friends. the guest Of honor being Nine.
Bernhard The actress was dressed in
a handsome gown. which had been
made expressly for the OCCASION. At

Two of Rostand's small sons were
sitting at side table wearing new
velvet suits. also made for the Occa-

Interesting are the habits of the fly

found principally in the region of the
trade winds. "Does it rise from the
sea like a Bird" you ask. Nc. 1t
shoots out of the waves like an arrow
and with outspreading wings sails on
the wind in graceful curves, rising
sometimes, one might say. to the
height of fifteen feet. but not often SO
high, and then, lowering. it again
touches the crest of a wave and re-
news it's fight. This operation may be
repeated till it covers distance, say.
of 500 yards in the case OF the stout
est on the wing. though very often
not half that distance is covered. A
ship sailing through the trade winds
will often be visited on dark nights by
flying fish. which hit the sails or rig
ging and fall on deck. where, of course,
they soon give up life.-St- Nicholas,

big Paterson Passaic district, which
has been Democratic.
For weeks OByrne refused to take
position on the canal tolls matter at
all, bat under the constant pressure
OF the Hearst newspapers finally was
forced to take a stand one way or the
other-and elected at last to declare
for the Wilson administration.
Then the President sent the word
back home" that he wanted O'Byrne
elected, and he sent some staunch
Administration speakers into New
Jersey 10 help land the Administra-
ton champion
Drukker frankly and persistently
assumed an attitude in favor of free
tolls, and his position was made clear.
The defeat Of OByrne with all the
Administration support he had, is re-
garded In New Jersey as even more
significant of the trend of events than
is the election of Drukker.
