ANOTHER OF our journalistic friends,
Honor L. Wilhelm Of The Coast, one
OF the most interesting of Western
periodicals, has joined the list OF bene-
diets, having been married Saturday
evening to Miss Helen Gordon OF Sc
attic. This event is the elimination
OF pretty little romance, in which
both figure as principals. Some time
ago Mr.. Welhelm was a patient in
hospital in that city, and on the verge
of the Dark River that bounds Futur-
ity. 1t was then and there that he
made the acquaintance OF Miss Cor.
don, whose duty it was, as profess
sional nurse, to care for him. From
professional duty to personal devotion
the transition, in this instance, and
under these circumstances, seemed to
be very natural and agreeable. and re-
covery the only course for a proper
ending Of the interesting page from
life's history. The sequence was very
readily surmised by his friends to
whom he related the wonderful inhu.
ence of faithful care of invalids upon
their recovery. 1t has fallen out just
as the scribes, with their wonderful
prescience fo-etold that it would. May
their predictions of contentment and
happiness of the couple likewise be
verified.

VIvIsECTIoN OF HUMAN BEINGS
Advance proofs OF paper devoted to
mercy work make the astounding
statement that vivisection is practiced
upon human beings, mainly children,
who are equally as unable to defend
themselves as the brute creation. The
author charges that helpless children,
given over to public care, have been
used for experimental work by the
medicos in tests that have been more
than likely to prove fatal. They have
beer inocculated with the virus of
cattle, suffering from some dread dis
ease, to study the relation between it
and some other contagion. Others
have been made the victims OF some
process which science has desire to
study at leisure and without much
care for possible results upon the hap.
less victim. The cutting and carving,
or the drugging with poisons, OF the
brute creation, has never received the
sanction of the public, although the
pain caused has been held by its advo-
Gates to be covered by the benefits to
scientific research. 1t is cruel and
despicable from every point of view,
and to substitute human beings for
such tests ia crime too black for
name. 1t is murder pure and deliber.
ate, without the possible excuse of
malice or motive, and should be pun
ished with the utmost rigor as capt.
tai crime,

A TITLED POETAsTER.-The Gar OF

we'll as tyrant, and numerous ryth-
mic contributions have appeared in a
Russian periodical over the signature
OF Olaf" that are believed to have
been written by him. They are said
to possess considerable OF true poetic
fervor in tho original language, which
loses much OF its force in translation.
Here are the second and third stanzas
OF one of his poems:

My pleasures have dissolved in flight,
heartstricken at my doom.
My soul grieves blindly for relief, chilled
as by drifting snow,
BY doubts which scott at the belief of

ANOTHER SEcT.-A new religious
sect has arisen at Corvallis, Oregon,
calling themselves Gods Amounted"
whose strange antics have aroused
much opposition from sensible people.
In their fanaticism they have burned
furniture, carpets, clothing, cooking
utensils, musical instruments, some.
times of much value; they have dug
up fruit trees and shrubbery, and dogs
and cats have been burned on q sacri.
fetal fire. They roll on the floor, and
scream and groan and shout in bodily
and mental agitation. They have had
to remove to the suburbs on account
of becoming nuisance. The head of
the movement is ex.chairman of the
Republican Central Committee and is
present State Committeeman. Some
OF the prominent members of the new
sect have been connected hitherto
with the Salvation Army.

Some New Duties of Mavor

Many OF our readers nav not know
that quite number of important
changes have been made by the last
Legislature in the law relating to off.
GERS of cities of the Third class, and
as a municipal election is at hand
the matter possesses a special interest.
Additional authority has been placed
IN the hands of the Mayor, who, under
the new law, found at page 200 of the
1913 Session Laws, appoints Marshal,
Police Justice, Policemen, Poundmas.
ter, City Engineer, Street Superintend-
ent, Water Superintendent and Audi
tor, none of whom are elected. He
also has given to him power to fill any
vacancy OF any elective office, such as
Treasurer, Health Officer, Clerk and
City Attorney. Vacancies on the
Council are filled by the majority vote
OF the Council. All appointments
made by the Mayor shall be subject to
confirmation by the City Council. If
the Council refuse to confirm, the
Mayor must continue to appoint until
his appointments are confirmed. If
he fails, for one week alter the rejec-
ton of his appointment, to appoint
another person, the Council may elect
some suitable person to fill the va.
cancy. The Mayor may discharge at
his "pleasure" the Ponndmaster, City
Engineer, Street Superintendent and
Auditor; with the consent of four
Councilmen, he may remove the Mar.
shall, Police Justice and members OF
the police force. If his appointment
be to fill vacancy in an elective of.
flee, the appointee, if confirmed by the
Council, holds Office until the next
regular election.
Another change made by the law,
concentrating still further power in
the hands OF the Mayor, is in regard to
his veto power. Under the old law
four Councilmen could pass an ordi-
nance over the Mayors veto. Under
the new law five members are required
to vote affirmatively for an ordinance
to pass it over the Mayors veto.
Another change made is &" No ordi-
nance and no resolution or order shall
have any validity or effect unless passed
by the votes OF at least four Council.

Polar Exploration.

Lieutenant Peary, in a late dis
cusslon Of the probabilities of reach
ing the North Pole, before the Ma.
tional Geographic Society OF Wash
lngton, said that there were only two
routes that gain any assurance of
practlcability. The one advocated by
him was the Smith Sound, or Ameri.
can route, along the west coast OF
Greenland, to the north of Kennedy
Sound, then to still higher latitude
then was reached by the Alert, off
Grant Island. Even by this route the
effort involves a long and tedious and
uncertain experience. He says that
probably for four or five years, ship
and people must be a helpless bit of
tiotsam, entirely at the mercy of the
ice in which they are drifting, depend.
ing upon advantageous circumstances
for speedy success to their mission.
There are two other theoretical routes,
but they involve these conditions with.
out the prospect Of overcoming more
than the 260 miles, all that remained
to complete Peary's former venture.
Lieutenant Peary said that the at.
tainment Of the South Pole, would be
much easier, as the journey can be
prosecuted at any season, and every
mile of advance permanently secured,
while, to reach the North Pole, re-
quires long journey without caches,
or support from the country, and to
cover the distance in three months OF
the favorable season. He thinks that
an expedition to the South Pole is a
matter only of time and patience,
while some degree of uncertainty adds
to the fascination of the greater
northward.
The Lieutenant asks for immediate
financial aid to undertake the project.
He Gays that $4,000 will probably be
required, under favorable conditions,
the main expenditure being for a
powerful ship to place him on the
northern shore of Grant Island.

clean is to partake of the chief at

that cold cream might be used as
remedy for that. In all ultimate and

we are no nearer results than when
the proposition was stated, and the
