Earthquakes are
Felt by English
Woman, Feels All
BY United Press Leased Wire

LONDON, Feb. 15.-England has
t'human seismograph, a woman
who registers earthquake shocks
wherever they occur, says Prof. H.
III. Turner in an article on earth
quakes in the Quarterly Review.
A woman Of peculiar sensitive
ness he writes, "has for many
years past been able to report al
most every earthquake in all parts
Of the world before any news comes
in. She suffers from a curious ner-
vous tension as though under the
influence of electricity. 1t almost
incapacitates her while it lasts, but
II ends suddenly. F."
The Professor quotes a letter dat
ed Sept. 10, which asserts that
these japanese earthquakes have
affected her badly and she had a
bad attack yesterday" Almost
Immediately, he continued, "the
explanation of the bad attack yes
terday' was realized. There, was q
considerable shock in India on
Sept. 9, at IL a. m. of our summer
time.

BORDER LINE
CROSSING is
ALL HELD UP

In retaliation for the st1tt en-
foreement of the United States I'M
migration laws on group Of MeNi-
can workmen coming to the valley
yesterday morning to wcrk, the Mex
lean officials decided to enforce a
Mexican law requiring that all aliens
entering Mexico should show eTther
a passport or 800 in cash.
The result was that rumor soon
spread about the valley that the
international line had been closed
and there was considerable spccuia'
tion as to the reason.
II was explained at the American
customs office that the detention Of
the MeXicans al the line was caused
by a new migration officer who
was not altogether familiar with To-
cal conditions ana refused tC let
the Mexicans cross to their work.
The latter reported the matter to
Mexican officials and they III turn
enforced the passport law.
The result was that many Amen-
cans were turned back by the McNl-
can officials and this condition last
ed until the American officers cross
ed over and straightencd out the
misunderstanding.
One of the humorous stories grow
ing out of the incident, concerns
the actions of proprietors of Mexi-
cali resorts to get Their American
bartenders and gamblers to work.
Few of the latter had either pass
ports or 500 in cash. The diff
Guilty was solved by the proprIetors
coming 10 the rescue with 500 bills.
As soon as one employee was safely
across the line, the proprietor took
the 800 and went back for another
employee, in this way making the
same money do for several err
ployees. This plan was followed un-
til the ban was lifted and everybody
was once more free to come and 90
at will.

There are about 5000 black or
brown bears in Oregon and 1000 III

100000 acres of forest land in the
two states, and were compiled by
l35 rangers, each making "a report
for his respective district.

Shakers Wealth
Spelling Doom

CHATHAM, y. Y, Feb. Is
Despite their great wealth in lands
and real estate, the Shakers in the
United States are rapidly nearing
the time when they will be only a
memory.
Their wealth is their doom. Be
cause Of it, the old men and women
of the sect do not encourage ac-
cessions of young people, on the
theory that young persons who
might want to join them now would
be promoted by purely mercenary
motives.
Last stages in the final passing
Of the sect arc underway ut the
Mount Lebanon colony of the
Shakers, near here, in the pictures
quo hills of Columbia county, for
half Il century regarded as the cen
ter of Shakerism in the United
States.
At the zenith of their prosperity,
probably 80 years ago, there were
$500 Shakers in
the United States. Today there are
not to exceed 250 and this remnant
of the once strong organization is
among the settlements
of Mount Lebanon, West Pittsfield
East Canterbury, y. NJ, Albany
and New Gloucester, Maine. The
strongest community is that at East
Canterbury.
