Drawing Cars Up Hin.

The track of the Rainier Avenue Elec-
trio railway has been completed down
Washington street as far as Third, and
cars are now regularly running to
Eighth. The compensation weights for
taking the cars up the steep incline be-
tween Fifth and Eighth streets are in
place. Upon trial the continuance has
worked successfully, and cars will be
running up and down in few days.
The arrangement Is q very ingenious
one. The regular track is standard
gauge; inside of it and two or three feet
below the street level is a second track
of two feet gauge. On this runs a truck
loaded with lead so as to weigh between
five and six tons. This lower track Is
covered over and nothing of 1t is seen
from the street. When the truck is at
the bottom of the hill cable to which
it is attached runs on pulleys to the top,
and there turns over big concealed
wheel out to the side Of the track.
A car coming down the hill takes the
end of the cable, and the weight Of the
descending car, together with the cleo
trio power, draws the heavy truck nm
derneath up the 1911 per cent. grade to
the top of the hill. When the car re.
turns the truck is at the top Of the hill.
AS soon as the car is attached to the end
of the cable. then at the bottom, the
truck is released, and Its weight as II
runs down draws the car up. The cable
pulled out at the top of the hill as the
car comes down runs in a narrow slot
Just inside of the track on the north side
of the street.-Seattle Post Intelligencer.

HS-aiian Heroism,

On July IL @uring a terrific gale at
Kawathae, tR1ee canoes, containing thir-
teen men an6 boy, were blown out 20
sea. Learning of the calamity, sloop
owner of thak place put his fine craft at
the disposal Of any one who would go to
the rescue. and native sailor raised q
volunteer crew Of five and started. One
of this number. a boy, was dashed by
ropes half way up the mainmast to keep
a lookout, which he did for hours in tho
face of the gale. 1t was near sunset
when the lost men were found out at
sea clinging desperately to their frail
crafts. and were rescued and brought
back. Great credit is due the native
sailors, and particularly to the boy on
the lookout, whose position in the cold
and wet was difficult and painful one
to maintain for so long a time. It was
he who sighted the canoes, of which two
were found. the other having drifted in.
shore early in the day with it's exhausted
owner, who gave the alarm.-San Fran

Occasionally very nervous man will
make a public exhibition of himself.
Such an instance occurred in Nassau
street restaurant Friday noon. A gen.
tlemanly appearing man was observed
by one or two patrons of the place to
leave his table abruptly, hasten to the
cashiers desk, pay his bill and to almost
run out of the restaurant. Beyond in
dulging in the reflection that it was
pretty warm weather to travel under
such full head of steam, the observers
paid no attention to the mans behavior
at the time. After a lapse Of eight or ten
minutes, however, the same man came
back into the restaurant breathless and
perspiring.
Hurriedly scanning the occupants of
the room, his eye rested upon we'll
dressed boy about ten years old who was
giving his undivided attention to huge
section of watermelon. The nervous
man pounced upon the boy and ex-
claimed half apologetically: "Why,
Tom, | forgot all about You and came
very near going up town without you.
Were you frightened9'
mot bit, uncle!" responded the lad
cheerfully. II felt sure you would come
back, SO l ordered another piece Of
watermelon, which you can pay for"
The nervous man fidgeted about until
the boy finished his melon, and then he
would have gone away without paying
for it had not the boy reminded him in a
high soprano voice that he owed the res.

LABOR TAKES A REST.

