ficauce attaching to the dog fear. But seeing is believing and when he mildly expressed a desire to witness the spectacle, the head man of the band readily sgrend to allow his men to go through the ceremonial if the white men could arrange the necessary preliminaries. Ar- rangements, including the dog, were speedily perfected, and so it is that the eminent map of science and twelve students who are following
his lectures with observing, terests are to sit
in" at probably the first canine food to be held in Seattle...
"I really see nothing objectionable about such a ceremonial," said Professor_Haddon when interviewed yesterday at his residence, "Other people, civilised nations if you please, have their religious feast days. Why not the Igorrotes? And is a dog's life any more sacred than a cows or a pig's or a chicken's, all of which most of us eat with great relish I' I think 'Det in some European coun tries where beifsterk is a luxury there is great den and for horse flash. Some of us proudly boast of having ealed bear steaks. Why not let the Igorrate bave his roast dog, if be likes it? But I am not prepat ing a brief on'tha deg as a foodstuff
"In such ceremonials as the one we are about to witness, the natives will not partake of the meal primarily because they like it. They do it in, the firm belief that by so doing the dog's spirit also becomes part and parcel of 'their own spirits, and that when they go into battle they will fight with all of a dog's courage and ferocity. Some savages eat wild, cats for the same reason: Spectacles like this, if correctly reported,, are valuable contributions to science-the more so for the reason that the wild tribes f-ihe Philippines, like your own American Indians, will not long survive the onslaughts of civilisation. To preserve for posterity & correct, understanding of these strange peoples they must be studied first hand before they have begun to cast off their immemorial customs and traditions.
*This rite, savage though it may seem to us, means just as much to these people as the in. vocations to a Supreme Being haya maoni to Christian armies about to engage in battle, For that reason"} am personally interested in witnessing this strange spectacle so that I may hereafter bear direct testimony to the 'true significance airaáching to the dog feast.
