PYRAMID OF GIZEH
NO LONGER ENIGMATIC.
Unexpected Conclusions.

Unexpected Conclusions.
The very stones of the Great Pyramid
of Gizeh are crying out in no uncer-
tain tones. Every inch of the massive
structure, with unerring precision, re-
veals the solutions to problems which
for centuries civilized nations have
spent fabulous sums in vain to find
and which men of science have encoun-
tered hardships to analyze.

An Extraordinary Migration.
One of the greatest mysteries to
scientists, one for which there
seems to be no reasonable explana-
ton, is that concerning the migra-
ton of the lemming, or Norway rat.
Instead Of taking place once year,
these migrations occur only once in
eleven years. When the time comes
for the exodus the little animals
journey westward from Scandina-
via, allowing nothing to stop their
movements, which virtually amount
to headlong flight. They swim
the lakes and rivers and climb the
highest mountains in incalculable
numbers, devastating the whole
country through which they travel.
Naturalists attribute the movement
to some inherited memory of a
flight to escape an expected cat
aclysm, but this seems somewhat
farfetched.

BR|GANDAGE IN CHINA
(Continued from Page One.)

soldiers, though sufficiently numerous, are not making any serious efforts. They have been trying ostensibly for several months to round up the brig ands. vet walled towns are still being besiegcd. captured and footed by them.
 A missionary in Honon city des- cribes how band two thousand strong impressed villagers to carry fuel up to the gate of q town barred against them, in order to burn down the gate so that they might enter and loot the place The villagers were lit erly between two fires. for when they approached the gate they were shot at by the soldiers garrisoning the town and if they refused to advance the brigands laid them low.
 Within hearing of the walls of Picking village blundcrbusses can be heard nightly By firing at intervals their old time guns, sometimes so large that two or more men are required to carry them, the villagers try to scare off the robbers. This summer q Vil- lage within a few minutes walk ot a group of temples occupied by some American and British families in the western hills outside of Picking. was plundered by a band of mounted men and one or two villagers were shot. Much more valuable loot and even ra nsom money might have been ob- taincd by an attack on the temples, but though the guns were heard nightly by the foreign women and children, they spent their summer in the hills with but little fear of attack. Their con lidence was due to the fact that the people. including brigands. of the prov ince have 2 great respect for the abil- ity of the foreigner to shoot
 The temples which the foreigners occupy in the summer were headquar- ters of the Boxers in 1900. and scv- eral encounters with the Boxers. signaIy disastrous for the latter, took place in the neighborhood Further more, a detachment of troops from one or more of the legation guards gener- ally goes into comp in one of this group of temples Generally each of the American companies takes a month out there at different times during the summer.

BOB SMITH AT
 HIGH SCHOOL
Messenger of Mirth to De liver Lecture on Bob Fay Tor and Jim Riley in the High School Auditorium Tonight

A little taste of good thing creates some desire for a big taste of the same thing. Which is not alone an axiom; it is a fatality of American weakness. Seeing which, the psychological side of the boosters of the Robert Oden smith entertain ment at the High school this evening, came to the top, and these boosters Michaels and Elliott of the H. S, arranged that the students might have an opportunity to taste the good things Bob" Smith can give them, prior to putting the main course of the evening on the board.
 Robert Oden Smith, who will talk to the students of the school and to their friends this evening, will go to the High today and at one of the famous assemblies there he will tell the students something of himself. of Riley and of Taylor
 Riley and Taylor are the main topics of the evening. and MT. Smith will be invited to arrange his pro gram so that the two will be about evenly divided. He has complete lee lures on each of the men, and he has some which are not so complete on either but which give the hearers complete idea of both. He can tell lots of things about Bob Taylor and James Whitcomb Riley which the general public do not know, because he knows them now and has known them for a long time When the former was living. he knew him per sonally, and he has the tangible Taylor attitude and atmosphere with him. Riley. who is still living, well comes the voice of Bob smith as he welcomes no other for Smith is one of Rney's best interpreters
 Introductory to the Smith part of the program. the First Infantry band, complimentary to the Coyotes band and to help the Athletic association in raising the price of the Prescott trip for the band, will offer an hours program of semi popular and classic selections
 The band concert will begin in the auditorium of the High school at I:30 o'clock sharp, and smith will come to the. front just one hour later

