Is Dead Bird a Bird?
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

proved ' that our neighbors are
wrestling with the same problem :

It is unusual for anyone to re
late damage of any nature as the
result of an electric storm in this
country, but is an old saying that
"you can't tell where lightning
will strike." 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.
