How Fast Can a Duck Fly?

\ very interesting account Is gwen
in the September Outing on timing
the speed of ducks. The author says
in part;
"Seven green-wing teal were timed
at 80 seconds, or 81 miles per hour,
and d pair of green-wings at 40 sec
onds. or 90 miles per hour. All this
time my farmer boy had been doing
his best: he shot at them all, no mat
ter how high they were. The large
flocks of bluebills scarcely raised
when he shot, so high were they So
far he had not killed duck, although
in one of the mallard flocks he had
made one of them take to the weeds.
| was watching a little bunch ap-
proach him when up went the flash
and one of them crumpled out. In
exactly twenty seconds | checked off
nine spoonbills, giving them the blue
ribbon for the day, with speed of
1879 miles per hour. Whether the fact
that one Of their number was killed
made the difference, do not know
1t did not have this effect on tie
bunch Of mallards. When one OF
their flock was hit. he did not 90
straight down as the spoonbill did, bdt
think that the effect on the floct
would have been the same"

The Royal Singer
of House Members
(By Burton h. Standish)
Written for the United Press }

Written for the United PreSS.)
Washington, Oct 1.-For pure lyric
beauty, for sonorous Sublimity of
sound and for multitudinous melody of
language, you have got to hand it to
Augustus Owsley Stanley, represea-
tative in congress from Kentucky.
Representative Sheppard of Texas
used to be the real singer of the
house; used to have the most gor-
geous metaphors and the most aston
inishing SMILES. When he smote the
Tyre and whanged off toward empy-
rean heights, la Pegasus, believe US.
it was some speech. Then Sheppard
went and got himself elected to the
senate, where the speech is mostly
soporitic and saponaceous and nobody
ever thinks of tumbling around in ora
torical acrobaticS because of the
shroud of dignity that envelops the
sacred senatorial atmosphere. When
Sheppard used to put on the tremuio
stop and immortalize-well, it was
some occasion in the house and the
laughter and tears swept the audience
and the galleries.
1t was sad occasion when Shep-
pard departed from the Somber dig
nifty of the senate. He had a mon
opoly of the language stuff in the
house, Nobody dared to dispute his
sovereignty. He was there. Repre-
sentative John Wesley Gaines, who re-
tired to dear old Tennessee in 1909,
, tried it for a while, but failed lament
ably. making an attempt to have his
voice cover up the holes in his vocaD-
ulary After John Wesley fell down,
nobody had the heart to oppose Shep-
pard And when he left, the house
found itself without any champion
word picture artist-or at least K
thought there want no sich animal
in its midst.
That was before Augustus Owsley
Stanley got busy there the other day
debating currency. Stanley wears the
crown of the late departed Sheppard
now. He'll probably continue to tilt
it over his ears for some time. He
came near beating Sheppard's best
little fragments.
He started out to tell the Repubi
cans what he thought OF Representa-
tive Mendell. Republican. for having
the nerve to criticize the Democratic
secret caucus methods. Then he pulled
out that wavy-voiced stuff and pro-
ceeded thusly:
1t would be better to have some
crimson courtesan lead modest maid

escaped convict pose as the arbiter
and censor for honest men-than TO

BY unanimous consent the most un-
usual family record ever discovered by
the pension office is divulged in a let
ter from a man who is one of trip
let's. He had twenty two twin broth
ers and sisters, whose mother was one
of twins and whose fathers first two
wives were twin sisters. The owner
of this unusual family record is Dr..
William Warren. 1916 Locust street,
st. Joseph, Mo-, the only survivor Of
a family of twenty-five, and one OF
thirteen sons who served during the
civil war in the Union army.
The provisions of the new pension
law requiring certified information as
to the date of birth, in order to fix
the amount of the age pension, caused
the pension office to write DR.. Warren
for his family history. In stating his
inability to find exact information III
the family Bible as to the date of his
birth. DR.. Warren made this reply to
the pension commissioners office;
Il do not know whether there was
family record of the births of all my
fathers children, of whom there were
twenty-five by three wives, who were
sisters. The first two wives were
twins; and the third wife was one of
twins My mother had triplets, three
boys, of whom | was one. She had
no other children All the other
wives children were twins. By the
three wives there were thirteen boys,
all of whom were soldiers All of the
twenty five children are dead but l.
Dr. Warren was given his pension

ELECTRICITY is practically the
exception to the rule that every
thing costs more than it did ten or
twenty years ago. Everything else
seems to have gone up, and is 60
ing up, but electricity is ten times
as cheap as it was twenty five years
ago and is still dropping in place.
The actual cost of production has
not diminished materially, if at all i,
but concentration of operation and
of the facilities by which it is pro-
duced has had its effect. 1t is a
fact, however, that partly because
of this and partly because of i'm
provements in lamps and lamp ma
terial, one can buy now for 10 cents
the same amount of light which in
1885 cost 81 90. In 1885 you paid
81 90 for 800 candle hours of light,
while now the same S1.0O buys 5000
candle hours. Here it is interest
ing to note that in the 80 years
preceding 1911 the yearly manu-
facture and sale of electric lamps
increased from about 10000 in
this country to 100, 900, 900.

THE l. w. w. agitators have
shaken the unfriendly dust of Du-
luth from their feet and have hied
themselves to greener fields. The
Duluth strike was not altogether to
the liking of the agitators as the
men were perfectly satisfied to work
at the wages in force. The only
victims of the alluring prospects
held out by the agitators were a
few Young men without family or
other interests who found it easy to
Law off. The I. w. w. mouth
workers pulled their freight" when
the kopecs were not coming fast
enough. The whole unsavory outfit
is now in the harvest fields of the
west where they are planting
seeds of discord among the harvest
hands. If the farmers know when
they are we'll off they will catch the
Il Won't Work" bunch and throw
them in the thrash machines. If
Duluth had done what was right
the whole bunch should be dump

THE Ely fire department boys
deserve all possible credit for the
mastery manner in which they
handled the fire Sunday. Three
minutes after the alarm was sound
ed, four streams of water were
flooding the burning building and
in less than fifteen minutes the fire
was under control. The fremen
worked like a machine and supple
mented by many of the citizens and
the heavy pressure from the pumps
thev did wonders. The old dry
frame building with its combus-
tibles In the interior burned like
wildfre and considering the start
it had before the alarm was sound
ed the saving of tha building was a
remarkably able piece of work.
The Ely volunteer fire department
has always been recognized as
second to no other volunteer de-
parument in the state and superior
to many of the smaller paid de-
partments. Sundays fire proved
this and the boys were roundly
congratulated by many strangers
from the larger cities present at the
time. Naturally there were few
fault finders but these are few and
far between. These same fellows
knock" everything else in town.
The nozzlemen of the departm ent
should be given a list of the fresh
ones and should be instructed to
turn the hose on them whenever
and wherever they appear at fire
