TOUR OF WORLD.
knud Rasmussen Will Be North of
Polar Circle.

Kund Rasmussen, one of the young
scientists of the so-called literary ex-
petition to Greenland, which has re-
Gently returned to Copenhagen, pro-
poses to make a unique tour of the
world. 1t will be unique in that he will
be north of the polar circle most of the
time he is travelling. He will travel
mostly by sledges.
Leaving Greenland next spring, ne
and thence over the islands in the Arc
tic ocean to Alaska. Crossing Behring
sea, he will resume the sledge journey
in Siberia and continue until reaching
Europe, when he will abandon the
sledge and make trip to st. Peters
burg before starting for home. AS he
will travel in a leisurely manner and
make several stops, he does not ex-
pect to complete the undertaking inside
of three years.
His main purpose is to study the mi
grations of the Eskimos and in travel
ing in the opposite direction from their
movement he expects to discover much
bearing on their history and origin.
On his stay in Greenland he mast
cred the common Eskimo language,
and became versed in handling sledges
and in Arctic hunting and in conse-
ouence does not expect to carry any
great quantity Of provisions with MIN.
He will be accompanied by younger
brother and a number of Greenlanders
and Eskimos.
He has presented his plan to Cap
tain Otto Sverdup, who is familiar
with Greenland, Ellesmere Land and
the islands of the Arctic archipelago,
and the noted explorer commended it
and expressed the conviction that 1T
was practicable.

RUDOLPH RUPP ELECTED PRES.
IDENT OF FRESHMAN CLASS
AT STATE UNIVERSITY.
Graduate BY Vote Of 115
to &c.

The freshman class at the State Uni
| versity turned down the Seattle high
school in the division of class honors
and elected a straight ticket Of out
side officers. The election took place
Thursday and after one of the most
spirited contests in years, r. H. Rupp
of Walla walla was chosen president
of the class by the decisive vote of us
to SO. Every registered student in the
class was in attendance. This Is the
largest class ever registered at the
institution.
This is the fifth week Of the college
term and every class in the institution
has long since organized. 1t has been
the habit of the local high school men
entering the university to carry the
election and the honors were always
divided among them. This year, how
ever, the outside students insisted that
the election be delayed until all were
acquainted and until each student be-
came we'll enough known to be recog-
nized by the registration officials of the
class, says the Seattle Times.
In years gone by it was the GUS
tom at the State University to rail-
road in any voter who might be SNUG
gled into the room and have him cast
his ballot as agreed to beforehand. 1t
was not surprising under these con-
ditions to have a man chosen who was
really in the minority in the class.
Two years ago man not member
of the Seattle high school was elected
president. He had been in the insti-
tuition for four years at the time and
was as we'll acquainted with college
customs as any senior. This was Tony
Gales of Bucoda. Gales was popular
student and carried the day for the
outside forces.
The other officers elected are: A. L..
Thompson, Spokane, vice-presldent;
Miss Elsie wager, Olympia, secretary;
Harley March, Bellingham, treasurer;
and H. T.. Watson, the well-knoWn
Tacoma sprinter track captain.

GIVES HIS REASONS FOR GRANT.
ING PARDON TO CONVICT
CREIGHTON.
Says He Was Persuaded BY Felon's
Attorney That An Injustice Had
Been Done.

