The latest dictum of the food experts IS that fish
IS no more useful as a brain food than cabbage or
roast beef They admit. however that it IS easier
TO digest nnd assimilhe than meat. and this fact
doubtless explains the preference which brain work
ers have manifested for such food.

SLAVS ARE MOVING.

The most momentous OF these various race
movements is that which is stirring in the
minds and In the hearts of the Slavs. II
is already manifest that out of the movement
toward Pan-Slavism there is come the
great story of this century, for the stirring
of the Slav means much to the world to-
day as the stirring of the German and the
Italian meant to the Europe of fifty years
ago. II promises to be of the most mar
Vicious stories of all the ages, but at the
same time 1t threatens to be one of the
most dangerous.
1t is then something more than a sentI-
mental consideration which at this time is
drawing so many of the leading minds OF
every branch of the great English speaking
race into a closer and closer correspondence
one with another in effort TO revive ths
ancient kinship and brotherhood of the race.
Should the blood of the Anglo-Saxors race ever
become thinner than water the future of the
world would be Russian or Chinese. A great
race has built up great empire from the
northern to the southern seas; 1t has settled
its children in all the vast unoccupied lands
OF the Americas and the Australas ii has
established peace through just governments;
1t has given to the poorest and the weakest
a degree OF protection to life and property

MUNICIPALITY
FREE OF DEBT
City Treasurer Redeems the
Park Improvement Bonds
That Were Issued in 1874
SURPLUS IN THE FUND
More Money Is Available
to Wipe Out the 0bliga-
tiOn Than Is Necessary

Yesterday was red-letter day in the
history OF the municipal government of
San Francisco, as it marked the wiping
out Of the only Indebtedness IT has
borne during the last thirty years.
This Indebtedness was the bond issue
in the sum of $3.50, 600 designated as
park improvement bonds" which was
incurred on April /. 1874, for the car
rying out OF improvements in Golden
Gate Park. They were to run for thirty
years, and consequently fell due on
April, 1904, which was yesterday. The
new bonded issue Of ST.. 200 cannot
be. considered debt until the Supreme
Court passes on its legality and the is
sue is purchased.
City Treasurer McDougald and his
force of deputies were busy all day re-
declining the bonds, which were pre-
scented by the holders thereof, most of
whom were the commercial banks.
Quite a number Of the bonds had the
last interest coupon attached. but
most of them contained the certificate
alone which entitled the holder to the
payment Of $1,000 as the face value of
each bond. They have been bearing
interest at the rate Of per cent per
annum. The sum paid out on the bonds
by the Treasurer aggregated nearly
$150. 900, and the remainder will be paid
out to-day.
The present budget set aside the sum
Of $4,000 for the interest account of the
bond issue and $4,000 for the sinking
fund: On February l last there stood
to- the credit of the sinking fund the
sum Of S250.917 9S. or 1917 9S more than
the amount required TO redeem the
bonds When the second installment
Of taxes is paid the approximate sum
Of $4,000 viii be transferred TO the fund.
which viii result in a surplus Of nearly
$4,000, that may be:applied to other pur-
poses of Improvement after it is put
into the general fund on July 1: 1904.
The park bonds were signed by three
city officials who held office at the time
they were ISSUED, namely James Otis,
Mayor; M Seabury, Auditor, and A. F.
Hubert, City Treasurer.

POTENTIALLY is WONDERFUL.

In the accomplishment of all these mighty
works from the days of Magma Charta down
to our time the Anglo-Saxon race in all its
branches and in all its widespread dominions
has grown rich, prosperous and proud. At
present IL il were united, nothing could
cessfuy assail. II. vast power is within
its hands; an opportunity immense awaits the
right exercise of that power. There is to
me- said Cecil. Rhodes. something almost
awful in the thought that If a few strong men
at Washington and at Westminster could
agree II would be possible even now to estab-
lish throughout the world Anglo-Saxon
peace which nation would dare break"
We may not agree fully with those words
of the great South African dreamer. but even
the least sanguine can hardly doubt that If
genuine blood loyalty grew up among the
men OF our race there would then be power
sufficient to guard civilization against any
threatening dangers from the banded barba-
rians despotisms and superstitions of earth.
That blood loyalty which is essential to
our race in the approaching struggle for
premacy, may reasonably believe. will be
attained in the near future The old antag-
ofisms that kept the American and the Brit
sh branches of the race more or less hostile
to one another are passing away. A thou
sand evidences manifest the growing and in
