SERVANTS STRANGE STORY
 EXPLAINED BY NEWSPAPER

Berlin, August 2o-A preacher at Innsbruck. Germany, recently declared that while Pope Plus x was engaged in prayer ha fell into all ecstasy and rose several feet into the air
 Cases deviation, technical word for the phenomenon, are recorded i'll the lives of many of the saints; but if a writer i'll the New Century, a journal of marked anti-papal tendencies, Is to be believed, the story of Plus x. has a very simple explanation.
 The Pope, it says, was working ln bis study, and happened to re- quire a book from a shelf which was beyond his reach. He these- fore, climbed ou a chair to reach it :.
 A servant i'll an ante-room, from motives of curiosity, not perhaps unmixed with piety, looked throug b the keyhole to see what the Pope did when he was alone. To his amazement he saw the white robed figure of the pontiff floating a couple of feet above the floor. The fact was that between him and Plus X. stood a desk which hid the chair upon which the Pope was standing.
 It never occurred to the servant that so great person as the Pope would resort to so simple an expe- dlent to get book, Hence he jumped to the conclusion that he was witnessing the phenomenon of levitation.

FEARED THE HAWK, BUT
 TRUSTED RUTHLESS HAN

That even instinct errs was evi denced last Monday, when a bunch of ptarmigan alighied ill the busi- ness section of Flat City, to escape capture by ferocious hawk. To the ptarmigan the hawk was deadly foe, although he would have been satisfied with but one of the flight; but the bi, ds thought they would be safer with man, and evidences of their misplaced conf dence garuished more than one table that evening. C R. Peck shot two of the birds opposite his Front street store, a dog caught another, the druggist got third, and Pete Pierce picked one off the roof of his store. The birds were terrified and dazed. Hearing SO many shots the citizens rushed to their doors, 10 see the rare spectacle of hunted ptarmigan taking refuge among treacherous humans. It was a sad error in judgment oil the part of the ptarmigan.
