PALA INDIANS RESUME WORK
Strike Against Lower Wages Has
 Been Ended

San Diego-Frank Salmons, the post trader at the Pala Indian reserva- tion, where the Indians have been on strike for two months, brings in the report that they have returned to work once more under the direction of Agent Shell, who has recently taken charge for the government.
 The Indians struck because they had not been paid for the work they had done in July and August and be- cause orders came from Washington to cut their wages to SIP per day and to stop distributing rations. They could not understand the red tape delay of getting thier money and expressed their displeasure in the manner most natural to them.
 Agent Shell, who has taken charge of that portion of Agent Wright's district lying south of Temecula, has funds at his disposal for the payment of future work, but the July and August payrolls will have to hold over until Agent Wright can square them.
 Salmons laughs at the idea that either Shell or anyon. else at the reservation is afraid of the Indians.

Big Gun Shakes Things

San Francisco-The concussion caused by the discharge of the twelve inch gun on Angel Island, which was fired by the artillerymen in practice, sha ttered windows in Sausalito, shook houses, knocked down plaster and caused much excitement among the people. The Presidio also was we'll shaken. The concusison by the heavy gun made the general hospital feel unsafe for few minutes so violently was it rocked.

Treaty Devoid of Restrictions

The state department has received a caplegram from Minister Beaupre at Bogota, dated September 30 and stat ing that the report of the committee of the Colombian senate will be pre- sented in short time. The report approves the proposal to enact law to empower the president to open negotiations for the construction of the canal under certain specified con- ditions. The object, the cablegram states, apparently is to leave the Colombian government at liberty to negotiate fresh treaty without re- strictions. It seems, says Minister Beaupre, that the report will be adopted. Il,

HOW STARS ARE MADE
Result of Observation at the Lick
 Observatory

University of California-Through observations now in progress at the Lick observatory, the astronomers have determined something of the process by which stars are created. The Crossley reflector was trained upon what was called navoae or new stars, and their spectroscopic varia- tions carefully studied. Nova Aurigae, Nova Preset and Nova Geminorum were observed in July, August and September, 1903, and it was found that the spectrum of each had changed decidedly since the last previous observations.
 Nova Geminorum, twin, star and the most recent arrival in the heavens, semes now to have reached nebular state. The spectra of Nova Aurigae and Nova Persei indicate gradual transition from the nebula to the ordi- nary stellar type.

INVASION OF SAN SALVADOR
GUATEMALA PLANS TO ATTACK
 NEIGHB0R AT ONCE
Expedition Expected to Begin Hostile Move Without Delay-An Effort to Enlist the Aid of Honduras Government

New Orleans-According to inform ation received in this city plan to invade San Salvador has been under consideration for some time lby Presi- dent Manuel Estrada Cabrera oe Guatemala, who in pursuit of this idea endeavored to enlist the aid of the Hondurean government in war. Honduras lies on the south and east of Guatemala on the north. ano an ex- petition from each of these countries would catch San Salvador between two fires and place the republic in an interesting predicament.
 According to the plans it was inc tended that Guatemala was to have moved on San Salvador at the close of the rainy season, which would have made the date for the move some time this month. However, the con templated combine with Honduras appears to have fallen through owing to the refusal of the president of that republic to join hands with Guate- mala in the attempt. The project has by no means been abandoned by Presi- dent Cabrera of Guatemala, and con- sequently news of an expedition is momentarily expected.
 San Salvador is more closely con- nected with Guatemala than any other Central American colony, and is most easily reached by troops, thus making it the natural objective point for expeditions from that country. Honduras is separated from Guate- mala by range of mountains, which would render the transport of soldiers matter attended by much difficulty, but in the case of San Salvador only tableland about thirty miles in width separates the two countries. It is possible to travel in day on horse- back from the capital of Guatemala into Salvadorian territory, and there would be no trouble attendant upon the entrance of an army into the latter republic.
 President Cabrera of Guatemala has from time to time massed troops on the frontier of the two countries. Atone time, it is understood, he had IA, GOO troops camped on the frontier, and at the present moment it is esti- mated that there are from 6000 to 1000 soldiers located at various points. The reasons for the contemplated invasion of San Salvador are numer- ous and largely concern the internal affairs of Guatemala. The incumbent of the presidency is one of the most unpopular of Central American presi- dents.

The stream is very wise provision of nature and serves as the confirmation of the exist ence of that Higher Intelligence which has fashioned this and all the other worlds.
 The Gulf Stream flows from the Gulf of Mexico. on the coast of America. It di- vides into two currents, one of which flows toward the northwestern shores of Europe and by its warmth greatly modi- hes the severity of winter. The Gulf Stream does not determine the weather as a primary principle: but, owing to it's caloric or warm temperature, the heat which rises therefrom may. and no doubt does, have considerable influence in soft ening the hardness of the cold winter months in this part of the world.
 Characteristics of the Current.
 What are the clements of the Gulf Stream and the characteristics of the cur rent? There is in the world no other such majestic flow of waters. Its current is
 
 Amazon and it's volume more than a thou sand times greater. Its waters, as far out from the Gulf of Mexico as the Carolina coast are of indigo blue and so distinctly marked is the current that its line of junction with the common sea water may be traced by the eye.
 It is quite common occurrence for an observer to see half vessel floating in the Gulf Stream while the other half is in the common water of the sea, so sharp Is the line, and such the want of affinity between those waters. and such. too. the reluctance, so to speak. on the part of the Gulf Stream to mingle with the waters of the ordinary sea.

The most furious gales of wind sveep along with 1t; and the great foss of New- foundland, which so endanger navaRa- ton in spring and summer, doubtless owe their existence to the presence, in that cold sea, of warm water brought by the Gulf Stream
 Sir Philip Brooke found the temperature or the air on each side of it at the freez- ing point, whilst that of its middle waters was sO degrees, and the heavy, warm, damp air over the curernt produced great irregularities in his chronometers. With such an element of atmospherical disturb ance in its bosom we might expect at all times storms of the most violent kind to accompany it in it's course. Accordingly the most terrific that rage on the ocean have been known to spend their fury within or near it's borders
 Several years ago the British admiralty set on foot inquiries as to the course of the storms in certain parts of the Atlan- tic, which so often rage with disastrous effects to navigation. The result may be summed up in the conclusion to which the investigations led-that they were, and are now, occasioned by the irregularity between the temperatures of the Gulf Stream and of the neighboring regions, both in the air and water. The habitual dampness of the climate of the British Isles is attributable to the Gulf Stream in the opinion of many meteorologists and others I have already pointed out that what is the cause of the Gulf Stream Is mystery; but. like electricity, though we do not know what it is, yet its agen- cies and influences have been defined by scientists and worked out by known and admitted laws of physics

Medical Defense of corsets.

Medical Press and Courier.
 The use of the corset is to transmit the pressure of the skirt bands to the hips and the ribs, and so to protect from their pressure the organs in the region of the waist. The conclusion is that so long as skirt bands are fastened around the waist corsets should be worn. They should be stiffer than usually made if they are eff fectively to protect the soft, middle DOT ton of the body from the pressure of the waistband. The front should be quite straight and the waist measurement should be at least as large as the wearer's waist measured over single, soft gar ment. The abuse of the article consists in employing it as means of compress ing that which it was meant to protect from compressing. namely. the soft. mid dle portion of the body. Fashion in cor sets has of late made motion in the right direction in the straight. stiff front.
