'■NATUiiAL Science News" is the name 

 of our new weekly Join-nal devoted to 

 Natural History in all its various bran ch- 

 es. You have heard of it. You have 

 doubtless received a sample copy, and 

 may have already sent in your subscrip- 

 tion for it — if not we trust you will do 

 so by return mail. Should you receive 

 an extra copy, place it where it will do 

 us the most good. 



A boomerang in the hands of an 

 American has never yet proven an ef- 

 fective instrument forkilling "big game." 

 It might answer on "a review" or dress 

 parade but even then it would be advis- 

 able for the "boys" to keep away from 

 behind the source whence it emanates. 



The publisher of the Oolugist has on 

 two or three occasions during the past 

 ten years been made the object of un- 

 warranted attacks by journals having 

 an "immense circulation" and which 

 assured the public they had "come to 

 stay." Correct. By reference to our 

 copious notes bearing on the subject 

 we find that all have "staid." 



The Korthwestern Ornithological Association ■ 



The Northwestern Ornithological As- 

 sociation was organized at Portland, 

 Oregon, Dec. 28, 1894. The following 

 officers were elected: Pi'es., Arthur L. 

 Pope; 1st vice pres., Wm. L. Finley; 

 2nd vice pres., G. B. Cheney; Sec, D. 

 Franklin Weeks; Treas., A. B. Averill. 

 All persons in the Northwest who are 

 interested in our bird.« are cordially in- 

 vited to correspond with the Secretary, 

 720 Front St., Portland Oregon. 



As there has been comparatively little 

 work done in ornithogical science in the 

 Northwest it is expected the new asso- 

 ciation will bring to light some inter- 

 esting facts regarding the birds of that 

 section.
