Students Hear Bird Imitator — 4 — Charles Kellog, naturalist, woods¬ man, rancher, and artist, was scheduled to appear in assembly this morning. Mr. Kellog’s chief talent lay in his ability to imitate birds by singing. Although he cannot whistle, the formation of his throat below the vocal chords enables the noted nat¬ uralist to sing with the range and quality of the bird. Mr. Kellog is in the habit of de¬ voting only three months of the year to lecturing, but in spite of this handicap he has given over three thousand performances in the United States, Canada and Europe. His early life was spent among the Digger Indians and in a -short time he learned all of their ways. He is credited with many seem¬ ingly impossible feats, all of which are explained in his recently pub¬ lished autobiography. C. S. F.
