Seattle Republican

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Price One Year, $3.00. Single Copies, 10 Cents. God Almighty and the Republican party still rule. Taft was elected president of the United States last Tuesday, receiving 298 electoral votes, fifty-six more than he needed. He William Howard Taft got what was coming to him, a presidential triously earned it. Mr. Taft did not get a single electoral vote from the so called Solid South, which is a source of disappointment to him, but with few exceptions he got the solid vote of the North. It will thus be observed that once again the North is arrayed against the South. It will be ever thus, and the South will always be looked upon as an enemy to the commonweal so long as it follows in the foot steps it has trodden for lo, these many years. Despite the volumes of misrepresentations heaped upon the head of the Hon. Samuel G. Cosgrove by the withered old feotus of the Seattle Daily Times, the journalistic swillbarrell of the Northwest, he has led the state ticket and Mr. Pattison-Preston, the Saw It in the Times? Dam Lie! human oddity that the Democrats pleaded with the voters to elect governor of the state, has been turned down with such a dull sickening thud that his Buffalo relatives must have heard the echo of the noise of his fall when he hit the bottom. The voters always see to it that any man the old feutus advocates for election is beaten. The paper pretends to be independent in politics, but it never fails to advocate the election of the entire Democratic ticket, and it is just as often turned down. The politician of the future will hardly dare to court the publicity of his own candidacy for an office in the Times as he will have sufficient precedent to warrant him in thinking, if he does it will mean his certain defeat. Saw it in the Times? Dam lie! Henry Clay was three times a candidate for the presidency of the United States and three times defeated. History it is said repeats itself, and whether intentional or otherwise, it has repeated for William Jennings Bryan the experiences of Henry Clay. Clay was undoubtedly the greatest orator of American history, but he was un- Henry Clay and Bill Bryan Henry Clay and Bill Bryan able to convince the people that he should be elected to the presidency. Clay's oratory and eloquence have a close second in that of Mr. Bryan, who has used it for the past twelve years endeavoring to convince the people of the United States that he should be elected to the presidency, each time more pronounced than the former. Mr. Clay's three defeats gave him a grouch from which he never recovered, and he went to his grave feeling agrieved at his fellow citizens. Is Mr. Bryan to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Clay and develop a constitutional grouch? Or is he to rise and shine and try again four years hence? If we can believe the associated press the morning after the recent election, Mr. Bryan was sadly disappointed at the results of the election and for the first time in his history refused to talk. The cup of disappointment is always a bitter draught, and he is a man indeed, who can drink the contents thereof and yet live on and on. Is Mr. Bryan the man? The Venzuelian government under the leadership of Preident Castro is still in the limelight of public opinion, its latest being a controversy with Holland, which may result in a brief war with that country. Castro is at outs with every civilized government and it President Castro Hunting for Trouble should not be a surprise if some of them took a shot at him and perhaps lay him out before help could be rushed to his assistance. The only reason some of the European governments have not already done this, is they have feared to start a war against any of the Republics in North or South America less they in some way get in trouble with the United States. President Castro has taken advantage of the situation and has become unbearably insolent not only to the European powers, but even to the United States, and he should be taught a lesson in international decency, and Uncle Sam should stand by and see it well done. The affair will hardly reach the actual state of open hostilities, nevertheless it may do so and do so soooner than one would expect. e. We often build better than we ourselves plan, and many things almost carelessly sown take root and grow to such proportions as to become one of the fixtures of the world. This seems brow to turm rem Julia A. Carney Poetess, is Dead Water." So striking were the lines that they were quoted for the amusement of the children throughout the wide world, all of which made its author no less famous than the author of "Mary Had a Little Lamb." Mrs. Carney died at her home in Galesburg, Illinois, last