Another institution of which
Seattle is justly proud is the Mo
ran ship-buildiug and iron work
ing establishment, composed of
seven brothers, who have built nm
a magnificent business, having con-
strncted the wonderful torpcdo
boat Rowan, seen at the dry dock
as well as swift Government tug,
and more than dozen steamers
for the Yukon traffic. This con-
cern also constructed the heavy
pumps used at the dry dock in
removing the water after DOCKING
a ship. These are the lare .st
pumps rssd on the coast and
necessitated the largest special
casting ever made this side the

A phenomenon. the cause OF which
has not yet been satisfactorily ex-
planned. was described at the last
meeting Of the British association.
Disks OF loaf sugar were mounted on
a lathe and rapidly rotated while n
hammer played lightly against them
An almost continuous radiation OF
light was thus produced from the su-
gar. It was shown that the light did
not arise from heating OF tho sugar.
and II is believed to be caused by
some change taking place In the SUI
gar crystals. The act OF capitalization
is known to be sometimes accompanied
by flashes Of light The practical bear
ing OF these experiments is on the
question OF the possibility OF obtaining
artificial light by methods as yet un-

DEATH OK LITTLE
CLARENCE BARNWELL
A Former Resident of EI-

The angel of death has again
visited the family of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Barnwell, this time claim
ing as its prize their dear little
son Clarence, who died at Rife
Colo, Saturday, August 5tb'
1879, ut 1890 a. m. of Appendi-

The family had started to Pla.
teau Valley to visit their children
there, and to assist in beautifyine

Myrtle who was taken from them
less than one month before. While
on the road between Meeker and

plain of not feeling well but did
not appear to be at all dangerous.

death. Upon their arrival in
Rifle Saturday morning a phy.
sician was Immediately summoned
but deaths cold seal was upon his
brow and at 1920 a. IN. after q
few hours intense suffering the
spirit of little Clarence hal cross
ed the river of death to join his
sister in the Great Beyond.
Clarence was born on the old
homestead south of Ebert Janu-
airy 9th, 1887, and although frail
in body he had mind of unusual
strength, giving every promise of
being comfort and blessing to
his parents in their declining
years, but God in His wisdom and
mercy saw fiji to call him to a
better world.
The family is almost distracted
with grief over their double be-
reavement and have the heartfelt
sympathy of their many friends.
May they each be comforted
with the thought that there is a
better world where We will some
day be reunited with those we
have loved and lost, never to know
sorrow nor sad parting.
One by one earth's ties are broken.
As we see our love decay;
And the hopes so fondly cherished,
Brighten bnt to pass away.
One by one our hopes grow brighter.
As near the shining rhore
For know across the river
Wait the loved ones gone before.

Some Potent Facts.

There are some we'll meaning but easy
going parents in this town who are sowine
the seed of parental carelessness, that will
grow them terrible crop of childrens
ingratitude. Just as sure as the children
are not given a little more attention a,
home, and kept off the streets at night,
some of their parents are going to reap a
harvest of tears and anguish. The streets,
and especially the streets at night are
schools of vice that have broken many a
mothers heart and sent father grey hairs
to the grave in sorrow. Every night a
crowd of from forty to twice that number
are seen congregated on our streets, not
boys alone either, but girls as well, Just as
rough apparently as the boys. They
crowd into every free entertainment, and
make life a burden to the decent people
who attend. A wedding is a signal for
breaking loose from all parental constraint
and making night hidious with yelling
caterwaulings and racket, until decent peo-
pie begin to believe they are safe only at
home We are thankful to say they are
not all thus. Not even a majority of them
There is whole lot of very fine gentle
manly and lady-like children among them
but there are enough of the others to turn
bedlam loose, when they try and they thy
too often This sort of thing must be
If the children don t mend their
ways the people will soon demand that the
law step in and do for them what their
parents neglect to do. A lesson must be
taught soon. The spirit of lawlessness is
becoming so prevalent that the people are
getting out of patience. No one likes to
see young people enjoy themselves better
than we do. we liked when young to- visit
the newly married and get our treat, =
but about the first one who banged the
door of a private house would have had a
chance to reflect on such actions, after
dancing lively around farmers black
snake whip, about ten minutes. We hope
these few remarks will recall to parents
the necessity of little care in these mat
tiers. -Hoquiam Washington.
