Mr.. Whites Manual Skill

Stewart Edward White, author of
"Blazed Trail Stories" and 1.-THE Silent
Places" is a good deal of jack-of-all-
trades. Just previous to his marriage
about year ago he drew up the plans
for the house in which he was to live
with his bride at Santa Barbara, Cal,
the building of which he also superin-
tended. He calls it "The Jumping Off
Place" When it became time to move
in, Mr.. White turned his adept hand to
carpentry and joinery, and built large
part of his furniture. He Is now busy
again with his hands, and this time he
appears in the guise of boat builder.
He has put together a staunch little
sloop. in which he intends to carry on
an exploration of the islands that lie
off his property about forty miles out
in the Pacific.

Our great state of New York stands
at the front on the glorious war record
of the nation. She sent more soldiers
to the Union armies than any other

ITH the flowers and blue skies
\A/ of this Memorial day come a
miracle-the actual return to
the south of the Confederate battle
flags captured during the Civil War.
1t seems but yesterday since Senator
Foraker in the btterest speech of his
life, poured out stream of denuncia-
ton over President Clevelands sugges-
ton that the flags be returned to the
south. Twice it became a national is
sue. Now the flags go back by order
of the government under a Republican
administration, under a Republican
president, elected by the greatest ma
jority on record.
The flags are distributed as follows:
Alabama, ID; Arkansas, 5; Florida, 5;
Georgia, "a; Kentucky, l; Louisiana,
8; Mississippi 18; Missouri, 2; North
Carolina, 81; South Carolina, IA; Ten
nessee, 7; Texas, 4, and Virginia, 6S-in
all 1913 flags transferred by Gen. Aims
worth to the various governors of the
Southern states.
And so a new chapter i'm national life
and progress begins. The foundation
idea of Christianity prevails. Strange
as it may seem. the first individual
state to send back her Confederate flags
is Massachusetts, which once censured
Charles Sumner for Offering in the
United States congress this resolution:
Summers Resolution
Whereas, the national unity and
good will among fellow citizens can be
assured only through oblivion of past
difference, and it is contrary to the
usage of civilized nations to perpet-
uate the memory of the civil war;
therefore
BE it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives. that the names
OF battles with fellow citizens shall not
be contained in the army register or
placed on the regimental colors of the
United States"
In hot rage the Massachusetts legis-
ture, in special session, described Sem
ator Summers bill las an insult to the
loyal soldiery of the nation meeting
the condemnation Of the people Of the
commonwealth"
In reply Sumner said; 81 cannot un-
derstand this tempest. l know that l
never deserved better of Massachusetts
than now 1t was our state which led

and equality, / coVet for her that
other honor Of reconciliation. My bill
has been commended by General Scott,
Los Angeles herald., 1905-05-28

General Anderson and General Thomas,
all good and true soldiers"
In the storm of national controversy
that followed the Massachusetts Iegis-
lature for a time remained defiant. but
in less than two years the blot was Of
ftcially semoved. Mr.. Sumner had been
deeply hurt by such censure coming
from his own state. To a friend he
wrote that it was not so much the con-
demnation of himself as the uncivilized
attitude of the commonwealth which
depressed him. To a friend he wrote :
How a cultivated heather could differ
from me I do not understand. His
tory is full of examples to sustain me.
Only the sea and tiger are as blind and
senseless as party hate"
II is but few years since President
Cleveland found the country opposed to
his plan of restoring the captured flags
to the South, all of which shows the
amazing leap Of public opinion from the
implacable fury of the Foraker days
to the present time. when reconcilia-
tion and business both North and
South so hand in hand to scatter flow
ers on the beloved dead, Confederate
and Union alike.

