THAT IS THE EXPLANATION OF
THE MYSTERY ABOUT THE
WHITE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON.—Never were the
plans and movements of an Orierxt,ali
despot shrouded in greater mystery
than those of President Wilson at
this time. : ” |
Which is just another way of say
ing that Woodrow Wilson is extreme
ly touchy about his illness. And, un
like other American citizens, Wood
row Wilson is president and has the
authority to make his movements and
his plans just as secret as he wishes.
Do you remember when your dad
was sick? Didn’t the inquisitive old
lady next door finally ‘‘get on your
nerves” with her persistent queries
about his health? You felt it wasn’t
that she cared so much about your
dad, but that she was just anxious to
have some gossip to spread about the
town.
You remember she was all keyed
up the day the second doctor arrived
for a consultation. She could hardly
wait to ask you what he said.
Well, that is sabout the way the
white house regards questions about
the president’s health. It suspects
the motive, Perhaps it has reason to
do so, particularly since the publica
tion of Senator Moses’ letter with its
repetition of backstairs gossip. On
the other hand, it is only fair to say
that persons close to the president
have failed to appreciate the since{e
and sympathetic interest that the
people of this country, regardless of
party, feel in the health of the presi
dent,
Take, for instance, the matter of
the president’s vacation. It has been
said, and apparently truthfully, that
the Mayflower, the president’s yacht,
has been renovated for his use, and
an elevator installed in it, and that
any time he spends away from Wash
{lngton this summer will be aboard
er.
If the president were not so ex
tremely sensitive there would be no
reason to make any secret of this. If
a man cannot mount stairs without an
effort it is no disgrace for him to use
an elevator.
But officials both of the white
house and the navy department,|
which has jurisdiction over the yacht,l
assure you that they know nothing
at all about the matter.
A number of reasons were ad
vanced for Wilson’s decision not to go
to Wood’s Hole, Mass. But that does
not explain why he has not gone to
the dozen or more available resorts.
The only explanation is that the
president is not yet a well man, and
that in the present state of his health
it is better for him to stay in his own
home, the white house,
If extremely torrid days come the
president will probably escape them
aboard the Mayflower, remaining
away perhaps for two or three days at
a time.

Obelisk Cried Out at Sunrise
' For Many Hundreds of Years
At Thebes, Egypt, is an ancient obe
lisk that tradition says gave out a
musical sound every morning for hun
dreds of years. As early as 1400 B.
C. the name of Memnon became at
tached to the northernmost of two
colossal statutes, built of gray and
red sandstone, standing on the west
bank of the Nile at Thebes. Memnon
was the son of Eos, the Dawn, and had
‘been killed in the Trojan war by
Achilles. The sounds emitted at sun
rise from the top of the monument
were supposed to be the salutations
of Memnon to his mother, Eos. The
monument was broken over by an
earthquake in 27 B. C., but was re-‘
stored with the aid of brickwork in
170 A. D., but ever since that time
it has ceased to give out the sonorous
sounds. .
30,000 POUND FISH
ITS LIVER ALONE WEIGHS 1,700;
LENGTH 45 FEET; MOUTH
50 INCHES WIDE.
’ MIAMI, Fla.—Was Jonah swal
‘lowed by a whale? According to the
Biblical story it was a fish of this na
ture that entertained the prophet in
its interior for three days and nights,
but the limited size of the whale’s
throat is said to preclude the possi
bility of its swallowing a man.
However, there was caught here,
recently, a fish that could have
lunched on twenty Jonahs without
suffering the slightest pang of indi
gestion, and among the many per
sons who have seen the fish are cler
oymen who have formulated the the
ory that it was really a fish of this
species that swallowed Jonah,
It’s Liver Weighed 1,700 Pounds.
Here is the way this denizen of the
deep shapes up in the way of dimen
sional figures, The net weight of the
fish, when caught, not including its
last meal, was thirty thousand
pounds. It’s liver alone touched the
beams at seventeen hundred pounds,
which is about the weight of a hefty
bullock, From end to end is meas
ured 45 feet, which his equal to the
combined length of eight normal
men. At the thickest part the cir
cumference is 22 feet 9 inches.
®ne of the most impressive fea
tures of the fish is its mouth, which
is 50 inches wide and 43 inches deep.
Inside of the mouth is a tongue 40
inches long, and it has a multitude of
teeth much smaller than a baby’s.
Nobody has ever attempted to count
these molars. The tail resembles the
caudal appendage of an airplane and
measures 10 feet from tip to tip.
Was Baby of Its Species.
But big as the fish is, it died in in
fancy. Scientists who have meas
ured its cartilaginous formations say
they are far from developed, and
that had this monster attained full
growth it would have been two and a
half times as large as it is now.
According to the scientists of the
Smithsonian Institution the animal is
a whale-shark, and is the first speci
men of its kind that has been cap
tured. They state further that it is
an inhabitant of water of 1,500 feet
depth, its hide of sufficient thickness
to withstand the most enormous
water pressure, and its eyes, which
Visitors came in large numbers to
hear the alleged cry, and during the
time that the monument was broken
over 72 inscriptions were cut in Greek
and Latin attesting that many noted
visitors had heard the sound. Many
of these inscriptions are in verse. Men
'of the highest rank, including Em
peror Hadrian, traveled to Egypt
specially to hear the cry. Hadrian
claimed the cry was very distinet to
him.
Today the natives till the soil un
der the shadow of the monument,
plowing with crooked sticks exactly
as they did all those centuries ago
when the obelisk was young. The
wheels of progress to all appearances
have stood still since the fourteenth
gen}tury B. C. when the statues were

