How Man Came to Walk Erect.

Man has walked erect from the be-
ginning of his human origin" accord
ing to the theory of DR.. Dudley Nor
gan. professor of surgery in Yale Uni
versity. says the Pathfinder Magazine.
During the arboreal life OF mans an
cestor declared DR.. Morgan in an ad-
dress at New Haven. gravity pulled
the lower limbs into an erect position.
when the first members OF the an
thropoid stem adopted their brachiatic
habit their limbs were drawn down
into a vertical position by the force
of gravity" he said AT some time
during the development of man he
dropped from the trees and took up
his terrestrial habits already in an
erect position. The branch of the stem
which remained arboreal became so de-
Veloped in the arms and shoulders that
their wei~ht prevented them from
walking upright later. That is why
there is the semi-erect branch Of the
stem in the greater apes to-day"

Bluebirds Adopt Ducklings.

a Mason, Miss, farmer has a bird
house which was occupied last Sum-
mer by pair of bluebirds, says Alfred
Meeks, IN Cappers Magazine.
Late in the Spring several sparrows
drove the blueb!rds out and destroyed
the eggs. The farmer killed the spar
rows. but the bluebrds did not seem to
settle down again.
To his amaZement. the farmer dis
covered that they had adopted a brood
of ducklings. which had hatched near
by and had been deserted. The blue
birds worked overtime bringing worms
and bugs to fill the gaping mouths of
their greedy adopted children and
seemed to enjoy it hugely. They
raised the ducklings until they were
able to scratch and swim for them
selves, then settled in their home to
raise a family of their own.

"Just-a-Minute Man" a Pest.

The "just-a minute" man is a prod,
uct of modern times, and is In no way
related to the Minute Man Of Revolu-
tionary days. He Is the worst pest
with whom Detroiters high in public
office and business life have to deal,
says the Detroit News.
He always appears to he in hurry.
He dashes into the outer Office of his
victim. pulls out his watch. md breath
lessly asks the secretary II he can see
Mr.. So-and.so for Just a minute" He
is often successful in gaining admit.
ia nee. and he usually stays about 80
minutes. or until long after he has
worn out his welcome.
The ''just-a minute" man is legion.
His visits sometimes take up several
hours a day Of one busy mans time.
One business man admitted he could
dispense with his secretary If it were
not for the "ilIst a minute" man. The
secretary's chief duty is to intercept
the pest and learn his business.

AUTHORITY OF u. S.
AT NIAGARA UPHELD
Federal Power Commission Claims
Rights Superior to New
York State.

BY the Associated Press.
Pre- eminence of Federal over New
York State authority in the regula-
ti0n Of water-power developments In
the lower Niagara River was asserted
by the Federal Power Commission to-
day in g. letter to Charles r. Hughes,
special counsel for the State.
The letter was a reply to one from
Mr.. Hughes, dated December 4. 1925,
in which he declared the state had
primary authority and that the Fed
eral water.power act was, in part.
unconstitutional.
The correspondence centered about
a proposal by the Lower Niagara
River Power and Water Supply Co.
to erect water diversion works and
power plant below the falls.
The commission held that approval
of the chief Of engineers and Secre.
tary of War and of the international
Joint Commission was necessary,
since the lower Niagara is an inter
national stream.
Congress alone has the ultimate
authority to consent to the erection
of proposed structures in the river
and cannot be compelled to grant or
withhold its consent, the commission
said, adding, however, that it was not
to he UNDERSTOOD az making Claims Tor
exclusive jurisdiction.
The State and the Federal Govern
ments having concurrent jurisdic-
ton" the letter continued. 1T is with
in the power Of either. should 1t 80
wish, to interpose it's veto. 1t must
be assumed. however. until evidence
to the contrary appears, that both
agencies In the exercise Of their
powers have only the public interest
in view and need therefore find no
difficulty in reaching joint conclu-
sions"
The general relations. of Federal
and State authority over water-power
development within a State, the com.
mission said. are matters for the
courts to decide.
