DEATH ARE GIVEN; HE
DIED FROM COLLISION

BERLIN (by wireless An eye
witness account of the death of Capt.
Boelke was given today by the Over
seas News Agency as follows:
Capt Boelke met with the accident
in which he was killed at 5 O'Clock
on the afternoon of Oct 81. He had
just disabled hostile machine in a
fierce aerial combat. At the ccnclu-
sion of the battle, another German ae-
roplane touched Boelke's machine and
part of a plane of the latter was torn
of.
capt Boelke descended swiftly in
a narrow spiral for some distance, but
at height of about 200 yards his ma
chine suddenly fell. The body of the
aviator was not touched by projectiles.
After having defeated forty adver-
saries, an accident terminated his life.
He died unvanquished"
In its account OF the funeral of
Capt. Boelke, the Lokal-Anzeiger says
that at the grave, Lieut-Col Thorn
sen, chief Of the German aerial fleet,
made the promise: 81 shall become a
Boelke."
The streets of Dessau, Bcelke's
home, were thronged. A squadron of
ayiators flew along the route of the
funeral procession to the cemetery.

In view OF protests from the Ha-

Standard Oil Company, Hilo, the land
board in session today, after more than
an hours discussion, declined to take
action 81 t-s-

that the board could better act after
the representatives, of the oil COM
pany and the interested parties in
Hilo had talked over the situation to-

William Campbell, who brought the
protests from Hilo, stated that he
thought satisfactory arrangement to
both sides can be made as soon as
such conferences have been held. He
said the people of Hilo want to safe
guard against interfering with future
work in wharf construction, and that
they also favored selling outright to
the company rather than leasing, be.

that his firm favors buying rather than

as to appropriate $4,000 for modern
fireproof construction even If only
lease is secured. if the company
builds tanks, he said, every precau-
ton will be taken, including the build
ing of a concrete wall about the plant.
Some question as to whether the In

CATHEDRAL OF SALT.
Church of St. Anthony Hewn Out of
Rock-Salt.

Every world-traveler knows that
some of the greatest wonders of art
and nature lie altogether out of the
beaten track of sight-seers,' says ST.
Nicholas. And no stranger example
could be found than the marvellous
rock-salt mines of WieiicZka and
Bochnia, in the valley of the Vistula
on the north slope Of the Carpathi-
ans, a few miles off the Cracow-Lem-
berg railroad.
The announcement was made over
a year ago that the Russians, in their
advance upon Cracow, had captured
Wieliczka; but if this was true, they
were driven back from it not long
after, and thus lost possession Of a
valuable prize of war, for Wieliczka
salt mines are really one of the Won
ders of the world, Indeed Cracow' s
great interest to the tourist and visi-
tor has long been in these mines
which are situated some eight miles
from the city, and easily reached by
train or carriage.
''On great holidays friends of the
miners and visitors generally assem-
Bile on the station platform, where is
cafe seating 400 persons. And in
a gallery above-of course cut in
the salt-an ochestra of miners plays
selections to the passengers who are
about to make a trip altogether
unique. Just westward of the sta
ton are two beautiful grottoes, re.
spectively the Rudolph and Sephanie
connected by tunnel filled with salt
water sixteen feet deep.
Farther along, this broadens out
into lake, and rising out of the wa
ter is colossal statue Of St. John
with lovely shining salt stalactites
all round him. Immediately beyond
one enters the marvellous cathedral
of St. Anthony, with altars, statues
columns, and so on, all hewn from
the sixteenth century onward out o1
ruby-red rock-salt.
"You can imagine no experience
more impressive than to enter this
crystal church behind party of mer
provided with flaming pine torches
and punches of magnesium ribbon.

THE CAUSE OF HEADACHES.
Eyes or Teeth May Be Sounding a
Warning.

Perhaps the commonest of all COM
plants is the headache. There are
headaches and headaches. Volumes
could we'll be written about them and
their many causes. -
AS tall oaks spring from little
acorns, headaches rise from such
things as lack of sleep, infections
such as decayed teeth, ear troubles
bad eyesight, improper eyeglasses, ex'
citement, hurry, overeating, poor di-
gestion, improper clothing, gall stones
and other such disorders.
When you strain your eyes to read
a sign, book, or a newspaper while
riding on a car a headache often re-
suits. This does not usually happen
to those few and fortunate persons
whose eyes are of exactly the right
shape and size. Nor does it always
happen to shortsighted persons, but
it constantly happens to those whose
eyes are what are called "longsight-
ed" They can see clearly at long
distances, but for sight at short dis.
tances they need to strain the eyes
in order to see clearly. This strain
almost always gives rise to head
ache. The remedy is to wear glasses
that do the excessive work imposed
upon the muscles inside the eye, and
so relieve the strain and the conse.
quent headache.
Headache powders are not design,
ed to remove the cause of headache
They merely dull the fabric of life
so that you do not feel the pain and
so very often persuade you to give
up attending to yourself as you would
if the pain were still there. The
powder does nothing for decayed
teeth, the strained eyes or the over
loaded stomach that may be the rea!
cause Of the headache.
Some persons get into such condi'
tion that they think they cannot dc
without headache powders, and grad
ually more harm is done than they
realize. Of course, in order to cure
a headache effect-its cause
must first be removed.
A visit to an oculist may reveal the
cause of your headache. Proper eye
glasses should be obtained if they are
needed. When the eyes seem tired
they may be bathed in a soothing
wash of boric acid and water. .
Fresh air does a great deal for
headaches. Correct breathing also
does it's share, as we'll as careful
routine of living. Loss of sleep, ir-
regular hours, high tension, emotion
al excitement and the rush, hustle
and hustle do their share to encour-
age headaches.-Iris World.

Undersized Soldiers.

When, with characteristic foresight
and ingenuity, Lord Kitchener de-
cided to stretch the regulations and
recruit a battalion of men under 5
feet 8 inches in height, there were
not a few military men who laughed
at the idea. Kitchener himself was
a man of large dimensions, and it was
supposed that, like many another
general, he had weakness, for tow
ering men, Perhaps he had. But, ii
so, he also knew that it is not so
much a mans height as the quality
of his, courage that makes good
fighting man of him. At any rate, he
began to recruit his "bantams,' as
they have come to be known, and in
due time they found place in the
first line.
Now they are occasionally men
toned in the official dispatches
not, however, as being too small to
fire over the trench barricades or too
slow to cover ground in charges
where the speed of the charge plays
a large part in it's success. They are
being mentioned for their, pronounced
fighting qualities. 1t is said of them
that in leaving trenches under cover
of darkness and scouting between
trenches they are preferred to their
taller comrades. And in trench
raids they have been known to lug
back to their own trenches machine
guns which larger men left behind
because they could not drag them
over the rough ground. And in the
ordinary routine of trench fighting
the only complaint the officers have
is that the little men are too eager
to climb out and meet the enemy in
the open.
It is a matter of historical fact
that many small men have been great
soldiers. Napoleon himself would
have been lost in an ordinary crowd.
And Lord Roberts was small man,
who managed to command the af-
lection and respect of the entire
British army to a remarkable de-
gree. The present king of Italy, who
is not only by inheritance the Of
ficial head of Italy's army, but is al
so a good field general, is almost a
dwarf. There is, in brief, no reason
to believe that the short man is less
a fighter than his tall brother. He
is excluded from the standard regi-
ments simply because it is necessary
to draw the line somewhere, and in
trench warfare it is easier to han
die men of about the same height