The Holiday Generally Observed in the
Principal Cities of the Country.
New YORK, Sept. Tabor Day was
generally observed in this city. The
morning dawned with cloudy and
threatening skies, but about II o'clock
the weather cleared and the sun came
out brilliantly. The worlkingmen cele-
brated the occasion by two parades.
They were made respectively by tho
Central Laber union and the Central
Labor federation. The Central Labor
unions parade formed promptly at 9
o'clock in Washington square, but 1t
was 10 o'clock before it got under way.
At that hour, led by Grand Marshal
Michael j. Fenton and his aides, all
mounted and proceeded by a vigorous
brass band, the procession was led
around to the right of Washington
square, to Fourth street, to Macdougal
street, to Waverly Place, to Sixth
avenue, to Greenwich street, to Seventh
street, to Fourth avenue, to Seventeenth
street, to Fifth avenue, and to Fortieth
street, where 1t dispersed.
A feature of the second division was
the Lady Gotham association, composed
Of 800 women laundry workers.
The Central Labor Federation's parade
was formed in Fourth street, west of the
Bowery. It was led by Grand Marshal
August Waldinger. Appropriate mot
toes were carried in both parades. The
afternoon and evening were devoted to
pleasure.

Perils of the Street.

Many are the dangers of the street. A
young man stepped into the Union
League club one night last week bleed
ing profusely at the ear. He had searched
in vain for six different doctors, and
finally went to the club, hoping possibly
to find one there. His hurt was received
on Fifth avenue near Forty-fifth street.
Just as stage passed he and his COM
panion heard sharp explosion and saw
smoke come from under the wheels.
Then the young man felt a sting on the
ear. and putting up his hand found that
he was bleeding. His blood had soaked
two handkerchiefs before the flow was
checked. A cartridge or large percus.
sion cap had probably been dropped In
the street and piece of the metal had
struck the young man when the wheel
exploded the charge.-New York Cor.

Salmon In the Merrimack.

Fish Commissioner E. B. Hodge, of
Plymouth, says there are now more
salmon in the Merrimack river than at
any time since the Lawrence dam was
built. forty years ago, and he thinks
even further back than that. In one
day he caught twenty-five fine ones at
Plymouth. They are, however, being
mercilessly slaughtered by the dozen at
Garvin's Falls, at the mouths of the
Suncook and Soucook rivers, and at
other points.
Speaking of the agreement existing
between this state and Massachusetts,
Colonel Hodge said it was generally
thought that its provisions cost New
Hampshire considerable money, while
the fact is that the matter has been so
arranged that the general government
has footed the bills and 1t has not cost
this state cent Moreover, 1t was this
agreement with Massachusetts which
alone made possible the establishment

great soldier was in a way mixed up.
These diaries give vivid illustration of
Moltke's character, and were originally in
tended for the perusal of his family only.
But it has been decided to publish them,
and they are to appear first as serials in

The Swiss Celebration and william Te

The Swiss Celebration and William Tell
Switzerland has been lately celebrat-
ing in the canton of Schwytz the sixth
centenary of its independence as a ma
ton, and on the 10th of August the city
Of Berne celebrated the seven hundredth
anniversary of the foundation of the
town. This is an antiquity which reaches
beyond the legendary epoch, for Berne
was founded in 1191, and the famous
hunter of Uri is said to have fourished
in 1907. and to have been a member of
the League of the Three Cantons-Ur,
Schwytz and Unterwalden-which final
Iy drove the Austrians from the Alps.
But the Tell legend. like so many of
the old and new historic tales, is now
generally abandoned. It was observed
that the old Swiss chroniclers did not
mention the story, and its first full state
ment did not occur until the middle of
the Sixteenth century. This covered it
with a certain suspicion, which has
gradually developed with the demonstra-
ton that the Tell tale" is one of the
legends common to the Aryan people,
and is found in its chief elements In the
Persian. lcelandic, Danish and English
poetry. tradition. saga and ballad.
1t is none the less an inspiring and
symbolic tale of heroism, and the same
tendency of history to legend is curl
ously illustrated in this country by the
story of the mysterious white haired
warrior who suddenly appeared in Had
ley during an Indian attack upon the
village in King Phillips war and led
the villagers to victory. Mr.. George
Sheldon, of Deerfeld. Mass, in a paper
published few years since, traced the
story to foot note in Hutchinson's his
tory referring to legend In Governor
Leverett's family. But, examining dates,
he discredits the story. Yet the figure
Of the regicide cannot be dislodged from
the popular imagination, nor Hadley d.
vested of the charm of the tradition.
