MT. ROBERTS TRAIL IS
 OPEN TO TIMBER LINE

Mt Roberts trail is open to traffic as far up as underline but beyond that point is dangerous, owing to the depth of snow which still covers the ridge, according to M. l.. Stepp, who made the trip to the end of the trail yesterday.
 All of the gulehes are filled with snow and over the trail there is con siderable snow with many drifts rang ing from 10 to 30 feet deep, he said One of the gulches, by actual meas urement known to be 100 feet deep is entirely filled.
 It will probably be 30 days before the trail above timber line will be safe for traffic. said MT. Stepp. The danger from slides at present for sometime to come will be consider able.

Fellow Tries to Make Admiral
 Rogers Leaving Dock and He Does - Ducked.

Two jumps looked as easy as one to an adventurescme sailor at f6 o'clock last night when he made a leap from the city dock to the steamer Admiral Rogers, when the ship was several feet, out after cast ing off en route south.
 But alas, the sailors reach was too short and his footing unsteady as he attempted to hold to port hole, and he made a plunge through long stretch of space, into the brney. the tide being low.
 A rope was immediately lowered over the side of the ship and tho aquatic performer was pulled up tht side of the ship to the deck in shori time and without harm. to the in. tense interest and apparent amuse. ment of the large crowd on the deck
 2 Not content with one cold bath when the ship was about 15 feet from the dock, the performer at- tempted to go over the rail bent on reaching the dock when the jibs of number of his companions ashore proved too strong for his sense of humor Six ships sailors were about an equal match for hin but they finally persuaded him ths deck was the most comfortable place for him. A line was ther thrown to the deck for his hat ant coat, which he had left in his hurry to reach the ship, and he was of.
 The name of the husky sailor is not known but it is understood he was a member of the crew of the Phyllis Comyn. five masted barken- tine. in port to take a lumber ship ment to Australia.

same may be said of his Life of Hayden.
Alfred de Musset in his early years,
roared loud and vociferously of the evils
of plagiarism and considered it crime to
copy even a thought or word from another
author, "And we must admit" says
Maunevent "he exhumed nothing from
the dead past-except; Gothe, Byron,
Schiller, Rousseau, Michelet, Shakespeare,
Valtaire, Hugo and few others one
meets in reading his The cup and the
Lips" Later critics discovered his comedy
zone Can't Think of Everything" is but
an open theft from "The Absent-minded
Man." by Cornantelle and some of his
choicest phrases are taken from letters of
his former sweetheart, George Sand. He
finally ends up by adopting Voltaire's
view that Literature is mostly matter
of imitation"
One is almost compelled to believe that
all the great writers are plagiarists and
that the best of each is not his own because
it is another's. A writer gives one many
images in life time and reproduces from
the thoughts of others myriads of thoughts
in new forms which recall more or less
vaguely those of his predecessors but this
does not prevent him from adding to the
pictorial edifce of mankind or its intel
lectual storehouse. Thus a great deal
may be old metal skilfully worked over;
but what matters it if he adds handful
of views of his own manufactured
Maurevert amuses himself by catching
literary great ones with their hands in
other mems pockets and the elevation of
these serve to rescue many unknown
authors from oblivion. They had died
but are revived for a moment because
famous authors remembered them suf-
hciently to rob them!

"Pride is no sin, except when one will
not live up to it. 1t then becomes a vain
boast, the repulsive opposite of humility.
But there is species of pride-not at all
the opposite, but rather the other side of
humiity-which is tantamount to pledge
of obligation. 1t aims at manhoods high
est fulflment. 1t is compounded of a
clear knowledge of ones place, con-
sciousness of both powers and limitations,
and desire to participate whole-heartedly
in the passionate business of living. This
pride is the child of reverence: the last
summing up of the sanctities of Individ-
uality."

ANTHROPOLOGY

We all know that anthropology is the
science of man, and some of us that fiction
at its best is the study of man. All good
novelists and few short story writers
and dramatists are concerned chiefly with
the psychology of man, that soul COM
pounded by millions of ancestors and
played upon more or less helplessly by the
raw and subtle forces of his span.
But while psychology has been of
consuming interest to writers of the first
rank, anthropolog, the greatest of all the
sciences, has received little or no consid-
Grafton. If rulers and statesmen had been
able to study anthropology from the be-
ginning of civilization there would be no
labor problems today, and if ambitious
writers of fiction would give more of their

attention to anthropology and less to
psycho-analysis they would cease from
fumbling, expand their horizon, and make
valuable contributors to sociology. The
reason that SO many novelists, brilliant in
style, profound and searching in analysis,
and sufficiently diverting in action, leave
the intelligent reader unsatisfed, is be-
cause the writer has trusted to his in
tuition and observation and is wholly
ignorant of the science that would have
steered him with few stumbles, through
that maze we call human nature. Human
nature is largely matter of the cephalic
index.
There is a vast literature on anthro-
pology, and none but a devotee of the
science has time to read it all; but if
novelists would give few months study
(and recurrent study to the work of
Ripley, Osborn, Deniker, Trader, Tyler,
and Madison Grants Passing of the
Great Race" they would find relation
between cause and effect that would make
their task simpler in the future. 1t is the
last remarkable work, with its warning
of tremendous import to civilization, that
has tempted me to write.-GertrudeA Ather-
ton in the Bookman.

