EIGHTEEN WERE DROWNED
THE BARK PRINCE ARTHUR
WENT DOWN.
All But Two of the Crew Went Down
The Disaster Occurred on the
Rocky Coast South of Cape Flat.
tery-The Arthur Was Built of Iron
and Was Bound for 8. c. to Load.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. S.-A special
from ron IownseAu, Wash, says:
News VI the wreck vi the norwegian
Dark Prince arthur has been received.
Inc Prince Arthur WAS bound from
valparaiso Tor British Columbia to
load LUMBER. On the night OF January
the vessel ran into breakers and was
soon hard and fast on the rocky shore.
fhe scene OF the disaster is about two
miles south OF Ozette. on the Wash
ington coast, Is miles from cape Flat
terry. This Is practically the position
in which the German bark Flotbek
was rescued by tugs in the winter OF
1900. AS the Umatilla, the lightship,
lies about 50 miles off shore from
Ozette, it is believed the master mis-
took the lightship for Tatoosh island
and sailed eastward, believing that he
was entering the straights instead Of
running blindly to his fate.
OF the 20 members of the Prince Ar.
thurs crew only two were saved, and
they were nearly exhausted when they
washed ashore. The bodies of Is
drowned seamen are being buried by
ranchers and Indians living near the
scene of the disaster as they come
ashore.
Although Ozette is but 10 miles from
Neah Bay, news of the wreck was re-
ceived by way of East Clallam, hav-
ing been brought out by mail carrier
over rs mile trail. Owing to the mac
cessible location of Ozette, only meag
err details are obtainable.
The Prince Arthur was an iron bark
OF 1898 tons net, built at Birkenhead
in 1869. She was formerly called the
Houghtonhead.

Art Of GETTING Sleep


All conditions must be favorable to
sleep. The bedroom should be quiet,
dark and airy. In winter it is better
to have the window away up than to
shut 1t so that knife-edged draught
shall chill an exposed shoulder. The
temperature of the bed should be
agreeable Getting to sleep when the
feet are cold is as slow a job as get
ting to sleep when hungry. A hot
water bottle in one case and a piece
of bread and butter in the other will
help things. l leave 1t to you to de-
eide which is for which. A warm
bed in winter is easily got, but cool
bed in summer is not so simple a
proposition. However, a sheet made
of straw mating, interposed between
the regular sheet and the mattress,
will be found to mitigate sensibly the
horrors of a hot night. 1t preserves
the softness and springiness of the
bed, and yet is pleasantly cool. Per-
sonally, l find that sleep comes soon
est when l have no pillows at all.
The next thing is to relax utterly.
Remember that the corner of the
Jaw is the citadel of tension. While
that Is clinched no sleep can come.
But most important of all is the dis
position of the mind so that sleep can
come. The reason why we fail In
this is the same as the reason why we
fail in other things. We do not very
genuinely want to succeed.-Every-
body's Magazine.

PREVALENCE Ut CATARRH
Growing Use of HyOmei Will Soon Show a
Decrease Of this Disease.

Statistics show that at least o. out
of every 100 persons in this State are
suffering from catarrh in some form.
While the disease is one of the most
common with which the medical pro-
fession has to contend, it also is one
of the most dangerous. This is owing
to its tendency to affect the bronchial
tubes, causing consumption and other
diseases of the respiratory organs.
The discovery of Hyomei and its in
creased use has already reduced the
percentage of persons suffering from
catarrh. This wonderful remedy is
the simplest and most pleasant of all
treatments. Just put little Hyomei
in the pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit, breathe through the in
haler for ten minutes four times a
day. Relief will be seen from the
first treatment; cure will soon follow.
1t is the true treatment for diseases
Of the respiratory organs.
Scientific and medical men recon-
mend it. Leading druggists have so
much faith in it that they guarantee
a cure or they will refund the money.
In this city Feldmeyer Brothers are
selling it upon that plan, so that any
Of our readers can use Hyomei with
out its costing them a cent unless 1T
cures. Can there be fairer wayY

WOMEN RARELY sTuTTeR.
They Are Less seIf-conscIous, 81
They Blush Instead.

They Are Less SeIf-Conscious, So
They Blush Instead.
Have you ever known a woman that
stammered?
The fact that the proportion Of
those afflicted with stammering or
suffering is one hundred men to one
woman is one of the most curious
things in the science OF pathology.
Even the specialists in nervous dis
eases seem utterly at loss to account
for it. So eminent an authority as
Dr. George r. Shrady, the editor OF
the Medical Record. says that in all
his experience he has known of only
one woman that stammered. Asked
how he accounted for the immunity
of the fair sex from this affiiction,
he replied:
1T certainly is a strange thing.
Stammering is an epileptic affection
Of the organs of speech, and the vic
tim Is usually a person of high
strung, excitable temperament. At
the last analysis the cause lies in the
mind-that Is, the stammerer STAN
mers because he fears he will STAN
mer. and thus make himself ridicu-
lous. Now, women are much more
prone than men to nervous disorders,
and this makes their immunity from
stammering all the more remarkable.
For some mysterious reason their
nervousness affects their organs of
speech only in the rarest Of In
stances"
A mere man, in discussing woman's
immunity from stammering, was I'M
gallant enough to suggest that any
interference with her ability to talk
would be cruel and unusual punish
ment within the meaning of the con-
stitutioa of the United States, and,
therefore, a punishment never to be
inflicted by a beneficient providence.
The theory also has been advanced
that women are less self-conscious
than men, for IL is asserted that self
consciousness is the basis of the con-
fusion of the stammerer. When the
attention of a lifelong sufferer from
hating articulation was called to DR..
Shrady's statement that the STAN
merer stammers through fear of STAN
mering, he replied:
THAT is it exactly. One of my
earliest recollections is of being
laughed at by two of my aunts when
| got badly twisted in trying to make
q remark Ever since then the fear
of stammering has haunted me to
greater or less degree Now, it has
been my experience that women sell
dom suffer from selfconsciousness to
this extent. l do not mean to say that
all women are totally void of self
consciousness. l have known girls
who were victims of the blushing
habit, and, as my kindred affliction
enabled me to speak to them about
1t, l discovered that they blushed for
the same reason that | stammered-
fear of doing so."-Chicago Tribune.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when tits entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an intlamed condi-
ton of the mucous services.
