The last 100 years have increased the
need and capacity for work upon small
objects near at hand. One of the questions
occurring to the mind is, Do these different
and increased demands bring increased
facility and capacity to the human eyer
Eyes are now used in ways never imagined
by our remote ancestors, possibly never

ever there may have been in the way of

typesetting, no electric telegraphy, no
stenography and no typewriter. The eye

The examination of the mummies in the
Egyptian mausoleums shows that there
has been no change in the anatomical con-
formation of the human ear in 1000 years,

difficulty Of preserving the eye for exam

coin park in various capacities for twen-
ty-two years. He has done most of the
planning for the geological garden and
Conservatives, and the beautiful palm
house, stocked with wonderful variety
of rare plants, is his latest work.
The building for the academy is
planned to admit of indefinite enlarge
ment in the future. 1t will be three
stories in height, with Spanish tile roof.
The first story is of brownstone, with
pressed brick and terra Gotta alcove,
massive and rich cOrnice browning the
whole. An elaborate entrance arch
leads to the main stair hall, IS feet
wide and So feet long, with marble
wainscoting and floor and ornamental
stairs on each side leading to the sec
ond story. This hall is spacious and
well lighted, and with the objects that
may be placed on view there will be
formed dignifed vestibule to the rest
of the building. To the right on the
first floor is an auditorium 45 by So feet
in size, and to the left are the well ar
ranged offices of the park commission
ers, and also the offices and laboratory Of
the academy.
In the second story will be the great
museums single room, 1877 by 81 feet,
with gallery 12 feet wide, the whole
lighted by an immense skylight. The
basement, also well lighted, will be for
work and storage rooms, and the entire
structure will cost $4,000 Mr.. Mat

in Chicago in 1887, and is still living

which to establish home, and for a
favorable location in which to invest
their capital. 1t is safe to say that of
the total number Of visitors to the
cities of Puget Sound a satisfactory per-
centage will find more to interest and
attract them in Fairhaven than at any
other portion of the Sound. There can
be no doubt that the amount of travel
to the cities of the Sound will be larger
during this coming season than ever
before, and as few travellers ever view
the beauties of Bellingham Bay and be-
come acquainted with its matchless re-
sources without desiring to locate here,
it may be confidently expected that
the present year will mark an epoch in
the increase of population for the Bay
cities,

wonderful Things in Heredity.

1t is fact well established by students of
heredity that children are apt to inherit
not only the physical, mental and moral
traits Of their parents, but to Ne influenced
by their age as well Children born of very
young fathers and mothers never attain so
vigorous a growth of mind or body as
those Of older men and women, while chill

One of the most surprising cases in medi-
cal historyis that of Marguerite Cribsowna,
who died in l763, aged 10S years. When
ninety-four she was married to man aged

but they had gray hair no teeth, were
stopped, yellow and wrinkled, decrepit in
movement and could eat only bread and

The statement in the local columns
Of today's issue that 5000 car loads Of
freight await shipment over the Great
Northern road at Portland and Puget
Sound cities, gives some little evidence
of the vast amount of trade to be
opened up by this great transconti-
mental line as soon as ii is ready for
hauling. An increased amount of de-
velopment work in agriculture, lumber
and mining will also be under way as
soon as the facility for placing these
products on the eastern market is con-
summated. Mr.. Hills statement that
his road will require 200 car loads of
coal per day to supply its various de-
mands, is indicative of at least hun
dred per cent increase in the coal out
put of the state, of which the Fair
haven mine, from its favorable loca-
tion on the line of the road, must of
necessity enjoy large share. In the
very nature of things, the day can
not be far in the future before the BEN
eficlal results of the completion of the
Great Northern will be felt all along
its route, and as no section of the coun-
try traversed by it is more favorably
located than Fairhaven, or more richly
endowed with the substantial gifts Of
nature-its tributary country abound
ing in mineral, lumber, and agricul-
tural resources unlimited in quantity
and unexcelled in quality-it goes
without the need of argument that no
other section will reap larger returns
from the developing power of this
great factor in commerce than Fair
haven and its adjacent country. When
it is remembered what rapid strides
toward commercial supremacy the
Bellingham Bay cities have taken with
the facilities at their control, it can be
easily seen what growth and prosper
ity await them with the improved fa-
cilities placed at their disposal with
the opening of the main line of the
Great Northern for freight traffic.

