SHAMANS KEEP THEIR POWER
Alaskan Natives Still Believe Implicit
Iy in the Words and Actions
of medicine Men,"

ShamaniSm or superstition and sor-
Gerry, always has played an important
part in the life of the Alaskan native.
So implicitly does the Alaskan believe
in the words and actions Of the sha-
man that a whole tribe go hungry rath-
err than incur his displeasure by eat
ing foods he has taboOed.
The shaman attained his position
and power by unusual methods. BY
fasting and prayer amid the solitudes
of the woods or mountains, where he
fed only on grasses and roots, he
prepared himself to become a Shaman.
BY this method it was believed the
candidates body became sufficiently
purified to become the abiding place
of spirits.
Usually the spirit, willing to abide
with the shaman, sent the novitiate a
land otter which the candidate killed,
the otter's tongue to be preserved as
a talisman away from human view,
for should it be seen it was believed
the shaman would go insane or be
turned into the animal from which
the tongue was taken.
Thus the land otter was regarded
as too sacred to be killed by other
than shamans.

What the Hair Denotes.

A long and peaceful life is promised
the owner of hair that grows low on
the forehead and retreats up the
head above the temples.
Coarse hair indicates humble birth
and coarse nature. Black, short, and
curly hair indicates uncertain temper,
tendency to alcohol, and an amor
Gus nature
The darker the hair the more pow
erful the physical organization. Chest
nut or brown hair denotes fairness in
dealings, generosity, absence of de
ceit, but unhappiness in domestic life.
Thick, straight and glossy brown hair
indicates a robust constitution, en-
ergy, and eagerness in the pursuit of
life; thick, coarse. and wiry brown
hair, great determination of charac-
ter; curly brown hair, weak charac-
ter, but natural ingenuity and ability;
while dark brown long and smooth
hair indicates faithfulness in love,
many children, good health, and much
happiness.

SIBERIA NOT ALL SQUAL0R
For Six Months of the Year Flowers
Bloom in Profusion in Otherwise
Oesolate Country.

Amidst the filth, squalor and power.
ty of Siberia it is good to find some
thing which seems devoid of all these
and which speaks to this desolate
country of better day. After months
of snow and ice, and within a week
from the time the snow has disappear
ed, spring begins, and with 1t come the
flowers. Spring and summer and au-
tumn are all one in Siberia-there is
no time for them all; brief six
months is the most which nature al
lows, and so they have to cram into
that space everything they can, the
Christian Science Monitor says.
The chief flowers are anemones,
irises and ilies-of-the-valley. Ali of
them, especially the latter, grow wild
in great profusion, and the whole
world seems to smell of lilies for a
brief two or three weeks.
Travelling between Vladivostok and
Hardin little semi-C hinese-Russian
boys bring great punches of lilies-of-
the-valley to the trains, which can be
bought for a few cents They start
perhaps by asking four rubles for
basket. This you refuse and pass on
to the next boy. The the whistle
blows, and the boys rush up to you
shouting: Three rubles two rubles !"
Still you take no notice; then you
Chamber on the train, which very slow
ly crawls out of the station, and you
eventually buy as many lilies as you
can carry for one 'ruble, the boy being
perfectly content, and you, thinking
of the prices in Fifth avenue, are also
happy in the thought of your posses
sion.

Seif-Portraiture,

To take a photograph of oneself 1t
is necessary to have the camera very
firmly placed either on a tripod or
table so that it would not move dur
ing exposure. A length of thin, strong
string should be attached to the shut
ter trigger. The string should be led
down to the floor level, passed under
the lower rail of heavy chair, along
the floor under your boot between the
heel and soIe), and held in the hand
behind the back. If the string runs
freely slight pull should release the
shutter and make the exposure. If it
does not, pick the camera up and start
again.

Haggard Examining
Trial Postponed

The examining trial at Winchester
of Rodney Haggard, charged with
the killing of Ben Good, was again
postponed yesterday when it was
called before Judge Lee Evans, this
time on motion of the defense. No
new date was set for the trial
Judge Evans announced that he
was relative of the defendant BY
marriage and for that reason would
prefer not to try the case.
As the grand jury convenes Sept.
ID. it is said to be probable that the
postponement will take the matter
out of the hands of the examining
court, which would be the case IT,
an indictment should be found.

set as the Republican campaign
fund quota of Cleveland and $4,000
as that of Atlanta came from Re-
publican witnesses yesterday at the
Senate investigation of campaign
funds and expenditures. In addition
there was admission by Harry M.
Blair, assistant to the treasurer of
the Republican National Committee.
that he had approved "Form 101,"
document setting forth a cam
paign plan which called for sub
scriptions Of $4,000 and $4,000
each.
Mr. Blair, whose testimony ex-
! tended over into a night session,
said sufficient copies of the bulletin
were prepared to supply all field
agents of the Republican national
treasurer, but when the national
ways and means committee refused
to approve the project, the release
upon the document was cancelled.
Testimony upon the Cleveland
quota of $4,000 was given by Dud-
ley S. Blossom, a city official and
one of the leaders in the drive for
funds there. He said this figure
was given him by w. A. Woodford,
chairman of the ways and means
committee for Cleveland, but that it
was also discussed with the nation
al ways and means representative
became common knowledge among
workers for the fund. The said
$4,000 had been pledged to the
fund and that tn work was continu-
ing.
Mr.. Woodford was called when
Mr.. Blossom finished, but it devef-
oped he had been detained in Cleve-
land by business. Other Ohio wit
nesses were also lacking.
Upham Statment Proved Untrue
The Atlanta testimony came from
C. W. Mcclure, former Republican
candidate for United States Senator
from Georgia. He said that c. F.
Taylor, a paid worker for the Re-
publican national treasurer. brought
letter from Alfred Upham stating
that an attempt was to be made to
raise more money there. The wit
ness also said that DIR. ]. c. Stock
bridge, of Atlanta, quoted Taylor as
saying that they hoped to raise
$4,000 in Atlanta alone. This was
the amount charged by Governor
Cox as the quota for that city and
given by Mr.. Upham as the quota
for the entire state of Georgia.
Mr.. Blair early in his testimony
said that when he undertook his du-
ties in November, 1919, list of
state quotas had been made up call
ing for approximately $1,000, 900. A
comparison of this figure with the
$3,O00,000 budget presented in last
weeks testimony by Chairman Will
HAYS was brought into the proceed
ings and Mr.. Upham volunteered
from the audience that Mr.. Blair
knew nothing about the manned in
which the money he collected was to
be discussed.
81 expect to satisfy Mr. Upham
and raise three million dollars" the
witness told Senator James A. Reed,
Democrat, of Missouri. "And you
are expected to raise that for the
national committee and then have
the monies that are due the states
on their proportion turned over to
them so that the national commit
tee will have the three million
clear?" asked Senator Reed. "You
really do not know what the money
is for-the division of it,"
Knows Nothing, Says Blair
"Officially, | know nothing about
it, because have nothing to do with
disbursing it," replied Mr.. Blair.
"Unofficially, what do you know 7"
