THE BIRD WAS THERE.-""
A Surprise Far the Man Who Investi
gated tha Nawa "Fake."
Some years ago strange, weird sto
ries used to float Into Washingtou from
Kitty Hawk. N. C, describing a great
I'lrti, seen only at night, hovering over
the sand dunes and brushwood ot the
locality. ,
It was so preposterous that Kitty
Hawk was soon eliminated as a news
source In every metropolitan newspa
per office. Washington would not ac
cept such stories under any circum
stances. The boys on Newspaper row
were too experienced to be caught by
North Carolina fakers.
Kitty Hawk was wiped off (lie news
mop.
And yet the reports of the "greitt
bird seen only after nightfall!" were
absolutely true. After some of us had
exhausted our fund of oriental lore
atwut the roc (hat. gigantic bird that
was of such use to anxious Pcbahera
sade of the ""Thousand and One
Nlghls'' In rescuing Slnbad and other
unlucky travelers from dangcr-and
others had gone so far as to snggest a
return of the fahled dodo in stupendous
proportions, It wes finally suggested
that somebody go to Kitty Hawk and
expose the faker.
"Not on your life!" said I. "There
are as many fakes right here In Wash
ington every twenty-four hours as 1
care to expose."
The ono wan who finally went with
deep reluctance fathomed the mystery
and literally "discovered" that two
young Ohio boys, the Wright brothers
of Dayton, had solved the "Impossible"
problem of aerial flight. Julius Cham
bers, In the Brooklyn Eagle.
After an extended visit in the
Eastern part of the state, Lester
Ingram returned to Heppner last
week and is again to be found at
his old position as oight clerk of
the Palace Hotel.
After spending about two
weeks in Portland visiting, Mr.
and Mrs Chas. Vaughn returned
to Heppner the first of the week.
Miss Mae Rhea, who has been
spending several weeks in Pen
dleton, the guest of her aunt,
Mrs. Cobn, returned to Hepp
ner the first of last freek.
Louis Pearson left last week
for a week end business visit in
Portland.
I. C. Bennet returned to Hepp
ner last week after having been
in the sheep business in Nevada
for some time.
Frank Rasmus was a business
visitor in Heppner Wednesday.
John Bush, a former resident

Energy Expended In Playing a Bach
Aria en tha Calle.
A simple air played on the violon
cello calls for a total expenditure of
energy equal to two and three-quarters
pound per note or more than four tons
of energy for the single selection, notes
Uie Popular Science " Monthly. This
statement Is vouched for by Trofessor
1'offenbergcr of Columbia university,
who made some experiments In his
laboratory with the aid of the famous
Dutch cellist, Michael Tenha.
A special apparatus Is necessary to
couduct the tests. Against the surface
of a revolving carbon cylinder Is sus
pended a chalked point which Is actu
ated by a slender wire attached to the
musician's finger. At each pressure
the tension vibrates along the commu
nicating connection and records the en
ergy expended.
At one test Michael Fenha at times
raised the point to a distance equaling
three pounds In weight, that being the
record of (he forefinger. The pressure
alone required to produce the charac
teristically luscious tones of a simple
Bach aria averaged two and three
quarter pounds per note. The total
energy expended amounted to 0,414
pounds, or more than four tons.
This same amount of energy would
be sufficient to carry a laborer through
his entire day's work. Yet It took but
five minutes for the artist to exert the
same amount of force.

8nkt' Method of Attack.
No snake Is able to Jump or spring
from a coll In order to strike, as often
represented In pictures. H can only
strike when It resembles the Jetter 8
and Is lying flat on the ground. It can
then only reach the distance supplied
by stretching the body out straight.
The two curves In the letter S supply
this distance, which Is about half the
length of the body. No snake Jumps
t through the air to Its vMlm or springs
' clear from the ground, rising upon Its
! tall. 8uch stories and pictures are all
fabe. Neither do they coll like a rope
! and strike from that position. They
may roil partially, but tho part of the
body that does the striking Is ever and
only that part which makes the letter
S and lies flat on the ground; hence no
erpent can strike when stretened out
Its full length.
