Although the tragedy has created a

There is no concealment of the fact,

ment of indemnity is likely to arouse
public opinion here to the point where

One Of the greatest charms OF bush
life in Australia. and especially IN
Queensland. is the melody OF the
birds. which are among the most beau
tiful In the world. A movement Is now
ON foot to prevent the destruction OF
the native birds-at least those which
do no damage.
The children are being taught TO
encourage birds to build their nests
near the habitations Of men and to
feed them, 80 that they will not de-
mart for the unsettled parts OF Aus
tralia, where they can seldom or never

in. the bush is the Tyre bird. and it

has become SO rare. Its striking
plumage has been largely response
HE for it's downfall. The gorges along
the mountain slopes where the coastal
rivers take their rise are its favorfte

are translated into millimetere by the
delicate needle on the dial.
In order to make thorough record
both the systolic and diastolic, or
maximum and minimum, pressures
ILust be taken. The former is pro-
duced by the forward and the latter
by the backward stroke of the heart.
1t is we'll established that the nor
NAL maximum, or systolic blood pres
sure in adults ranges from los to 145
millimeters. Suppose the manometer
is applied over the artery of man
still in his twenties. The hand on the
dial goes up to about 40. What's the
verdict? That young fellows blood
pressure is perfectly normal. and the
chances are. even If any other examin-
alton by other methods is made. moth
ing will be found wrong with his heart
or kidneys. This test should always
be made before anyone takes up ath-
letic work Of any kind.
Suppose, on the other hand, that a
man little over forty has his blood
pressure taken, and the hand on the
dial turns as high as 1856 or 100, then
the probabilities are that there Is some
disease hidden away in his system,
though he may never have complained
of ill health in his life. At the best
guess, his state of health would not be
above suspicion. and would require a
further search by other means.
Suppose again that some third indi-
vidual around the age OF fifty under

dition. and after the usual pounding
and sounding" in every possible way
nothing is found wrong with him. He
beams with satisfaction; 80 far all is
we'll. Then the manometer is brought
forth and carefully applied, and the
hand moves up to 1856. What then?
Even with no other manifestations Of
trouble, the chances are about even
that, unless he adopts some means to
combat this high pressure 1t IL
possible to do-he will develop in the
next year or two either a hardening"

blood pressure has been accurately
measured. The dictum holds good for
all individuals, but particularly for
those over forty. Those who value
health for its own sake should well
come q new method of estimation.
But the method scores in another
way. Where a correct estimation OF
ones physical condition is related
closely to dollars and cents, as In life
insurance. this gospel of blood pres
sure cuts q very important fgure-in
fact, few of the more progressive
companies will not accept risk"
above the age of forty until they feel
safe on this particular.
1t should not be understood by this
that blood pressure itself Is necessarily
something harmful, because every per-
son. normal or otherwise, has It. Only
when 1t is found to be unusually high"
is 1t to be taken seriously. A COM
'parison. which illustrates the point
very clearly. is the pressure exerted
by water when passing through an or
binary garden hose. In our bodies the
hose is represented by an artery, and
the pressure Is caused by the heart
forcing the blood through this.
Pressure<is less where fluid is pass
ing through flexible tube. because
the walls, owing to their elasticity,
offer little resistance. But with the
same force behind the pressure Is In
creased II the walls Of the tube are I'M
yielding. Tubes of rubber and glass
are excellent illustrations Of such con-
trasts. Where hardening Of the
arteries-due to old age, govt. alcohol
ism or other excesses-has set IN, the
blood pressure as a consequence IS
y high. Too much pressure, high

artery. II this occurs in the brain. we
have apoplexy.

called the manometer, has recently
