FAITHFUL TO 1THE LAST.
A. Royal Gucci's Marniflcanl Thirst
UnaaMatiad.
In other lands there are drinks far
beyond ours in strength and strangeness.
There is the Russian vodki for instance.
A gill of it poured 4owna Cartbagenian
mummy will set that long-dead person
to fighting all his Panic battles over
again. In the forceful language of the
West, "Two drinks of it will make a
man go home and steal his own pants."
The .West Indian gets from the cocoa
nut clear pure water, .toddy and arrack,
which' is a rock-splitting brandy. Of
their toddy Boyle says, "It looks like
skim milk and BmellsBike-500 Slaves in
a pen."
The Marquesans bave .a -seductive
drink called aroo. . A number of young
. boys sitting in a circle chew fresh cocoa
nut, and when it is sufficiently masti
cated expectorate it into a bowl that is
the common receptacle. Freeh water is
poured upon this delectable mixture
and it is allowed to ferment. The South
Sea islanders prepare the awa root in the
same way. Paul du Chaillu once found
a wonderful drunkard ia the person of
the king of Olenga Yombi. When he
was an infant his father would take him
to the top of a email tree and force bim
to drink palm wine, until he came to
prefer it to his mother's milk,
It was the ingenious parent's ambi
tion to make bim the champion boozer
of equatorial Africa, and he succeeded.
. The king of Olenga Yombi in Du
Chaillu'8 time had been solidly drunk
for 15 years, and when last heard from
was calling loudly for another goordful
East Oregonian.
Arthur Bodges, our efficient county
-clerk, some time ago received a letter
from S- P. Dunn of Cbico conveying tbe
sad news of the killing of bis brother,
W. A. Dunn, who was a reeident of this
. county. Mr. Dunn started to California
with some horses for tbe purpose of dis
posing of tbem in that state. When at
Butte meadows, Butte county, Califor
nia, be was in some manner kicked by a
horse and instantly killed. The letter

Alt Kit Records Again Broken. .
Blub Hill Observatory, Mass., Sept.
20. All kite records were broken here
yesterday, when tbe topmost kite of a
string -of seven, of the Hargraye type,
with four miles of wire, attained an alti
tude of 10.016 feet above sea level, and
S50teet above the summit of the hill
An aluminum box was sect up contain
ing instruments for recording pressure,
tmnrieratnre and humidity, and was
swung 350 feet below the topmost kite,
At tbe highest point a temperature of
38 degrees was recorded, while it was 60
at the surface of tbe -earth. ' At a height
of 4000 feet the humidity roso rapidly,
b.ut sank again at a mile, where it was
quite low.. At 7000 feet it again rose,
and aoon reached a point where there
was almost a -complete saturation in the
air. From there up tbe atmosphere be
came dry, until at tbe highest point
there was -scarcely any moisture record'
ed. At the ground tbe humidity all the
afternoon was quite low.

THE AMERICAN INDIAN.
Scientific Research to Ascertain
His True Origin.
He Xny Han Come from Al and of
Mona-ollan Stock A Favorite
Notion of Some Scl-
entlata.
Scientists, and laymen nlso, will
watch with considerable interest lor
results to come from the expedition of
Dr. Frank Boas, the eminent ethnolo
gist of the American Museum of Nat
ural History, in search of evidence that
tbe American Indian came originally
from Asia and was of Mongolian stock.
