Although the health of King Oscar
of Sweden continues to improve. his
physicians have ordered him to take
a complete rest. Therefore His Maj
esty has intrusted the Government
Professionally to the Crown Prince,
Prince Gustave, and has gone to Sal
toja- Baden.
The State Department has forward
ed to Ambassador White at Berlin
full instructions as to the presentation
he is to make to the German Minister
of Foreign Affairs relative to the in
dignity reported to have been offered
the Chief Justice of Samoa by the
German officials at Apia. The de-
partment also has had some exchang-
es with the German Ambassador here
on the subject. The nature of these
communications cannot be revealed,
but it is believed that they show an
abiding confidence in the disposition
of the German Government to right
any wrong that may have been perpe-
trated at Apia.
The robbery of over 100000 from
PARIS bank in London took a dramatic
turn when the chairman of the bank
announced at meeting of the share
holders that 5000, 900 in the biggest
notes had been returned to the bank
by post. The robbery, apparently,
was a most daring crime. The thief
is supposed to have walked boldly be-
hind the counter where there were
over 100 clerks at work, opened a
drawer, took parcel of notes and
walked out of the bank undetected.
American thieves are suspected of
having been concerned in the theft of
the notes, as it is said several Ameri-
cans were noticed lettering recently
about the premises.

The Life Of a
Watch

Depends greatly on the care
which the owner bestows upon it.
A good watch, if CAREFULLY
CLEANED and OILED once a
year as it should be, will last life
time; yes, a hundred years. Many
good watches are allowed to go
without cleaning and oiling for
years, with the result that the oil is
entirely dried up, the pivots are cut
and rusted out, so that it costs
twice as much to put the watch in
proper condition again as it would
if given timely attention.
If your watch is not giving you satisfaction,
bring it to me and will tell you just what it
needs.
Respectfully,
GEO. G.. LANG,
Graduate Matchmaker and Optician.
