QUAKE FOOLED
THE RAVENS
Birds in Air Darted to Trees as
Though for Protec
tion
It was noticed yesterday that
I he se.ismie- disturbances had a
cuiioiis efTcct upon animals and
birds. The sensibilities of ani
mals are generally supposed to
be much keener than those of
man and when fear strikes home
with overwhelming force they
seem to realize the uselessness of
trying to evade it through flight
Unless startled by equally terri
fied human beings.
Dogs manifest their terror by
lying flat on the ground and whin
ing as though suffering from the
sting of a lash. .Horses were no
ticed to brace themselves with feet
wide apart and stand trembling
not unlike a sensitive human be
ing who is overawed by the im
mensity of the force which rocks
the earth itself.
The most singular of the many
amusing incidents witnessed while
the disturbance was greatest is
reported in connection with a
flock of ravens which roost in the
trees near the. brewery. An ob
server who had the opportunity
of witnessing the ravens says
their terror seem* to be as com
plete as that of animals. When
the shock was first fell, the birds
which wen' flying about darted
like an arrow to the nearest tree
for protection, where they grip
ped lln» branches and were whip
ped about with the tree. w
II is very doubtful if the trem
ors <»f the earth had any efTect
whatever upon the air and it is
probable that the mistaken in
stinct of the birds caused them
to seek the shelter of some
friendly tree. They no doubt saw
the trees being whipped from
side to side as though by a gale
and sought their accustomed shel
ter from force of habit. If such
is the case il is only another il
lustration of making imaginary
troubles really happen, f«»r had
they continued their flight in the
a'r they would have escaped the
hufTeliug among the branches.

RESTING EASY
Physician Has 8trong Hopes of
Saving Use of Leg for
Victim
James Fielder, 'he well known
miner, who is in the hospital suf
fering from wounds caused by a
piemalure dynamite explosion,
which blew oir his right hand, is
resting easy but is not y«*t out of
danger.
Mr. Sleem rcporls that Field
er's leg is in very bad shape and
is causing some anxiety through
fear of blood poisoning sotting in
which would necessitate the am
putation of I he limb. The phy
sician stales the wounds are ap
parently doing nicely and every
thing will result favorably if all
the debris has been removed from
the flesh. The wound was so se
vere that it has been impossible
lo tell the outcome as yet, but. Mr.
Fielder's friends hope for tbc
best.
