STORIES OF THE
GERMAN EMPEROR

Perceval Gibbons in London Daily Mail.
Princes will be Princes, it seems, and
there have been times when the Kaiser
has had to talk like father to his
ofe@pring. There is a delicious story of
one wigging which he administered
to them which the Court is still chuck
ling over.
Never forget" he said solemniy, as
they stood in attention before him,
that you are Hohenzollerns and sons
of the Kaiser of Germany. But you"
he added, turning upon one who shall
not be OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES remember
that I have my eye on YOU
In person the Kaiser is a ford man
of barely middle height, with a full face
fieshy neck and a noticeable general
plumpness. On foot, especially when in
one of his two score uniforms, he is less
regal than engaging; on horseback he
is quite fine figure of man. Although
his horses are specially broken and
trained for his use, ne has good work
ing seat in the saddle. TO see him go
past a saluting base at the rocking
chair canter the German cavalry af-
fects is to see good type of a military
looking man: he could pass in a crowd
for well-to-do Major without ambi-
tions. In spite of his growing stoutness,
he takes a good deal of exercise. In
particular he shoots, and he issues to
the chase with not much less circum-
stance than the Duke in Browning $
Flight of the Duchess"

him no less dutiful to his ruler than
to the craft he knows so thoroughly. He
read the effort, and found his dual
duties in conflict. One has the tenderest
sympathy for that critic; he had to adj

tional power for resentfng hostile COM

the exigeneies of the situation.

PENINSULA BEING ELEVATED.

'"There can be but little dOubt," says writer, 'that the whole peninsular portion of Alaska west of the l50th degree of longi tude, is undergoing gradual elevation" He then goes on to say that this elevation is occasionally accelerated by volcanic action in localities of limited extent. A single in stance is known in Chalmers bay, Prince William sound, of subsistence of a low point formerly covered with trees, whose stumps are now far below the lowest tide level. But this, perhaps, may be regarded as a merely local phenomenon. The coast of Eastern Siberia is also undergoing eleva- tiOn.
 The facts in support of the above hy pothesis are many. Right here on Seward peninsula the shores are yearly strewn with drift wood, often piled in winrows, by the fall storms and derived originally from the spring freshetS of the Yukon and KuSkO kwim Far above the level which the most severe storms and the highest tides now at tain, lie, or used to lie, regular rows of wood, much decayed, but still preserving it's shape, and evidently brought there by the waves. In the mouth of the canal, or passage be- tween St. Michael and the mainland, not far from the town lie cluster of basaltic rocks, full of cavities. The upper portion of these rocks is at least fifteen or twenty feet above the level of high water, and little grass grows there, but in the cavities can still be found, in place, portions of the shelly covering of species of barnacle which must have lived there when daily covered by the tide The Hanks of the Aleutian islands, in many localities, bear nearly horizontal ter tiary strata which contain fossil shells, undoubtedly identical as to species with liv ing forms now abundant in the waters which surround them, showing that they have been elevated within comparatively short (geo- logicaD time.
 Should the elevation of the land and the annual deposition of earthly material con- tinue, geologically the time is not far dis tant when great part of Boring sea may

UNTIL THE CRACK O. DOOM.

When justice and equity prevail over the world lawyers will not be needed, nor will courts of law be known But that time will never come, that is to say as long as the world endures and men have woes Some where or other we have read of a worldly millennium to come where all wrongs under which men grOan and suffer will be righted and peace and righteousness will be uni versal. This good time may come. but we venture the statement that it will not make it's appearance until most men have been born again, several times over. In the meantime it is for us who happen to be of those who make up the world to ''make the best of it." But there's the rub, How many of us do really and truly try to make the best of it? No incOnsiderable portion try to make the very worst of it. Man lifts up himself against his fellow man, and nation exerts itself against nation. Instead of beating swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks, they mortgage the farm to buy new and improved weapons of offense and defense. A man lies awake O'nightS devising ways and means to get the better of his neighbOr, and his prototype, the nation, seeks out some cause of Ofense against a less powerful neighbor and pro- ceeds to despoil him.
 Very few signs of an approaching mil lenium in those methods of procedure ! Each generation grows weaker and wiser, it is said, but we do not believe it. Men are pretty much the same today as they were centuries ago; they have sought out many new inventions, have risen as whole class to higher levels, yet the "wisdOm of the ages" is not concentrated in the present. Men covet their neighbors placer claim to- day as they coveted their neighbor's plot of ground in the Promised Land thousands of years ago. "CurSed be he who remOveth his neighbors landmark was written in the Pentateuch, and does not the same curse still remain for him who "pulls up' his neighbours stakes on twenty acre plot of gold bearing ground in frozen Northwestern Alaska?
 It's of little use prOnouncing new curses, for there are no new crimes. The old curses will apply with the utmost particularly. Removing landmarks and jumping claims will last, as we said at the beginning, until all men become righteous. And this will never be- Lawyers will be a necessity and as the sun and the moon and the stars en- dure Let us contemplate it with equa nimity.

THE PRESIDENTIAL TERM.

