Seattle people are figuring on building
a steamboat to ply on the Okanogan riv-
er from Virginia City to Osoyoos lake.
The reason given for this move is that
the mining sections of Okanogan are now
assuming considerable Importance, and
that mining development is being serious
~ retarded for the lack of proper trans
nortation facilities.

The Feminine of Burglar"

The habit of adding less" to form the
feminine as in poetess, authoress and
similar words, is not in accordance
with the best English usage. The same
plan Of manufacturing a feminine
would give us burglaress, writeress
and clerkess. In several other Ian
guages the feminine is easily and nat
urally made according to certain def
mite rules, but the English language is
so variable and changes so much from
age to age, in accordance with the needs
of the people speaking it, that while
these manufactured feminines cannot
be pronounced incorrect, since they are
in extensive employment-and in these
matters usage makes right-thcy are
hardly in accord with good taste as H.

4 HEAVY Tax on FUN.

Lenna Winslow. OF Kansas City Kan. was
initiated into the Order OF the Maccabees some
time ago. The boys were feeling pretty good on
the night OF the initiation and added to the au-
gust ceremonies prescribed by the ritual some
froliosome ideas OF their own. over which they
laughed immodcrately, one member going so
far as to remark that he hadn't had so much
fun since Gibbs hung" But Mr.. Winsiow
does not appear to be highly lowered with
sense Of humor. He didn't join In the laugh
over the uproarous fun OF the Initiation, anu
in fact went so far as to remark that he didn't
think "the burned old initiation was so blamed
funny. anyhow" Further reflection and the dls-
covery that one Of his ribs had been broken
accidentally OF course-in the course OF the cere-
monies only served to confirm him In his view
That Is always the way with men who are de-
ncent in a sense OF humor They allow them
selves to be swayed by mere facts Mr.. Winslow
permitted broken rib to stand between him
and appreciation OF funny initiation. what
really is little thing like a broken rib between
friends. especially when you have twenty-three
sound ribs left? But instead Of asking that
question and giving 1t the proper answer. Mr.
Wnslow hailed the funny fellows Of the lodge
before a court OF law asking for personal dam
ages to the extent OF $4,000. They had called
him brother and had led him from darkness
to light. after he had tried with somewhat poor
success to make the trip himself while blind
folded and this how their fraternal efforts
rewarded Truly this Is curious world,
when the good deeds of men are thus misunder-
stood.
But the worst remains yet to be told In
stead OF chuckling over the frolcs OF the In
itiaton. the fury strangely enough took Mr..
Wlnslow's view OF it and awarded him damages
to the extent Of $4,000! 1t Is thought by some
that the people OF Kansas are already inclined
10 take life too seriously; but how we ex-
pect them to be funny when courts and juries
put su III a heavy tax on fun? For not more
than hours fun. at most these good citizens
OF Kansas City. Kan. are now compelled to shell
out $4,000. II would not be at all surprising
IT, under these circumstances. they sternly re-
solved never to be funny again.

SCANDINAVIAN COMPLICATIONS.

The report is extant that Sweden is at the
point of attempting to intervene in Norwegian
affairs with force and arms. This is probably
exaggerated for Sweden has OF course, no right
to do any such thing. 1t would be nothing less
than waging war against neghboring Power
and although Sweden is the larger Of the two
and might therefore win II the war were con-
fined to the peninsula, tLo probabilities OF more
extended complications would be so great as
to make the war a serious menace to the gen.
erai peace OF Europe. The fact that the same
report says Sweden Is looking for German as
sistance shows how closely connected Scan
dinavlan affairs are with those Of the rest Of
Europe. Pressure would doubtless therefore be
brought to bear upon the two Kingdoms to keep
the peace were there real danger Of their break
Ing It.
Nevertheless. relations between Sweden and
Norway have for years been In a VIGOROUSLY
unsatisfactory condition. Each has been jeal-
Gus Of the other, but Norway has especially
cherished grievances against her neighbor. This
has been partly because Norway thinks the for
eign affairs Of the two Kingdoms are too much
monopollzed by Sweden, which may or NAV
not be true, and partly because there has arisen
in Norway, under the leadership Of Mr.. Bi3rn-
that is not merely hostile to the Swedish ALI.
ance and to the Bernadotte dynasty, but to
monarchism itself. It's aim is to upset the
throne and to establish Norwegian repub-
lie. In this 1t seeks, cur!ously enough the aid
OF the most anti-republican OF all European
countries. Russia. There have been for some
years close relations between the Radical lead
ers in Norway and the Russian Court and the
opinion has more than once been openly ex
pressed by men Of influence in Norway that an
alliance should be formed with Russia against
Sweden. and 1t has actually been proposed to
cede to Russia a part Of Northern Norway. In.
Guiding an ice-free Atlantic port, as the price Of
that support.
Now, there may not be much danger Of Nor
ways actually proceeding to so extreme and
probably suicidal step. The majority Of her
people may be more sane than the leaders who
suggest 1t. But the fact that II is proposed at
all Is enough to rouse the gravest suspicious
and most violent resentment In Sweden. For
the latter both fears and hates Russia above
all other Powers on earth. What Schleswie-
Holstein is to Denmark and what Alsace- Tor.
raine Is to France, that Is Finland to Sweden.
and with cause For ten centuries there has
been enmity between Sweden and Russia. And
the Swedes remember we'll that the Eastern
colossus has not always been the victor The
great Gustavus taught the Russians to tremble
at the sound Of his name. and it was not Rus
sian armies but a Russian winter that crushed
Charles XII Nor DO the annals Of European
wars contain many more heroic chapters than
that which tells Of Sweden's defence of Finland
against overwhelming aggression In 1SOS.'09.
