Death Of Presidents

Mr.. Harrison, who died at 81, reached
just the average age for the death Of
presidents of the United States who
were inaugurated during the last half
of the century. During the first sixty
years of the republics existence its
chief magistrates lived longer than
they did later. Whether this is due to
chance or to altered conditions, it is
true that the longevity Of the presi.
dents has diminished.
It is q curious fact that the life Of the
first and of the last president to die
ended at the same age, and from the
same disease. Washington and Harri-
son both died from pneumonia at the
age,of 81. A hardy lot Of men followed
Washington. John Adams lived to be
80, jefferson to be SO, Madison to be IS,
Monroe to be 70, John Quincy Adams
to be 80, jackson to be 78 and Van
Buren, to be 70. Since that time only
four have rounded out their allotted
three score years and ten. Tyler
reached the age of II, Fillmore "a, Blu.
chanan II and Hayes 70. Lincoln was
assassinated at Sc and Garfield at 40,
but even with these two counted out,
the latter part of the century shows q
falling off in lOngevity.-Kansas City

The Cannery OnAl Question

The Cannery OnAl Question
A number of our local citizens, in
Guiding DR.. Wright, county health
officer, and several of the county Off.
GERS, have petitioned the county com.
missioners to request the Pacific-Ameri-
can Fisheries Company ito adopt some
other and more effectual method Of
disposing of the offal resulting from
the operation Of the cannery here dur.
inc the summer months" The peti.
ton states that as now disposed OF, by
merely being dumped into the water at
ihe cannery, the offal "becomes ex-
posed at low tide and is washed upon
the adjacent shores and gives rise to
odors which are extremely offensive
and in the opinion of many are q
menace to public health" The petition
concludes with the following para
graph:
stood that we have no desire to impose
any unreasonable restrictions upon the
company owing and operating the can
nery. the benefits of which to the
county and to the community are fully
APPRECIATED, we wish to point out that
this annual "stench IN the noetrlls" of
many of our citizens can easily be
avoided If the company will have the
cannery refuse dumped into scows and
taken out by its steamers and thrown
into the swift tidal current of the San
Juan channel. This manner of dispos-
| ing of it would Be simple, inexpensive
and effective, and we, your petitioners,
respectfully ask that you request its
adoption"
The petition was approved by the
board and copy ordered forwarded to
the manager of the company at Fair.

SUICIDE AT ROCHE HAxBoR

J. r. stringsr Blows Out His Brains with
. Rine Sunday Afternoon
J. F. Stringer, Of Roche Harbor, who
had been in the employ Of the Lime
company there Tor about two years,
committed suicide in q most horrible
manner about 8 o'clock last Sunday af.
ternoon. He and his wife were about
to remove to tract of land in Jeffer.
son county, which he purchased about
year ago from DR.. Capron, and they
had already begun to pack their ef-
fects. Mrs. Stringer went out of the
house for few minutes to do q little
work in the yard and during her alb
sence he went into their bedroom and
standing with his back to the bed, upon
which he fell, blew out his brains with
a rifle. He evidently stood the rife
upright on the floor and then STOPPING
over 50 that his forehead was upon or
close to the muzzle, discharged it by
pressing the trigger with q stick. The
top of his head was blown off and the
ceiling Of the room was spattered with
blood and brains. A large piece Of
skull lodged in the lace window cur
tain and the bed was saturated with
blood.
A message was sent to the coroner
here requesting him to make whatever
investigation the circumstances seem
to call for, but as he was unable to at
tend on account of professional duties,
he deptized Justice L. G. Larson. The
evidence of suicide being unquestion.
able NO inquest was considered neces-
sary.
Mr.. Stringer was a quiet, industri.
GUS, goOd.tempered and ordinarily
cheerful man. He came here from
Missouri, but he was Kentuckian by
birth and his mother and other near
relatives are now residents of that
state. The body was taken to Seattle
Tuesday, accompanied by Rev. s. 8.
Cutler, to be embalmed and sent to
Kentucky if 20 directed by the unfor-
tuanate mans mother. He was appar-
emily about forty-fve years of age.
His wife is nearly Frustrated with grief
and has as vet made no definite plans
for the future. She will remain tenn
porarily at Roche Harbor. They have
no children.

Care In Making Ayes.

An ak is subject to rigid tests before
1t is pronounced perfect. The steel must
be of the required temper. the weight
of all axes of the same size must be
uniform, all must be ground alike and
in various other ways conform to an es-
tablished standard. The inspector who
tests the quality of the steel does so by
hammering the blade and striking the
edge to ascertain whether it be too
brittle or not. An AK that breaks dur
ing the test is thrown aside to be made
over. Before the material of an Ak is in
the proper shape it has been heated five
times, including the tempering process,
and the ak when completed has passed
through the hands of about 40 work
men, each of whom has done something
toward perfecting it. After passing in
spection the axes go to the grinding de-
partment and from that to the polish
ers, who finish them upon emery
wheels.

A martinez of a sergeant deciding to
get married, some of his men decided
that when the happy event came of 1t
would be a fitting occasion to pay back
with interest old scores, especially as
their friends decided to keep up the
time honored custom of throwing rice
and old shoes at the happy couple.
On the eventful day when the happy
pair emerged from their quarters they
were greeted with a perfect shower of
rice and old shoes, but one Tommy had
silly substituted n big pair of regula-
ton Butchers, which he threw with
such unerring aim that the missile
caught the sergeant just above the eye,
infiicting a nasty cut.
Directly the ceremony was over the
sergeant Immediately went to the hos
pital to have the wound dressed. The
doctor, after examining the swollen aud
diseolored optic, inquired how it was
done.
