Deafness Cannot Be Cured

reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
int1amed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the EuStachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to ats normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever, nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.

tie hoids various high class offices. He
is more than prominent in athletic
circles and is withal one of those hale
fellows we'll met that have been a
characteristic of Harvard college life
for generations
AS far as known, young Dabney, who
is only 80 years of age, has known
Miss Lawrence only within a short
time.
Just what promise Dabney made
Miss Lawrence, is not known at the
present writing. When the affair was
first nOiSed about this campus young
Dabney was inclined to laugh about it.
Certain it is that he did not consider
the girl in earnest. AS time wore on
however. papers We're filed preliminary
to the suit for $4,000.
Frank Dabney. father of the boy, is
assistant treasurer of the Seattle Elec-
1l04 First avenue west. When seen
this morning he said:
Yes. l have known about that for
some tilne. | had hoped the papers
would not get hold of it. My son is not
known here. He did pay a flying
visit to Seattle some time ago, but all
his life he has lived either in Boston
or in New York
The boy was educated in the

junior there and will graduate in June
1905. We do not propose to let this
Lawrence woman, whoever she may pc,

trying to effect settlement out of
court. but we refuse absolutely to set
tie. If they want to carry it into
court we will fight them there. | have
my doubts, however. In fact. I do not
think the case will ever come up in
court. I think they will drop it.

The stormiest Region Known.

The waters Of Cape Horn have never
been unvisited by storms for more
than a week or two at a stretch with
in the memory Of man. Standing on
the outpost Of the world, Cape Horn
Is the meeting place Of ocean currents
Of very different temperatures, from
the Icy cold waters of the antarctic
drift to the warmth of the Brazilian
and Peruvian return currents. The
prevailing winds are from the north
west and west, apd these, coming from
the warm regions Of the Pacific, con-
dense into fogs which the sailors call
"Cape Horn blankets" and which are
the sure forerunners Of storms. The
extremely low levels to which the
glaciers Of TERRA del Fuego descend,
the perpetual congelat1on Of the sub
soil, the meeting of conflicting winds
of very different temperatures, are all
direct or indirect causes combining to
make this the most constantly stormy
region Of the world.

with pitch pine from Brunswick, Ca,
for Valencia.
A heavy sea prevented either vessel
from launching boat, but the Spanish
captain signaled Leaking six inches
an hour. Main pump broken, smaller
pumps clogged. Men worn out"
The British vessel signaled that it
would lay by, and as at 10 o'clock the
storm showed no signs of abating,
Capt. Day ran his steamer dangerously
close. and shot the hauser over the
bow of the brig. The Spanish sailors
with desperate efforts made 1t fast.
The Aros Castle forged ahead in an
effort to tow the bark. Some little
progress was made until o'clock In
the afternoon when great wave lifted
the bark and the hauser parted under
the terrific strain.e Vain efforts were
made during the rest of the day to get
another line to the bark, but none was
long enough.
AS soon as darkness closed down the
despairing crew began sending up
rockets, which the British boat an
swered all thru the night with flares.
When day dawned the sailors on the
Aros Castle could see that the bark
was perceptibly lower in the water.
The storm continued without abate-
ment and waves were such that 1t was
impossible to launch any boats. Thru
out Monday Capt. Day remained close
to the bark but the hurricane increased
and no effort to render aid was pos
sible.
All Monday night the Spanish sailors
sent up rockets to keep the steamer
near and Capt. Day kept flares going
constantly Just at the darkest part of
the morning great rocket from the
Talfalla was followed by absolute
darkness.
No more rockets were seen, no more
lights were shown.
Daybreak found the Arcs Castle
alone on the ocean. Not even trace
Of the bark remained.
All day the Aros Castle cruised
about. but could find nothing. Pitch
pine will not float.
The Talfalla was built in 1877 and
was owned by Barcells & Co. Of Subj
