HEAD OR FEET F1Rsrq
How Travelling Men Sleep on
Cars,

Pittsburg Dispatch.
The majority of travelling men sleep
head foremost on we'll baIiasted ROAD
and feet foremost on road where the
cars sometimes run on the track and
sometimes on the ties. 1t is much
plea sarter to sleep head first,aS it were.
beca use it prevents that swell-head
feeling which results from too much
blood being forced in the direction of
the brain. But in case of an accident
it is very much pleaSanter to sleep the
other way. Nature did not provide the
human neck WITH as many joints as that
OF giraffe Or ostrich, and when train
suddenly comes to StandStiil and the
whole force of the collision comes OH the
top of the skull the feeling is unpieas-
ant. On the other hand. the knees have
a kindly tendency to give" on the oc-
casionof the collision, and hence if a
man is sleeping feet first he is less liable
to accident if the train stops suddenly.

PUGET SOUND RACING.
A Lively Whale Beaten By a Swift
Steamboat.

What was probably the most unique
race on record occurred on the waters
of Puget sound. between Tacoma aud
Seattle. OH Friday afternoon--namely.
race between whale and steam
boat, says the Tacoma Ledger. Shortly
after the Flyer passed Browns point on
her afternoon trip to Seattle, large
shovein0ss whale was noticed on her
port bow, and as it was i'll about
the same position when the Flyer
came up on her previous trip it excited
the curiosity of the captain. who de
cided to stand off his course to get a
near view of the monster of the deep.
Judge of his establishment when. instead
OF Overhauling The whale, the whale
drew away from the boat. BY this time
it had got noised about among the pas
sengers that it was the intention of the
officers of the boat to overtake the
whale if it was possible for wood, steel
and steam to do SO.
Word was sent to the engine room,
and in few moments it was plainly
noticeable that the crack boat of the
Pacific had got an extra move OH her
self, and in about five minutes it was
clear she was gaining on the whale.
About one mile south of Robinson'S
Point the whale put on an extra squirt
| of speed, aud for minute or so gained

Some specimens of karri wood taken

was perfectly sound. A specimen of
jarrah wood under similar eireum-
stances showed serious decay.
Tim0er of the tamariSk or shittim

Although living outside of city limits. several

and that our cry should be heard. Now that
there is considerable agitations concerning pub

it was intimated that Smith was drunk

A MYSTERIOUS SHOT AT NIGHT.


1t Whixxes Frbm tho Darkness Between
Tive BrOthers' Heads.
A bullet was fired through a window of
Styles r. Nettleton's residence at 1908 Yes
Ter avenue Saturday night about $50
o'clock, passing between the heads of Mr..
Nettleton's two sons. Whether it was
fired accidentally or intentionally is q
matter of conjecture.
H. S. Nettleton and Styles r. Nettleton,
jr., stood talking near the window in the
front room on the second story. Suddenly
there was q shot, and bullet passed
through the upper part of the window and
between their heads, embedding itself in
the wall opposite. three inches from the
ceiling. Their efforts to find the party
who fired the shot and whence it came
were of no avail, as the persons in
the house on the opposite side of the street
protested ignorance Of the matter.
The case was reported to Capt. Sims last
night. and Detective Gil Philbrick went
out and investigated. He reported that
he was satisfied that the bullet was from a
point opposite the house and not from the
ground. Any angle taken from the
ground with the broken glass for an OBJ
ject, would have hit the ceiling. Mr..
Nettleton is at a loss to explain why the
shot was fired, if intentional. and as the
matter now stands it looks as if it was
accidental and the guilty party dare not
confess.

WHY THE STATISTICS ARE SHORT.
Worlds Fair Com missi0ner Rochester
0ays County Omcera Are to Blame.

Worlds Fair Commissioner Rochester
Says County Omcors Are to Blame.
In explanation of the delay in collecting
statistics of the business and manufactures
OF King county for inclusion in the history
OF Washington to be published by the
Washington Worlds fair commission,
Percy W. Rochester, one of the commls-
sioners, said las, evening:
All convention OF the county assessors in the
spring OF 1892 the Washington Worlds fair com.
mission secured . promise from the assessors to
obtain for the history which we expect to pub
iish quite an amount of statistical information,
in addition to their regular work. This was
conditioned upon our securing the permission
of the boards Of county commissioners of the
different counties. In this county We secured
such permission, furnished Mr.. Frank Paul, the
assessor, all necessary blanks and in the fall
ceived from him his report.
When these statistics were tabulsted the work
was found to be very carelessly and impsrfectiy
done. In the matter OF manufactures 1t was
shown that large number of such industries az
the Denny Clay Company, Claussen Sweeney
and Bay View brewing companies. the Washing
ton Iron Works, Moran Bros Company. Western
Mill Company, Queen City Cracker Company
aud the Pacific Freezing ana Packing Company
were entirely omitted. In fact, not one fifth Of
the industries were put down.
Early In January l personally called Nj.
Paul's attention to this. and with him visited
Mr.. Fred Gasch, who represented the board of
county commissioners. Mr.. Gasch upon learn
ing the condition of affairs gave Mr.. Paul 80
we're reprimand, stated his chagrin and sur
prise and thereupon assured me that the com.
missionera would take the matter up and rec.
tify the errors. We were afterwards notified
that Mr.. Twichell had been instrucred to get
the entire data and furnish same to ua 1t was
not until about weeks ago that, upon calling
for Mr.. Twichell's report, we learned that We
were to be again disappointed, and received
word that the work was not yet done. but had
been referred to the Chamber OF Commerce
We are sorry that these instances Of neglect on
the part of public officials must of necessity be
made public. but lest the press of the state may
think that an effort 10 being made to "pad" our
returns, when in fact We are only attempting TO
correct the inexcusable neglect of public officers,
We have felt that this explanation was needed.
