At a meeting of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, held
Jan. 3rd, the following resolutions
were adopted:
L. Resolved, That in order to dispel
misapprehension regarding the com
munication signed "W," printed in the
Inter Ocean Dec. 22nd, we explain that
said letter was written by the W. G. r.
U. of this city. That it, in common
with all articles which have appeared
bearing upon local conditions, was
passed upon by a committee of mem
DerS OF the union before it was handed
to the printer.
2. Resolved, That inasmuch as we
have received the most gratifying as
surances of the good done by our press
department., we continue to send tenn
perance matter to our papers whenever
practicable in the form Of letters.
since, owing to our added departments
of work we are unable to Sustain a
regular press column.
3. Resolved, That we call the at.
tention of those Interested in our town
to the fact that hurting lurid adiectives
is no refutation of the statements we
have made.
4. Resolved, That we ask Chief of
Police Hurst to nail on a postal card
to u president or treasurer the
names and locality of the destitute
families to which he has called our
attention.
5. Resolved, that we thank the
editor Of the Inter-Ocean and Free
Press for their u~nvarying courtesy and
The cheerfulness with which thew

English Royal Marriages.

The English royal marriage act is one
of the time honored absurdities which
survive in spite of common sense and
enlightened public opinion. By it the
matrimonial choice of the English
princes is practically restricted to the
warns of 1.-THE German hive and the
proverbially handsome English women
are forbidden. The legal prohibition
was enacted in 1772 at the persistent
command of George III, be "being
thereunto melted" first, by the mar
riage in 1916 Of his brother, the Duke
of Gloster, to the Countess W%aldegrave
maria Walpole). and. second, by the
taking to wife by a young brother, the
Duke Of Cumberland, in 1911, of the
widow of Colonel Christopher Horton.
The first provision Of the act forbids
to the descendants of George II matri-
mony without the consent of the crown
under the great seal. necessary excep-
ton being made to cover the marriages
of princesses abroad. The second pro-
vision has been the especial mark of
rai1lery. 1t enables marriage by one
above the age of 25 against the will of
the crown. under certain conditions.

GIVING SUM-
When It's Heat Becomes Extinct, the
Earth Will Freeze Solid.

When Its Heat Becomes Extinct. the
Earth Will Freeze Solid.
Our sun is now a yellow star similar
to Capella, and hence it will eventually
become blush white like Sirius and
Vega. says Professor 7. J. J. See in.
The Atlantic. The secular shrinkage Of
the suns radius will cause a steady rise
in its temperature, and when the body
has reached the stage Of Sirius, where
the temperature is perhaps doubled, the
light emitted will become intensely
blue. The temperature may be expected
to go on rising till a small radius Is at
tanned, and finally, when the dense
mass. intensely hot. becomes incapable
of further shrinkage. on account of in
crease in the molecular forces resisting
condensation, a cooling will gradually
ensue. after which the body will liquefy
and then rapidly decline in splendor.
The sun will ~thenceforth be wrapped in
everlasting darkness, and the chill of
death will overtake the planetary sys-
tenn. A condition of darkness thus fol-
lows close upon a period of intense bril-
liancy. and hence the obscurity of such
bodies as the companions Of Sirius
Procyon and Algol. The most obscure
satellites are thus associated with some
of the brightest and most intensely lu-
minous stars in our sky, and here the
smaller of the two masses, as in the case
Of the paanets Of the solar system. have
developed most rapidly.
In view of this approaching extinc-
ton Of the sun'A, activity it becomes
a matter Of interest to inquire how long
its heat will sustain life upon the earth.
Though it is difficult to submit the SUBJ
ject to accurate computation, it il easy
to see that the exhaustion of the suns
light and heat certainly will not occur
for several hundred thousand, ana per-
haps not for several million years. Thus
the ultimate doom Of our system need
occasion no anxiety among those now
living, but TIE result is philosophically
interesting to those who look several
million years into the future.
As experiment has shown that the
SUMS vertical rays falling continuously
upon terrestrial ice would melt q layer
three centimeters in thickness per day,
it follows that q similar shell of ice
would form over the earth in case the
SUMS light and heat were cut of. Thus
in a month the whole earth would be-
frozen like ne polar regions, and only
the deeper bodies of water, containing
a great amount of heat, would remain
in a liquid state. The oceans themselves:
would freeze over within a few years.
at the latest, and the winds and even
the tides would cease to agitate the ter
r~estrial globe, which would henceforths
spin in its orbit as a rigid, lifeless mass

Peculiar Practice of Formal Dinners~
Guests Garry Away Scraps
At the close of formal dinners in ia
pan the guests are presented with any
portion Of the meal they may fail to,
eat. However great or small the amount
they may fail to eat, it is carefully
wrapped up for them and they are ex-
pected to take it home with them. The
unique custom was followed at official
dinners until a short time ago. when it
was discontinued, but the withdrawal
Of government example has not materi-
ally affected the practice. The plan has
been followed for many years and it is.
difficult to place its origin.

embarrassed can hold out enough to tide,
them over several hungry days. The in
dulgent father or mother can pass the.
sweets and carry them home to their
children. Half a dozen satisfactory COM
binations can be worked on the plan.
There may be all kinds Of elaborate
courses at a dinner that one does not
care for, but the mental struggle of say
ing no is not half so hard when you.
know you will get a chance to carry the.
food off and either give it to your chill
dren. feed it to your dogs and cats or
distribute it among your friends The
Japanese practice is all that could be-
expected. Each kind of food is kept in
a separate parcel, and at the close Of
the dinner the share of each guest is,
made up in a neat and artistic bundle.

is said to have been made for the
claim by Illinois parties, where
Butler once resided. The mine
was accidentally discovered by
Butler while prospecting near the
Dewey mine. He had wandered
into chapparel and came upon an
opening among the bushes through
which the sun was shining. The

call a "gold blossom" and a claim
was at once staked out. The fortu-

A large delegation of farmers
sonth of Crazy went up to the
Lake Tuesday to give evidence in
the Jack Mapes wheat stealing
case. The prompt apprension and
punishment of wheat thieves,
means a good deal to the farmers
who leave grain in field bins
through the fall and winter.
While the possibility of bridg-
ing the lake is being discussed, we
would suggest that the Odessa
Narrows would be the proper place
for the bridge. The lake is only
about $50 feet wide and a road
there would tap about all the good
farm land on the reservation, not
tributary to the N. P. branch.