RAIN ALL OVER
 THE WATERSHED
Heavy Precipitation is Re ported at Dam, and Belief That Entire Basin Was Wet by Abundant Rains Last Evening

The showers which wet Phoenix last evening and again later in the night were but tag lends of the same big general storm that practically covered Arizonas central mountain chain. And as the basin which feeds Roose- welt lake lies in that mountain chain, there was water stored for the use of the farmers. Roosevelt reported last night that it had poured down steadily all day at the dam and that it had rained heavily to the north and west and that the watershed was damp from one end to the other.
 Perhaps not all of this rain will run off, but will merely soak the sur face, preparing it to receive the next precipitation and send it down in freshets to add cash to the funds in the water-bank
 The shower of last evening was the heaviest experienced in Phoenix since the rains began a week ago. It soaked the streets, and produced the first real muddy condition. Still, it was not wet enough to be uncOm- fortable.
 Reports rom the west say tle ASi1 F'ria is running full flood from the heavy rains in the northwest hills, but this precipitation adds nothing to the valleys wealth. But the fact it raii ed enough to cause the dry river ~o flood at this time of the year is en- couraging. for it shows that there is moisture to be had shift to the east in the bulk of the storm and the irrigation project would get practic- .llv inc entire benefit of the rainfall.

LEGAL NOTICE PROCLAMATION
State of Arizona,

 Executive Department Since the citizens of Arizona last gave thanks in unison to tine Creator fer bountiful harvest and other hiessings mercifuIly bestowed, the cycle of a year has nearcd completion bringing to every state and nation it's burden of disaster. or rightful gift oI plenty; to every human heart it's share of gladness or of sorrow, its allotted portion of ecstasy or pain. Wfthstanding every menace of a civil and external nature. Arizona, with + relatively ideal government, in which both men and women, with equal en- franchiscclnent and rcsponsibility, co- operate for the general good has passed triumphant each separate crisis. while preserving peace and its attendant prosperity; and garncrinE from every source of plenty the wealth that Nature had to give, has used these natural treasures with judicious Hberality; has honorcd toil with it's just return, and has reward ed thrift with the satisfaction of tenn Ioral needs, industry with it's incre- ment, and the pursuit of happiness with the object of it's quest.
 It is fitting. therefore, that Ari- zona's citizens should feel grateful to the "Giver of all good and perfect things" for the prosperity and peace that has been accorded the common wealth in which they live and labor. Nor should the harvest season be re- Garded only pcr1od when thanks are rendered for blessings previously conferred, but should rather be also. q time for entering upon q neV re solve to so manifest our gratitude for material advantages divinelE bestowed as to cxempIify the principle of thrift so worthily extoled as a hu- man virtue in the familiar adage. Saving goes before security, happi- ness and good citizenship"
 Now, therefore, in recognition of the many benefits conferred by an all- wise Providence, in conformity with long established custom and pursuant to the proclamation of the President of the United States l. Geo. w. F. Hunt, governor of Arizona, do here hy designate Thursday, November Twenty seventh, as Thanksgiving Day and l earnestly recommend that, on the day thus set apart, all who ac- knowledge allegiance to our state shall do that which lies within their power to ameiorate the hard condi- tons of those who are heavily bur Gened, to invoke on the suffering and the poor the wise beneficence of a kindly Deity; to extend charity and helpful sympathy to those of our fel- lowmen upon whom bitter circum- stance has laid d heavy hand: to commemorate at altar and at fireside with appropriate ceremonies and fes- tivities that spirit of our forefathers which found sincere expression in the celebration of the first Thanksgiving on New Englands rugged shore in 1921, to the end that all shall be mindful of the benevolence and omni- present love of our Supreme Being
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the state of Arizona to be affixed