Dr. Boas has gone to British Columbia
and Alaska, where the Indian blood that
is left is purest and where, presumably,
the Mongolian connection most ap
parent ia the natural condition of the
primitive tribes, if it is to be fcund at
all. The passage of the red men across
the Behring straits from northwestern
Asia, and so'down into the great con
tinent of America, has always been
rather a favorite notion in the scientific
mind, and while there is sometimes a
striking facial resemblance between
individuals of the Pacific coast tribes
and individuals of the Chinese and Tar
tar nations, there seems little real evi
dence to sustain the scientific hypothe
sis beyond the admitted fact that pas
sage between the continents of Asia
and North America across the straits
would be easy by even the most primi
tive means of water travel. Then,
the Chinese have been navigators since
they were first known to the people of
Europe, and might well have crossed
the Pacific at its narrowest part, or
even stray junks might have been car
ried across by stress of weather in pre
historic, as they have been known to
be carried in historic .times. But the
Chinese, the Mongolians, are of a race
which does not readily lose racial char
acteristics. These peoples have con
structive and intricate language, where
as the tongues of tbe Indians are of tbe
most primitive kind, and if they are
really Mongolians they present the
strange spectacle of a race which has
not only lost its original speech and its
original customs and traditions, but

each little group of which, forming
separate tribe, has built for itself anew
speech made of sounds in imitation of
the cries of animals, to which arbitrary
meanings have been attached, each
tribe creating for itself new customs
and new traditions growing out of its
own immediate environment.
The American Indian certainly bad
no more tradition of Mongolian origin
than of origin in tbe lost continent of
Atlantis, the hills and rivers and lakes
immediately surrounding him making
his world, and the stories banded down
in particular tribes -of migration from
a . land to the westward might mean
that the tribes came from places ten
miles or 10,000 miles in that direction.
Some of the tribes, notably the Natchez,
had traditions of both eastward and
westward tribal movements, and, al
though little is known' of this particular
tribe, exterminated very early in the
history of white occupation of the con
tinent, it is known that it differed in
language, appearance and habits from
the tribes surrounding it. Again, the
Indians dwelling -on the islands in the
Santa Barbara channel, also perishing
early, are known to have been a su
perior race to that on the mainland
from Which the islanders were sepa
rated by less than 30 miles of water,
stronger, of little color, more intelli
gent and less sullen.
This- strong and strange distinction
between tribes dwelling side by side
on the American continent was not at
all unusual, seeming to indicate rather
the progressive development of a race
sui generis than the va-ing decline of
a race fallen from another and a differ
ent civilization. The Iroquois and the
Creeks achieved confederacy and civil'
government, while Indians all about
them were savage, and the Aztecs and
the Peruvians were as civilized along
different lines as the Europeans of
their day. It is not, indeed, an extrav
agant supposition that if the discovery
of America had been delayed 500 years
Americans would have discovered Eu
rope although there is against it tbe
action of that great law which seems
to impel race movement . toward the
west. The same law runs, also,
against the theory that the Indians
were a wave of Mongolians moving east
ward in search of new homes. The
limitation of the scientist lies in this,
that, because Asia was the cradle of our
own race, we conceive it to have betTn
the cradle of every other. Is a race
peculiar to America an impossible con
ception? San Francisco Bulletin.
Echo I'aed to Measure Distances. -
A most interestingmethod of employ
ing the echo of a sound has been de
vised for the location of the carriers
which sometimes lodge in the under
ground pneumatic tubes. Knowing
that sound travels at a speed of, rough
ly 1,100 feeb per second1, and knowing
the. time measured in thousandths of a
second between the firing of a pistol
rhot in the conduit and the arriving of
tbe echo at the outlet of the tube, a sim
ple calculation gives the exact location
of the obstruction. The means of five
experiments in the recent test gave 2,-
793 seconds, and when the sound' veloc
ity was corrected foY" air temperature
the obstruction was located at 1,537 feet
from the instrument, which was the ex
act location. Science.
It Had Spoiled Cap's Eph's Flshlngr,
" Rat Was Landed by Medford Ram. "
The Educated Crab came to grief the
other day and Cap'n Eph Browles vis
ited the village to celebrate the event.
When last seen, bound over the hills of
liardscrabble, he was close hauled and
laying a course as tortuous as t he wake
of a mackerel smack beating to wind
ward against tide and a stiff no'th
a aster. --'-' --"-"l
Cap'n Eph had been fishing for the
Educated Crab ever since he was so
afflicted with rheumatism that he had
to knock off cruising between Bishop
and Clerk's lighthouse and the Hand
kerchief ledge, and do all his fishing in
the bay or off the breakwater. He had
always maintained that the Educated
Crab was raised in Buzzard's bay and
that it had legs around New Bedford,
t showed a vicious knowledge, accord
ing to Cap'n Eph, only to have been
gained, by long experience among
whalemen.
