Birds on a Cake Walk

Charles A. Corwin, of the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, has returned from trip in which he visited the Laysau island in the Pacific ocean, which is inhabited by millions of birds, mostly two species of alba tross. But in the middle of the island is a lagoon thickly populated by a species of love-bird.
 We eau fully verify" he says, "the stories that these strange birds have a peculiar dance which resem bIes cake walk. They clap their bills together and waddle about with high stepping antics, ducking their heads first under one wing and then the other. All through the dance they whistle and utter weird sounds"

That students of the University Of Washiugtou are highly democratic and not arlstocralic, as often charged by enemies of higher education, was shown by the statistics compiled recently by Recorder E. N. Stone, which denote that, despite the fact that SIP of the regularly enrolled students are women, more than 60 per cent of tbis total reg istrauUu a.e eu4seIy or partially self supporting. The exact calculations show that T92 university attendants await fathers check every month, while 727 are partially self-supporting, and 466 students depend absolutely upon their own resources. A number of other interesting statistics were also made pubic by Recorder Stone. By adding the 4Sl summer school attend ants and the forty eight persons in the new extension division, the total en- rolIment now stands 2,514. The short course miners and Ioresters and the mid year entrants are yetto be counted, The state of Washington contributes the pre- ponderance of the enrolment, 1,743 students coming from the Ever green state, a. compared with l94 from other parts of the uniou, and forty eight from foreign countries.