Sunday evening, at the ripe old age of eighty-five years, she having been born in 1823. The child that has not at some time recited "Little Drops of Water" or "Mary Had a Little Lamb" has not lived in Christendom and while perhaps only one in one million knew the writer of the lines, which is another evidence of one building better than they planned, yet they dearly loved the writer. Lets hope that for the happiness that Mrs. Carney has given to the children of the world she will be rewarded with an abiding place in that home not built by hands eternal in the heavens. Most everybody knows Matt Starvitch, the Ravensdale deputy sheriff, who is not afraid of the devil himself and who has landed more desperate criminals behind the bars in the King county jail than any other man that has worn the Nervy Matt Starvitch Loses His Nerve by a sheriff of King county. It was Matt, who dogged the footsteps of those Servians, who murdered the marshall of Kent, through the mountain gorges and over the rocky precipices until he finally overtook them and landed the triumvirate in the county jail. Then came the trial, and in that he showed the stuff he is made of for he stood by the prosecution acting as interpreter until two of them were convicted, one of whom has been sentenced to hang and the other to life imprisonment while the third is still to be tried. Through it all Matt never wavered for a minute, but Saturday, when the men were taken into court for sentence, he weakened and called in another to act as interpreter. "I have hounded those fellows down and have succeeded in convicting them, but it is asking too much of me to announce to them that they must die on the gallows," said he to the prosecuting attorney, "and I therefore refuse." With a stream of gold constantly pouring down from Alaska and the most of it finding its way into Seattle, even if for no other purpose than for general distribution, there is every Nome's Gold Yield reason to believe that Seattle will continue to forge Five Million Dollars ahead both in growth and Nome's Gold Yield Five Million Dollars numbers until even in the life time of many now residents of the city, it will become the great metropolis of the Pacific Coast. During the season which has just closed, the output of the mines in and around Nome was slightly in excess of five million dollars, all of which was either sent or brought to the assay office at Seattle, and a great deal of which was in one way or another spent in Seattle. With the other mining districts in Alaska and points in this and the adjoining states sending twice as much more gold to Seattle than comes from Nome, and with those to whom it belongs spending more or less money in the marts of the city it is plain to be seen why Seattle is prosperous when other cities of like size and number of inhabitants are practically at a stand still. Seattle could not stop growing if it wanted to. "When doctors disagree who can decide?" When lawyers turn thieves who are to prosecute? Comes now the announcement that former Supreme Judge M. Ex-Supreme Judge Misappropriates $50,000 road Company stationed at Spokane, has misappropriated $50,000 of the company's funds, using the same to appease an insaiate passion for stock speculation, and that he not only lost all of such ill-gotten gains, but likewise lost all of his own funds, which was considerable, and that he is now again at the bottom of the ladder, and has undertaken to recuperate and retrieve his lost fortunes by taking up the private practice of law, but in the meantime a criminal charge may at any time be filed against him, so says the report.

Illinois, by-five and that bre, who for years have listened to the tales relating to the shortcomings of erring man, at the first opportunity does the very thing he perhaps had so often remanded others for doing, what can be expected of men who have enjoyed none of the advantages that he has? If men like Judge Gordon are guilty of such short comings, then in Heaven's name, who is free from it? Peter A. Alberti, who has been recently driven from the position of Prime Minister by the discovery of peculations amounting to more than seven million dollaas, grew up in a small Denmark's Colossal village on the island of Zeeland, where his early youth ous chiefly for cruelty to animals. At the University of Copenhagen Alberti attained an unenviable eminence of unpopularity with his fellow students on account of his selfishness and intolerable egotism. His ability, however, was already conspicuous, and at the age of twenty-one he was called to the bar and began practicing in the courts of justice, being admitted to the Supreme Court of the country at the age of twenty-five, a distinction which, according to a correspondent