Lizards th.. walk ON Two Feet.

1AXarOS GfldL w ak ON Two FeCIs
Lizards of several sorts can walk
and run easily on their hind legs. The
Australian water lizard, which is three
or four feet in length, keeps quite erect
when traversing long distances on
land. 1t is found in the neighborhood
of river banks and passes much of its
time in shallow water.
The frilled lizard of Queensland also
travels on its hind legs on level
ground, keeping the frill folded while
running. When attacked it expands
this fold Of skin, which stands out like
a ruff at right angles round the neck,
giving it a formidable aspect, so that
dogs that attack and kill larger liz
ards will often retreat before frilled
lizard at bay.
There is also a tree lizard in Aus.
tralia that moves in a similar way.
ALI these species walk on all fours
when merely moving about or going
short distances.

This can be easily obviated by using
Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root of
the difficulty by correcting the diges-.
ton.
Digestion furnishes nutrition for the
nerve centers. Properly digested food
furnishes these reservoirs of life with
vitality which leads to strong, steady
nerves and thus nurishes life.
Peruna is in great favor among wo-
men, especially those who have voca-
tons that are trying to the nerves.

Municipal Elee-

Never has there been such quiet municipal campaign in Skagway as is the present one. One would not know from any outward indications that there will be an election early next week. There seems to be conviction on the part of the people that the thing is done. There is a general acceptance of the excellent ticket placed in nomi' nation at the citiZ ms convention.
 A fear has been expressed that a very poor showing will be made at the polls Tuesday. The apathy is so gen. eral that unless something comes up to develop an interest the number of votes cast is likely to be very small.

 Resolved, That editors have more influence than orators"
 The decision was for the affirmative.
 In addition to the debate, an interes.- ing lierary program was given. D. N' Hukill favored the society with two recitations. They were enthusiastical- ly received by the students.
