 Whatever may be said-and much can be-of the beauties of the Alaskan coast, 1t is not inviting to the seafariug man, and especially the master who is taking Q ship by the inside route from Puget sound to Sitka or Juneau for the first time, a feat, so 1t is claimed. imposGi- ble of accomplishment by continuocs voyage save through the assistance of c good pilot. This passageway-formed by the mainland coasts of British Co., lands ranging in length from to 25o miles-is from 100 yards to several miles in width. The channels proper are of unusual depth. In places from 800 to 400 fathoms of water are fre- quently found.

In these waters the lead is supplanted by whistle echoes from the land. this being the only method during fog by which the captain or pilot guides his vessel along Q safe way.
 Old sea captains say there is no wa ter course in the world where in unfa- vorable weather such skill is required as to guide 8 ship via the channels on q voyage from the sound and return, the pound trip to Sitka being more than half the distance of the voyage across the Atlantic. The Pacific Coast Steam ship company's s vessels running to Alas ka are always manned with two pilots each in the winter and spring and are never without one pilot. With at least two of this company's vessels now rum ming to Alaska the captains themselves served an apprenticeship of many years at piloting.
 The outside passage, the one by the open ocean, is seldom used, on account of the unfavorable winds which prevail for 6 distance of over 50 miles out to sea, rendering vessels progress much slower, to say nothing of the danger o4 ships being caught in 6 gale and driven ashore. With the danger from wreck almost eliminated by the employment of professional pilots, the inside passage is rendered 8 most delightful voyage, &A it abounds in beautiful scenery and ia free from winds Seattle Post IntelN- 0enoer

Shocking Depravity on the Part of Birds
 Witnessed by Andrew Lang.

Their antics were funny, but vulgar. By o'clock we found the ducks sleeping off the effects of their debauoh. We awakened them, and they all staggered eagerly to a bucket of wa ter, from which they quenched the tor ments of thirst. A small sea bird behav- ed in 8 still more deplorable way. He slowly drifted down the Loohy from the fatal intoxicating burn, nor could peb- bles judioiously thrown at him induce him to take the wing. He tried to dive, making efforts comic and unsuccessful. After drifting through the bridge re- gret to say that he returned to the burn and "took 8 cup of kindness yet," get ting all the more intoxicated and drift ing back in a yet more deplorable condi- ton. What a lesson, we said, is this to mankind, who. after all, need not speak of their boasted reasonableness! The wild and tame things of stream and ocean are as unwise as we."
 Benson and Tom Mann.
 A writer in Goodwill says that Tom Mann once accused the clergy of not sympsthizing with the poor. Arcl.bi op Benson, hearing of this. invited him to Lambeth and taxed him with it. Co., ing up to the bookshelf he took down . book and began reading. ''This, said the archbishor, "is written by clergy man. What do you think of it3'' "Oh. that's all right" said Tom Mann. "Who wrote it?'' 'I did," said the archbishop, somewhat triumphantly, presenting him with the book. The book was *Ciirist and His Times,'' and the passage which the archbishop read was from the chapter on Suffering Populations. Tom Mann often made use of the book at socialist meetings.

NINE NAM ES.

"Play balll" exclaims the political
oracle of the Atlanta Journal. 'From
this nine comes our next governor"
Then he proceeds to name the nine
as follows; Robert L. Berner, Joseph
Nj. Terrell, Fleming G. duBignon, j.
Pope Brown, Allen d. Gambler, "Hut"
jenkins, Clement A. Evans, Charles
A. Collier, Peter W. Meldrim.
In this alluring array the public will
notice that the journal, obeying the
old habit of north Georgia journals,
gives south Georgia the small end of
the prophecy. Thus does the political
greed of the northward tier of coun-
ties show itself when least expected
and despite evident effort at conceal
ment.
But this forecast of the guberna-
torial handicap does south Georgia
another injustice in limiting the
newspaper advocacy of this sections
favorite, with a manifest sneer, to
"the south Georgia weeklies," forget
ting the fact that it was north Geor-
gia daily that first mentioned his
name in connection with the next
election, and that although the week
lies are most valuable assistants in any
campaign, the dailies have by no means
allowed them the sole honor of up
holding south Georgia's claims.
They are all good men, these north
Georgia probabilities-splendid men,
with splendid records behind them.
| If that section should be accorded
again next year the honor on which
it has thrived and grown proud, no
better list could be offered for a selec-
ton.
| But
South Georgia will name the next
governor.
