MOORE HAS FAITH
Says Schools Won't Suffer By
Loss Of Bryan.

Boise, Idaho.-s'I have faith in
the state board of education"
said Governor c. C. Moore, Sin
that the educational institutions
will not be permitted to suffer in
spite of the loss of Commissioners
E. A. Bryan. While, personally,
| have always held high regard
for the commissioner, l feel that
the people of the state have spoken
in no mistakablc manner through
the Legislature and that the will of
the people shall be obeyed.
"The higher educational institu-
tions will not suffer under the care
of the board and the state superin-
tendent will see to it that the boys
and the girls Of the common
schools will receive every advan-i
tage of the years just past. | feel
that there is no material criticism
of the present board system and
no justification of anyone making
alarming statements of the 'wreck
ing" of the educational system or
that the children of the state may
lack in educational facilities in the
next two years.
"The legislature provided for IN
executive secretary for the board
but so far the board has not made
such appointment, leaving much
of the secretarial work falling upon
Miss Wilson, DR.. Bryan's secretary
and other clerks in the office"

High LeyieS Predicted.

Predictions of high tax levy in
many Idaho counties this year
we're made Friday by Z. G. Gallet,
state auditor, upon receipt Of the
first assessment roll of real proper
ty, says the Statesman. The roll
came from Madison county apd
shows drop OF approximately
Sill, 900 in the valuation OF real
property Of that county.
Mr.. Gallet said that persons wLo
travel the state and have business
with county officers say that there
is a general drop in the valuation
of real property all over the state.
New assessors in many OF the
counties is given as the reason for
the slump III valuation aud the
predicted resultant increase in
taxes.
II dou't see how these fellows
figure they are gong to come out,
Mr.. Gallct said, "because the last
legislature passed laws limiting
the maximum tax which could be
levied by couuties, cities, highway
districts and the like, and if they
cut their valuations it means
larger tax rate will have to be
made"

Transparent Creatures.

Among the curiosities of the animal
kingdom are transparent animals. Re-
cent studies of two larval eels which
belong to one Of the government bu-
reaus at Washington seem to show
that among the possible advantages OF
being transparent Is listed economy
in personal decoration.
In ordinary opaque animals the
color markings are symmetrical on
both sides of the body, but this is
not the case with the transparent
cells. When looked at from one SIDE
these cells appear to have seven large
black spots arranged at nearly regular
intervals along the length OF It's
body; closer examination shows that
in each case three spots are on the
left side and four on the right side.
They are irregularly spaced, but IN
such a manner that on looking through
the body all seven appear in sym
metrical row.-New. York Herald.

socially always at his best when his
days work was done. and his gracious
hospitality provoked In those he gath
cred around his table sense of ease
and intimacy that was scarcely to be
matched In any other of the bohemian
entertainments of the time. During her
repeated visits TO England Nine.
Bernhardt was constantly to be count
ed among his guests; and in the art Of
Sir Henry Irving, which she never
weared of praising, she found, think,
that note of strong personality which
is also the surviving Characteristic OF
oil her own work in the theater. On
that particular occasion, as | remem-
Der. our talk concerned itself with the
age at which some of the great actors
Of the past had produced their finest
effects; when on sudden Nine. Bern

Miss Ellen Terry, exclaimed In her
broken English, which lost nothing OF
force from its imperfection, My dear,

which shall never be old-you and
