WHIPPLE SLATED AS
 MILITARY HOSPITAL

According to private advices re- ceived few days ago from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, it is semi-of- ficially learned that Fort Whipple is assured of being occupied in short time as base hospital by the war departemnt. The purpose is to util- ize it mainly for the care of those afflicted with tubercular and kindred diseases, of whom there are said to be many thousands. There are also many other subjects who are still waiting to be cared for as matter of duty.
 This action is prompted by the fact that many recruits having been exam ined and placed on the reserve list, with illness of an incipient nature and which, it is believed, will readily yield to proper treatment. There are sev- eral of this class who have been re- turned, and it is in appreciation of their invaluable rating the war de- partment is to act immediately to restore them to normal condition. Fort Whipple has been prominently placed before the medical department of the army as an advantageous loca- tion for the purposes decided upon, and with final and favorable action decided upon, it is believed that early this spring will see this post occupied to it's capacity of about 800 people.
 Many suggestions have been made for the utilization of this post in the past two years, by civil undertakings, extending even to an offer made for its purchase, but in each instance the government has emphatically declin- ed to entertain any proposal made for this property to be utilized for any civilian purpose, even to the har- boring of the national guard of Ari- zona.-Prescott Journal-Miner.

ORIGIN OF SALUTE TOLD BY
 UNIVERSITY MILITARY HEAD

The University of Arizona Military department has had called to it's at tention by recent publication a sup posed origin of the military salute. The navy soldiers say that the salute originated in the days of the tourna- ment, at which queen of beauty was chosen to preside. The knights and their esquires and all who took part in the tourney, on presenting them selves to the queen, lifted each one hand level with the brows as though dazzled by the light of her presence. Although its significance has been forgotten, that same salute is now used by military men in recognition of superior rank, the marine off cers say.
 The authentic origin as given by the war department is considerably different, and is as follows:
 In the old days the free men of Europe were all allowed to carry weapons, and when they met, each would hold up his right hand to show that they met as friends. Slaves or serfs, however, were not allowed to carry weapons, and slunk past a free man without making any sign. In this way, the salute came to be the symbol or sign by which the soldiers (free men) might recognize each oth- CT. The lower classes began to imi- tate the soldiers in this respect, all though in clumsy, apologetic way, and thence crept into civil life the custom of raising the hand, or nod ding as one passed an acquaintance. The soldiers, however, kept their in- dividual salute, and purposely made it intricate and difficult to learn in or der that it could be acquired only by the constant training all soldiers received. To this day, armies have preserved their salute, and when cor rectly done, it is at once recognized and never mistaken for that of civ ilian.

Bird Calls and Their Names.

Most Of us know the chickadee when
we hear him calling, over and over,
"Chick-a-dee, dee dee, Chick-a-dee, dee,
dee!" But when he sings his clear
whistiing note, Phoebe, Phoebe" we
are likely to mistake him for the
phoebe bird. The chickadee stays in
the North IN winter, and the phoebe
does not come North till the early
spring. the phoebe bird sings its
name over and over, a very swee. but
penetrating sound. The peabody bird
says, Peabody, peabody, peabody"
over and over. in rather sensciess
way az II he went round In circle.
Another bird that sings his name is
Bob White. the quail. Only he often
rays Poor Bob White." His notes
20 up and down, and are stronger than
the notes OF the smaller birds and may
be heard at a long distance. OF course
these birds do not really sing their
names! But people listening 10 them
have fancied that these names are
what the notes sound like. and so they
have given the bird the name!
