Norwegian Explorers Secure Some
New Photographic Records in
Northern Canada.

The explorers, Christian Leden and
Harald Thaulow. have just returned
to Christiania from an expedition to
Northern Canada which was underta-
ken with the object of collecting phon-
ographic records of the folksongs Of
the various Indian tribes and compar-
ing them with those obtained in ear
lier expeditions to the Esquimaux.
with the view Of establishing how far
was their common origin.
The largest tribe visited was the
Cree, which numbers over 10000.
Their chief. Montonigik, was at first
hostile, but, after a few presents Of
tobacco and glass beads and after
having been told that the explorers
had been sent by the king Of Norway
to make his tribe famous, he became
more amenable to the wishes Of the
explorers.
They brought back with them a
most interesting collection Of films
and records Of Indian life and music.
Leden will go in the fall to Greenland
for further investigation in the spring
of 1913 and a long final exploration OF
Northwest Canada which will extend
for three years. He will visit tribes
that have never been in contact with
the whites, he says.

have cut on walking time" That is
something probably unknown in the
city, but in the Adirondacks. a section
of great distances, it is of importance
to men working on the new roads
being built by the state. Able-bodied
men live at such distances from each
other and from their work that when
gang finally is got together some of
the men are certain to have walked
miles from home. If married, as they
usually are in the mountains, they
have the same walk back at night
This became known as walking time;
that is. the man was on the Job the
moment he took up his dinner pail and
started to walk to his work, even
though 1t took him an hour or an hour
and a half to get there. He also
quit that much earlier than others in
the evening. but was "at work" and
paid for it when walking home. The
new superintendent have decided the
state cannot afford to pay men for
walking. and have cut of that time.
The result is a great discomfort and
trouble in getting sufficient men for
work on the roads.-Boston Tran

MAN CANNOT LIE ABOUT FISH
Nothing One Can Say on the Subject
Is Too Weird to Be Duplicated
In Actual Experience

Everything is possible where fishing
Is concerned. This talk about fishing
men outraging the truth or departing
from veracity is bosh. tonmyrot and
nonsense A man may think he can
manufacture a lie about fish. but 1t Is
q mistake. Nothing you can say on the
subject is too weird to be duplicated
by actual experience. There are fish
which weigh 5000 pounds. and there
are other fish who speak French and
eat with an oyster fork.
Philip c. Kennedy, the engineer,
who knows all there is to know about
fish, heard a man ridiculing a story
that bass could be caught in the mud
dy water of the Potomac river by a
man striking an oar on the surface Of
the stream and watching the fish leap
merrily into the boat. Then the engi-
neer told this:
'In the hot and simmering summer
Of 1897 l was with corps OF engi-
neers making surveys Of the Shenan-
doah river which unites with the Po-
tomac at Harper's Ferry. One party
lived in a cabin on a large fiat-bot-
toned boat. and the shadow cast by
this boat attracted fish in large guam
titles. The bass, particularly. were
so filed with curiosity that in jump
ing up into the air for the purpose of
investigation they fell over the sides
of the boat. and we picked them up
at will"
All of which indicates the time vast

figured out that they have to use a
hook and line. AS a means Of sport

Saved the canvasbacks.

The last duck that we saved from
starving to death by the local trolley
employees, who caught and fed them
last winter, was shipped to New York
city recently, consigned to one Of the
many parks in that city.
Some time ago three canvasbaeks
were shipped. but the one that was
sent recently was not strong enough,
so 1t was kept here longer. When the
lake was closed by the ice last winter
many OF these ducks were frozen to
the ice and others became so far fam
ished that they were unable to fly.
The trolley men running between here
and Branchport when they saw the
birds In such a condition took them to
the power house and fed them. The
majority were freed after the ice
broke, up. but the four largest were
shipped to New York city.-Penn Yam

sackIno the Animals.

Spader Johnson, one of the princi-
pal clowns with the Ringing circus,
was spinning yarns in the padroom
and told this:
A rube visitor to the city had spent
all of the morning reading circus
bills and was just going to his hotel
when he saw a red painted United
States mail wagon going down the
street. He sized it up for a circus
wagon and followed it four miles to
the postoffice and with wide open
mouth watched the unloading of the
mail.
Late in the afternoon he met an
other rube and remarked:

Toll of the Iceberas.

The list OF vessels battered or sunk
by icebergs is a long one, and it is
well to recall it at a time when all
the world is thinking of the Titanic.
Thus, to take an example or so at
haphazard, in the spring Of 1890 four
steamers of the England-America
route utterly vanished, and in 1899 ten
steamers disappeared.
In 1908 the Monaghan was impris-
oned for two days In the ice, but es-
capped; in 1909 the Lake Champlain,
the Regulus, the Bonavista, and the
Montrose were so battered by the float
ing ice, that each escaped calamity by
very narrow margin, while none can
tell how many fishing smacks are

ering. CLASSY crags.

