Thomas Ervin, the general mana- ger for the Beltrami Elevator & Milling company, has received his new gasoline launch and will now enjoy some of his time by boating on Lake Bemidji and her tributary waters. Mr. Ervin’s launch is twenty-three feet long, and is nicely finished, with an eight- horsepower engine to furnish the propelling power. Mr. Chandler, the Fargo capitalist, has received the best launch which is owned in this vicinity. The boat came yesterday and will be used in plying the waters of Lake Bemidji between Lavinia and the city dock. The launch is ele- gantly appointed, large and commo- dious, and is fitted with a 30-horse- power engine that will make ‘er fairly fly through the water. Mr. Chandler and hisfamily will certainly have a very fine boat for the summer’s outing. Linden A. Smith, assistant at- torney general who was stationed here by Attorney General Simpson for the purpose of acting as tempor- ary assistant county attorney for Beltrami county, departed last even- ing for his home in St. Paul, after having performed considerable labor with the grand jury and also with the board of county commissioners. Mr. Smith impresses one with being absolutley fair and impartial and desirous of doing the “square thing” with everyone. He will undoubtedly be here occasionally, as his services are needed, for some time to come, as Attorney General Simpson stated, when he left Bemidji for his home, that he proposed to look after the proceedings relative to the carrying on of Beltrami county’s business for the present, and he left Mr. Smith here for the purpose of representing the attorney general’s office.

S. C. Bagley, known for many years as the “Duke of Clearwater,” was a visitor in the city yesterday afternoon and last evening.

He is now residing on a farm near Fosston, leading the “simple life,” and as usual, is always a good citizen, That the Bemidji band, under the new leadership of Prof. Harry Masten, will assume a commanding place among the musical organiza- tions of northern Minnesota, seems to be a fact, if judgment may be fosmed from the first rehearsal, which was held Monday evening. The band boys assembled at the armory and put in a strenuous two hours of practice, under’the guidance of Professor Masten. There was a good attendance, and the interest manifested in the evening’s work augurs well for the success of the band. The professor has already outlined. the program which the band will render the Fifth of July (when Bemidji will celebrate the nation’s natal day) and the class of music which will be offered that day is such that any band, anywhere, may well be proud of being able to render. Professor Masten appears to be the “right man, in the right place,” all right; and all he needs is the proper backing and support in order to furnish Bemidji with a high-class band.

