERALD paced restlessly up
and down the platform, expressing re
gret at having failed to bring his UNI
brella and occasionally sending his
man out to see If the rain had ceased,
Suddenly FITZGERALD stopped in front
Of time table. A brilliant inspiration
had come to him. His long, artistic
fingers followed the dotted lines, and
then, taking out his watch from his
fob, he said to his man, John, go and
fetch my umbrella and catch the -
train back again." And away went
faithful John to Woodbridge on a
journey costing twice as much as an
umbrella could have been purchased
for just outside the station, while
FITZGERALD stayed in the waiting room.

How Water reezes.

It used to puzzle all thinking people
why ponds and rivers do not freeze
beyond certain depth. This depends
on most curious fact-namely, that
water is at it's heaviest when it reach
es 40 degrees F.-that is, 8 degrees
above freezing point. On a frosty
night as each top layer of water falls
to 40 degrees it sinks to the bottom
Therefore the whole pond has to drop
to 40 degrees before any Of it can
freeze At last it is all cooled to this
point, and then ice begins to form.
But ice is a very bad conductor Of
heat. Therefore it shuts off the freez-
ing air from the big body of compare
lively warm water underneath. The
thicker it gets the more perfectly does
it act as great coat, and that is why
even the Arctic ocean never freezes
beyond a few feet in thickness.

Boxind the Ears.

Don't box a naughty child's ears
Don't allow any provocation to tempt
you to strike a child on the head" is
the injunction contained in an article
on skulls issued by the international
hygiene exposition at Dresden. Corpo-
raj punishment Of any kind, says the
writer, is wrong, but when the head IS
the point of contact between the an
cry parent and the child the former
may easily become a murderer. In a
collection of skulls at the exposition
lent by the Wurzburg university there
are many of children as well as adults
which show that the abnormally thin
skull is not unusually found, even in
otherwise normal human beings, and
the causes of death, which are stated
on cards attached to the skulls, are
intended to serve as warnings to par
ents, teachers and guardians.

OPENING THE SCHOOL HOUSES.

1t was Rochester, N. Y, that first
conceived the idea of throwing open
the school buildings in the evening
to be used as a gathering place for
social events.
That was three years ago. You
can't tell Rochester now that it
wasn't a happy bunch.
Therefore, Mrs. Starkweather'
suggestion that Bemidji takes some
action on this proposition is an i'm
portant one.
1t is especially important to Be
midi for the reason that here the
young people, and older ones. too
have a limited number of places in
which to seek diversion.
If it has been found practical to
open the school buildings for the
young, and old, to meet for old fash
toned spelling bees, for literary pro-
grams and other social entertain
ments, Bemidji may we'll give the
matter serious attention.
The idea is a new one and it may
at first seem unreasonable to attempt
to turn a school house into a social
center, but before it is condemned it

THE OBJECTIONABLE SONG.

Recently Woodrow Wilson, former
president of Princeton university, at
present governor of New Jersey and
a maybe democratic candidate for
president, got to talking about religi-
GUS hymns and improved the oppor-
tunity to say that "Beautiful ISLE
was silly, nonsensical and foolish.
God lives, and all is we'll.
The hymn in question follows:
"Somewhere the sun is shining
Somewhere the song birds dwell;
Hush then thy sad repining,
somewhere the day is longer,
Somewhere the task is done;
Somewhere the heart is stronger,
Somewhere the guerdon won.
"Somewhere the load is lifted,
Close by an open gate;
Somewhere the clouds are rifted,
Somewhere the angels wait
"somewhere, somewhere Beautiful
Isle of Somewhere!
Land of the true, where we live anew
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere.
Storms of protest have resulted
from Governor Wilson's criticism OF
the song and the New Jersey execu-
tive has decided to devote more at
tention to political ills and less tc
church hymns.

How Flvinu Fish FIv,

The popular notion that flying fish
beat their wings" is mistake, if we
are to rely upon the results of studies
of these fish made by no less an au-
thority than Captain Barrett Hamilton.
1t appears that the wings are not true
organs Of flight, but rather play the
part Of a parachute or an aeroplane.
The whole motive power is supplied
by the tail. which acts as propeller.
and the vibration or quivering Of the
wings in the air currents and their
occasional shift of inclination are not
phenomena connected with the propul-
sion of the fish in it's aerial fight.

PRESERVING Spiders Webs.

