them Is the following, sent by we'll
known Seattle ciairvoyant who predicted
the great Seattle fire:
Seattle, Wash. Feb. 8, ls95.-County
Clerk Curry-Dear Sir: In addressing
myself To you do not deem an apology
necessary. The object of this letter Is
twofold-the unraveling OF a mystery In
the interest OF justice. and, il successful,
an acknowledgment on your part of same.
You say you will use every endeavor
TO recover the will OF tho late J. G.. Fair.
stolen from your Office. and I offer my
service as true ciairvoyant and clair
audien. to assist you free of charge
Should be the means of furnishing you
with such clews as to enable you to re-
cover the lost Will or to apprehend the
thief by describing him. all the cosnpen-
sation / ask Is to acknowledge the same
either In a letter to me or In the news
papers.
'All I require OF you Is TO send me In
your own handwriting the date of your
birth and the color of your eyes and
hair"

and to render the hearts OF our citizens
loyal. that some military sraining
should be given 70 our young boys"
Col Cutler has not yet clearly out
lined the course he will pursue In push
ing the work on the Pacific coast. He
rill in a few days confer with the San
Francisco heart OF education and seek
to have the course OF study In the
schools altered so that thirty minutes
each day viii be devoted to instructing
the pupils in military tactics, patriot-
ism. etc. TIE Grand Army posts OF
California have already been notified
of Col. Cutters appointment and the
request made that each post detail In
structors TO act when the necessary
authority 10 do so is granted by the
school directors. The work will be Wig
orousiy prosecuted In other cities on
the Coast by Grand Army men. The
G. A. r. men oT Seattle VIII undoubt-
ed.y soon be alive to the agitation that
is penmeafing the E1ss and has just
reached the Pacific coast, and IL II re-
mains for them to take the initiative
in seeing fsle provisions of the new law
of congress put in operation here there
is little doubt but that these steps viii
be speedily taken.
Instead of having military drills and
instruction abolished from the state uni
versity. as was proposed BY one men,
Der of the present state Legislature, We
are likely to see the system put in
vogue IN all the public schools as well
as in the universities and Institutions
of higher education.

Growing Sentiment in Favor OF Mill

The sentiment of introducing military
instruction in all the public schools of
America IS fast gaining ground

had its origin about two years age.
Owing to the difficulty OF obtaining
suitable instructors the movement did
not progress fayorabiy. but on Deem
Der 10 last Hon. William j. coornbs. of
Brooklyn. was induced to introduce a
bill In congress which provides that
those schools and educational insti-
tutes of the several states which shall
adopt a system OF military instruction
shall receive the assistance of the gov
ernment in order TO secure to the
United States such a knowledge OF
military affairs among the youth Of the
country as win make them efficient as
volunteers Ii called upon for the ma
tional defense"
The bill authorizes the secretary OF
war to issue at his discretion ordnance
and stores belonging 10 the government
required for military instruction in the
public schools, and to detail for such
instruction officers of the army sta
toned in towns of over coo inhabitants.
Such instruction in all cases shall be
free o. charge.
