CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
With the exception of few cases oi
mild scarlatina, the city has been free
from contagion during the year just
closed; eight cases of smallpox came
here from abroad and were taken to
the pesthouse for treatment; they all
recovered, however, and owing to the
system adopted of thorough isolation,
fumigation and disinfection, and the
very efficient services OF Chief Savidge,
in no instance was the disease trans
mitted to any OF our citizens, The
Chief also removed, as far as possible,
every nuisance brought to the atten.
ton of the Board Of Health, that
might in any way breed disease.
Twenty.three OF the deaths reported
were from st. Peters hospital, twelve
of whom we're from places outside and
are not credited to the city in this re.
port. When We consider the large
number of patients treated annually
at the above institution, many oi
whom had to be booked as hopeless on
entrance, the results are very satisfac.
tory and 60 to prove that st. Peters
is one Of the most successfully managed
hospitals in this or any other State.
Respectfully,
r. KINCAID,
Health Officer.

OlYMPiA'S HEALTH RECORD.

Best.

Olympia has always been noted for
the health OF her inhabitants, a com.
parison OF the death-rate showing the
least of any community in the United
States. That she has not lost that
record is shown by the annual report
made by Health Officer. Kincaid to
the City Council Monday night.
OLYMPIA, WASH, Jan. l, 1908.
To the Honorable Board of Health,
Olympia, Washington:

comparatively free from contagion
and epidemics during the past year.

The "Crv" of Silk,

One of the most peculiar features
about manufactured silk is the rustling
sound familiar to every woman. In
the silk trade they call it the cry" OF
sometimes the "scroop." OF all
textiles silk is the only material which
possesses it.
As everybody knows, the sound is
heard especially when silk is subjected
to friction. What is not so generally
known is that the quality is found in
silk yarn before it is woven. A skein
of silk, unless it has been so treated as
to kill this property in it, will when
opened up emit the noise slightly.
When the skein is squeezed in the
hand, the sound becomes quite audi.
BILE.
The" cry" is considered very de.
sirable quality in silk. Dyers try to
develop it as much as possible.

RACE OF BLACK JEWS.
ENGLISH EXPLORER REPORTS A
STRANGE STORY.

jewish newspapers IN London Prints Details
Of an Alleged Discovery Of q Tribe Of
CoIored Hebrews. Who Make Sacrifices Of
Burnt Offerings and Conform to Many Of
the Ancient Mosaic Rishts-nold AIoof
From Other Natives.
The current number OF the Jewish
Chronicle, the most influential organ
of the race in England, publishes an
amusing account by Sidney Klein Of
the discovery OF tribe OF black Jews
in the interior OF western Australia.
Klein ia a London Jew, who emf.
grated some years ago to western Aus.
tralia and engaged in business. From
there he went to Coolgardie and after
wards, with eleven others, explored the
interior OF the country as a govern
ment expedition to report on its re-.
sources.
At the farthest point reached, about
a thousand miles beyond the Leopold
range, they came upon a new tribe Of
blacks. The difference between them
and the other tribes was marked. They
received the travellers Hospitality and
offered them wild apples and goats
milk. Their habits were remarkably
clean and they were taller than the
other tribes.
The tribe had place of worship
made Of timber and bushes, and at
one end there were two tablets, which
they appeared 10 prize greatly. They
made burnt offerings of goats and
birds, but never hunted food on Sat-
urdays, which they observed as sacred
holiday, when they conducted their
religious exercises.
Although pigs ran wild, they did
not partake OF the flesh OF swine, and
ate only fish having fins and scales.
Their laws and prayers seem to have
been handed down from generation to
generation.
Mr.. Klein showed them q Hebrew
prayer book, word or two oi which
they understood. One old man said
it was an extinct language which
their forefathers used to speak. He
could read parts of it.
The men Of this peculiar tribe mar
ried only women of their own race,
and kept strictly aloof from the other
blacks. In Mr.. Kline's opinion they
were undoubtedly Jews.
On his return Mr.. Klein was offered
several hundred dollars by Christian
missionary to conduct him to the spot.
but, in view OF the many dangers, he
refused to undertake the task.
The Jewish Chronicle thinks Klein's
narrative must be regarded as
wanting confirmation. Other colon
lists who have been in the country say
there is no tribe that is acquainted
with the art of reading and writing.
They are also skeptical in regard to
the presence in the territory men,
toned OF wild apples, pigs and goats.
Klein gave his remarkable account in
letter to his parents.

A Marvellous Watch.

One of the most wonderful watches
in the world is that owned and made
by Major Doping -Hepenstal of the
royal engineers. 1t is comparatively
small watch, not much bigger than an
ordinary lever, but it performs o varie.
ty OF services in addition to telling the
time. It rings an alarm.bell in the
morning to wake its owner, then il
proceeds to light a spirit lamp and
boil kettle of water and finally pours
the boiling water into q small teapot
The Prince of Wales witnessed the
wonderful performances of this watch
and partook of cup OF tea which il

LIFE GUARD DROWNED IN SURF
Captain Lake, Of Atlantic CRY Tried
20 save Bows In prlftlnn ski.


Atlantic City. y. J.. Aug Captain
Charles J. Lake. the first man sp-
pointed here az a paid life guard and
the chief Of the beaeh patrol, died like
hero in the surf seeking TO rescue
two boys, whose skin had gone adrift.
The drowning occurred Ia front OF the
Royal Palace Hotel and was witnessed
by hundreds The body has not been
recovered. He was walking along the
beach when two boys in their bathing
suits came along and told the captain
tn1' they We're going ont TO the bar
in a skin. Soon afterwards the crowds
on the beach saw the boys row out to
the bar and jump on of their boat. 4
big wave sent the skin adrift and the
boys ran after IT, clambering over the
sides. Another high wave washed the
oars adrift, leaving them helpless.
Seeing the danger Of the boys, Cap
tain Lake swan ont to sea and was
almost within reach OF the boat, when
he threw up his hands and went be-
Meath the waves. A surf boat manned
by two guards had put ont to the res
cue Of the boys also and the skin was
picked up and brought ashore. Search
for the body of the drowned man was
then instituted, but without success.
Captain Lake had been captain OF the
beach patrol for five years He had
seen continuous service on the beach
every summer ever since 1891. He
leaves a wife, a son and daughter. His
record for rescues is a long one, he
having saved scores Of persons during
his term of service.