LOCAL BURCLARIES CLEARED UP
Chief Murphy Gets Considerable Of the Loot Part of Which
Was in Lodges Near Allyn's Point-Property Taken
From Hall, Bowman and Carew Houses

Within the past four months there
were several breaks in this city, which
at the time were considered the work
Of boys and that theory has been Prov
en- correct within the past week by
Chief Murphy, who has not only sat
1sded himself as to who the parties
were but has been able to obtain quite
little of the property taken. 1t is
alleged that some Of the young men
sentenced Wednesday mad knowledge
of the matters, as it is stated they
had had the goods in their possession
and had disposed of two revolvers.
The stolen goods were recovered last
week, but the fact was kept. quiet,
though reported to the state attorney
that 1t might not prejudice the cases
in the criminal court.
The breaks were all made in resi-
dences which were vacant at the time
of the entry, the residents being out
or away from town at the time. The
residence of Joseph Hall in Broad
street was entered and there was taken
therefrom together with other things
two Indian blankets which he had Sc
cured in New Mexico. and which he
priced highly. A revolver of the
Hopkins & Allen make was also taken.
These things have been recovered,
the blankets having been found in a
ledge near Allyn's Point. and are now
in possession of the police. Mr.. Hall
has identified the blankets and the
revolver.
On the night of the dedication Of
st. Patrick's church, the residence of
John r. Bowman in Greene avenue

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
AID SoclETY's YEAR
More Benevolence Than Ever Before
Annual Meeting Elects officers and
Approves Reports.

The annual meeting of the First
Baptist Church Aid society was held
at the church Wednesday afternoon.
The meeting was called to order by
the president. Mrs. Lemuel Park. The
several reports were read and APP
proved. Mrs. John B. Dat, the Sec
rotary, gave an excellent annual re-
port of the work of the society, as
did the manager, Mrs. Will J. Koonz,
who told of the amount Of work done
with the bright prospect of having
many orders ahead. The financial re-
port, as given by the treasurer, Mrs.
Arthur f. Howard. shows a balance
in the treasury This is gratifying, as
the society has never met more calls
for benevelonce than during the past
year. Following the annual election
of officers was held. Mrs. Lemuel
Park, who has been so faithful and
conscientious as president for more
than two years. declined a reelection.
Mrs. F. o. Cunningham was unani-
mously elected. Others chosen were:
Vice president, Mrs. Minnie Amburn;
secretary, Mrs. John B. Dat; treasur
er, Mrs. Arthur f. Howard; collector.
Mrs. Alfred l.. Davis: managers, Mrs.
VIII J. Koonz, chairman; Mrs. Hattie
Sargent, Mrs. Charles r. Cross and
Mrs. Charles Lamb, assistants. Mrs.
Herbert Wiley was made food com
mittee and Mrs Hezekith Perkins,
membership committee. AS ticket col
lector Mrs Thomas B. Linton was
named and the welcoming committee
includes Mrs. Thomas B. Linton and
Mrs. Amos c. Swan.
Mrs. Lemuel Park is to have care
of the surplus food. The meeting
closed with a rising vote of thanks
to the retiring president, Mrs. Park.
The regular church supper was served,
at which there was a good attendance.

There was taken a revolver from that
house, which has been secured. Both
reyolrers were sold and the purchaser
has revealed the party from whom the
Weapons were bought.
Chief Murphy also has in his pos
session rifle which was taken, 1t is
believed, from the residence of Charles
j. CareW, in Washington street, since
the home has been unoccupied. When
Mr. Bowman's residence was broken
INTO some old coins were taken and
one at least of these, Mr.. Bowman
says, corresponds with one which Chief
Murphy has. That one of the party
had others like it is claimed, was ad-
lnitted by him, but he said he threw
them away when told they might get
aim into trouble.
From the fact that the goods taken
were not those which professional bur-
glars would be DESTROYS of, it was con-
sidered from the first to be the work
of boys in each instance though the
Bowman break had more of the ear
marks of professionals, as money and
a revolver were taken there.
When asked about the location of
the goods, Chief Murphy on Wednes-
day stated that they had been found
and he expects to get more of them
IN fact, thinks that he will secure prac-
tically all that was taken, barring the
money.
No charges have been preferred I'M
der the existing circumstances, though
it is stated that those suspected know
of the finding of the stolen property
as they have been questioned regard
ing it and in one or more instances
shown the recovered property. With
the police satisfied that the guilty
ones are known and that they are
IN custody, all the local breaks are
now cleared up.