of of the Springfield Republican, is rarely achieved by men under forty. For the next ten years his life was notable for energy, audacity, and the wildest forms of dissipation. His wife brought him a considerable fortune, but in a few years was compelled to divorce him. At the age of thirty-five he became the manager of the Zeeland Peasants' Saving Bank, and a little later established the Zeeland Fire Insurance Company, which was intended to extend the popularity of fire insurance among the peasant classes. Later he founded the Danish Farmers' Syndicate, and his energy and business ability, with his large opportunities, soon made him the most important figure in the industrial and commercial life of Denmark. At the age of forty-one he became a member of the Danish Parliament, attacking himself to the Radical party, and developed a power of oratory on a level with his remarkable gifts in other directions. When the first Liberal Ministry that Denmark had known came into power, Alberti was Minister of Justice, and promptly began to use his financial power and his immense influence in the commercial world to supply himself with funds for great extravagance of living. He was not only supreme director of the savings bank, the insurance company, and the farmers' association, but he took control of several other syndicates, governing them arbitrarily. October Outlook. Then began the falsification of the books of the companies and institutions. Alberti now ranked as one of the richest men of the country, and lived like a member of the royal family in the palace of an extinct noble family. He bought one of the When Thieves Fall Out The Crash Comes leading Danish papers, and his house became a gathering-place for thinkers, financiers, young men and women of ability, who wanted to get on in public or business life. In his case, as in the case of Madame Humbert and Mrs. Chadwick, one fraud led to another, until Alberti was the center of an enormous concentric circle of deceptions and was preying upon the entire community and duping men who had been regarded as having the shrewdest business ability. Probably never in the history of the world has the falsification of books of account been carried on on so large a scale. His last stroke was borowing $500,000 from the government for the Zeeland Savings Bank, which was loaned on the most uncertain security, and every dollar of which he pocketed. A few months ago a Copenhagen newspaper began to attack the political morality and financial soundness of Alberti's position, acting upon the information of one of his women clerks whom he had betrayed. Alberti withdrew from the Cabinet, ostensibly to give himself wholly to the welfare of his enterprises, but really to make a desperate effort to cover his frauds. He retired with official honor; but an avalanche was impending over him, and the first attack was a signal for a tremendous crash; and not long after, the former Minister and millionaire, who had been the foremost man in Denmark, walked into the police station in Copenhagen and lodged an accusation of fraud against himself. The story was so incredible that the police telephoned for a physician, thinking he was insane. He is now awaiting trial. The reaction is naturally intense. A popular idol has suddenly been transformed into a public thief. A man universally trusted by the whole nation, from peasants to the King suddenly stands forth as a violator of every trust. All this happened under a moderate monarchial government, among a people of economical habits!—October Outlook. --- Next week, at the Third Avenue the world." She has had a pre-Theatre, beginning Sunday after-vious flirtation with Mr. Shapenoon, the Third Avenue Theatre leigh. It would not be fair to tell Stock Company will contain sev- any more of the plot, but there eral new faces, Manager French is a lot of music and exciting inci-having made several changes dur- dents. Despite the handicap of ing the past two weeks. He is the "Excited Oats," Doolittle wins now directing the stage himself, the boat race. The staging is and found it advisable to infuse superb. some new material and more life in the company. Beginning with a matinee Sunday afternoon, "When the Bell Tolls," or "The Realms of the Czar," a play dealing with Russian aristocratic and serf life, a condition that existed very extensively in the land of the Russian Czar only a few years ago, and is today a condition in many localities in Russia. The uprising of the slaves and bondsmen against the tyranny of their tormentors is a graphic picture of the Revolution, justified by the conditions of the Czar subjects. The play will be given a sumptuous production and is of a very interesting character. Lincoln J. Carter's latest and best