taught to accomplish almost any act
that its owner wishes.
The birds are naturally fond of play
and to combine play with instruction
is said by Edward Montague, an old
New Englander, to be the best meth
cd of training. Montague's ancestry
dates back in 1868, when Richard Mon
tague settled in Hadley, Mass, and all
of his descendants, OF whom there are
more than five hundred in the United
States, take pride in displaying the
Montague coat-of-arms.
In addition to being proud Of his
ancestry, Edward Montague is ex-
tremely proud of his flock of trained
cockatoos and some of his birds,
doubtless because of his training, dis
play almost human intelligence.
The cockato is found in immense
flocks in the wild regions three hun
dred miles west of Melbourne, Aus
tralia, and there they are easily
caught in traps. There are several
species, but those with the yellow
crest are the most beautiful as well
as the most intelligent.
It is a strange feature of the breed
ing of the cockatoo that the mother
bird matches her young in particular
ly torrid climate and then immedi-
ately flies away to some colder cline,
where the young bird quickly attains
its growth. Another feature of the
bird is that the crest is a barometer Of
feeling.
When incensed. the crest is percep-
tibly raised, while when the bird
suIks, the crest is correspondingly
lowered. Naturally the bird is Of a
vicious nature and one pick from the
sharp bill is sufficient to sever the end
of a finger.
Training of the birds is an interest
ing vocation and usually extends over
a period of two years. The individu-
al bird must first be taught to per-
form and then similar instruction has
to be given to the flock. The birds
can be taught to dance, engage in
chariot races, do stunts on the hori-
zontal bars, perform on revolving
balls and lastly to talk and swear.
The birds strangely pick up profane
words much more quickly than words
Of any other type, and some cockatoos
know more profanity than anything
else.
They live to be more than one hun
dred years old, and some birds are in
captivity which have exceeded the
century mark. They do not require
any more treatment to sustain life
than "a human being, and if they are
fed regularly and kept out of draughts
they contract no illness. But they dis
like extreme hot weather, and those
in captivity always grow restless
when the hot sun shines upon them.

For the Young Girls Eye.

There is nothing more beautiful
than simplicity of character. 1t is
honest, frank and attractive. How
different is affection! The simple
minded are always natural; they are
at the same time original. The af-
fected are never natural. AS for orig
inality. IL they ever had It, they have
crushed 1t out and buried 1t from sight
utterly. Be yourself. To attempt to
be anybody else is worse than folly.
II is impossible to attain It. A genu-
ine cent is worth more than a counter
felt dollar, and the smallest person
who is real, is worth more than the
biggest fraud In existence. Let the
fabric of your character, though ever
90 humble, be at least real.

From Copenhagen comes informa-
tion which will be received with inter
est by all who are alert to electric
progress. Professor Hanover, presi-
dent of Ihe Polytechnic academy Of
that capital, is asserted to have invent
ed an electrical accumulation that has
five times the capacity of the accumu-
lators now in existence without any
increase over them in size and weight.
He uses porous lead alloy sheets, the
capacity Of which is increased by per-
forating them with millions of mi
croscopic holes. Professor Hannover's
accumulation, while it is likely to be
more expensive than those now in use,
will be most valuable for aeroplanes
and submarine boats and in lighting
railroad trains.

BIRDS THAT LIVE CENTURIES
Average Life Of Australian Coekatoo
Said to Be Hundred
Years.

Melbourne, Australia.-Among the
wild birds of tropical countries whose
average life is said to be close to one
hundred years are said to be the
cockatoos of Australia, a handsome
bird belonging to the same family as

is readily tanned and taught TO do
tricks which many domesticated birds
and animals are unable to accom-
plish.
The cockatoo. particularly the yell
low-crested bird, is one of the most
intelligent of the birds of the world,
and while it mey seem strange TO
some, it is fact that by kindness and
excellent treatment cockatoo can be

A lawyer should only seek justice for
his clients. BY obtaining an acquittal for
a guilty man he has defeated justice.
Suppose lawyer knows his client is
guilty, and if convicted the sentence must
be imprisonment; but he obtains a verdict
of acquittal. The client is turned loose on
society, and commits other crimes while he
ought to have been serving time for the
first crime, is not the lawyer partly respcn'
sihle for his crimes?
The knowledge that they can hire great
lawyers to defend them has given ercou1-
agement to criminals all over our land. 1t

The manufacturers and other business
men of this country would like to have
business more rushing and not so quiet as
it is at present. They can easily bring about
such condition of affairs, as it is a simple
matter. All they need to do is to increase
the wages of the producers so they will
have the money to buy back more of the
things they have produced. That would
relieve the present stringency and times
would become easier. Those who own the
machines that the workers use for produc-
ing certain articles are all the time storing

SUFFRAGE DEFEATED

Complete Returns From the State Show 4
Small Majority Against the Amendment
After see saving for two weeks il
looks as il the amendment to the con
stitution providing for equal suffrage
has been defeated by majority Of
bout 500 in the entire state.
First indications were that the
mendment had been adopted by sub.
stantial majority and il was So an.
nounced Then came rumors that
many counties were holding back re-.
turns and accusations were made that
fraud was intended
Governor Osborn took oounizance oI
the situation and issued an ultimatum
to the interests supposed to be adverse
to the proposition, that fraud in con
nection with the counting of reporting
of the vote would not be passed over
lightly.
The brewery interests are credited
with being opposed 10 the proposition,
fearing that its adpotion would result
in prohibition law being passed
Whether this accusation has any basis
of fact has not been shown and il is
probable that exaR gerations have been
made ON both sides OF the controversy
40 that great deal of prejudice has
been aroused
In Saginaw county there are claims
made that the vote was not correctly
counted and recount was sought but
latest reports are that the attorney
generals department mas rendered an
opinion 10 the effect that there Is no
provision under the present laws for
the recount OF an amendment vote and
that any attempt 10 open the boxes and
count the ballots would be illegal.
The closeness OF the vote brings up
situation NOT heretofore experienced in
Michigan. The closest parellel Is that
which occurred when the proposition
to increase the salaries Of several state
officers was submitted number OF
years ago and fraud IN the colnt in
some of the counties resulted in three
state officers being removed from office.
The defeat OF the amendment will.
no doubt, spur those advocating the
measure 70 renewed efforts TO get M.

favor in this section and is looked up
on as a step in the right direction that
of getting the republican party closer
TO the people than it has been while il
possessed such large majorities in the
legislature.
The election OF SO many democrats
and bull moosers will serve to put the
republican party in Michigan ON it's

Michigan Oil

There is considerable excitement in
the state Just now over the discovery
of oil in the vicinity of Saginaw and
an immense tract of lands belonging to
the state of Michigan has been optioned
TO explorers for oil. The search for oil
In Michigan has been going on inter
mittently for years but il was only re-
Gently that success was met with.
How extensive the oil area is has by no
means been determined and it is pro-
bable that there will be lot OF wild
eating IN oil explorations in the i'm.
mediate future.
Should the extensive tracts Of land
which Is state owned show oil in pay
ing volume it will be as grand thing
as the iron ore lands have proved 20 be
10 the state OF Minnesota.
One significant clause in the contract
By when the explorers gain the right
10 operate upon state owned land is
that all oil discovered must be refined
within the state thus assuring 10 Mich
igan the benefit Of this forry Of natural
resource.
