CRACKED VOICES.
A Lack of Muscular Control Is What
 Causes the Break.

4 Lack of Muscular Control Is What
 Causes the Break.
 The pitch of the human voice de penGs primarily upon the number of vibrations per second of the vocal cords. and these, in their turn, depend on the length, size and degree of ten sion of the cords, which increase in length with the growth of the laryuN. One of the deepest bass notes, from the greater length of the cords, has only eighty double vibrations a second, while a soprano voice can give 002 such vibrations in the same time.
 The size of a lads larynX is, roughly, that of a woman's, but when the pip ing schoolboy is shooting up into man. hood his larynX grows rapidly and the vocal cords become elongated nearly in the proportion of three and a half to two. The cartridges by which their tension is regulated also share in this growth, as is seen by the swelling of the so called Adams apple
 Now, all these parts do not increase with equal rapidtty; hence the muscu- lar control, which must be very exact, is rendered uncertain and the voice is said to "break." A similar change takes place in the case of women, but very much less in amount, and a fur, ther compensation in the formation of the upper part of the larynx serves to disguise the effect.

One EngIIshmnn and One Irishmnn
 Were Among Their Number.
 An EngHshman and an Irishman were among the sturdy 12O ad- venturers who sailed with Columbus in the three small hundred touners, This may have been due to the well known fact that nothing brings men of different races together more than maritime and commercial enterprise, or, still more probably, because they were swept in at Palos, when Colum- bus put the press gang to work, as he was authorized to do by Ferdinand and Isabella.
 The names of these men, as given by Navarrete, were Jallarte de Lajes Ingles prObably Arthur Lake, Eng lish), and Guillermo Tres, naturel de Galney, en Irlanda probably William Herries or Rice, native of Galway, in Ireland).
 These two men were among the forty whom Columbus left behind in the fort constructed in HispaniOla be- fore he sailed for Europe, who all met their death at the hands of the natives before the great discoverer returned, owing to their disregard of his express direotA

 Later the young officer received a complimentary letter from the secre- tary of the navy. Every one rejOiced but the old seaman; he coveted the let, ter for his ensign.

 Well, see here," said the old man eagerly. Tomorrow night I'll be ir the main chains, fussing with some. thing or other, and I might fall in, anG you could jump after me"
 That would be very good of you, said the ensign gravely, but, you see, I'm not a good swimmer by any means"

Pacific Coast Steamship
 Preparing For Next Year

c D. Dunauu, the general passenger agent of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company with headquarters at San Francisco, arrived on the Spokane, Saturday, and left this morning for the interior. Mir. Dunann is in the nor-h for the purpose of preparing for the work of handling the passenger busi- ness of next year and for the purpose of getting ideas that will assist him in inducing the tourist travel to come Alaskaward. He will visit the Yukon river mining camps and Nome, return ing to the states on one of the last trips of the Senator.
 Said Mir. Dunann:
 eve tried last summer to take care Of this excursion business to the interior. At that time the business was just be- ginning to develop and it is growing greater all along. Our experience in the past has shown that thorough organization must be effected to take care of the travel.
 eve expect to be able to send tour ists by way of Dawson to Nome and St. Michael. Stop over privileges will be accorded that will allow tourists to vis- it the gold camps about Dawson and to get uo the Panama as far as Fairbanks. From Nome it is easy for tourists to go. out to the gold creeks and see the work ings.
 This will aid AlaSka'S development materially for it will extend the knowl- edge of eastern people as to the re- sources and extent of the country"

Nome Paper ROasts The Gov
 ernOr On Worlds Fair

Gov. Brady seems to have come out of his state of Information and to have disentangled himself from his bunch of totem poles long enough to realize that Northwestern Alaska has no exhibits at the Worlds Fair. It the good gov eruor had eviuced little more interest in this section early last summer, the result might have been different. But along in August of last year the people of Southeastern Alaska, with an eye single to the lOaves and fishes, got into a wrangle, in which the interior de- partment injected itself, over the appointment of commissioner. Of course, in the end, Gov. Brady plucked the persimmOu, and the usufruct there of and the uuearned incUement-that IS to say, the whole government appro priation, S5O,OOO, a mere beggacly pit tsnce, to be sure-wss used for Gov. Brady's immediate bailiwick. As a matter of fact, if Alaska'S exhibits at the Worlds Fair are the failure which they are represented to be, the fault lies largely with Chief Commissioner Braiy.-Nome Nugget.

The work of laying the Sitka-Seattle cable has been suspended, and the Burnside is in Seattle to get new ma chinery. On the night of July 3 the machinery broke causing the cable to part, and it was not until July F that the lost end was recovered. The acci- dent occurred off Dixon entrance.
 It is believed by many that the cable will not be completed until late in the fall. Deputy Collector Hobart, of the customs force, wEo is in the city, says that is the conviction at Sitka and oth- CT points along the line.