masterpiece, "Too Proud to Beg," will be at the Seattle Theatre for a week, starting with a matinee Sunday. The play was put on for one week during its first season at Mr. Carter's theatre—the Criterion—in Chicago, and everyone who saw the performance spoke in glowing terms of its many interesting features and novel surprises. The plot is said to contain more than the ordinary stage story, consistent to a fault, clean cut, with a wealth of deep heart interest, pathos and a rich quality of keen humor that bubbles and bursts all through the play. Indeed, quite a little of the dialogue is in the hands of the comedy parts and the funmakers keep up a rattling line of humor, satire and keen wit. There are no scenic effects with the attraction but a splendid array of gorgeous scenery, beautiful in coloring and tasteful in design, is carried. Rice & Cady, the comedy favorites of the Pacific Coast, who made a national record by their German dialect comedy in San Francisco, have developed this year into successful stars in "Hip, Hip, Hooray!" which comes to the Grand Sunday afternoon for a week's run. This is Jos. Weber's latest success which ran all last season at Weber's Music Hall on Broadway. Rice & Cady bring the original production, which is gorgeous in the extreme, and a powerful company of 60 people. The book is by Edgar Smith, with music and lyrics by Gus Edwards, and contains many beautiful tunes. The piece is a satire on the foibles of the American college boy, and the admiring American girl. Rice plays the part of a retired capitalist interested with his friend, played by Cady, in a new breakfast food called "Excited Oats." The capitalist's nephew is a student at Doolittle University, a college whose curriculum is devoted chiefly to athletic sports. The breakfast food promoters visit Doolittle to interest the nephew in a proposition to train the crew on "Excited Oats." They fail to get the Doolittle oarsmen interested, so they get the rival eight to adopt the breakfast food. Then the two bet heavily against the University on the strength of the oats. The nephew is in love with a town girl named Ivie Green, played by Mae Phelps, whom Anna Held once pronounced the "prettiest actress in COAL J. W.

Cayton.....Editor and Publisher Susie Revels Cayton.....Associate One Year ..... $3.00 Six Months ..... 1.50 Three Months ..... 75 Entered at the Postoffice at Seattle as Bill Bryan Is Disappointed, And Democracy begins another campaign of education. Solid South vs. Solid North. Republicans win Washington by a 50,000 plurality, for which Alden J. and Times are to be congratulated. Everybody helped but the Hon. John Lockwood Wilson and his P.-I. are to be congratulated, and so here goes. Wesley L. Jones, Yakima Jones, Representative Jones and Senator Jones, dear reader, are all one and the same Jones, but that Jones is in no wise related or even acquainted with one Alden J. Blethen. Who will deny that the Republicans of this state made Hay when the sun shone its brightest. If any one depended on the Blethonian Times for his presidential news prior to the election then such person was a good deal nearer crazy than the other fellow had suspected. Bryan's Black Battalion seems to have been reduced to poor old Don Quixote and Sanco, both of whom got lost in the shuffle. Bryan stood on the burning deck When all but him had fled: When all but him had fled; The flames that lit the battle wreck Shone round him over the dead. There will be nine Democrats in the Eleventh legislature of this state and already they are badly divided as to the selection of a United States senator. John Pattison, alias John Preston, is again at liberty to go off into another sixteen years' silence. For the first time in the history of the Republican party New York City gave a Republican presidential candidate a plurality and we suspect that Bryan has a sneaking idea that Hearst did it. Even Mississippi and Louisiana seem to have succeeded in getting a square count which resulted in them rolling up rousing Democratic majorities. There is nothing like a square deal. There is no more probability of a Prohibition president in the United States in 1912 than there is of a Socialist president, yea not one-hundredth part as much. Everybody worked but Foraker and he stood round all day looking as sleek as a Standard Oil can. The number of offices the Democrats got in the late political scrap in this state are so few that Chairman Wright is able to count them on the fingers of his two hands. Cosgrove gave John Pattison- Preston all that was coming to him despite the fact Seattle's Evening Swillbarrel reported him from day to day in a dying condition. BENCH AND BAR. The following are the Supreme Court Judges elected in this state last Tuesday: