NDTANS CONVERSE BY WHISTLNG HORD | Redmen Are Able to Talk to Birds i 1o the Sane Manner, It Is Said Berkeley, Cal, Jan. 4.—A tribe of fribe ‘of Indians whose mcmbers ': tommunicate among themselves only by whistling and who can talk to birds i the same manner has been found in the Siskiyou mountains in aerthern California. The discovery was report- d to A. L. Kroeber, curator of an- thropological museum of the Unlver- ) sity of California by J. R. Saxon of the United Stateés forestry sefvice. Sgxon said that for weeks forest tangers in a remote part of the Siski- yous had heard uncanny whistlings | ):r the service wires that stretch m station to station through the mountains. He went to investigate and A ifter nightfall was caught in a moun- tain storm. He found a small cabin of Indian construction. It was empty and he prepared to spend the night there. The ranger recalled that he left the vhack to stable his horse in a lean-to acarby. When he returned, he said, he found steaming food laid on the fioor, and beside it a bed of deer and bear skins provided for him. But no one was in sight. For two days, related Saxon, he liv- ed there in this way. When he left the cabin food would be spread for him, + but with no amount of agility could “he discover the unseen dispenser of hospitality. Finally, on the third day several In- dian men appeared at the cabin, and in sign language informed him that he bad been their guest. * s “To my amazement,” he said, *I learned that they did not speak to one another in any language of words of human beings, butethat they conversed only with staccato whistlings.” At a whistled command birds would flutter from the trees to a clearing to eat food scattered there by the wo- men, according to Saxon’s narrative. He described the men.as shy, add- ing that the women were Ilke decr. “At the sound of my voice,” he ex- plained, “the women fled into the can- yons.” He said the Indians led him to the nearest forest service telephone ®ta- tion and by signs conveyed to him that they had sgeen forest rangers using this instrument and had themselves experimented with it in their whistling tongue. This explained the myster- ous sounds. Baxon beliéves that the isolated clan of “whistiing people” is an obsoure offshoot of the Karok tribe of Kia- math Falls Indians. Professor Kroeber said the Karoks were an unusually intelligent and in. dustrious tribe numbering today about '2,000. He is investigating the réport of the whistling Indians.

The visit of Lucknow was part of an official and extensive tour of Brit- ish India, and was marked by the holding of a viceregal Durbar in which Lord Reading greeted the nota- ble citizens of the province in a cere- moniay manner in keeping with tradi- tions which reach back to the early days of Indian rulers.
