Father Aloysius at St. Benedict's Catholic Mission here for the past year: "It is not strange, after all, that after many years the Land of the Ojibways, in which Father Mar quette labored so Jong and faith fully, should produce a native priest of brilliant attainments. A graduate of a divinity school he is also a graduate of several Euro pean Catholic institutions. "Rev. Philip Gordon, this priest, is an energetic young man and he works with great zeal for his church and his people. has been honored by the Society of American Indians with the office of Chairman of the Advisory Board.

Scientists have in vain studied the boomerang to discover the secret of its "wious Uight. It is aga'nst all laws of gravitation that an objet hurled into space should return to the same spot froKi which it was cast, as it i* impos sible to explain the eccentric action of a curved ball. The boomerang is a'l the more marvelous "when we con sulci that the savages of Australia were first to use it and to apply the peculiar pro itie of its form. A German scientist found that there were larger and smaller boomerangs The larger ones are slender crescent.? i plain on the lower side, rounded or top, pointed at each end and sharpened toward the edges. The lower end i? cross-grooved to aid in holding it. Th* careful manner in which the savages manipulated the weapon, trying its sliape, testing its qualities and scraping itdown, is significant of the importance ifcs in the Agency office here until '.vrht curvature.

The smaller boomerangs are bent at an angle of forty-rive degrees, but are in other re spects conformed to the larger ones. An exhibition, of boomerang-throw ing revealed a degree of strength in the natives which Vas in astonishing contrast with the thinness of their forms.

The curve which the vcapou de Sv'tihes in its return is not a screw-line or a spiral, but is more like a figure 8.