Naturalists employ an ingenious
method of preserving all kinds Of spi-
ders' webs. The webs are first spray
ed with an atomizer with thin solu-
ton of artists shellac, and then, should
they be Of the ordinary geometric
form. they are pressed carefully
against glass plate, the supporting
strands at the same time being sew
cred. After the shellac solution has
dried the plates carrying the webs can
be stored away in a cabinet. Even
dome shaped webs may be preserved
in their original form by spraying
them with shellac and then allowing
them to dry before removal from their
supports. Many spiders webs are very
beautiful, and all are characteristic Of
the species to which they belong, so
that from a scientific standpoint their
permanent preservation is very desir-
able

session? *'."-

WALL"
The Journal is a great newspaper
and has done many commendable
things and was champion for reap
portionment SO long, at least, as Min
neapolis was assured fine, fat piece
of the pie-if there was any pie, but
when the Journal makes the positive
assertion that a reapportionment bill
can not be passed at an extra session
it is both narrow and forgetful.
Narrow because it refuses to see
predominating honesty in the senate
and forgetful because it appears to
have slipped the memory of the Jour-
nal that the Congdon bill was defeat
ed, not because it was a reapportion-
ment measure, but because it in
creased the representation of the
three big cities and did not material
ly increase the representation of the
agricultural districts of the North.
If the Journal is as eager for re-
apportionment as the Bemidji Pho
neer it will now begin to realize that
an extra session means a prompt re-
apportionment and that what looks
like stone wall is only a bluff.

A Submerged Crater.

During the explosion Of the volcano
of Krakatoa., in the strait. OF Sunda, In
1883, large part Of the island of Kra-
katoa was blown away, and the sea
took it's place. Not long afterward
measurements were made Of the shape
and depth of the cavity left covered
with water at the northern end of the
disrupted island. The results were pub
lished by DR.. Verbeek in 1886. Lately
DR.. Won Bemmelen has remeasured the
submerged basin formed by the ex
plosion. and he finds that within the
partial ring formed by the three re-
naming islands of the Krakatoa group
there is central basin, oval in shape
and with fairly level floor. having a
depth over a considerable area of 800
feet Comparison with the former
measures indicates that there has been
no change in the sea floor during the
intervening years. There is no sign of
volcanic activity.

Worse Than a Galley Slaves Life

Elton appears to have been even hard

describes his experience there as
"worse than that Of many inmates of

s o'clock on freezing winter mornings;
to sweep their own floors and make
their own beds; to go two by two to
the pump for scanty wash; to eat
no mouthful Of food until 8 O'Clock
In the morning; to live on an endless
round of mutton, potatoes and beer,
none of them too plentiful or too good !:
to sleep in a dismal cell without chair
or tables-such was the lot Of boys
whose parents could not pay for pri-
vate room. Some of these underwent
privations that might have broken
down a cabin boy and would be
thought inhuman if inflicted on q gal

YES, We DO.

The Minneapolis Journal inquiries
of the Bemidji Pioneer:
do you know of a single senator
who would change his vote on reap
portionment?''
To the Minneapolis Journal the
Bemidji Pioneer eplies:
Yes, we do.
And then the Pioneer hastens tc
add:
Yes, sir, more than four, and then
some and under pledges signed in
ink.
And the Journal is reminded that
the only reapportiOnment bill con-
sidered by the upper branch of the
last legislature, which killed the
Congdon measure, was lost by four
votes.
Several days ago the Journal ran
the following editorial:
THE Bemidji Pioneer, discussing
the opposition to an extra session of
the legislature, inquired: Does The
Journal-and others who harmonic
with it's views-mean to say that
Northern Minnesota never is to have
added representation?
ION the contrary, The Journal has
been persistent and consistent ad-
vocate of fair reapportionment for
Northern Minnesota, and the Pioneer
is both narrow and forgetful in its
question. If the present legislature
could possibly be expected to reappor-
ton the state fairly. that might JUS
tify the calling of an extra session.
But there is no chance of it. Does
the Pioneer know of a single senator
who would change his vote ON the
question?
1.-THE project of an extra session
was conceived by Senator julius Col
Ter, one of the strong opponents of
reapportionment, with the idea of
putting the Republicans in a. hole
on the question of increasing the
gross earnings tax of the railroads.
1t was taken up enthusiastically by
the Duluth Herald for similar parti-
zan reasons. The original PROPOSE
ton was to exclude reapportionment
and all subjects that would tend to
lengthen the session, and to bind a
majority of the members to take up
only an agreed on list of measures.
''Of late the demand for reappor-
tionment has been heard in connec-
ton with the extra session project.
Governor Eberhart has said that if it
could be shown that the senate would
change front on the question, he
might be willing to call an extra ses-
sion. But thus far no one has come
forward with proof that even one of