H. D. Crow, Milo A. Root and S. J. Chadwick. The Superior Court Judges elected are: O. R. Holcomb, C. F. Miller, M. Irwin, W. A. Grimshaw, L Still, W. W. McCredie, R. S. Steiner, E. W. Taylor, W. R. Gay, B. J. Tallman, R. B. Albertson, A. W. Frater, M. Gilliam, G. E. Morris, J. B. Yakey, R. Kauffman, A. E. Rice, C. H. Neal, J. R. Mitchell, C. M. Easterday, W. O, Chapman, J. A. Shackleford, G. A. Joiner, W. A. Black, H. L. Kennan, J. D. Hinkle, W. A. Huneke, E. H. Sullivan, D. H. Carey, T. H. Brents, E. E. Harden, J. A. Kellogg, H. W. Canfield and E. B. Preble. In electing Judge William Howard Taft as president of the United States, it is the first instance in the history of this country where a man who had been on the bench was subsequently elected to the presidency of the country. As judge of the federal court, which position he could hvae held for life, it is said that Mr. Taft had a few if any superiors and if he succeeds as well in the presidential chair as he did on the bench, he will make one of the best and if not the very best president the country has ever had. The newspaper allegations to the effect that former Supreme Judge M. J. Gordon is an embezzler to the extent of $50,000 is deploled by the most of the attorneys who are personally acquainted with him. On the bench it is said that Judge Gorwas an able and fearless jurist and handed down many able opinions. It is the second time in the history of the state that a retired member of the supreme bench has been charged with grave crimes, the other instance being Judge Elom Scott, who was tried on a charge of rape. Much speculation is being indulged in among the attorneys as to what course George F. Vandervere will pursue as to the attacks made on him by the Seattle Daily Times. Friends of Mr. Vandervere declare that he has sufficient evidence already collected against the editor of the Times to convict him of criminal libel and that an information will be filed against him at once. Others say that Vandervere will take no notice of it officially, but if he ever runs into the editor of the Times he will pound him into a pulp. If he has sufficient amount of evidence to convict, then he should have the man arrested and nail him to the cross. On the other hand it would cost Mr. Vandervere many warm personal friends for him to hammer the old man, who is not only well along toward the end of his career, but who is already in his dotage. To keep in the bounds of the law is certainly the absolute duty of a prosecuting attorney. Bryan may have never had a hankering for office, but somehow or other he has always been mixed up in that kind of business. There may be such a thing in politics as the labor vote, but the returns of the late election do not indicate as much. Guardian Life INSURANCE CO. OF SEATTLE THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN It was in the early part of the summer of the 1906 that, reading in the paper of certain women arrested and confined in the King county jail, I was prompted by something deeper than mere curiosity to investigate the conditions of the jail. Several days of efforts, explanations and "influence" from the attorneys of the women confined were required to obtain permits for entrance, but after my first visit I met with little difficulty—that is, until my efforts for reform were attracting too much attention. The jail could not be described as dirty; it was simply filthy. The windows, barred on the outside and covered with wire netting, caught all kinds of dust and small refuse, sheltered time-honored cobwebs, and their very construction made proper cleaning impossible. For four or five years, at least, the women's ward had neither been painted, calsomined nor thoroughly cleaned, and it was infested with vermin. The women, wishing to protect me, would often place a box in the center of the floor for me as soon as I came, and then sprinkle in a circle around me the insect powder which they always kept on hand. Thus at times when I could sit still I was immune. The women's ward usually contained from twenty to twenty-eight prisoners of every color, condition and nationality—some young, clean and wholesome looking, while others of course, were depraved specimens, some being in various stages of unmentionable diseases. There was only one pan for all to wash in, and the same served to heat the water in; consequently, many women were in constant terror lest they be infected with some of their neighbors' diseases. The bed clothes furnished were unforgivably unclean, and many ordinary necessities, regularly provided in all modern, well-ordered prisons, were given, if given at all, in a haphazzard manner that was reprehensible. Moreover there were no jail rules posted in the cells, as is customary