BIVALVES ARE COSTLY

Freeze-up i'll Chesapeake Bay Bulls
Oyster Market.
Because the local supply of oysters
is rapidly going down while the east
ern bays, where oysters grow, are
rapidly freezing up, prices are
climbing in the local market. The
big freeze-up in Chesapeake bay last
week came at least thirty days before
schedule time and has paralyzed the
oyster industry. This condition has
had no effect on the appetite Of oyster
eaters, however, and that is why the
price went up 10 cents a gallon in the
twin cities yesterday, and will prob
ably be 35 cents higher before mex
week has come to a close. .:s.-.~ ~
A general advance in the retail anC
restaurant price Of oysters is there.

feeling at this time is representation
in congress, for which the people Of
Alaska are. earnestly working, is the
declaration Of James Wickersham,
federal judge of Alaska, who is in the
twin cities for a few days.
Next to representation the country
needs the establishment Of an Alaskan
court of appeals, and the building of a
national road from Valdes to Eagle
City.
Judge and Mrs. Wickersham are on
their way to Annapolis where they go
to be presnet at the graduation of
their son, now in the United States

~ Need of. Exits Emphasized.
The committee was practically united on
all Of these requirements, and greatly in
earnest upon the one last named, requiring
separate exits for separate portions of the
house. Even on ordinary occasions there
is much crowding and delay due sto the
fact that so large a proportion of the
audience is obliged to seek egress thru
a CONSTRUCTED passageway. and in event of
a fire such condition would greatly in
crease the tendency to panic.
1t is the opinion of the committee that
the international Auditorium should be
closed until the auditorium and the en-
frances and exits thereto have been en-
closed with fireproof walls. The risk of
fire in said building has been greatly in
creased by the manufacturing processes
introduced into the building.
The committee making these recon-
1nendations will continue it's work and will
be glad to cooperate with your honorable
Ebody in every manner to secure the best
results.
I am glad to say that all of the man
ayers show a willingness to meet promptly
/ all legal requirements to insure the safety
of their places and to protect the people.
I beg to assure you that I shall con

ficials to the end that all such require
1nents are promptly obeyed. I shall also
forthwith notify all of the managers to

days, and that upon failure to comply

recommend that you appoint specia

SILENT BRIDES OF KOREA.
Newly Made Husband May Not Hear

Here is a picture brought from the

much reason. look on the wedding day.

edged with deep white bands are much
larger than those worn across the

The headdreSS, q most important
part of the quaint outfit is peculiar to
Korean brides. Made of heavy cloth
carefully quilted and stiffened with a
sort of canvas lining. it covers all eX-

about a foot above the head. The
large wooden pins at the back hold
the headgear securely in place, the
ribbon falling over the left shoulder

Dressed in this costume the young
woman who, since her parents have ar
ranged all her marriage affairs, per-
haps never has seen her future hus-

ceremony which probably has no equal
for simplicity. At word from the
priest the contracting persons bow to
each other slowly and solemnly and
all is over! Then the bride goes home

An Early Numera1 System.

In paper read before the PhilOlOSi-
cal Society of the University of Michi-
gan recently, Professor George Hempl
commented upon the forerunners of
our present system of enumeration.
Some two years ago, in seeking the
origin of the Runic letters Ohe first
letters used by the Germanic races.
Professor Hempl discovered the primi-
tive Gernanic nume-al nOtations.
This threw new light upon the early
Germanic numerical system. as well as
upon the primitive European nu-
merical system. and upon the devel-
opment of the Greek alphabet. and the
Greek numerical notation.
The primitive 1ndo- European numer-
ical system was mixture of the deci-
NAL and the scxagesimal. The first
large number was the "hund," or ''hun-
dred," that Is 100. Between sixty and
1oO there We're no numbers like our
seventy, etc, seventy being "a shock
and ten" and eighty being "a shock
and twenty" The Introduction Of our
present numbers between sixty and
l2O arose out OF the introduction Of the
decimal hund or hundred. that is. 100,
In distinction from which the old 100

ton to the mans regular pay. This
premium is not confined to any race.
creed, or color. On one vessel in the
navy one of the gun-po;nters is a
negro.
Selecting gun-pointerS is one of the
most important duties in the navy.
Having selected the men for gun
pointers, the next step is to train them.
Two methods are now in vogue, both
having the same principle. but differ
ing in detail. In the old days of sails
and smOOth-bore guns, the invariable
rule-ard the only rule the gun-cap-
tainS knew-was this: Fire at the
top of the downward roll Gust as the
ship begins to roll toward the target.
and aim at the enemy's waterline."
This rule lasted far into the age of
steam and turret guns. and has only
recently been supplanted by ''continu-
Gus aim firing" or the art of keeping a
gun trained on the target regardless of
the oscillations of the vessel. during
the whole or a portion Of the roll.
