mystery. When the firemen arrived
the room was filled with smoke and
the location of the fire for a few min

finally located In the rear of the build

not until the dense smoke had dam

There was practically no damage from
water, as the fire was confined to a
limited area.
heaviest vote against the sale of the
property came from the Fourth ward,
where Harrison school was located,
the measure failing by 111 ballots.
Many reasons were given by those
who voted against the sale. There
were echoes of the stadium project,
snored under at the special election
of a year ago by a landslide vote, some
having the mistaken notion that the
money from the sale of the Harrison
school property would be used in buy
ing a site for a manual training school
near the high school. Closing of sa

"Kiss Me Not" signs 'and buttons,
worn by babies and others interested
in the anti-germ movement, will soon
be replaced by buttons reading, '.'Kiss
Me Quick." We are approaching an
era of kissing, and osculation will be
taken up again, perhaps, more
than ever. All the result of an article
appearing in a Berlin publication and
written by Prof. Adolph Paskau, a
noted Eavant and physiologist.
"Kissing," declares the professor,
"instead of being harmful, is highly
beneficial in more ways than one.
The recent notion that kissing
spreads germs and that it is for that
Teason a dangerous diversion, is all
foolishness. As a matter of fact, it
eoothes the nerves and is very bene
ficial to persons of a highly sensitive
or nervous temperament. The idea
that tuberculosis is contracted through
the intima'e embrace Is exceedingly
improbable and I am sure at least thaj
this is not true in Germany. The
world has struggled along for some
ten thousand years or more without
abolishing the kiss and I think we can
go aong as well for that, length of
while to come. Kissing is as health
ful as it is enjoyable."
This news from as authoritative a
source as Professor Paskau- will
bring joy and elation to - many. It
cannot be denied that under proper
circumstances and favorable sur
roundings, most of us take great de
light in kissing. Particularly if our
cpmpanion is a congenial member of
the opposite gender. Professor
Paskau,- however, will receive the
loudest and most resounding cheers
from that foolishly happy class of
persons, the young in love. And
when these glad tidings reach them
they will pause between clinches and
voice a ringing Huzzah for Professor
Paskau.
Denver, Co'.o., July 24. Buffalo
Bill's Wild West and Pawnee Bill's
Wild East show did not leave for
Colorado Springs Tuesday night to fill
its date in that city. Instead it re
mained in Denver, held fast by an at.
tachment for $66,000 and the failure of
itg owners to agree upon a basis of set
tlement. Under the writ of attachment in
favor of the. United States Lithograph
ing and Printing company of Chicago,
which was issued Monday afternoon,
deputy eheriffs collected the proceeds
of the show made Monday night, some
$6,200, and were again on hand Tues
day night.
Adolph Marks of Chicago, who rep
resents the lithographing company, is
said to have agreed to a".low the com
pany to proceed on its tour upon the
payment of $25,000 of the $66,000
claim. Maj. Gordon W. Lillie (Paw
nee Bill) agreed to pay his share of
this amount, but could not come to an
understanding with Col. W. F. Cody
(Buffalo Bill) whereby the latter
would meet his half.

Attack "Dry" Brewer.
Rockford. III., July 24. Alleging
that John Petritz of the Rockford
Brewery company is interested in
conducting a non-union brewery, tha'-
be is responsible fcr Rockford being
a dry city; that he has grown rich at
the expense cf workingmen, and that
he "beasts he sells more beer with less
expense than when the town had regu
lated ea.oons," circulars attacking
both Mr. Petrttz and the brewery have
been circulaed in Rockford by the
International Union of the United
Brewery Workers of America. The
attack comes as a surprise to the
Petritz people. Frank Petritz, a eon,
says every statement in the circular
is false. '
To Select Women Jurors.
Taylorville, 111., July 24. The local
police officers are expected to select
a woman jury for service in the local
circuit court within the near future,
and if this action is taken it will be
the firBt in central Illinois to be
chesen under the provisions of the new
statute, giving the women of the state
the suffrage right. Chief of Police
Link has stated that in the near fu
ture he will select a woman jury for
service and the move is anxiously
awaited by attorneys and all interest
ed in the suffrage question. It has
been shown that only those women
whose names are on the register can
be selected fcr jury service, and be
cause of ths fact those women who
are opposed to suffrage and who do
cot vote will be eliminated from jury
service.
Arrange Bond Issue.
Monmouth, III., July 24. The mem
bers of the finance committee of the
city council held a conference with a
representative of N. W. Harris & Co.
of Chicago, at big bond house, which is
negotiating for the purchase of ?he
new city hall bonds to be issued, for
the erection of the new city structure.
The sale of the bonds is one of the
first steps toward the erection of the
new building to be taken. These bonds
are in denominations of $100 each, and
run for 20 years. & part of them to be
paid at the option of the city sooner
than the expiration of that date. While
it is not known what bid the Chicago
house will make on the bonds it is be
lieved that they will, go readily at a
premium.
Trying to Banish Echo.
Champaign, 111., July 24. No longer
will the distracting echo of the audi
torium of the University of Illinois re
sound and make the only speaking
hall of the Illinois state university dis
agreeable, if work' that started today
gets results. The echo has been bad
at the auditorium since the building
was completed several years ago. The
Illinois magazine, a student publica
tion, recently published that the echo
was haunting. In an extended article
It was told how many former students
came back to their alma mater only to
listen to some of tie declamations
they made on their graduation day
several years previous. The echo, ac
cording to the magzaine, nao been re
tained all this time. Prof. Robinson
devised a 6ystera of draperies that he
declares will banish the echo forever.

Pigeons and Chickens Can See What
Is Invisible to Man.
It has been slowly brought to our
understanding that the world is not
the same to all creatures, and probably
no experiments have tended more to
make this clear than those on the
color sense of chickens, pigeons, owls
and kestrels.
Hungry chickens and pigeons were
first kept an hour in a bright room for
them to become accustomed to the
light The floor was then jjpread with
a smooth black cloth, evenly covered
with grains of wheat, a strong spec
trum was thrown on it from the ceil
Ing and the hungry animals were turn
ed loose. They picked the wheat' first
from the bright red. then the ultra red
nest the yellow and finally the green.
They touched nothing in the blue and
violet because they saw nothing; but.
on the other band, they saw the grains
in the ultra red that were invisible to
the men.
This proved that for chickens and
pigeons the spectrum is shortened at
the violet end of short wave length
and extended at the red end of long
wave length. This is the effect oue
might expect from wearing orange col
ored glasses pnd demonstrated that
fowls see through such spectacles in
the form of yellow and orange oil
globules embedded in the light sensi
tive layer.
To kestrels and buzzards the bright
est zone was the green instead of the
red. the blue being .visible. To owls
the colors were as men see them.
