Rescuers Sometimes Perish.

Ordinarily tho cry OF man overheard
coming from peaceful waters is not met
with the response prompted by the disci-
pline at sea. There is not always pres
ent the person willing to win a hero
medal for rescue from drowning. Be
sides, such attempted rescues arc often
attended with serious danger and some
times two lives are lost instead of one,
due to the inability of the rescuer to
protect himself from the frantic efforts
of the drowning person to save himself.
The life buoys will do away with this
danger and furnish the drowning person
with something to cling to until he can
be reached with a boat. Those who fire.
auent the tidal basin, whether to boat
or to fish. may now feel greater sense
of security against drowning accidents

The flight was the most pretentious
cross-country event ever attempted at an
open meet in this country and compelled
the f1ters to pass over nearly dozen
cities, a condition which, at the last mo-
nlent, influenced Claude Grahame-White
to decline to take the risk, although he
was supposed to be practically sure of
winning first money with his speedy Nieu-
port nlonoplane.
Tom Sopwith, a brother Enslishman:
Eugene r. Ely Of the Curtiss camp and
George w. Beatty. who flies Wright,
also declined to enter the Cross-cOuntry.
although before going over the course as
near as railroad trains would carry them
last week they had expressed their inten-
ton of being participants. That the flight
would be an interesting one was assure,
however. in that Ovington would find ev-
cry inch OF the route debated with Stone,

A Sixth Sense,

An interesting discussion arose at
recent college lecture concerning the
instinct of direction" possessed SO
marvelously by savage races. and by
animals. Undoubtedly animals are
aided largely by scent In the case
OF humans 1t is different and some OF
the pupils argued that the primitive
man is able to find his way in the
densest forest without taking note OF
the sun. the wind. the lay of the land.
or the course of the streams. There
fore 1t was said he must be guided
by sixth sense. because none of the
regular five senses could aid him.
Other pupils. however, argued that
the Indian found his way In places
where there were no apparent guides
because he knew how. because he had
learned all his life how to do 1t, just
as the writer. for instance, will write
page after page OF copy. spelling all
the words correctly. but yet cannot II
asked. spell a simple word This Is
because he learned the words long
ago. and his spelling is purely me
chanical. 1t Is so with the Indian