have no lids and consequently were
never closed, indicate that it dwelt
at a depth where eyes are of no
avail.
The Smithsonian scientists believe
that it was thrown up by some sub
terranean volecanie disturbance,
which injured its diving apparatus so
that it was unable to return to its
natural levels and that thus disabled

the monsters of the deep.
Capt. Charles H. Thompson of
Miami caught the fish while crusing

TWO SERIOUS AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENTS IN ONE NIGHT.
Mr. Herman Will Lose Eye as Result
of One. Mr. Griggs’ Foot Injured.
Two automobile accidents in Daw
son Thursday were serious and rep
ettable results.
While turning a corner at the resi
dence of Mrs. N. W. Dozier on Lee
Street an Olds automobile struck an
electric light pole, threw the occu
pents, Messrs ‘F. W. Herman and
Lawson Melton, out. The machine
was practically demolished and Mr.
Herman seriously injured, his face
and eyes being badly cut by shatter
ed glass. It is feared that he will lose
one of his eyes.
On Church street a car driven by
Mr. D. S. Griggs struck the stone
curbing at a corner and considerably
shook up and bruised the occupants.
The concussion discharged a pistol,
which hit Mr. Grigg’s foot and made
a painful wound.

SOCIALIST NOMINEE FOR PRES
ENT, IN PRISON IN ATLANTA
REFUSES INTERVIEWS.
Whereas most of the candidates
for president of these United States
are on the very best of terms with
newspaper correspcndents and rather
crave their society at times, at least
the opposite prevails in the federal
prison at Atlanta, Ga., where Eugene
V. Debs, choice of the socialists, has
been doing his very best since his
notification to avoid seeing them.
It was announced at the prison that
Mr. Debs will not submit in the fu
ture to any more prison interviews.
The socialist candidate has writ
ten a letter to Attorney General
A, Mitchell Palmer making the re
quest that the department of justice
in the future refrain from granting
permission to newspaper men for en
tering the prison and seeking inter
views from him.
In the last few weks Mr. Debs has
refused to be interviewed by news
associations, reporters and special
writers. He has also persisted in re
fusing to give his views on the candi
dates of the republican and demo
cratic parties. Mr. Debs does not care
to indulge in personalities, it was
said. Two mail clerks are employed
