STRANGE VIGuKEPT
ON CORNWALLCOA

St. Ives, Cornwall-For IA years
two gnarled, hawkeyed fishermen,
perched upon precipitous cliff at
st. Ives overlooking the Atlantic,
have watched for the return Of the
pilchard to the Cornish seas. This
fish goes by the name of menhaden
in the United States.
William Noall and Edward Co.
they keep their vigil from dawn I'M
til sunset. They never have their
meals together. One eats while the
other watches for the return Of the
fish to the bay which was formerly
the pilchard's favorite haunt. y
Fourteen years ago there was the
greatest catch Of pHchards ever
known, and wealth came to the To-
cal fishermen. but since then the
fish have only frequented the bay
once. On that occasion they came
to within two miles OF the Shore,
but the \whistling of an engine
frightened, them away and possible
fortunes were lost.

Washington, April 1.-THE first
requests for money for American rep
resentation on the International COM

ference were e to the senate Sat.

$68,750 for American participation in
the revision, of, Chinese tariffs and jur-
isprudence and $3.50 for an Ameri-
cal delegate on the commission of
jurists to consider amendments to the

delegate to the special Chinese tariff

Hundreds OF Greeks
Flee To Escape The
Deportation Horrors


Observation-Disclosures Of the
Greeks in Pontus, on the Black sea
littoral of Asia Minor, fed to the
mountains recently in order to escape
the horrors of deportation by the
Turkish Nationalist.
These Greeks have been credited
with the intention Of setting up a
"Pontus Republic" of their own and
thu have drawn upon themselves the
wrath of the Angor& government.
The Kemalist minister of the in
terror and the chief Of the Nationalist
gendarmerie have, just made a tour of
the disturbed area where they issued
a proclamation giving the fugitives
one week to return to the country
where, sale the order. they have lived
SO happily for 81 long," and ordering
them to report at h military depots.
According to reports the refugee
leaders have committed suicide rather
than surrender and the Kemalists
have sent a punitive expedition to the
affected region, having detached two
regiments from the Greek fighting
front for tina purpOse.

FORMULA FOR PSYCHIC SCIENCE 5.
SEEN AS CONAN DOYLE ARRIVES

New York, April 15.-The visit to
this country of Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes
stories and one of the leading expon-
ents Of spiritualis.p. has drawn new
attention to the study and discussions
of psychic phenomena. In speaking
of his forthcoming lectures on phychic
phenomena Hamlin Garland. the we'll
known author. says that many of the
conclusions reached by the famous
English investigator practically agree
with his own. con one point we are
fully in accord" he remarked. I'VE
are convinced that science is still un-
able to explain many phases of psychic
phenomena. We also agree in assert
ing that these phenomena should b.
the subject of careful study by men
equipped for the work.
THE objections of churchmen to
the investigation of so-called spirit
phenomena" says Mr.. Garland, ARE,
In my opinion. u~nwarranted. Their
branch Of study is theology, while the
study of psychic phenomena is purely
a matter of science. 7 make this as

ever, I deny. 1t belongs to the realm
Of chemistry and psychology.
Unknown Forces Surround Us.
10Y believe that we are surrounded
by unknown forces and the scientific
problem, it seems to me, is mot
whether s~piritualism is true or false,
but whether metaphysical phenomena
IRE real or imaginary. Some future
Newton will probably discover a more

sTAMBoULIskY SUFFERS.

Sofia. Observation-Disclosures SIAM
boulisky, The former premier and the
Peasant party of which he is head,
has suffered a severe reverse in the
recent communal elections through
out Bulgaria. The other political
groups combined against the pre-
mier's party and the Communists and
polled about so per cent of the viii
lage vote. The government has pro-
hibited the newspapers and foreign
correspondents from publishing the
election results.
This is the first serious reverse
Stamboulisky' and his party have sus-
tanned since he. came into power. His
opponents allege that he became too
d~ictatorial and ascribe the defeat of
his party to radicalism, socialistic
doctrines and class legislation. They
charge that he has tried to run the
country in the interest Of the peasants
and against the ~intellectuals inc city
dweller2
The opposition is endeavoring to
reconcile its differences and form a
coalition in the hope of breaking the
peasant regime which has held the
country in it's grip for three years.
One Of Stamboulisky's methods of
putting Bulgaria back on her feet aft
err the war was to require everybody,
including the m and even the
kings two sisters, to give a certain
amount of their time to work for the

TEMPERANCE MOVE
in AUSTRIA GAINS

Vienna.-The temperance move
ment recently started in Austria Is
gaining impetus. at least in publicity.
1t has served to arouse the liquor in
terests who have held a big meeting
IN opposition and attempted to refute
the figures officially published of the
country's immense booze bill.
The government has agreed with
the Social Democratic proposal to
make a start by making the sale of
liquors to youths unlawful. A meas
ure is in preparation but some dis
agreement has resulted over the
question of age limit. The Socialists
wish to place it at 18 years.
The Arbeiter Zeitung, official So
cialist organ. has replied theoretically
to the charge of the opposition which
is their principal care that prohibit

This will be good news to the
many friends of Webb in this section
as it has been the general opinion
among them during the last few
years that he is good enough to
make any of the coast league teams.
He endeared himself to the hearts
of local fans by winning three
straight championships for Weiser.
The offer came rather as sur
prise to Mr. Webb as he had not
been able to pitch out the present
season owing to little trouble with
his arm so in view of this he told
the Signal Representatives that he
was taking a little time to decide
definitely as to whether or not. the
would accept. 1t was his belief
however, that he could get into shape
for the opening of the season next
March and he looked upon the of
fer with favor.
Another thing that looked good to
his friends was the fact that their
were no preliminaries TO the offer.
Ordinarily when a new man is hired
by professional club, he is asked
to take tryout. The. management
of the Seattle club was evidently
satisfied with the report of scouts
on the local man that he would make
good.
The above item was clipped
taken from the Weiser Signal and
will be of much interest to many
local fans who are sure Mr.. Webb
will make good il he accepts the
contract.