in prisons, and thus the prisnnors themselves did not know what was expected of them and of the rights they, as prisoners had. The women soon looked on me as a friend, for I brought them sheets, old linen, towels and some times needed clothing. I also gave them things to read, needle and thread, darning cotton, silk twist, and the like to help them to put in the long hours. I often carried vegetables and fruit from my own garden, and when one was ill some nourishing food, as the ordinary jail fare was exceedingiy poor, for even a well person. I visited the jail many times each week for several months, and for a time no one apart from the guards and attorneys who aided me, knew of my visits except my husband. As far as I could learn, the county jail physician made no efforts during his term to improve the sanitary conditions of this reeking den, where the parasites inside were only equaled by their prototypes onside the bars, who profited so richly by feeding the prisoners so poorly. At last I went to a prominent attorney here—a friend of the sheriff-I wanted to see if matrons instead of men could not be placed over the women. The attorney seemed to be amazed at my interest in these women. seemed horror struck in fact, and told me of the futility of any effort, but promised that if I would keep quiet he would speak to the sheriff and see what could be done; I kept quiet, and they did nothing. Then another woman and I called on the sheriff, who politely told us that the county commissioners had not appropriated money for that purpose, and that if we would keep quiet he would arrange it with them. Many weeks went by, we waited; we kept quiet, and they sent us no word. We then drew up a petition "in the name of womanhood and common decency," that the commissioners appropriate funds, so that a woman could be on duty over the female prisoners at all hours. The petition was signed by Mrs. I. H. Jennings, Dr. Sarah Kendall, Miss Adella Parker and twenty-two other leading club women of Seattle. This petition was presented to the county commissioners. They said they were willing but that it rested with the sheriff. The sheriff in turn said that he still must confer with the commissioners, and pocketed the petition, which we never saw or heard of again. Then the commissioners asked us to be quiet, and we would then get what we asked for. After several weeks, the sheriff notified us that he could appoint one matron, provided she would reside in a cottage near the county building. We protested at only one matron, and she to live outside the jail! Our patience ceased and we gave the story to the press. Public meetings were held, and newspapers and the public alike voiced the opinion that three matrons, each to serve eight hours, should be appointed by the sheriff. Forty prominent women of Seattle, who had interested themselves in this reform, called on the county commissioners. Reporters and other spectators were present. The commissioners for a time seemed to have forgotten the petition and the whole affair, and at last shouldered the responsibility onto the sheriff. Clerks told us that he was out, but his hat on the desk, prompted us to wait for his arrival. After he came in, one of the commissichers was called down, and finally they made it clear to us that one matron was all they intended to give. When we offered to pay the expenses of the other matrons, knowlng that the woman's clubs could raise the money by subscription, and they refused to accept our offer, we knew that in spite of the common decency of the thing, and in spite Friday. November 6. 1908 of the force of public opinion brought to bear, they had dark reasons of their own for not wanting three matrons in the county jail. One matron, outside the jail, with house rent free as well as salary, to be apparently on duty twenty-four hours a day, to really keep her eyes and mouth closed, was what these men intended to blind and pacify us with! From that date to this the jail gates have been closed to us. Without hesitation we turned to the courts. We felt that there justice would be meted out. But we were simple-minded women and the ways that are dark and tricks that are disguised confounded us. Five leading attorneys were solicited to take the case, and they all replied that could "not afford to antagonize that crowd." At last we found Mr. Thos. D. Page, an able lawyer, who took the case. Through sneers and ridicule, threats and bribes, this man was true blue to our cause to the end. We failed in our appeal to the court. In its decision certain rules were made for the jail, such as that Bibles should be supplied to the prisoners, but when it came to an actual or practical reform, the judges could find no authority for taking action.—Week End.

