A fosSJ' morning and a couple of light sprinkles which might al most be called showers, set the ducks flying and kept them on the move, and the air was full of them much of the time. A good day's shooting is reported from all along the river, and better luck la hoped for next Sunday. Ducks are In very good condition, especially widgeon and teal, which have been here for two or three weeks, and have had time to fatten. Mallards are not at their best yet. The Summer, or wood ducks, have mostly gone South. The great flight of ducks from the north is not on yet, but they are straggling along, and the next heavy storm will drive in lots of them. Swan have been passing over, going south, for several daye, but very few have halted here, and, although some decoys were put out for them Sunday, none were shot (About every sportsman seen yesterday was satisfied had shot all the ducks he wanted, except one whose dog swallowed too much bone last season and had to be killed. He was unhappy because he could have shot a hundred ducks If he had had Ills old dog to bring them out of the hardhack bushes. Last Sunday he shot 11 and only got 4 of them, and he would not shoot the ducks to fall into the brush. Life is dreary to a duck hunter who has not a good dog and a good gun. The number of guns turned In for repairs every Mqnday shows that many of them have weak spots. Euectbic Hammer Breaks Asphalt. The electric pavement-breaker is still at work on 'Morrison street cracking and loosening the asphalt preparatory to the tearing up of the roadbed that the rails may be laid. The machine works on the principle of a plledrlver, but instead of a flat-faced hammer has a . snub-nosed sledge, which falls over 10 feet and ef fectively" cracks the pavement. The trol ley of a street-car coupled to the "pile driver" supplies the motive power. As the heavy sledge is drawn upward the machine makes a low moan like the dis tant roar of a sea Hon, and a number of horses that have been on the streets long enough to know better considered their lives in danger and made vigorous pro tests against going near the moaning monster. Sensible old plugs that smile fa miliarly at the steam calliope in a cir cus parade, and nod pleasantly at an automobile pranced like young colts In a clover field. Some of the clerks In the Postofflce say that they believed a tre mendous wind storm Is in progress when the Intermittent moans began close by. "Why Some People Want Frost. People w:ho are beginning to get tired of fresh strawberries at 25 cents per pound are looking rather anxiously for a nice sharp frost any night now to put an end to the strawberry season. Amateur rose growers who read in their youth that "roses bloom in Summer only" are becom ing tired of having them bloom all the Fall and into the Winter, and will not feel sorry to see a frost to check the blooming. The sere and yellow leaf Is anxious to fall, but can't get a start until there has been a frost, and a frost is needed to give . mosauitos. and buzz flies a hint that It is time to "hole up ior the Winter. Mrs. Wallace's Death. Through an error it was stated in yesterday's paper that Mrs. Frances E. Wallace, who died here unexpectedly, was the wife of Mr. Canning, of the firm of Canning & Wal lace. Her husband was W. N. Wallace, who came to this country about 1870, from Indiana. He was a nephew of Judge P. A. Marquam, and was for some years in the employ of the old drug firm of Smith & Davis. He left them and formed a partnership with Dr. J. H. Day, of Walla Walla. Leaving there, he returned to Portland, and had a retail drug store at the corner of First and Oak streets. He has been dead for many years. Tarantula in His Pocket. A live tarantula about two Inches in diameter crawled out of a bunch of bananas at the Pearson-Page Company's store yes terday, and for a few minutes created some excitement, especially as it dropped Into the overalls pocket of the young man who was carrying the fruit. He lost no time In peeling off his overalls and the venomous insect was safely caged. Tarantulas and centipedes are frequently found In newly-arrived trop ical fruit, ana a number of persons here have been bitten by them, but never with fatal results. A Promit Pater. All attorneys know and admit that "prompt settlement of death claims" Is the most important item in a life Insurance contract. Ready cash in hand Is what helps to keep an estate together. The Equitable Life pays more promptly than any other company. Dur ing the past month every one of Its 16S death claims In the United States and Canada was paid within one day after re ceipt of proofs. This excels the society's own great record for promptness; it has never even been approached by any other company. Wilj, Repair Marquam Gulch Bridge. City Engineer Elliot has had the plans for the repairs of the First-street bridge across Marquam Gulch revised, and says he will start a gang of men at work on It the latter part of this week, and will keep them at work until the brides can be opened to travel. He says the repairs oi. me weiaier-street Bridge, now closed to travel, will cost nearly $500, but he cannot start work on the Job until di rected to do so by the Board of Public v orks.

Turner is the man who about two years ago was arrested charged with the larceny of a diamond from Wright's jewelry store, on Morrison street, and when he Tan from the store it was supposed he swallowed the dia mond. Four blocks away he was caught, and he denied that he had taken the dia mond. However, his story was not- be lieved, and an effort wa3 made with the assistance of an X-ray machine to see if the diamond was In the prisoner's body, bu. no Indication of the missing- gem was found. Turner was convicted of the lar ceny of the diamond all the same, and he was sentenced to a term of imprison ment which expired about two weeks ago. Arrests for Not Pating Licenses. Seven warrants were Issued yesterday for the- arrest of John Morgan, Dr. E. L. Lane, G. G. Wicksori, W. N. Daniels. R. E. Phillips, J. Stemfer and Rl E.