Il have no apology to make for
granting a pardon to Bruce Creighton.
1t was not shown to me that he was
as bad as the officers say I relied for
my information on Fremont Campbell.
he said he thought an injustice had
been done Creighton and conincide In
that belief
Even if Creighton was as bad a
man as he Is now said to be, that was
no excuse for sending him to the PEN
itentiary for twelve years on a charge
of robbery. The fact that a man IS
bad should not be used against him
when ne is being tried on another
charge.
IT'S pretty serious thing to send
a man to the penitentiary for twelve
years.
MY experience as county attorney
taught me that police officers are
sometimes prejudiced against a priso-
ner and try to give him the worst Of
it,"
These are Gov. Mead's excuses for
his inexplicable course in pardoning
Bruce Creighton, many times a con-
victed felon, whose sentence to prison
aggregated sixty years, and who start
ed in a career of crime from which he
never relaxed, When lad, as made out
in Tacoma this week.
Forgets Cumulative Sentence Law.
1.-THE fact that man is bad should
not be used against him when he Is
being tried on another charge" says
the governor. The cumulative sentence
law, now on the statute books of the
state, was forgotten or ignored when
the governor, VINO claims to be
lawyer, made his statement. The law
is acknowledged by students Of GRIM
inology and jurists to be one of the
best on the books. 1t provides that
where man is convicted of a felony
after having been before convicted,
conviction, he is sent to the peniten-
tiary for life. But this little fact did
not appeal to Governor Mead.
The governor blames Fremont Camp
bell well known Tacoma lawyer and
politician, for securing a pardon for
Creighton. "Campbell,'' says Mead,
told me he believed an injustice mad
been done Creighton. Campbell was
prosecuting attorney when Creighton
was convicted of trying to rob Chief
of Police Fackler of his revolver DUR
ing desperate battle between the two,
on which death or life for the chief
was hinged.
Ignores Protests of Judge.
But Campbell appeared before the
governor as Creightons attorney and
Mead listened to him, ignoring the at
titude of Judge Smell, who sentenced
Creighton, and Prosecutor Bates, who
succeeded Campbell, both of whom
were against the pardon.
MY experiences as prosecuting at
torney, is cited by the governor. He
was prosecuting attorney of Whatcom
county once, after having left the lit
tie town of Blaine for the Belling ham
Bay city. Police officers in large cities
will smile when they read this last Of
the governors excuse for his unparal-
leled leniency in favoring man past
middle life, whose whole career has
been that of a desperate and outlaw,
and who has seen the inside of prac-
tically every large prison and Jail on
the Pacific Coast

A DEEP SEA GLUTTON.
This Marine Wizard Can Swallow .
Fish Twice Its Own Size.

| This Marine Wizard Can Swallow .
| Fish Twice Its Own si.e.
| 'That one animal can devour another
twice its own size at single swallow
Is statement that may seem as in.
credible as any fish story ever invent
ed,' writes DR.. Sanderson Christison.
NEVERTHELESS it is true Of certain fish
es. So far as known such fishes are in
habitants of the deep seas, where utter
darkness perpetually prevails, with an
unvarying temperature almost as cold
as ice and pressure ranging, accord
ing to depth, from quarter to three or
four tons upon every square inch of
their body surface. The deep sea Is
commonly regarded as commencing
where the rays Of sunlight cease to
penetrate, which is estimated to be less
than 1900 feet below the surface, and
may extend to twenty times that dis
! lance or even much more, down to the
bottom Of the ocean. Fishes have been
dredged from below 1900 feet
"A deep sea fish, the Chiasmodus nj
ger, six and flve-eighths Of an inch
long, has been found to have swal-
lowed another fish ten and a half inch
es long. The stomach Of the devourer
! is stretched as thin as gold beater's
skin. 1t has sharp, hooked teeth, which
cross each other from opposite sides Of
the mouth and usually point backward.
According to Gunther, the fish after
having seized it's victim with its capa-
cious and very movable jaws partly
presses it down as q snake would do
and partly draws itself over it. The
prey is received into an esophagus and
stomach the membranes Of which are
| as extensible as an india rubber pouch,
The stomach when empty is contracted
and folded up and projects but little
below the abdomen.
when deep sea fish is brought to
the surface, how gradually and careful
soever, its bones are often like so much
touchwood and its muscles like rotten
pulp, while its eyes are burst from its
sockets and its viscera are often blown
out Of the body cavity by the expan-
sion Of the air bladder. 1t frequently
happens that deep sea fishes are found
floating helplessly on the surface of
the ocean with large prey in their
stomachs. Their appearance under
these circumstances is accounted for
by the efforts of their struggling vic
tins to escape from their jaws, caus-
ing them to ascend beyond the horizon
tai zone which they usually inhabit.
deep sea fishes are commonly black
or dark brown. But, although it is
claimed that light Is essential to the
formation Of colors, some deep sea
fishes are scarlet in parts or uniform
red or rosy. Others are silvery white.
while, according to Alcock, the neo-
copelus is 'one dazzling sheen of pur-
pie and silver and FURNISHED gold,
amid which is a sparkling constellation
Of luminous organs"