Wonders of Snoqualmie Falls Washington's Magnificent Waterfalls in the Puget Sound Country Described by W. McCunly 8 A distant rumble broke upon our ears. We quickened our steps on the last lap of our mile or so walk through the dense fir forests. The rumble became a roar, deafening. We caught a glimpse of swirling water, then abruptly we came out on the beetling black cliff and the scene burst upon us in all its grandeur. Before us rushed the river, powerful, implacable. On the other shore were the dark green fir trees, giants in size, seeming to spring from the very rock itself. But all these were details to be only noticed later. It was the great mass of thundering, swirling foam that held us facinated as it broke over those black green rocks and fell with a deafening crash into the canyon 278 feet below. Then edging closer, we peered cautiously down. Far below, across on the other shore, two pygmy-like fishermen cast patiently back and forth. The sun came out and we saw them through a rainbow of spray. But again the thunder of the water daew us back and we clung there spellbound, facinated. Snoqualmie falls are the largest in the Puget Sound country. From Seattle they are easily reached by automobile or train in four hours, through by train, owing to time tables, it is necessary to go on to the town of Snoqualmie and spend the night there. The train skirts partly along the shores of both Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish, passssng through the dense timber of the Sound country and stopping at numerous lumber mills and logging camps. Automobiling offers two different routes; and in this way the trip can be easily made in one day. The town of Snoqualmie is is about a mile and a half beyond the falls. It is a rude little place enconsed in the foothills of the Cascade mountains. Above it are what are seputed to be the largest hop fields in the world. On all sides are lumber mills and logging camps. The Snoqualmie river passes it and on the opposite bank is a long lane of cottonwoods that I often bring up reminiscently as I saw them in the gloaming of a summer evening, the stately cottonwoods almost shutting out the sky and enclosing all the lane in a dim, green silence, while underneath was the dense smaller growth, and the lane itself seemed to beckon into a realm that belongs to fiction. One power company is in operation at the falls. Outside of a low dam built some distance back from the falls and an obstrusive power house, they have done little to alter the natural appearance of the place. Their working apparatus is underground. They hvae sunk a shaft back of the falls for 270 feet and run an elevator up and down here. A Truly Wonderful Sight Upon leaving the elevator one is confronted with a sight that is truly wonderful. A tunnel runs before and opens on the base of the gigantic plunge. All is a mass of seething, boiling foam, and yet there is the impression of a vast wall of water between. THE WATERFALL Going on down the tunnel, one comes out on the rocks behind mighiest falls of the Northwest, and it is an experience that must be undergone to be understood. Behind are the slippery black rocks; before, the mighty thunder of a cataract whose power moves factories and lights of distant cities. And through the vast wall of water comes the glimmer of a far-off daylight and the splash of spray beyond. It needs not the thunderous roar of waters to hush the spectator; the sight alone is sufficient. One glimpse of that grandeur is enough to make a man think back in awesome reverence. It is always thus when looking up great cataracts, for in no way does the great power and force THE CALIFORNIA WATER CITY. of Nature manifest itself more clearly to the vision. There is something in the rush and swirl of waters, seething with foam, so suggestive of unbridled power, that must ever strike awe in the heart of the spectator. That man is able to chain that power, to make the geni of the tumbling waters a slave that blindly works for him, must ever bring home the wonders that the mind of man has accomplished. Harnessing the Falls Take Niagra Falls, for instance, where there is more electricity generated in the great power house than under any other single roof in the world. An amount of electric current is transmitted which, it has been calculated, is more than equal to the power that could be generated by an army of 600,000 men working at turning cranks night and day. This chaining the power of Nagara is one of the greatest mechanical feats, a feat that is being repeated on a smaller scale at Snoqualmie and other lesser falls. But in gazing upon these won- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ful cataracts the power of man is invisible, while the power of Nature is made manifest by the thunder and swirl of the falling waters. One is apt to recall Mrs. Sigourney's lines on Niagara: "Thou dost make the soul A wonderful witness of thy majesty. And as it presses with delirious joy To piece thy vestibule, does chain its step, And tame its rapture with a humbling view Of its own nothingness, bidding it stand In the dread presence of the invisible, As if to answer to its God through thee." —Woodruff McCunly in Travel Magazine.