Saved From Shot and Shell

On the second floor of the tower
room on the big capitol in Albany are
exhibited over 500 battle flags which
New York state organizations carried
during the War of the Rebellion-some
torn, some riddled with shot, some
scorched with powder and all more or
less tattered by use on the field.
This number does not represent the
total number of flags carried during the
war by New York state troops. A num-
ber Of regiments are not represented
by single flag. The Tammany Hall
regiment. the famous Forty-second
New York, looks in vain for flag that
belonged TO. that famous fightins or
ganization. The Sixty-ninth regiment,
which belonged to the historic Irish
brigade. whose dead We're found close
to the wall of Fredericksburg. is not
represented by a single flag The miss
ing flags are those which II Is sought TO

part, official and personal, in the work
deavored to create public sentiment in
order to gather in all outstanding flags
that belonged to New York state or
ganizations during the War of the Re-
bellion, and it is no doubt in connec-
tion with this agitation that congress
was led to take the action it has in re-
storing to the respective states the cap
tured flags in it's possession.
The state capitol. a fireproof building
of modern design, carefully safeguarded
at all times, seems to most old soldiers
the most fitting place for the preserva-
tion of the old flags.
Under the militia law adopted by con-
gress in 1902 the former disparities be-
tween the National Guard in the diff
ferent states in the matters of dress,
tactics, armament, drill and division
have been practically done away with,
the federal law providing for uniform
the states and providing a fund of $2,-
100000 for Its attainment. Under this
law, the acceptance Of which by any
state is optional, but which New York
has agreed to, the rules regulating the
regular army are made up applicable
to the National Guard.
The federal law was intended to do
away with the general lack of uni
formity which characterized the guard
in various states and under it the

WEATHER FORECASTS
LONG RANGE PREDICTIONS IDLE
No Legitimate Basis for Estimates
Based on the Moons Phases or
Position Of the Planets.

The chief OF the Weather Bureau
has recently placed before the public
a pamphlet entitled Long Range
Weather Forecasts. by Prof. Z. b. Gar
riott, that is full of interesting things
to one who is seeker after the truth
regarding these decisions. A great
many things in 1t are worthy of fur
Their publication but we wish, at this
time, simply to give its conclusions:
Il That systems of long range
weather forecasting that depend upon
planetary meteorology; moon phases,
cycles. positions. or movements; stel-
lar influences. or star divinations; In
dications afforded by observations of
animals, birds, and plants. and esti-
mates based upon days, months. sea
sons, and years have no legitimate ba-
sis.
2 That meteorologists have made
exhaustive examinations and compari-
sons Tor the purpose of associating
the weather with the various phases
and positions of the moon in an earn
est endeavor to make advances in the
science along the line of practical
forecasting. and have found that while
the moon, and perhaps the planets.
exert some influence upon atmos-
pheric tides. the influence is too slight
and obscure to justify a consideration
OF lunar and planetary effects in tho
actual work of weather forecasting.
3. That the stars have no apprecia-
BILE influence upon the weather.
4. That animals. birds. and plants
show by their condition the character
of past weather. and by their actions
the influence of present weather and
the character of weather changes that
may occur within few hours.
5. That the weather of days,
months. seasons, and years affords no
indications of future weather further
than showing present abnormal condi-
lions that the future may adjust.
6. That six and seven-day weather
periods are too ill-defined and irregu.
lar to be applicable to the actual work
of forecasting.
7. That advances in the period and
accuracy of weather forecasts depend
upon a more exact study and under.
standing of atmospheric pressure over
great areas and determination of the
influences. probably solar. that are re
sponsible for normal and abnormal
distributions of atmospheric pressure
over the earths surface.
8. That meteorologists are not an.
tagonlstic to honest. well directed eff
forts to solve the problem of long
range forecasting; that. on the con
trary, they encourage all work in this
field and condemn only those who. for
notoriety or profit or through misdi
rected zeal and unwarranted assump
tions, bring the science Of meteorology
into disrepute.
8. That meteorologists appreciate
the Importance to the world at large
of advances in the period of forecast
ing and are inclined to believe thai
the twentieth century will mark ths
beginning OF another period in meteor
illogical science

The firemen taught him tricks, and
he learned to know as well as the
horses what the sound of the gong
meant He was always on hand and
raced ahead of the horses to the fire.
Yesterday evening Percy spled a
pigeon on the roof of the fire house.
He ran up the steps and out on the
roof to chase the intruder away. The
pigeon lodged into the drain pipe.
Percy put his head in after 1t but he
couldn't reach the pigeon and his col

withdraw it.

him, and no one saw him on the roof

firemen below noticed that the water
was falling down over the ledge In
stead of coming through the pipe and
one of them went up to investigate.
The water had run down about Per-
cy's head in the pipe and drowned
him. When the body was pulled away
