Breaking q Looking Glass.

The breaking Of a looking glass su-

of years ago it used to be a common
belief that those who wished to harm
others could do so by getting pictures
or making images of their enemies and
destroying them. The destruction Of
the picture would be followed by the
death of its original. Even the vic
Tins reflection in a mirror was enough
for the purpose. provided the mirror
was promptly broken.

RAJ DREADED ALASKAN BEARS
Volcanic Ash Brings Hardship to Bruin
on Kadiak Island.

Volcanic ASH brings 1srosntp TO 6rutn
on Kadiak Island.
Seward, Alaska.-It will take more
than two or three years Of enforced
diet of straight meat and fish and a
loss of hair to seriously set back the
hear population Of Kadiak island, ac-
cording to D. Winn Of the United
States bureau of fisheries.
Kadiak island, says Mr.. VIM, in
1912 was covered with volcanic ash at
no point at a depth less than eleven
inches. The ash killed all vegetation,
and as all bears are fond Of a mixed
diet of meat, fish and vegetables, they
found 1913 and 1914 unpleasant from
a dietary standpoint.
Another effect of the fall of ash, &C.
cording to Mr.. Winn, was the havoc II
created with the furry coats Of the an
finals. Bald headed bears are now a:
common on Kadiak island as bald
headed men In the front row of q
musical comedy. The ash sifted down
on to the skins of the animals as 1t
fell, and the first rain turned it to I've,
which had the effect of almost tanning
the skins of the bears while yet part
of their personal effects.

Wichita, Kan.-In order to become
a more proficient violin artist Mark
Sandfort, a member Of an orchestra
here, had a piece Of flesh taken from
each Of his six fingers. The incisions
were drawn together and sewn with
horsehair. The operation was perform
ed by DR.. 81. S. Hickok, and Sandfort
will be able to remove the bandages
soon.
Sandfort has won a reputation as a
violinist. However, his execution Of
musical selections was not as good as
be desired 1t to be. He hit upon a
plan. He would have his fingers whit
tied down. He waited until the season
closed and had the operation per-
formed.
According to physicians, this is the
first time that an operation Of this
kind has been performed.

 It was stated. however that no ac- tion towards remodeling the present system could be taken for several months, inasmuch as four or five paw ing projects were now under way and which must, of necessity, be paid for
 under the old system.
 Action was deferred on the matter of awarding the city insurance con- tracts for the next year. Two bids
