THE FLOTO SHOW
Good Clean Exhibition but Small
 Attendance.

The Floto shows have come and gone. They failed to do a very re- markable business here mainly for the reason that it is a new aggregation
 in these parts and therefore not well known, and for the further reason that it was not so large or extrava- gant an exhibition as some that have stopped in Phoenix in late years and which have come to be looked upon as the unit of measurement by the
 circus going public. No exception could be taken to the character of the show or the management. It was clean in every respect and most of the para phernalia, cages, etc, were new and bright in appearance. The afternoon performance was not largely attended, the county's five per cent of the gate receipts amounting to only $13. There was more than twice as large a crowd out in the evening though, the county's percentage being $27.
 The street parade was very satisfac- tory, its main feature being the num- erous Shetland ponies. Most of the cages and wagons were drawn by these little animals, there being but a few large horses in the aggregation. The exhibit of Shetlands though, pIOUdDly COulu HOl De DedlEH III any country and some of them were decid- edly the smallest ever seen here. The parade as a whole was in good keep ing with the show.
 The menagerie was good, but also rather limited. There were some inn mense lions and tigers. four elephants, two camels, and a lot of monkeys and some other interesting animals.
 The performance was quite enter taining, though the bewildering maze of the really big circus was not seen. There were some good trained animal stunts, ponies, dogs, monkeys, etc. and little good gymnastic work. The best feature of the programme was the Japanese athletes who tumbled and turned in a most remarkable manner, probably equaling anything that can be done anywhere. There were some good white acrobats also, and a num- Der of fun-making clowns. There was one side show of the usual circus pro- portions and merits and plenty of red lemonade, peanuts, popcorn, balloons, etc. Briefly, the Floto show is all right but it is young yet and needs to grow some.

handsomest imported gowns and hats. These come as narrow as half an inch and as wide as Is inches. The wider patterns are used for panels in skirts and blouse jackets, and the narrower ones on the collar and cuffs.
 A handsome navy blue broadcloth gown was trimmed with leather ap- plique of red morocco. The design was the Greek check, which was used around the collar. cuffs and the vest of the jacket and down the seams of the skirt. The effect was exceedingly smart
 Some patterns show maple leaves. which are tinted to give the autumn tones. A green gown had such a trimming appliqued about the flounces and put on the jacket ziz-zag to give the broad d-shouldered effect. girdle of the applique was made to match the rest of the costume.
 An adjustable cuff and cape set, suitable to wear with nearly any gown, was made of cream broadcloth. The trimming was of cream leather ap- plique, tinted green and red. The cuffs were of the flaring kind which turned back broad and deep. A gold cord finished the edges of both the cape and cuffs

Pig skin of a deep cream is especially de- sirable for such effects Chamois s1s also beautiful on pale blue, pink and even navy blue.

nounced fad for real feathers, the soft CT and more pliable they are the bet ter as they can be manipulated more easily, and do not add so much to the weight of the garment. Hence the popularity of suede.
 One of the handsomest leather ap- pliques is of suede in roseleaf design, showing roses and buds of leather ap- pliqued between the leaves. This trimming comes in pieces for the waist and skirt, on the order of medallions. Real medallions of leather are used with some delicate color underneath. A brown gown, for instance, was trimmed with pigskin medallions, which showed a. deep orange silk through the perforations.
 Leather applique is only appropriate for tailor-made costumes. It is most desirable for children's garments, as it is artistic and wears well. It is es- pecially good for coats and capes. cloth is the smartest trimming of the kind seen.
 The realm of household art has also been invaded by the leather craze. Portieres of velour or art cloth, ap- pliqued with deep bands of leather, are offered for a mans den. Brown or green is striking, and gives character to a room. Den chairs, upholstered in velour, with leather applique, are popular, as are also couch covers, sofa pillows, table spreads and other house furnishings.
 A piano scarf recently seen is a good example of what can be done with leather applique. This scarf was of green leather, which had a slashed fringe, showing two shades of green. The cover itself was appliqued with a light green leather, which showed the dark tints through the applique. The latter was securely glued to the foun- dation.

HIS OPINION OF GIRLS.

 As his prize essay he presents the following gem, which he claims to be ..n essay on Girls from a boy of F years:
 Girls are very stuckup and dignefied in their manner and behaveyour. They think more of dress than anything, and like to play with douls and rags. They cry if they see a COW in afaf distance ways sick
 and are afraid of guns. They stay at home all the time and go to church

WILL SOON MAKE TRIAL.
Lewiston Mans Flying Machine Near
!y Completed.

The flying machine now under
course of construction by First Officer
Winslow. of the steamer Spokane, is
nearing completion and Will be ready
for the trial trip in about a week. Mr..
Winslow states that he expected to
make the trial flight on July 4th. but
as a great deal of work remained to
be done to the steering apparatus, it
cannot be definitely determined when
the machine will be completed. Dur
ing the past few days Mr.. WinslOW
has attached the bicycle for prOpelling
and steering purposes, and final work
will be carried forward as rapidly as
possible. The wings have been greatly
enlarged since the machine was placed
in the Riparia wharf boat. The first
trial will be made from the Riparia
hills. After the test trip the machine
works we'll a flight will be made from
the Uniontown hills across the Snake
river to the Charleston fiat. The ma
chine has been examined by engineers
and mechanics and has been prOnounc-
ed a practical invention. The trial
trip will be watched with much IN
terest by the members of the Spokane
crew who have assisted in the con-
struction of the strange craft under
slow. The members of the crew have
full confidence in the machine being
able to successfully soar through the
air and expect to be able to announce
a test for Lewiston within a short
time.

BOARD OF HIGHER EDUCATION.
Several High Schools Added to Ac-
credited List.

At meeting of the state board OF
higher education held in Seattle yes
terday the high schools of Kent. Port
Angeles. La Conner, Davenport and
Colfax were added to the accredited
schools. The complete list is as fol-
lows:
Aberdeen, Ballard. Centralia, Che
halls, COlfax Davenport, Kent, Bel
lingham, Everett, Seattle, La Conner,
Port Townsend, Port Angeles, Ia
coma, Puyallup, Vancouver, North
Yakima. Walla Walla, Waterville,
Snohomish, Olympia, Dayton and Spo-
kane:
One year ago the state board of
higher education passed a regulation
which provided that all high school
graduates after July. 1904, must pre-
sent certain credits in required sub
jects for unconditional admission into
the advance courses of the normal
schools
At it's meeting yesterday the board
postponed the operation of this re-
quirement until July, 1905. The effect
of this postponement is that graduates
of accredited high schools may enter
the normal schools next September
without being required to present
credits in any prescribed subjects.
This postponement was made owing
to the fact that new courses of study
will be prepared by the state board for
the high schools of the state during the
coming year

to Law.

action against O. n. Preston and a
number of farmers to recover damages
aI,ae-ed TO have been incurred by inter-
fering with the plaintiffs bitches.
The plaintiff alleges malicious and
obstructive interference on the part
of the plaintiffs with bitches, head
gates. weirs and fumes and asks for
$1,000 damages against the defendants
and an Injunction TO stop them. The
nlaintiffs simply claim as a sort of
rablttal that the company is depriv-
ing them of rights which belong to
them and which We're acquired long
before the company was organized.
