alphabet), and not with an 4 "aleph," the
first letter of tho alphabet), as in the ten COM
mandments?" This question, in itself not
very brilliant is answered all the moro ingen-
iously. The letter ! is closed on all sides but
one, symbolzing that man should not let his
thought ascend beyond the heavens nor sink
into the depths of hell, nor be lost in specula-
ton as to what has taken place in prehistoric
times or what will be in the world to come.
The Thorah begins neither with speculations
nor with fantastic conceptions concerning the
substance and essence of Deity, but with reali-
ties, with heaven and earth.
Yet the Bible narrative has not met with
universal approval. We must not forget that
its wisdom lies not altogether in what it re-
lates, but as much, if not more, in what 1t
leaves untouched. Strictly speaking is has no
theology, no metaphysics, no mysticism, no
heaven, hell, angels or supernatural beings of
opposite character, nothing at all Of another
world.
According to its contents the Bible is di-
vided into natural history, law and ethics.
" In the beginning God created heaven and
earth ?" This verse brings the Bible in har-
mony with the most advanced science. As to
phen this beginning was no explanation is
given Mayhap millions Of years ago, mayhap
unthinkable ages of time ago. Likewise the
problem Of the earth's formation, whether by
means of fire, water, OF both, the Bible leaves
science free to investigate and solve. It is
silent.
The ancients questioned Why was it writ
ten PINT m, D'Dv7 m
Thia word M is supeInuous Grammatl-
cally it would have been just as correct to have
written the sentence without it. This word
signifies that heaven and what the idea OF
heaven contains, and the earth and all that
pertains thereto, were the creation of the first
day. Later upon earth the pertinent parts
sprang into existence, each in its proper time.
The creation of the universe could have been
completed in the first verse without any further
reference thereto. The rest of the narrative
is engaged exclusively with the earth which
we inhabit, not with its creation but with its
development, it's evolution. It is not cos
mogony, rather geogony On the first day,
or first stage Of development, light broke
pathway through the enshrouding nimbus OF
the earth body, land there was light" Yet
there was nothing seen of body from which
the light radiated.
In the second stage the watery element
divided itself into the liquid fluid, the water
proper, and into evaporated vapor, which fills
the atmosphere.

SEATTLE. rUEsDAY. FER. IS


The latest report from Olympia demon
strates beyond doubt that John B. Allen
will be the next senator from the state OF
Washington either by election or
by appointment. The supporters OF
Senator Allen have taken the con-
sistent and manly course, and have
decided to stand by him to the end OF the
session If necessary. It is not believed,
however. that this will be necessary. When
1t is apparent that the majority proposes
to stand firm. it is probable that enough
members Of the minority will come to his
support to elect him.
Devotion to correct principle and 10y
atty to . man who is deserving of it are
at all times commendable. The King
county delegation has shown good judg-
ment in assuming the position that the
majority should control. Not one OF them
will ever regret il.

no CLOSE SALMON SEASON ON
PUGET SOUND.

SEATTLE, Feb q, 1898.
To THE EDITOR: Has the law making 1t un.
lawful to catch salmon In the waters of Puget

May been repealed, and II It has been. u the
new Law now in effectf The fishermen of Puget
sound want to know II they can keep right on
fishing after March without breaking the
senseless law which has heretofore done them
such injustice. A. SoDICH.
There 10 no longer any law against catching
salmon In the waters OF Puget sound at any
time Of the year. The old law was repealed
through the efforts Of members Of the King
county delegation, which pledged itself to the
fishermen to relieve them OF the burden OF the
unjust law which was r0bbing them Of their
means Of livelihood during three months of the
year, without rhyme or reason. Gov. McGraw
signed the bill at once, and - It had an emer.
gency clause it II already in effect Fishermen
can ply their vocation after March without
fear Of breaking any Law.

in submitting to the people . proposition
to purchase the water plant from the Ia
coma Light and. Water Company for
81, 750, 600 seems to be meeting with severe
criticism at the hands of some of the

and that if the city makes the purchase 1t
will not also secure bargain.

piece was executed in a man ner espe
cially praiseworthy, the queer little
quadruped would raise his anything
but melodious voice in a vigorous and
jerky bray of approval. According to
his master the little animal would leave
his feed at any time to listen to the
music of the violin.
When the mule died, which he did in
a full and rounded mulehood, his affec-
tionate master conceived the idea of
perpetuating the memory OF his mu-
steal pet by turning his bones into the
instrument of whose music the animal
was SO fond. The task was an exceed
ingly difficult one and, notwithstand-
ing Old Seth's skill as a boneworker,
it took him a long time to complete it,
but when it was done he felt amply re-
paid for his labor, for the instrument
proved to be much superior to the one
he used to play for the mules benefit.
This remarkable violin the old hunter
played upon until the day of his death,
which occurred about five years age in
his mountain home where he had lived
SO long among his warm friends, the
humboldt Indians, who, in all his
career among them, regarded Seth
kinman as a great and wonderful pale
face whose power was second only to
that of the Great Father al Wash
ington.
Old Seth was not only a genius him
self, but he came from a family of
geniuses. One of his brothers, Jesse
by name, conceived the idea of the
corn planter and constructed the first
machine of the kind ever used for his
w use. The invention was copied
before he had perfected and secured a
patent on it; and from that crude ma
chine has been evolved the great sue
cess in farm implements known as the
check-rower. Another brother, John.
invented the first device for packing
-four in barrels that was known in this
country.
The rest of the family were more
studious and steady in their habits
than was Seth. He possessed the true
bohemian spirit, and took greater
pleasures in a nomadic life than in the
straight-laced manners and customs of
civilization. At an early age he began
to roam, leaving Williamsport, Pa, his
home and birthplace, in 1880 at the
age Of fifteen and taking his way
westward until he came to Tazewell
county, ILL.,, where he remained until
1s49, when he broke loose again and
braved the unknown dangers of the
great plains of the far west, arriving
finally, after many blood-curdling adj
ventures, upon the Pacific coast, set
