5 Rev. Ira r. Hicks, the noted weather
forecaster of St. Louis, Mo-, has for l8
years past edited monthly journal of
national reputation, Word and Works.

Hicks weather forecast for the first six
months Of 1906. The January, 1896,
number will contain the weather fore
casts for the second six months of 1906.
These two numbers of the magazine
will take the place of the hicks Al
manac, which will be discontinued.
The matter that has heretofore been
published in Hicks Almanac each year
will now be found in the magazine, and
much more. The price of the Word
and Works Magazine is 10 cents per
copy or sI.oo per year. Send 10 cents

The Dakots's Clock Has Been Installed.

Last Tuesday The! handsome ships
cloekpresented 70 the steamship Da.
kota blythe delegation from this state
which recently greeted the leviathan on
her arrival at Seattle, was installed at
the head of the main stairway. in time
for her maiden trip to. the Orient,
writes Harry Bringhurst. Like the
clock presented to the steamship Min
nesota by the state of the same name,
the Dakota's time piece was hung at the
head Of the main stairway, the most
prominent place on the ship.
4 The clocks given the sister ships by
the states for which they were named
are much alike. They are made to be
fastened into the woodwork of the YES
seland to become "a part of the ship
itself. Eachis of handsome design and
on the boats the clocks are regarded
with intense loyalty.
The Dakota is lying at Smith Cove
awaiting the time when she will be
loaded for the first trip to the Orient.
She is to sail Sept. 20 and will begin
loading about the first of the month.

Who Used it first?

An Emmons county man writes as
follows: Can any Indian linguist in these
parts give better answer than the
Boston paper? ?,a"Do you, or any of your
readers who are acquainted with Indian
tongues, know, if the following cutting
from recent St. Paul paper gives the
probable derivation of the above abbre-
Walton now SO commonly used in the
United States? If it is not correct, can
you throw any light on the subject?
'rhe term 30. K" does not spring from
an easy spelling of "all correct" 1t is
Choctaw. There is in that language a
word. "okeh," which means "it is cor
rect" or 81 agree or opprove" 1t is
often used alone TO give assent or ap-
proval to suggestion or proposal.
"Okeh" was IN common use among
whites who had dealings with the Choc-
taws more than thirty years before the
Van Buren campaign. 1t was con.
venient expression, where parties under
stood each others language imperfectly,
and was used TO mean II understand
you and approve of what pou say" or
II understand your statement and
vouch for its correctness.'-Bost
HeraId." [The Century dictionary says
of 20. X: "Origin obscure; usually said
to have been originally used by Andrew
Jackson, seventh president ofthe United
States. AS an Authorization of all correct,
spelled whether through ignorance or
humorously) oil Korrect.' Another
statement refers to the use of odd Koe-
kuk,' an Indian chief, who is said to
have signed treaties with the initials
o. K meaning all right, or correct."]

,ss ,4s The srhan with an idea has ever
changed the face of the world
One reason why we. do pot make the
most OF the winning material in our.
selves Is because of magnifed idea
aof the great superiority Of others who
do things In the world.
AS a rule no good comes from criti-
cising others. Anybody can do that,
but the man who can accept his own
honest estimate Of himself and resolve
to profit by it has achieved something.
No matter what you are doing, think

!. The following. editorial comment by
the Pierre Free Press on the North
western Mutual Life Insurance Co.'S
methods sof doing business will be gnf
interest to the many patrons of the COM
pany in this state.
The Free Press says:5"There are four
leading life insurance comp panies in the
United States, figuring the amount of
capital and surplus they claim. Three
OF these, the New York Life, the New
York Mutual and the Equitable, are
located in New York, and are Just now
involved in scandals which show that
their arrangements have squandered
the earnings of policy holders in stock
jobbing, gambling on Wall street, and
fancy expenses. The fourth company,
the Northwestern Mutual Life Insur-
ance Co. of Milwaukee, by its conserve
ative and honest management and the
gratifying dividends it has always paid
its policy holders, has escaped all such
charges Of corruption and is today the

FISHES THAT ARE RACERS.
The Tarpon, shark and Mnckerel Arc
sh the SDecd ChamniOna

The Tarpon, shark and Mnckerel Are
!t the Speed Champions.
Study of the speed Of fishes is en-
barrassed by unfavorable difficulties.
1t is not possible, as with birds, to set
up tall poles. at intervals of quarter
lot q mile and, i, with the help of stop
watches, time them as they go by.
Nevertheless Investigation of the sub.
ject goes to show that the maekerel, if
not the champion racer of. the briny
deep, comes pretty near to carrying off
the hcnors. Unquestionably it Travels
sometimes as fast as an express train
at high speed-say, at the rate of sixty
Or possibly seventy miles an hour.
Other things being equal the larger
the fish the faster it swims, just as the
huge steamship is able to travel at a
speed much greater than the little har-
Dor tug. Undoubtedly the energy en-
ployed by q fish Of great size, such as
q thirty foot shark when travelling ut
its best gait, is something tremendous.
An ordinary tug, which represents Il
maximum Of energy in minimum of
bulk, uHlizes about 200 horsepower.
or course 1t is only guess, but it
would not seem to be over the mark
to suppose that a seventy foot whale
makes use. of 500 horsepower when it
prdpels its huge bulk through the wa
ter at rate of thirty miles an hour.
A whale, which is mammal and not
a fish, might be compared to freight
In cl,oxs Sc.
press, but it can beat the fastest ocean
greyhound in speed contest.
If there is a fish that can travel fast
er than shark it must be the tarpon,
which can probably 'hit her up to the
tune Of eighty miles an hour, if pressed
for time. Generally speaking, it may
be said that finny creatures which live
near the surface Of the sea are swift
swimmers, as compared with those
that dwell in the depths. Thus the
cod, which is deep water species, is
sluggish and would stand no show
at all in a race with the mackerel or
herring. These latter, which are dis
tinctively pelagic, depend for their liv-
ing upon their activity in pursuing
agile prey. and they must be quick in
their movements in order to escape
their own enemies.
If the mackerel were as big as good
sized shark it would probably be the
speed champion Of the ocean. No fish
is better shaped for rapid going. Some
years ago a yacht builder in New
York constructed sloop with hull
patterned exactly after the underbody
Of Spanish mackerel.a She was called
the Undine, and, if tradition does not
lie, she never was beaten. Like the
fish after which she was modelled, she
had her greatest breadth Of beam for
ward Of amidships-a decidedly novel
idea in boat building. One mary say,
indeed, that all modern water craft
are more or less fshlike in their make
up; yet, on the whole, it is surprising
that marine architects have not striven
more earnestly than they have done
to obtain hints from natures own H.,
lustrations Of aquatic speed making
principles.-Saturtzay Evening Post.

is new, of the most improved kind, and
is properly set and under the careful
supervision Of the proprietors.
The washing is done on the ground
floor where great quantities Of hot and
cold water are always on tap. The. dry