The argument in favor of Senator

he is supported by fifty Republicans
out of a total of seventy-six is not, of it.
self, conclusive. Majorities are not al
ways in the right; and, conversely, mi
norities are not always in the wrong.
If the King county delegation holds to
the belief that simply because they
have secured large majority-though
not yet sufficient-in favor of Senator
Allen he ought therefore to be elected,
how can their leaders explain the ac-
ton of the King county delegation at
the Republican state convention when,
despite the fact that every member,
except one, of the committee of resolu-
tons voted against the Seattle canal
scheme, King county fought for it-on
minority report of one-until it was
endorsed by the convention? The fact
is, the question is not one of maiorities
and minOrities, but whether King
county shall or shall not continue to
dominate the state of Washington.
The question no longer turns on the
mere merits of John B. Allen as a can
didate for the United States senate. If
that were all, the argument would be
reduced to minimum, for ordinarily,
all other things being equal, the gen.
eral custom is to return senator who
has filled an unexpired term. But
this is not the point at is
sue in this contest, and the loyal
minority at Olympia know it. Seattle
politicians in their loyalty to Seattle,
for which they are to be commended,
have some plan in hand the full import
of which has not appeared, but which
1t Is safe to assert means the betrayal or
not of Allen as the need may arise.
The alternate fervor and cooling of the
Post-Intelligencer in Senator Aliens
behalf is at least suspicious. It's abso-
lutte assertion one day that he will be
elected on the next ballot and the fol-
lowing day inserting a saving clause
introduced by an 'ff' can be accounted
for on no other ground than either
willingness to forsake Allen at the
proper moment or hidden motive
which is yet beneath the surface. This
is the thing which the voters in the
minority are fighting against. They
are demanding recognition for other
parts Of Washington as well as for King
county and are standing against the
presidents of the past which invariably
show the domination of King county
and the dictatorship of the Post-Intel-
ligencer.

A Bad Collision Between Team and
Electric Car Yesterday.
An unfortunate and distressing acct
dent occurred on the South Side yester.
day at noon. A Bellaire man named
Kellar was at that hour driving buggy
attached to which were two mules, up
the alley below Thirty-sixth street,
from Eotf to Jacob street, Just as he
was entering the latter street, and too
late for the team to stop, IN electric
motor, south bound, was seen to be
coming at rapid speed. Kellar en-
deayored to turn his team sharp so that
a collision would be avoided, but it was
impossible, aud the left mule was
caughtin front OF tho car and thrown to
tho ground. Tho other mule and the
buggy were dragged along few feet
with the Cur, but neither KelIar nor the
animal were hurt The car was re-
versed as soon us tho wreckage could
be cleared, when It was found that the
mules legs were broken, rendering the
animal entirely helpless. 1t should
have been instantly shot so as to end Its
misery, but at o'clock last evening,
the suffering brute was still lying near
the Gu tier.

When the recent street car strike
came to an end there were about forty
or fifty nou.union men in tho employ
Of the street cor company. Since then
from various causes and without causes
in some instances, nearly two-thirds OF
the "scabs," as they were called, have
left the employ Of the road, most OF
them it is learned on reliable authority
resigning their places, though others
were asked to leave. Tho consequence
Is that very few OF tho men whoworked
on the road during the strike arc still
on. The provision that was in effect
just after the strike, that the union and
non'union men were to be kept apart
as much as possible, has about become
a dead letter, and no wonder as it was
entirely an impracticable thing to at
tempt Tho two classes Of employees
have now about merged into ono.
