The beauty Of proerastIRatlon and
the advantage Of the sluggard are not
ethical phrases. but they appear as q
sort Of q subtitle to one comic episode
In q terrible tragedy. When the
steamer Islander was going down in
ALASKAN waters last summer, hurried
warning was sent to the staterooms.
One man, half-awakened, laughed at
what he thought false alarm. and
turned over for another nap. An in
slant later occurred the explosion,
which hurled him into the air upon
his mattress. which came down right
side up upon the water. The disaster
occurred near shore, the mattress was
eventually hooked in, and the passen-
ger was rescued unhurt. This tale
may be believed only by those who
have escaped maryelously the dangers
Of tornado, but II is absolutely true.
/. That the Russian government Is pro-
viding for eventualities Ia regard to
the building Of railway carriages for
the Manchnrian railway Is shown By
the notification as to the manufacture
Of twenty carriages for which an order
has been given. The carriages Will
differ from the present type in that
the sldes Of the carriages will consist
OF two plates with thick layer Of
compressed cork between the inner
and outer plates. the latter being s-4
inch thick The Russian government
evidently fear some sniping along the
route.

Death of Mrs. e. j. West, of Duluth.
MIMI. just ms q PnImist Told
Her She Would Die

st. Paul, Mimi. June GA special
TO the Pioneer Press from Duluth.
Mimi, says:
Mrs. {. j. West. aged "a, wife of C..
). West, of the Duluth Iron & Metal
Co., while in Chicago, about six weeks
ago. visited a palmist with party
of friends, and was startled to be
informed that she had but. 30 days
TO live. She laughted the matter off.
and made light of the prediction. but
evidently it made considerable i'm
preston upon her. After visit OF
two weeks in Chicago Mrs. West went
with her friends to a small town
across the Indiana border. where a
party was given in her honor. One
OF the ladies with whom Mrs. West
had been playing cards proposed to
tel her fortune. Again the fateful
prediction was made that Mrs. West
had but two more weeks of life.
Two days later Mrs. West com
planned of feeling i'll. and returned
TO her home in Duluth. Eminent phy.
sicians were gathered in consultation.
but despite their best efforts, she died
last Thursday, the last day of the fla.
tai two weekes.
The doctors in attendance unon
MRS. West say that the fortune tell
ing undoubtedly eNerted an influence