WOMEN AS SWIMMERS As some justification for evolution of the children' mythical belief in the mermaid, accounts of some of the swimming tests in the East seem to sustain the accredited opinion that women may possess, in some degree an amphibious nature. Teachers of the art of swimming have discovered that there is something in the form or adaptability of the female body that makes them natural swimmers. Almost any woman can float, or man either, but it is more difficult. It may be that the bones of the fair sex being smaller are lighter, and we reject as decidedly untenable the cynical observation that man's brain being several ounces heavier may account for the difference. Whatever the cause, it has has been found beyond question, that woman, can easily float by keeping her hands and feet under water, and lying motionless on the back, while many men become expert swimmers without being able to "float," as the boys call it. In proof of this, it is related that Miss Stockley, daughter of the Philadelphia lawyer, who could not swim a a stroke, got beyond her depth at Cape May, suddenly discovering that she could not "touch bottom," and was being carried out to sea. Her horrified father called her to make an attempt to float, which she did, and after an hour had been spent in obtaining a boat and going to rescue, was found drifting a mile at sea. Miss Kellerman, the most noted woman professional swimmer in the world, in 1905, won the world's champion in a long-distance match of 26 miles, on the Danube, in three hours and eleven minutes. The best previous record had been 20 miles on the Thames, with the current, in six hours and twenty-five minutes. In 1907, Kellerman visited America, but her six months' stay was a social jaunt rather than a series of exhibitions, for she had many relatives and friends here who desired to entertain her. This time she has come over after records, and her first startling feat was performed at Boston on July 31, when she swam from Charlestown bridge to Boston light, a distance of twelve miles, in six and a half hours. The course is a tortuous one with many cross currents, thanks to its numerous is lands. and it is the terror of all professional swimmers. Miss Kellerman now has a rival in England, whom many think may yet reap the championship. Her name is Maud Smith. She is only 18 yeears old, but in various tests has shown herself a powerful swimmer. In a recent contest she competed on equal terms with men, and finished tenth in a fifteen-mile swim, beating out no less than twenty male competitors. She did the fifteen miles in a boisterous sea in the excellent time of four hours, twenty-five minutes and fifteen seconds. Last year Miss Smith swam with Jabez Wolffe in the heavy sea while the latter was making one of his attempts to swim from England to France. She stayed beside the great swimmer four and a half hours during a time that taxed the strength of even her male companion. Last spring and sum- Friday, November 6, 1908 mer she practiced constantly at Brighton and her swim through London showed that her endurance is almost unlimited. In the recent long distance swim of the United States Volunteer Life Saving corps from the Brooklyn bridge to Coney land, thirty-two men and two girls started in the twelve mile swim in the face of a strong wind and blazing sun. The girls did not finish, both giving out less than one mile from the end of the course, but only six of the men were able to go the course, which shows that mermaids Clara Hurst and Augusta Gallup have a chance with the strong swimmers of the other sex.—Exchange. The United States Forest Service will reforest about 3,000 acres of cut-over long leaf pine lands in South Florida, about twenty-five miles south of Ocala. After a careful study of the soil and forest-growing conditions here, the service has decided that the most practical method of doing this will be the planting of pine seed on the areas to be covered with trees, for starting the trees in a nursery and transplanting the seedlings in the field is not considered feasible because of the long tap root rendering transplanting difficult. The experimental planting of the mesquite and several species of eucalyptus on those lands has been suggested also in this reforsestation work. These will be the most extensive operations yet undertaken in the South. Scientific Pacific. An Automobile for Horses The automobile has surely been placed to no more ironical purpose than that which we herewith illustrate. A French manufacturer has devised a conveyance which is actually intended for the transportation of the very animals which the automobile is intended to supplant. Seriously considered the vehicle has certainly much to commend it. As the reader no doubts suspects, it is primarily designed for the conveyance of valuable racing horses, that cannot be intrusted to a railway without some anxiety. An accident might mean a heavy financial loss to the owner of a horse. In an automobile a thoroughbred can be transported with considerable safety, and besides with far more convenience and comfort. The interior of the vehicle is fitted up as a stable with all the requisites to which the pampered horse is accustomed. -Scientific American.