The present is the ''long session" of Congress besides it is a ''presidential year," and the august body which is called next probably, enacting laws, doing politics and the people. A 'presidential year. is not looked upon with favor by the majority of business men. It upsets conditions, and trade suffers in consequence. 1t creates un- certainty. Political struggles always do, and yet with the experience this nation has bought and paid for a presidential election should be taken as matter of course, and 'business that comprehensive quantity should pursue the even tenor of it's way. But it will not. It never does. There are too many men with their hands on the com mercial lever, ever ready to twist it to their own profit. A fall in stocks means ruin to many, but it helps others A rise makes millionaires out of paupers who are pro- fessional and skilful spectators.
 Because business conditions are upset every four years in this country of ours there are many who contend that the term of the president should be increased to seven or eight years. We do not propose to dis cuss at length the advisability of such change Indeed, we feel inclined to depre- recate it. Our government is stable it's in stitutions are firmly grounded. The defeat of one party and the ascendancy of another will not imperil either the safety or welfare of the nation. Strip "business' of political chicanery and dishonest manipulation, leave out of it altogether the question of ''poli- tics," and it will make very little difference to the country at large whether a presiden tial election is ''pulled off every four, seven or eight years.

THE ORIGIN OF THE MAMMOTH.

Geologists and other scientific men state that at the commencement of the cold period in the northern regions of America. Europe and Asia (for which change in temperature, we stated in recent editorial article. science has found no satisfactory solution) huge ami mals, covered with hair to resist the severe temperature, sprung into being. The clc- phant roamed over the tundras of North America and Asia. Later the reindeer and musk FOX followed the arctic vegetation as it spread southward. The northeastern DOT tion of the United States was covered, as Greenland is now, with nearly if not quite continuous glacier sheet. This "general' ice sheet extended to Siberia. Alaska. or the entire west coast of America.
 The causes which produced the extinc- tion of the elephant are unknown. It is more probable that it was due rather to the increased cold of the climate beyond what they were fitted to endure than a change for the warmer, as has been suggested by some authors In the latter case migration to the northward would have been open to them, and they would hardly be found pre- served entire in masses of ice, as has been the case in Siberia. It is probable that the muSk-OX and reindeer were long pOSterOr to the elephant in their appearance on the earth In the Yukon valley the remains of the elephant are everywhere found on the surface, except where buried by the action of water: yet they are thoroughly fossilzed and destitute of animal matter, except in the very interior of the tusks. On the other similar localities often preserve an animal OdOr, and sometimes even slight remnants of the snews
 During the period of most intense cold large glaciers were formed in the gorges and ravines of the Coast ranges. As the size and most of the more southern glaciers disappeared entirely.
 For opportunities of studying the phe- nomena of glaciatiOn, American students need not turn to the Alps From Butte inlet to Unimak pass almost every deep gorge of considerable size between the high noun tains, for which this coast is so remarkable. has at its head glacier or the remains of one. Some of these glaciers are of extra ordinary size and grandeur. The ice, broken from their Overhanging nominations, has given rise to such names as Icy strait and by the adherent mud and stones have, in several instances, been taken for permanent rocks by the earlier navigators

THE NATION IS PROSPEROUS.

The advent of a new year may possibly call for a review of the happenings of the year closed, as well as such retrospective and interpretive speculatons as may be deemed necessary. Isolated, however, as are we who dwell in this far northland necessarily it is well nigh impossible to give anything like a complete resume of the worlds more mOmentous happenings, or the progress made in all the various lines of human endeavOr. It will only be repeat ing a trite saying when we state that during the year 1903 the United States continued it's unparalleled record in everything that goes to make a nation great and it's people respected. The nation has been doing this self-same thing for nearly 12S years. It has grown with a rapidity that has aston ished the nations of the old world, who, less than forty years ago, still looked upon the great republic of the west as a mere expert ment. But they no longer so view it..
 In recent years we have departed from all the traditions of the past and have em- parked on new and to Us, untried paths. We are no longer the dominant power of the western hemisphere. We have passed that stage, and to being the dominant power of the great and bOundless west, we have the added distinction of being in the fore most rank of the worlds great powers. Indeed it would not be immOdest to claim the distinction of being ''the'' worlds great power, inasmuch as our government would survive and our people still have measure of prosperity were we shut out from any participation in the commercial affairs of the world, so great are our resources.
 But we are not likely to be excluded from the Congress of nations, not because we are so we'll beloved, but because we are necessary to the rest of the world and we have become so powerful and rich in all that goes toward making a nation great, that hereafter the United States will be felt in the history making of not only the new world, but the old-to it's remotest bounds
 What the end may be we do not know. We have embarked on the new course whether wisely or not time alone will deter mine. It is the opinion of many men in close touch with the affairs of men and na- tions that the present year will prove a critical time, not only for our own nation, but for several of the European powers, as well. However, come what may, there is nothing on the horizon which augurs any real danger to this republic. It's institu- tiOns have stood the test of time, and every vicisstude that time could bring. As a result the nation has grown stronger, not weaker it's people have an abiding faith in it's institutions, are loyal and patriotc to a greater degree than those of any other na- tion on earth. And as long as this is the case the republic will endure When wrong policies are being pursued to the detriment of the nations welfare, a halt will be called