Tho cases will come before Municipal Judge Hogue today.- There has lately been a lull in the prosecutions for non payment of business licenses, in the hope that delinquents would settle without forcing the City Attorney's office to issue warrants, but Deputy City Attorney Fitz gerald has prepared a fresh batch of com plaints, and arrests will follow without delay, unless the licenses are taken out in the interval.

WATER-COLOR PAINTING. Added to Public School Course Question of Music Teaching. Every member of the Board of Educa tion was present at the meeting last even ing. The proposal to introduce water color painting into the seventh, eighth and ninth grades, which has been before the board for several meetings was finally adopted. Pupils living outside the city limits who wish to attend the High School without paying tuition cannot do so In the future unless their parents show that they are financially unable to pay the sum required. After much discussion on the advisability of maintaining a su pervisor of music It was decided to call a meeting of the principals of the city Saturday afternoon to learn their opinions and' those of their teachers upon the subject. As Chairman Richard Williams, was de tained for some time, Herman Wittenberg took the 'chair. A request that a child be excused from vaccination was referred to the judiciary committee. Two orphan children living at -the Odd Fellows' Home wish to attend the Clinton Kelly School and this was granted. Five children liv ing in Richmond, -a block outside the city limits, were forced to attend. the South Mount Tabor School, four miles away, it they could not attend the Clinton Kelly School. Permission was given that they come to the city school. A school-furniture drummer announced himself. A famine of desks has pre vailed for some time and Mr. Wittenberg cried Joyfully: "If you have any-desks you're just the man we want to see." The desks are unfortunately In Wisconsin; but will soon be here, as the supply com mittee hailed the chance of more desks with joy. Applications for free tuition which had" been In the hands of the com mittee came up again. Whether or not the parents asking for free scholarships cannot pay the required sum will be as certained. - "The sdhool clerk might write to the head of the family asking him to come and give a post-mortem examination of his finances," said Mr. Wittenberg. The following teachers were appointed: Miss Ethel Wright, fourth grade. Chap man School; Miss Lutie Cake, North Cen tral School; Miss Florence Cox, Stephens School; Miss Florence " Terry, Couch School; Miss Anna Gately, Fernwood School. The night schools will take up their work November 3. Edgar A. MHner was appointed principal of the High School during the night session. J. H. Stanley, of the Sunnyslde, and Frank Care, of the Central, Mrs. B. H. Hogue, Mrs. J. B. Comstock, and W. C. Aldcrson were made assistants at the High School. Pupil teachers who do extra work will be paid by an appropriation passed by the board each month. The practicability of enlarging the musical work in the schools was dis cussed. Some thought that the special work was taking up too much of the students' tlrnfc, wlille others declared that the special exercises were beneficial. After this matter has been decided the moment ous qustion of selecting a supervisor of music will be undertaken. To learn the opinion of the principals on the musical question, they will all be asked to meet in the school clerk's ofilce Saturday after noon at 2:30 o'clock. AFTER LIVESTOCKMEN.

For true lovers of music the Royal Italian Band brings untold pleasure. Fa vorites the members of it always have been, but they show great improvement, and the new leader, Signor EmlHo Rlvela, is marvelous. The dominant feeling as one listens is that of being carried away into a country where pure emotion finds pure expression. Quality, of tone, beauty of phrasing, and passionate rhythm are all In the music that sweeps out at the beckoning of the conductor. The arrangement of the programme proved especially acceptable and in the matter of encore Signor Rivela was most courteous. His band has all the pre cision that could be desired and there was no inordinate waits between the numbers. The concert started oft prompt ly with a march by Rlvela himself. This was a most brilliant one anu before the last crisp phrase was ended, the audi ence settled delightfully in the seats. To the encores another of Rivela's was rendered, his sym phonic march "Diavoll Rossi," a mar vel of rhythm. To the overture from "William Tell" was added as an encore the lovely "Narcissus" of Nevln. No finer example could possibly be given of the tenderness that this military band can express. The phrasing was particularly bewitching and clear. The harp soloist, SIg. Setaro, was called back again and agalni His clarity of tone and the sweetners of his rhythm were de lightful. It Is not often that one may hear such depth and feeling from a harp. All In all, it would be lmpossTDle to find greater muslclanly talent than In this Royal Italian Band. From first to last their work displays feeling and beautiful technique and above all, careful training carried to the point of exquisite perfec tion. Tonight will be the band's last night at the Marquam. The programme will in clude, by request, the .sextet from "Lucia dl Lammermoor." OVATION TO BURNIIARDT.

Every pleasure that sound can give is condensed on its cylinders, and the priv ilege of "boxing" your own and your friend's voices for future use is a never failing source of enjoyment. Its variety is Inexhaustible, for as long" as human genius keeps on producing new music, new recitations, new instruments, the phonograph goes on making perma nent the otherwise fleeting pleasure. The charm of the enjoyment depends on the clearness and accuracy of the repro duction, and for this reason the Edison phonograph gives greater satisfaction than any other device sold for "this pur pose. With the new reproducer and new mold ed .records, the phonograph is perfect. For sale by Graves & Co. 124 Oth Street. Corner Washington Visitors Welcome. n EXTRACT a!
