How Houses Explode.

The most remarkable phenomenon
connected with tornadoes is the ex-
plosion Of houses, which literally
burst, scattering their fragments in all
directions. Sometimes substantial
dwellings are carried high into the air
and then explode. It is cow under
stood that this is due to the fact that
the funnel cloud" (revolving at a rate
Of at least 500 miles an hour) has a
vacuum inside. Thus it sucks up
everything in its path, even emptying
wells. 1t sucks all the air from around
a house over which it passes, and the
house "a vacuum being thus created
outside Of it) promptly explodes, ow-
ing to the pressure Of the air, at 30
pounds to the square inca, from with

Mammal Got Into Trouble Through
Nosin0 Around Too P~romiseuous-
Iy Among Strangers.

Seals are very plentiful among the
Orkneys, and are sometimes caught
when asleep on the skerries. They are
attracted by musical sounds, and at
n time a considerable number were
said, to make their appearance in the
bay Of Hoy when the bell Of the parish
church close by was rung.
Seals are usually much on their
guard against the approach Of men,
but when unmolested frequently come
close to boats or people ashore. An
instance Of this occurred recently off
Skraill bay, in Sandwich, where some
yawls were at paddock fishing, a writer
In the Edinburgh Scotsman says.
A seal made its appearance, and
showed great curiosity as to what was
going on. 1t swan repeatedly between
two boats a short distance apart, and
ultimately devoted its attention to one
of them, diving under the boat and
coming up first on one side and then
on the other. At last it made a spring
at a fish which was being hauled out
of the water on a hand line. 1t failed
to get a proper hold, but the fish was
thrown back to afford another chance,
which the seal quickly seized. 1t kept
so near that eventually one of the fish,
ermen got hold of its tail, and by the
assistance of another it was taken into
the boat.
It was q young one. about three feet

follows:
Inquiries from several states indi-
cate that impression exists that the
proposed change in the regulations
involving the classifications of regis

present quota is in camp. This impress
sion is a mistake. The entire first
quota will be chosen under the regula-

Here's Joe Cutting in all his war
paint of former days when he was
rated as one of the fast halfbacks of
Western college teams.
Joe has been working with the Will
liston high school team about two
years. He brought to the work a
football career rich in experience
gained under masters like Dobie, DR..
Williams and other lesser lights. And
he learned early in the game that any
thing we'll won is fairly won. That
is one reason why officials and spec
tators marvelled Saturday when they
saw the Williston lads, in their first
big game, fight like old timers and
fight fairly every minute.
Mr.. Cutting works in perfect har-
mony with the school authorities in
the Clean athletics ideals and to the
football spirit in this school may be
charged the success of several of the
players who were slow in studies be-
fore a place on the team loomed up.
And also, by the way, thru Mr.. Cut
ting and Supt. L. A. White and score
of earnest high school students Will
liston has experienced some of the
best kind of town advertising this
week all over North Dakota.

liston elevens, bitter rivals for years
They will face each other in what
will mean either the elimination OF
the Williams county lads from the
state title race and the boosting OF
the Minot stock to championship cal
ibre or the clinching Of the state title
for Williston.
For many years Minot and Willis
ton teams have fought each other des-
perately on the high school gridiron.
Interest in every contest between
these schools has always been at fever
heat and this year the enthusiasm is
expected to be even greater. With a
green eleven Minot will tackle squad
ron of veterans, every player on the
visiting team being seasoned per-
former and possessing full knowledge
of the Pigskin sport. Williston will
outweigh the locals and with the ex-
perience of Coach Cutting, former
Minnesota player to aid them should
make a loud noise on the local field.
Since the As to 0 trimming Willis
ton handed to Fargo last Saturday the
Minot gridders are determined to
fight to the last minute and if pos
sible conquer the foe from Williams
county. There is just bare possi-
bility that Kastner's aggregation may
spring the unlocked for, but at any
rate the team intends to be in there
scrapping from the time the whistle
blows until the final blast.
To prepare for the march Of the
Willistonians the defense of the To-
Gals will be strengthened as much as
possible and it is planned to have the
Alumni men launch terrific attacks
against the high school defense. In
this way it is hoped to bolster up the
teams defense and give Minot a fair
chance to meet the enemy half way.
