Sone time last fall the question of whether a. dead China pheas ant was a China pheasant (or a bird), or if it were a carcass oc cupied the legal mind of Oregon. The general opinion prevailed that it was a . carcass. The fol lowing dispatch given out from Olympia, Washington, recently proved ' that our neighbors are wrestling with the same problem : The attorney-general, of Wash ington, is wrestling with a novel question which has been put to him by an individual whose let terhead indicates the writer to be 44 A.

The Eugene Regis ter reports the following: Mrs. A; N. Striker, of College Hill park, had an experience with lightning Friday, while tbe electric storm was on, that she does not care to repeat. As she was using a private neighborhood telephone, a belt of lightning struck her in the face, then took a downward course and hit her with great force on the knees and feet, it then ran across the pantry floor to the kitchen door, thence south and out the kitchen door. Miss Striker who was in the kitchen at the time said the ball of file appeared to be about fifteen inches in diameter and -she thought by the report that every dish and window pane - in the house'was broken. Strange to say there was noth ing burned to mark the path of this bolt, but Mrs. Striker's face and hands were nearly black for about thirty minutes and the whole front of her body seemed to be paralyzed. At this writing Mrs. Striker seems to have re gained her normal condition.
