after an hour or so of this that he
dropped into the bar of the Parthenon
for one last drink before going to din

pleasantly warmed by the alcohol. and
he was in the most genial and best of
spirits. At the corner of the bar sew
eval young men were up to the old
trick of resting their elbows and at
tempting to force each others hands
down. One broad-shouldered young
giant never removed his elbow, but

that they had not properly performed
their duty, which angered the Ital-

blow and big cash was cut in his

A meeting of the Whitefish Rifle
club was held in the council rooms

BODIES WILL REMAIN

Professor at johns Hopkins Univer-
sity Says 1t Is Improbable That
Any Corpse Will Return to Sur
face of Ocean.

There has been much discussion of
late as to what would become Of the
ill-fated ship Titanic and the bodies
Of those who died with it. The sup
position has been that they would
not sink the two miles to the bot
tom of the sea. Prof. Robert w.
Wood Of the chair of experimental
physics OF the John Hopkins univer-
sity says that they will sink clear to
the bottom and it is improbable that
any corpse will return to the sur
face again. His statement Is as
follows:
"The bodies Of the victims Of the
Titanic are at the bottom of the dec j
never to leave it.
"It is altogether improbable that
any corpse ever will return to the
surface. as in the case Of bodies
drowned in shallow water.
"At the depth of two miles the
pressure is something like 5000 lbs.
to the square inch, which is far too
great to be overcome by buoyancy

Good progress is being made in

about another week the ground will
be ready for the seed. Up to date
the stumps have all been blown out
and a crew Of men are now at work
plowing and narrowing. This is a
rather difficult job on this raw
land which Is cut up by ravine,
but marked improvement Is now
seen with what has already been
done.
From all people we hear great
deal of favorable comment on this
work. It is one of the best pieces
of work that has been undertaken
in this city. and every one should
lend a hand whenever they can to
get the work completed at an early
a date as possible. After several

this land action has really been TAX
