TALLEST FLAGP0LE ON EARTH
Stick Of Timber at Panama-Paclfic Ex-
position Worthy to Float the
Stars and Stripes.

A fitting symbol of the mighty for
ests of the West Is Astoria's fagpole,
the tallest in the world, which floats
the Stars and Stripes. 241 feet above
the exposition seawall at the corner Of
the Oregon building at the Panama-Pa-
cif1c exposition.
The stick, for 1t is single stick OF
timber, is actually 251 feet long. but
ten feet of its butt is embedded In a
200-ton block of solid concrete, which,
without other stays, holds the pole up
right against the wind.
The pole was shaped from the trunk
of Douglas fir, which, as it originally
stood In the Oregon forest, lowered
BAT feet in the air, and might have
matched it's height, though not it's
girth, against any but the loftiest of
the California sequoias.
Looking up at the great 'nagstaff 1t
is hard to realize that 1t weighs up
ward of forty-six tons, and that there
is lumber enough in 1t to build five
ordinary eight-room houses Its great
height gives It an appearance of slen-
derness and lightness.
Just to transport this pole and set
It up, Russell Hawkins and the citizens
of Astoria spent nearly enough thou
sands of dollars to build several Of the
houses its lumber might construct.

HOW BREAD GOT ITS NAME
Famous "Pumpernickel" Derived From
Humorous Remark Made by the
First Napoleon.

1.-THE fact that the German emperor
has called upon his people to eat a
new compound bread in order to hus-
band the supply of wheat in Germany"
said local baker the other. day, IS
reviving the old story as to the deriva-
ton of 'Pumpernickel' or bomber
nickel, the German brown bread
which is more or less widely known
in America. This name, so the story
runs, dates back to the invasion by
Napoleon of Germany.
After hard days journey across
German territory, Napoleon rode to
an inn by the side of the road and
calling the proprietor, ordered some
thing to eat His larder low through
the ravages Of war, the innkeeper was
able to offer the great militarist only
some coarse brown bread.
Napoleon, Struggling his shoulders,
pointed to his horse, Nicol, and said.
Bon pour Nicol-the French equiya-
lent for that is good enough for Nicol'
Whether the Frenchman finally ac-
copied the bread or went further to
look for better, the story does not
relate. 1t does say, however, that the
Germans quickly accepted this as
nickname for the bread, so confusing
the French words, though, as to max
ing the form 'pumpernickel.' Whether
or not the tale is true one can hardly
be determined, but at least it sounds
probable"

WILLS MADE IN WAR TIME
Legal Procedure Must of Necessity
Give Way to What Is Con-
venlent.

War changes many of the laws OF
peace. Even the strict laws governing
the making of wills and the inherit
ance of property have had to make
way before the exigencies of military
procedure.
The German government has pro-
vided a special decree which revolu-
tionizes the strict demands of the
statutes of peace concerning the maxi
ing of wills. AS result the German
soldiers in the field can now make
their last wills with little respect for
the ironclad requirements that hedge
the making of testament in time OF
peace.
Any officer or soldier or even anyone
in any wise attached to the mobile
military service, may write his will in
his own handwriting and sign it, even
without the presence of witnesses, and
the will is binding. A special provi-
sion, however, makes such will in
valid one year after the rehabilitation
Of the force to which the testator is at
tached. 1t becomes invalid a year
after the testator has been discharged
from such service, or il he has been
taken prisoner by the enemy, a year
after he shall have been released
In addition to this, provision is
made that where the soldier does not
write the testament in his own hand
writing, his simple signature in the
presence of one officer or two other
witnesses win be sufficient. If for any
reason he is unable to do this, or
there is no time for the preparation
of formal instrument. he may make
a verbal testament before an officer
and two witnesses.

He Reached the Limit.

The Green Bag tells of a police mag
istrate in western city who is q ma
tive of Binghamton, N. Y. Once cul-
prit, hailed into court for drunkenness,
told his honor that he had played in
brass band In Binghamton. The
judge discharged the prisoner.
Now this incident was published in
the newspapers, and during the next
six months at least five other prison
ers brought before the judge explained
that they had played in the aforesaid
band. The Judge telegraphed to an old
friend back in Binghamton asking how
many pieces were in the band The
reply came back: Nine" According
ly his honor announced himself as
follows:
Hereafter no prisoners will be dis
charged on account of former MEM
bership in the Binghamton band. The
limit has been reached"

Rides piano in storm.

A piano is handy thing aboard
ship, even if the weather is too rough
for one to play upon it, believes Cap
tain Peterson of the steamship Karen,
which arrived at New York from Ma
tanzas with sugar.
On the way up from Cuba, about
seventy miles off Cape Hatteras. a
terrific gale kicked up sea that buff
feted the vessel until her steering gear
became deranged. Repairs required
seven hours Meanwhile the Karen
dropped into the trough of the sea,
and a. great flood poured into her hold.
Mrs. Peterson's room was frequently
awash, but the shippers wife sat on
top of the piano and fooled the flood
that swirled about her.
