MAY INHERIT CLAIMS
TO HIS OWN THRNNE

The present king of Spain is credited
with being a weakly YOUTH yet it is by no
means impossible that he may live long
enough to actually inherit the claims to
his own throne which have been made by
hostile kinsmen
Through his late grandfather, Don Fran
cisco d Assist, the cousin and husband of
Queen Isabella, Alfonso XIII may become
heir to Don Carlos.
Francisco d'Assisi was not only king
consort, but an infant of Spain in his own
right, and nephew of the original Don
Carlos, who unsuccessfully contested Isa-
bella's sovereignty 50 many years ago.

NAME OF VESSEL
WILL BIZ CHANGED

In a very short time the officers Of the
Alaska Pacific Navigation company will
change the name of the steamship James
Dollar to the Santa Clara The vessel
was formerly the John S. Kimball. but
was renamed the James Dollar after being
placed ON the Soattle-San Francisco run
About two months ago the Dollar was
purchased by her present owners, and
it was then decided to again change her
name, as other boats plying ON the Pa
eihe Coast have similar names, which re-
suits in confusion.
The vessel will leave Seattle tonight for
Valdez and Seward, taking one of the
largest lists Of passengers Of the season.
Many OF those who will leave on the
vessel are bound for the Tanana and
Nazina districts, while several contractors
are headed for Seward.

LAND OF EARTHQUAKES

The japanese islands, as is we'll known,
are much subject to earthquakes, and very
few weeks pass without shocks of greater
or less severity being experienced.
Now and again very severe visitations
take place, causing severe loss of life and
much damage to property.
In October, 1891, an earthquake occurred
by which no less than 1850 people were
killed, while 10000 others were more or
less injured.
-Four years later tidal wave, due to
earth disturbance near to the japanese
coasts, rushed in upon the land and de-
stroyed between 1000 and 5000 houses,
killed nearly $1,000 people, and injured
more than $4,000 others.

TEACHINGS OF BUDDHISM.
The various religions of Japan are said
to embrace the worship Of about s,OO0,OOO
gods, small and great Buddhism is the
chief religion.
This is what Buddhism teaches its fol-
lowers: You must be truthful, pure hon
est and sober, and you must not kill; you
must put away your covetousness, deceit,
anger, pride, suspicion, ngratitude and
cruelty to animals; you must reverence
your parents obey your elders. and be
ever calm, resigned and forgving.
WHEN CALLING STAY AT HOME.
There are few things one should re-
member about calling upon sick friends,
the first is that he should not call.
Science has told us all about the mi
crobes that work internally for our de-
struction, but science is silent upon the
microbes that are working externally for
the patients downfall. These external
pests are the callers, the visitors who think
it is their duty and know it is their pleas
ure, to drop in for a few minutes and stay
the whole afternoon.
Something should be done to protect the
convalescent and the sick person from the
unwise solicitations of their friends.
The greater number of these guest mi
crobes, it must be admitted belong to the
fair sex. They hutter in and futter about
ike the nibbhng pests that are keeping up
the internal demonstrations. They forget
to go, but they never forget to come.

that here and there we ind that kind
