The action OF the house of delegates in
declining to submit the question of bond
ing the city for an electric light plant was
entirely proper. It was the intent Of the
charter that the city council should sub
NIT to the people for decision only such
propositions A. approved themselves to
their Judgment If the house Of delegates
did not believe that it was good policy for
the city ct this time to 60 into debt tor the
purpose Of buying an electric light plant
they did right in saying 20. II would have
been cowardly for them to have voted
against their conviction Of right.

20 We urge upon the citizens of Seattle the
need of going to the polls today and vot-
ing ''yes" upon the two propositions sub
mitted by the board Of school directors.
The question as to whether or not the
more advanced studies taught in the high
are necessary is too well settled by the
people of the United States to need argu-
ment. This fact being granted. then suit
able quarters and proper appliances must
be provided. A tent might be made to
answer, but what citizen Of Seattle would
care to point to the tent as the high
school of the city.
To'keep step with the rest OF the world
we must do rs the rest of the world does.
When the little red schoolhouse was the
best that was offered in the older COM
munities, the new states could afford to be
content also with the little red school
house. Mos. of the new states, however.
offered something a little better than was
to be found in the older states, and 90
added TO the inducements for immigra-
ton.
Out OF these friendly rivairies IN a
worthy cause has sprung the long line Of
beautiful school bsiidings that dot the
country from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Out of there buildings have come the man
hood and won anhood of the nation.
The school system of Seattle should be
kept up to the highest standard. Every
voter who is interested in tho welfare and

propositions submitted by the board Of

CHANCES OF GETTING KILLED.
In 24-EIile Railroad Ride They Are
in l ,491, o10.

If man takes ride of the average
length, which is almost twenty-fOur
miles, in railway train in this country,
what is his chance of getting killed. Ac-
cOrding to the interesting report of the
interstate commerce commission, just out
it is one chance in ,49l $40. If a young
man of 20, Tilted by his sweetheart,
should determine to commit suicide with
out sin by getting accidentally killed in a
railway accident, he might do it. Ger
tainly he might do it. If he were to get
on train as passenger and ride, ride,
ride at the rate of thirty-fve and one
half miles an hour day and night, every
hour OF every day, and every day in the
year. if he had average luck he
would eventually get surcease from
the gnawing pain at his heart some
where in the course of passing
over 81, 542, 2S2 miles, for according to
these official figures, one passenger is
killed for every 30, 542, 2S2 miles that a
passenger is carried. According TO the
same he would beiniured in some way 80
times, or times and q bad scare. 1t is a
little better than one chance in three that
he would come to an untimely grave in
consequence Of collision, but if he pre-
ferred to have the train run off the track
to kill him he would have only one chance
in nine to be satisfied. His possible jour
ney would have taken him around this
weary world and past the place where she
went to housekeeping with the other fell

In this melancholy state of mind he

And when, after all his iourneying to

DRIVEN OUT BY SCORPIONS.
The Captain and Grew of the Boyd
Singularly Afflicted.
From the Phiiadelphia Press

From the Philadelphia Press.
The schooner Wallace j. Boyd. Capt.
Godfrey, arrived here early yesterday
morning from Montevideo, with cargo,
bones which were gathered from the
plains of that locality and the voyage will
long be remembered by Capt Godfrey and
his wife, as well as by all of the sailors.
She ship became infested with scorpions
and other pestiferous bugs which arose
from the cargo and penetrated every
available quarter of the ship. The sea-
mems rest wac disturbed, and for weeks
at a time the unfortunate men dared not
rest themselves in their hunks for fear of
being stung by one of the myriads of
these bugs.
Every effort to rid the ship of the
plague was unsuccessful, and, even on
Monday night while lying at the upper
quarantine, the decks and cabins were
alive with these creeping insects. Gil
matte changes had no effect whatever on
them, and those of the crew who enter
tanned the belief that they would dlsap-
pear as the northern attitudes were
reached were disappointed.
Captain Godfrey is at loss TO know
how they found their way out from be-
meath the matches, which, on board yes
| sells, are regarded as even air-tight, yet
they arose in thousands, and made life
horrible on board the ship. Five and six
times a day all hands were forced to
change their clothing, but this did not
prevent that horrible pricking feeling Of
live vermin crawling over the bare skin.
When the vessel reached her pier yester-
day the sailors at once left, and nothing
could ever induce any of them to again
ship on a bone laden vessel.
Capt Godfrey said yesterday that
they sailed from monteVidco, Aug. H.
and up to Sept. none Of the
vermin had appeared The day in ques-
tion was very warm and the atmosphere
was heavy and damp. About noon around
the main hatch large green bugs were
seen coming up from inside the combings
and toward evening the ships decks were
alive. The next morning they found their
way down into the forecastle and drove
all the sailors ont. The same night the
after cabin was invaded. Since that time
this unfortunate condition of affairs has
existed and the bugs were thrown over
board by the bucket full every day since
When the wind was blowing fresh the
air was full of the unwelcome visitors
and in Gains they lay torpid on the decks.
The bed clothing, table cloths and even
wearing apparel became full of the in
sects, but fortunately none of the crew
were bitten by any poisonous insect
Captain Godfrey says that the bones
which he has on board were principally
brought from the extreme upper regions
in the river Plata in lighters. They were
gathered from the plains where they had
probably been for ages. Many whole
skeletons of horses. sheep and oxen are
among the collection, all of which will 10
ground up at this port. While lying IN
the plains they no doubt became infesteu
with these bugs and the extreme heat Of
the vessels hold drove them up on the
deck
