SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24, 1922 'FIJIANS POLITE TO A FAULT In Some Respects, It Might Be Criti- cized, They .Carry Desirable Quality to Excess. So eager are the Fijlans to be po- lite to visitors that if a guest slips and falls they most immediately fol- low suit. If a guest slips and hap- pens to fall in the presence of many ¥ n¥, there will be a great scram- ipilirg ki egéryoxie tries to place him: self prostrate upon the ground -first. Instead of hastily getting up and looking around in an' embarrassed smanver:to/see if any one saw the mis- hap, a guest in FiJi has the satisfac {13 vibnge fedling’/ thidt' ‘e oot the only-unfortunate one. i In many- other ways the -Fijian ghows his respect for his guest. When the subjects.-ef a ruler in Fijt hear that the fribe is to.be visited by a chief from'‘dnothier- tribe, or a person from_ another country, all vol- unteer to help’entertain the guest., Each mat :begs to be allowed to contribute sométhing - toward the feast, or in some other way to add to the comfort of the visitor. The chief is at libéerty to command any- thing the Fijian has for the comfort of his guest. The ruler seldom abuses this privilége. He is very desirous to win and hold the favor of his sub- jects, and, as @ rule, rewards them liberally for their seryices. ALWAYS A GROWING CONCERN Impossible to ~ Set- Boundariss That Shall Confine the Qrowth of the English Langusge. William Shakespeares vocabulary was about 15,500 words. Jonn Muton§ - needed only ‘8,000 -differsut woxds for’ “Paradise Lost,” while the Old Testa- ment has fewer than 600 di words. Some¢ people use only & 800 différent Words, and mos get” along with™ ‘between 3,000. A few years ago sode peasants in rural England, farm laberers, were found who used about 300. Prof. Max Muller (1823-1900), the great Oxford philologist, who was . perbaps the greatest authority of his age on this subject, put the number of words in the English language at 100,000. “If we include all the words which have fixed places in the dialect of the coun- try,” says “The Book of Knowledge,” “and include also many which.we know were spoken in earller times, we shall have to put the total at 400,000 for the English language.” \'l‘he num- ber fs constantly -growing. When.a new dictionary was made, some years ago, it was found that the new words necessary for use in relation to elec tricity and electrical appliances num- bered over 4,000. A similar, increage had tuken' place’ with régard’to othet arts and sciences. HOW TO FORETELL WEATHE Simple Observation All That Is Neces- sary to Know What the Heavens WIil Furnish. ! To be a good weather prophet is often a great convenienee to yourself and others. Here is a simple and reliable way of telling if rain Is coming during the day. As early as possible iu the morning go out and search the sky for the smallest cloud that is in sight. Ieep this under close observation for five minutes or so and note whether it alters in size. If the cloud gets small- er one can be almost certaiu of a fine day. On the other hand, if it increases in size, rain will surely come in a few hours. Where the cloud remains the same size no speclal change in the prevailing weather is likely to take place. If the cloud increases very rap- Adly thunder is almost a certsinty, in ithe summer. Alteration in the size of clouds is connected .with the state .of the atmosphere.” When the air is very dry and rain is unlikely, the clouds soon vanish; if the atmosphere |1s charged with moisture, the masses of vapor increase and this will soon ‘be discharged in-the form of rain.: SPECIAL ELECTION FOR INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT N ‘OF BEMIDJI GIVEN that a NOTICE IS HEREBY. special election of the Legal Voters of Independent School District: No. 7, of Bemidji, will be held at the main cen- tral sehool building, in the City of Be- midji, Beltrami County, Minnesota on Saturday, the 28 day of Oct. 1922 for the purpose of voting upon the follow- ing propositions, namely: Shall the School Board of Independ- ent School District No. 7 of Bemidjl, Beltrami County.