THE OLD SAILING SHIPS,

Why the Wooden Ones Were Better
Than Those Built of Iron.
The sailing ship when knew her in
the days Of her perfection was a sensi-
bic creature. When say her days Of
perfection I mean perfection of build,
gear, seaworthy qualities and ease Of
handling, not the perfection Of speed.
That quality reached it's highest ex-
cellence In the discovery Of hollow
lines and departed with the change Of
building material.
None Of the iron ships Of yesterday
ever attained the marvels of speed
which the seamanship Of men famous
in their time had obtained from their
wooden, copper sheeted predecessors.
Everything had been done to make
the iron ship perfect, but no wit Of
man had managed to devise an efficient
coating composition to keep her bot
tom clean with the smooth cleanness
Of yellow metal sheeting. After a
spell Of few weeks at sea an iron
ship begins to lag as If she had grown
tired too soon. It is only her bottom
that is getting foul.
A very little affects the speed of a
ship that is not driven on by an untir-
ing propeller. Often it is impossible to
tell what inconsiderate trifle puts her
off her stride. A certain mysterious
ness hangs around the quality Of speed
as it was displayed by the old sailing
ships commanded by competent sea-
men. In those days the speed was
still a matter for the seaman's care.
Therefore, apart from the laws, rules
and regulations for the good preserva-
ton Of his cargo, he was careful of his
loading. Of what Is technically called
the trim Of his ship. Some ships sailed
best on an even keel, others had to be
trimmed quite one foot by the stern,
and I have heard Of a ship that gave
her best speed on a wind when SO
loaded as to float couple Of inches
by the head.-Joseph Conrad in Har-
pers Weekly.

THE LAW OF FINDING.
Against All Save the Owner the Find.
er's Title Is Perfect.

Against All Save the Owner the Find
er's Title Is Perfect.
In common law finding is qualified
source Of title to goods and chattels.
Briefly, the law Is that the finder has
clear title against all the world, except
ing the owner. The proprietor of a
coach or railroad car or ship has no
right to demand property found on his
premises. Such proprietors may make,
in regard to lost articles, regulations
which will bind their employees, but
they cannot bind the public.
The law Of finding was declared by
the kings bench more than a hundred
years ago (when it was the supreme
court Of common law in England as
follows:
A person found q wallet containing a
sum Of money on a shop floor. He
handed the wallet and contents to the
shopkeeper to be returned to the own
er. AftS three years, during which
the owner did not call for his property,
the finder demanded Of the shopkeeper
the wallet and the money. The latter
refused to deliver them upon the
ground that they were found on his
premises. The finder then sued the
shopkeeper, and it was held, as stated
above, that, against all the world save
the owner, the title of the finder is per-
feet. The finder has indeed been held
to stand in the place Of the owner.
Thus A prevailed in an action against
B, who found an article which A had
originally found, but subsequently lost
The police have no especial rights in
regard to articles lost unless these
rights are conferred by statute. Receiv-
ers of articles found are trustees for
the owner or finder. In the absence of
special statute they have no power to
keep an article against the finder any
more than finder has to retain an ar
tcle against the owner.
A finder must however, use every
reasonable means to discover the own
er Of found goods before appropriate
ing them to his own use 1t has been
declared that if the finder knows the
owner or knows that he can discover
him he is guilty Of larceny in keeping
or appropriating to himself the arti-
cles found.

best to secure them both by hooks and

cured they brought home triumphant.
