as q distinct breed IN the slsle of Man
than in Cornwall, the predominance
Of the common tailed cat being, Of
course, aided in the latter district BY
the fact that, although remote, 1t ,is
part Of the mainland Of England,
whereas new cats could be carried to
the Isle of Man only by sea. The
Manx cat which first attracted mod.
ern attention was a very different
animal from thee .variously col
ored specimens which now take prizes
at cat shows. 1t was always of the
color of a hare and had fur like a
hare. Like hare, too, 1t always
moved its hind legs together. Its
Chief food was crabs caught on the
beach and when transported inland
from the seacoasts it very seldom, II
ever, survived long. No cat of this
kind has been seen for many years
In the Isle of Man, though there are
plenty of tailless cats, its crossed de-
scendants, 10 be purchased there.
Wherever it originally came from, the
Cornish or, Manx cat was more nearly
a separate species than any kind Of
show cat now existing. 1t was sea.
coast animal. with fur, color. absence
Of tail and method Of locomotion OBJ
viously adapted by the inheritance Of
ages to Its habit of catching crabs and
other small life behind the ebbing tide.

sides of great hall. Three only opened

Rob was not slow in obeying the
captain, and after bathing his aching

He was weary enough to sleep. not

 The council were all present at the meeting except Mayor Keller and John Kalem. W. B. King was in the chair.
 The committee on fire and water asked for more time on the franchise question. It has made a formal re- quest Co see the franchise claimed by 'tEe water company.

IN AIR
The Registration Ordinance
 Must Wait

City Attorney Jennings has reported to the city council that he Is doubtful about the authority of the council to pass an ordinance requiring the regis tration of voters. He thinks it might be in violation of the law of congress which provides what the qualifications of voters shall be. Congress has pro vided that an American citizen, or one who has declared his intention to be- come such, who has resided in Alaska the necessary length of time shall vote. The question is as to whether the city council can come iu and require another qualification that he shall have previously regis tered. The law provides that the city council can make all rules and regula- tions for the conduct Of elections but Mir. Jennings is doubtful if registration comes within the meaning Of that sec ton of the statute. He will further investigate.
 Other city attorneys in Skagway and other Alaskan towns have held that the council could not require registra-
 ton.
