A PREACHER SHOOTS a BIRD in
CHURCH

June 9.-W. A. Wray, pastor of the
Baptist Church here, created a mild
sensation at his morning services yes
terday when he stopped III the midst
of his sermon, obtained a shotgun
and killed a jay bird that had been
flying around the auditorium and sing
ing while the services were in pre-
gress.
Mr.. Wray announced just before the
congregation sang a hymn that he
would kill the bird if it sang again.
The moment the congregation stopped
singing. the jay began. The preach
er Immediately stopped the services
went to his home near the church got
his gun, returned tt the church and
took his stand in the center of the
building. He fired once, the bird
tumbled to the floor and services were
resumed after the powder and smoke
had cleared away.
The State, of Columbia, S. G.. in an
editorial upon the incident, says:
1t appears from the dispatch that a
pastor in a small town in Georgia was
interrupted in the midst of his semen
by a jay bird, WHO flew in and about
the church AMI singing AS the re-
porter puts it, though no mortal ear
ever heard a jay sing. Many have
heard delightedly his weird war-ery
that is borrowed from the predatory
hawk, as a small street-prowler might
pick up and repeat the trllculenz catlls
OF a bruiser. But he has no song.
If the Being the preacher was wor-
shipping watches over the fall of every
sparrow, then the death fall eli this
brilliant and daring adventurer, this
finely named Cyanocitta Cristata-
Cyanocitta Cristata-Cris if he had
been a Columbia or a Camden jay
could not have occurred without His
knowledge and, we thus believe, His
compassion.
Perhaps the preacher felt something
like an omen Or portent in the flight
of the beautiful and stately visitor?
A Roman priest-we mean a priest of
old Rome-might have seen in the
flight a grave presage of evil, or a
promise of good fortune. The Georgia
preacher saw in it-only a disturbance
an interruption, that must be pun
ished with death.
Browning who sings 30 many fine
things about birds. says:
l see my way as birds their track
less way.
He guides me-and the BIRD.
Somehow, we feel sorrier for the
pastor than we do for the slaughter
ed jay.

WHEN DEAFNESS is AN ASSET

Keith Watt Morris of New York
has the distinction Of having been the
first deaf aviator in the service of
Uncle Sam.
Deaf men, he says. ARE peculiar
ly fitted for aviation. The deaf have
non sense of motion. If they lose the
sense of hearing after having once
had it, they can't tell, with their eyes
shut, whether they're ascending or de-
scending, turning to the right or to
the left. This has been proved by
army surgeons.
This of course, keeps them from
getting dizzy in high attitudes. More
over, they are not bothered by the
noise of the engine. and a give all
their attention % fighting and flying
without the annoyances hearing men
have to contend with"
Deafness is a peculiar ai1ment. For
instance, A. P. McAllister. of Lumber
ton, North Carolina. who is not stone
dear, can hear better in a nautomobile
when the engine is going than any
where else.
Thomas A. Edison, who is hard of
hearing, can put his a close to the
horn of a monograph and detect the
slightest errors and false notes in a
record.
