The Game Law.

The state game and fish commission
was in session at the capitol and attend
ed to routine business only, and that
necessary to begin the carrying out OF
the new law. No action was taken re-
garding the error in the law which has
reversed the open and close season for
aquatic fowls. As the law stands, it
permits ducks, geese, brant, snipe and
other aquatic fowl to be taken between
April "a and Sept. l, whereas the in
tention the law, as framed, was to
prohibits between those dates.
This feature of the law was one of
the principal ones on WHICH the passage
of the bill was urged, and had the
blunder been SO much as suspected, the
bill could not have been hauled through
by team of oxen.
The bill, as introduced by the COM
mission, was all right, but owing to the
omission of the word except in en-
crossing, the open and closed seasons
are reserved. Gov. Nelson and Game
Commissioner Andrus were aware of
the error before the bill vass signed. but
the other provisions of the bill were of
so much importance that it was deemed
advisable to have it become a law, even
with the error mentioned
Commissioner Andrus states that the
portion forbidding shooting in the
proper season need not be enforced,
while the desirable changes are Sc
cured. If advantage is taken of the
technical error, the game commission
is not without means of redress

pussy's chief value consisted in her capa-
bilities as a mouser, and 50 long as she
accomplished her work satisfactorily
that was all that was required Of her.
Nobody troubled as to the shortness OF
her face, the size of her ears, or the
length Of her tail. Every one was per-
fectly satisfied with her sober gray coat
and four white feet. Her green eyes,
too, we all took quite as matter of
course. But now very different state
of affairs exists. In many instances her
propensity for housing only composes
one of her numberless characteristics, If
indeed the most aristocratic specimens

The markings which are now produced
in our cats are certainly wonderful. We
have striped Tables and spotted tab
bies, the stripes and spots so clearly and
regularly defined in the best cats that it
seems difficult to believe that it is all ma

Many interesting stories have been
told about that favorite son of the south,
Henry w. Grady. One that was heard
q few evenings ago at an assemblage
largely made up of Presbyterian clergy
men shows that his colored coachman,
who has not appeared prominently be
fore the American public, was well
worthy to be in the service of such
master. The Rev. DR.. Henry M. Field
was the relator Of the incident. DR..
Field was visiting Atlanta and of course
met Mr.. Grady. Mr.. Grady placed his
carriage at DIR. Fields disposal, and after
driving about the city, on being left at
Mr.. Grady's Office, DR.. Field rewarded
the coachman with big silver dollar.
Later in the day Mr.. Grady remarked
to DR.. Field that his coachman had told
him of the tip. and at the same time had
said that a certain Baptist clergyman,
whom he had driven about the city a
few days before as Mr.. Grady's guest,
had at the end OF the ride rewarded him
with his blessing, saying that he could
give no other reward. Mr.. Grady asked
which he preferred, the dollar or the
blessing. and the coachman, scratching
his head, replied that both were good
and that he thought he preferred them
mixed. "And there are many others Of
us, l think" concluded DIR. Field, "whc
prefer them mixed. New York Times

The Life ola ship.

An interesting discussion has been
started ON the subject of the life of the
ships. 1t appears that this is very much
q question of where the ship is built. 1t
Is found that vessels constructed in the
United States last, on an average, IS
years only. French ships average 20;
Dutch, %; German, %; British, %; Ital-
ian, 81, and Norwegian, 30 years. The
average death rate Of the worlds ship
ping is about per cent and the birth
rate 5 per cent. 1t has become the prac.

to keep the material the same through
out as far as possible, and the stee
should be the same thickness as Theron

NEW wHATCoM COUNCIL
The Eldridge Right-of-way Contract
Accepted


Accepted
An adjourned meeting of the New
Whatcom city council was held last
evening for consideration of the petit
ton of Hugh Eldridge, praying for a
definite location of the right-of-way for
water mains through section %, at the
head of Lake Whatcom, in case the
city completes the purchase of the
water works. In 1854 Edward FL
bridge and Erastus Bartlett executed
lease to the Bellingham Bay Water
company for an indefinite right-of-way
through any portion of the property for
term of fifty years This rowing
right-of-way has prevented a very adj
vantageous sale of the property for
manufacturing purposes, the parties
negotiating for it refusing to buy as
long as the lease was IN force. Hugh
Eldridge submitted to the council a
contract agreeing to deed to the city
outright right-of-way fifty feet wide,
anywhere south of the creek, to be To-
Gated by the city within twelve months
after acquiring the water system.
Several slight amendments and al
| terations were made. A clause in the
contract limiting the right-of-way to
| the transmission of water for domestic
purposes only was stricken out, and a
clause granting the city the right to
dam the outlet of the lake was added.
! Upon motion of Cooper the mayor and
| clerk were authorized to execute the
contract by unanimous vote.
The mayor called up the matter of
the improvement of Dock street and
provoked lively discussion. He said
that when the work was authorized ii
was understood that it was to be paid
| for. with the exception of street inter
sections, by the abutting property.
When the contract was awarded to
Bell Il McKaskel the contractors eX-
ecuted a bond guarante ing that the
city should not be liable for the war
rants drawn i'm payment of the inn
provement other than for street inter
sections. He said that in signing the
warrants he had indorsed on the back
a reference to the bond setting forth
limitations of the city's liability for the
purpose of warning innocent pur-
chasers.
Likins-Mr Mayor, it was under
stood when that bond was executed
that the warrants were not to be de
faced by any limitations 1t was pro
posed by the council, but the con-
tractors objected and executed thi:
bond in place of having the limitations
set forth in the warrant.
The clerk informed the council that
the contractors had called for the war
rants but refused to take thendKnn ac
count of the mayors indorsem&t.

THE HUMMlNG OF TELEGRAPH
WIRES.

You have all heard the humming and
singing Of telegraph and telephone wires
as you passed the poles along the streets
No doubt you have concluded that it is
caused by the action of the wind on the
wires, and given it no further thought.
But it is not true that the singing
is caused by the wind, and if sou are at
all observing you will notice that often
the hummiug sound is to DO heard these
cold Winter mornings when the smoke
from the chimney goes straight up until
it is lost in the clouds, and when the
frost on the wires is as fuzzy and thick
as roll of chenille fringe.
The wind has nothing to do with the
sound, and according to an Austrian
scientist tie vibrations are due to the
changes CT atmospheric temperature
and especially through the action of cold
as lowering OF temperature induces
a shortening OF the wires extending over
the whole OF the conductor. A consider
able amount of friction is produced on
the supporting bells, thus inducing
sounds both on the wires and the poles.
When this hummirg las been going
on birds have mistaken iLo sound for
insects inside the poles, and have been
seen to peck with their bills on the out.
side as they do upon the apple aud other
trees. The story is told of a bear tina
mistook the humming noise as coming
from a nest OF bees aud clGwed at the
pole and tore away the stones at it's base
in the hope Of finGing the much coveted
honey.

SUN WORSHIP.

A little more sun worship on the part
of American housewives would make the
atmosphere of our houses healthier and
more agreeable. Ia the middle OF the
day, during the heated term and the lily

perennial nustiness and gloom which
pervades the best room of many homes.
1t is more unhealthiul and unclean than
all the microbes and dust that could
come in through your opened windows.
Draw back the draperies and throw wide
the windows i'll the early morning, and
let Heavens air sweep through your
house and Heavens air sweeten it, then
close them but only partially, through
the hottest part of the day Think OF
the moral effect of the dungeon gloom

the disposition Of your family. Once