"I s'pose that air crab hez been afoul
my line at least 'leven hundred times,"
remarked .Cap'n Eph when he stood in
front of the post office and displayed the
cadaver of the ' crab, which he had
brought from the beach -carefully
wrapped in a paper.
"How do I know it's the same crab?
Don't yer s'pose I kin tell his figger
head from yourn? (addressing the
neighbor on his left and pointing to the
one on his right.) Crabs hev phizes jest
ez much ez pussons. 'Sides, there never
wus a crab afore that wuz sheathed all
along its keel and deck with barnacles.
I've hearn tell thet yer could tell th' age
uv a rattlesnake by th' rattles he steered
by. Ef thet holds good in th' case uv
crabs this'n' must be nigh a thousand
years old.
"It ud steal bait f a6ter'n a hull school
uv fryers. Thet's where his eddication
cum in. I've leaned over the gunwale
when I wuz fishing in clear water an'
watched him skirmish 'round mor'n 50
times. He'd go skuttlin' 'round my hook
four or five times, jea' ter get th bear
ings uv th' bait, but he wouldn't make
no effort ter tech th' bait until he'd gone
up ag'in th' tide for two or three fath
oms. Then he'd come sailin' back with
the tide on his beam an' heave, to about
three inches from my line.
"Every other crab would hev jea'
grabbed fur th' bait an' made sail. That
wuzn't th' style of th' Eddicated Crab,
howsomever he'd jes' port his helm an'
swing athwart th' tide till he'd got his
starboard claw fore an' aft with my line,
an' then he'd grab th' hook by th' eye
an' pint its biziness end away from bis
belly while he picked the bait off with
his port claw. It didn't matter how fast
I hauled in th line, he'd hev th' hook
bare by th' time I rized him to the edge
uv th' water.
"He spiled my fishin' fur three sum
mers, but I kotched him at last. How
it cum about shows that th' smartest
crab ain't no way superior to man ef it
meddles with rum. Night afore las' I
opened half a bucket ur clams an' set
the bait down by the table right under
where I'd sot a nigh about full bottle uv
Medford rum; what I used to rub my
leg fur rheumatiz. I'd disremembered
all. about that bottle when I cum hum
long about nine o'clock o night an'
tried to light th glim. Whilst I wuz
f oolin 'round fur a match I knocked th
bottle over an most all the likker
swashed down on tbem air clams. I
cussed myself fur a lubber all night.
fur I had pains in my leg an' stumach
mighty bad. But I ain't sorry thet I
spilled th' likker now, seein' that I
kotched th' eddicated crab.
I thot ez the likker would be likely
to spile th' bait, an' sure enough I didn't
git a bite till th tide wuz about ebb an
th' ole crab hove in sight. He took to
the rum soaked bait jest ez kindly ez a
prohibitionist away from hum. He
cleaned my hook an' made sail fur his
port, but bimeby he cum back under
full headway an' seemed dreadful eager
fur 'nother bite. He "got it, but acted
so wobbly that it sot me ter thinkin.
Says I ter myself, 'you bev sartainly got
brains enough to git tangled up in
your latitude ef you hist in much more
uv that cargo.' So I jist jambed th'
hook full uv rum-soaked clams an' let
Cap'n Crab navigate all over the bottom
with it. Bimeby I seed thet he was too
wobbly ter steer within three pints uv
bis course. He bed to tack half a dozen
times afore he could lay himself along
side the hook when I baited up agin
and then be jest grabbed at th' bait,
book and all, regardless o' conse
Irecences. I let him git a good hold
afore I yanked, an' when I did give a pull
on th line I druv th' hook nigh half
through his port quarter. It wasn't !
time for th' wink ur a yallerleg's eye
afore I hed bim in th' boat; an' he lay
thar an' blinked at me ez drunk ez a
shanghaied foremast band in th' fo'kas-
tle uv a Baltimore packet. Thet's how
I kotched th' eddicated crab. Boston