NOTES ON PLAGIARISM

conceives it, but to him who can stamp
it upon the memories of men," For him
a writer is plagiarist only when pur-
loining without judgment or taste-dis-
cretion, as it were, and he says that "A
man of that type is unworthy to live but
the author who knows what and how to
choose what is suited to him and what
he can use with artistic profit aught to be
regarded as a man of honour" 1t is
apparent he knows how to "choose" from
the works of others what is Suitable and
profitable"
In the Middle Ages the troubadours
and bards copied each other; the mon
astic chroniclers copied from their pred
ecessors and during the Renaissance the
new authors helped themselves freely from
the storehouse of antiquity. Plutarch gives
birth to thoughts Machianelli uses as his
own and poets and philosophers of sue
ceeding centuries have appropriated freely
from classical literature. In the latter case
we may concede the philosophers arrived
at conclusions in the process of reasoning
that were similar or perhaps even repeti-
tions of expressions used by others.
Under Maunevent's scrutiny, Dante,
Milton and Shakespeare head the list as
plagiarists and this is not new of the
latter for it is we'll known he achieved
more in the way of form than original
ideas. Millions "Paradise Lost" is filled
with scenes and expressions from old
Italian mystery plays. We often give
credit to Despartes for the expression; "I
think, therefore I am" but our little old
friend Cicero he of ancient Rome wrote,
viVere est eogitare which is equivalent to
ITO think is to live"
Moliere is regarded as the "prince of
plagiarists" and he admits it frankly,
saying; "What suits me take" Numerous
works of his might be mentioned as openly
copied in structure from the works of
other authors. Stenhal's Life of Mozart
is copied bodily from Carpini and the

HOW WILD ANIMALS TRUST US

Our animals published at San Fran
cisco) tells of the wonderful tameness of
the birds and animals found on the slopes
of Mount Everest in the Himalayas by the
British Expedition of 1922.
"Wild animals and BIRDS such as
mountain-sheep, raven and rock-doves,
unacquainted with human beings, showed
no fear of them at all, readily eating from
the climbers hands! These wild sheep,
ravens and doves, together with wolves.
foxes, rabbits, rats, mice and condors, with
a few other birds, were found at an alti-
tude as high as twenty thousand feet, and
occasionally even a thousand feet higher.
Condors were observed flying over the
mountains northern summit, twenty-four
thousand feet above the sea level"
1t is surely great reproach to us that
the only animals who trust us are those
which care unacquainted with human
beings"
We also quote the following in refer
ence to the wild life on the Galapagos
Islands, off the coast of Ecuador, whence
come the giant land-tortoises:
"The freedom of the animals from all
fear was the most remarkable detail of
life on the Islands," said DR.. Beebe [of
the Geological Expedition]. GAS soon as
we landed, a duck few down and stood
within a few feet of us. 1 Immediately
exclaimed that the island must be popu-
lated, because in all my experience I
never saw wild duck of such fearless
disposition.
"When we sighted the first three-foot
lizard we stalked it very cautiously, in
order to obtain photographs before it
could become alarmed and scurry away.
1t merely blinked at us, however, and a
moment later we saw an even larger
lizard settled comfortably between the legs
of the camera and apparently enjoying
seeing his friend photographed.
"When we tried to take moving pic
lures, animals and birds clustered around
the camera so thickly that we had trouble
getting the specimens we wanted
"To me the most amazing demonstra-
ton of fearessness was given by mother
sea-lion who allowed us to take her
nursing baby from her and examine it.
Instead of showing fight, as mother ami
mails always do if their young are mol
ested, she merely looked at me with
fatuous expression. :. :. When we gave
the baby back she took it in her Aappers
and continued the interrupted nursing.
Mother birds allowed us to approach with
out stirring and let us lift them from the
nest The penguins merely stood by and
waited for us to capture them!"
Why should not all wild animals have
such trust for their human friends?

A:-Write to the Dean of the Univer-
sity for information desired.
O:-Kindly answer this question. How
do they measure rain ?-W. B. J.
A:-The amount of rainfall is measured
by means of rain-gauge, an instrument
consisting essentially of cylindrical, ver-
tical, metal vessel, whose sharp-edged top,
of unknown diameter, is connected with
funnel that conducts rain into an inner
vessel The gauge used by the U. S.
Weather Bureau is eight inches in diam
eter, and the receiver and the inner
cylinder are of such relative dimensions
that the depth of water collected in the
latter will be just ten times the amount
of actual rainfall. The accuracy of the
measurement is thereby increased. A
measuring stick, graduated in inches and
tenths is employed to ascertain the actual
amount of rainfall.
Q:-What foods should be included in
the diet of an average person to make
balanced ration &C. r. r.
A-Department of agriculture says
there are five food groups: Vegetables or