Clarence Shannon, state fire ran- ger for this district, returned last night from a trip through the coun- try in the vicinity of Funkley, where he investigated the conditions relative to danger from fires, He found the conditions fairly good, and indications are that the law relative to carelessness in setting fires is being well observed. Misplaced Sympathy. A sympathetic Frenchman unluekily bought an almanac that gave the dates of the world’s chief events. From that day on he lived a life of mourning. Thus on April 80 he had crape on his hat. “Have you lost a relative?” a friend asked. “Not exactly,” said he. “But today is a sad anniversary for the French people. On April 30, 1524, the Chevaller Bayard died.” On May 2 he had crape on again. “Still mourn- Ing Bayard?” said the friend. “No,” said he, “but don’t you remember that on May 2 a great and charming poet, Alfred de Musset, breathed his last?” On the 6th of the same month, “Whom are you mourning for now?’ “For an bonest man, General Caviagnac.” On the 30th, crying terribly, he said: “Ah, Joan of Arc! On this date, in 1431, a handful of Englishmen and a miser- able bishop put the gallant maid to death.”” On July 13 he took a bath in memory of the assassination of Marat. On the 16th Beranger’s death gave him 7 fatal shock. On the 18th, having read of Napoleon’s departure to St. Helena, he felt better, but on the 23d the bombardment of Dieppe by the English, in 1694. confined him again to his bed. He was taken with a fever and died on the 22d, muttering, “In a month the massacre of St. Bartholo- mew!”"—New York Sun. Eloquence of the Welsh. Here is a little story of an English- man in Wales: “On the comparative qualities of the English and Welsh tongues let me tell of the Welshman who saluted me in the Welsh. I was compelled to confess ignorance. ‘Ah,’ he said, turning fluently enough to English, ‘you should learn the Welsh! My wife was English, and she can speak conversations now quite well” I acknowledged my shortcomings and admitted that I had always under- stood the Welsh to be a remarkably eloquent tongue. ‘Yes, yes, 1t iss so,’ sald the native. ‘In Welsh a man can express exactly what he means. As for the English, I call it.not a language at all—only a dialect. “‘You haf noted that an Englishman or a foreigner in speaking his language waves his hands and arms about to help out the meaning of the words, but a Welshman who can speak Welsh well he hass no need to move his hands. In the Welsh he can say all that he means.’ ”—Chicago News. Fife Wheat. ? Years ago, about a century, David Fife., a Scotchman of Otonabee, Ont., sent to a friend in Glasgow for a small bag of seed wheat to try in a cleared patch of the backwoods. The fricnd obtained some seed from a vessel just in from Danzig. Unfortu- nately it was a fall wheat and reached David Fife in the spring. Neverthe- less David Fife sowed it in spring. One can guess how feverishly the backwoods farmer watched for the growth of his experiment. Only three ‘wheat heads survived till the fall, but those three wheat heads were entirely free of the rust that had ruined his neighbor’s erops, and those three heads really represented a new varlety of wheat, a fall wheat turned into a spring wheat. David Fife treasured the three heads and planted them in spring. Such was the beginning of Fife wheat in America.—Agnes C. Laut in Outing Magastne. The Andromeda Nebula, One of the most astonishing objects In the heavens, especially when photo- graphed, is the great nebula in the constellation Andromeda, which is vis- 1ble as a misty speck to the naked eye. It has long puzzled astronomers, be- cause while its structure—a serles of .vast rings surrounding a central mass —suggests a gaseous constitution, its spectrum s continuous, . resembling that of the sun. It has been suggested that it may be composed of stars con- stituting a universe external to ours. Recent studies of its parallax, how- ever, Indicate that it is nearer to us than some of the well known stars, such as Capella, and Mr. J. Ellard Gore, the English astronomer, points out that if the Andromeda nebula ‘were assumed to be an external uni- verse, having a dlameter comparable with that of the Milky way, its mass ‘would be forty million million million times the mass of the sun. This is regarded as incredible and so may be taken as an additional argument in favor of the view that this nebula is a member of our system.—Youth’s Companion. A Curious Superstition. There 1s a curlous superstition com- mon to Shetlanders and Cingalese. How islanders so wide apart—some 15,000 miles—managed to adopt each other’s views one does not know, but here is the fact. The rice cultivators of Ceylon and the fishermen of Shet- land resemble each other in one or two rather remarkable polnts. They re- frain from speaking of the implements of their calling' by their names. They call them something else, by names known only to themselves. The reason is that if the evil spirit were to think that they were speaking of spades and rakes or of nets and hooks he would be tempted to damage them or even to appropriate them. The train of thought is the same with both races: “There is an evil spirit always on the lookout for opportunities of doing mis- chief. He even hears what we say. If we let him understand that we are talking about our implements and tools, we shall direct his attention to them and shall suggest to him a way of dolng an injury. Therefore we will agree to call a boat or a spade by some fancy name known only to ourselves.” Coronets. The coronet of a duke consists of al- ternate crosses and leaves, the leaves being a representation of the leaves of the parsley plant. The princes of the blood royal also wear a similar crown. The state headgear of a marquis con- sists of a-diadem surrounded by flow- ers and pearls placed alternately. An earl, however, has neither flowers nor leaves surmounting his circlet, but only points rising, each with'a pearl on the top. A viscount has neither flowers nor points, but only the plain circlet adorned with pearls, which, regardless of number, are placed on the crown ft- self. A baron has only six pearls on ‘the golden border, not raised, to dis- tinguish him from an earl, and the number of pearls render his diadem distinet from that of a viscount. A Bit of Blue Sky. Professor John Tyndall, who, with many great gifts, possessed a singular skill in devising and conducting beau- tiful experimental illustrations, actual- ly produced in 1869 a bit of blue sky in the lecture room. In a glass tube three feet in length and threc inches in diameter he exhausted the air until it was less than one-tenih the density of the atmosphere we breathe and repre- sented the rarer air high overhead. Into this exhausted air he introduced nitrite of butyle vapor, which Is ex- tremely volatile. Then a strong beam of light in a room otherwise dark was passed through the mixture, and in the glass tube there glowed a beautiful blue cloud, rivaling in color the finest Italian sky. Here was blue sky brought down to earth. According to History. A: woman who belongs to a com- munity called the Sisters of St. John the Baptist not long ago spent a month In a backwoods district. Shortly after her arrival she went to the local post- office and inquired if any letters had come for Sister Bernardine. The rural postmaster looked bewildered. “Sister who?” he asked incredulously. “Sister Bernardine,” repeated the lady, “a sister of St. John the Bap- tist.” “I think not,” he answered. Then, after some reflection, he added, “Say, ain’t he been dead pretty near a hun- dred vears now ?’—Harper’s Weekly. Trying to Make a HIt.
