So France wants the United States
to join her IN bringing Venez :cil
to her senses. We cannot see that ii
is any concern of our government that
the others representative has been
insultei by President Castro. If such
has been done France should send q
naval force to the Venezuelan coas:
and force an apology or teach that
country a lesson hat it wont soon tor
get; nor should it be necessary that
she first get the consent of our govern
ment to do SO. Our government would
not hesitate to pursue such course un-
der similar circumstances and it should
not stand in the way of others enforc-
ing respectful treatment of their repre-
sentat;ves at the hands of Venezuelan
officials.

a UNIVERSAL DISEASE

Catarrh usually begins with a cold in
the head, but does not stop there. The
mucous membranes all become infatned
and secrete a filthy, unhealthy matter
which is absorbed by the blood and dis
tributed to all parts of the body. The
patient is then continually hawking
and splitting, the nose is stopped up,
b ears have a ringing or buzzing noise,
the throat becomes sore, and as the un-
healthy matter more thoroughly sstu-
rates the blood a general feeling of des-
pondency takes possession of the system.

RAISE RATES TO LYNN CANAL Freight Charges Go Up and Mer-
 chants Are Grumbling

The steamship companies operating boats tu Southeastern Alaska have tilted rates. The Skagway Alaskan says;
 "The Pacific Coast and Alaska Steam ship Companies have agreed upon a new schedule of rebates for regular shippers which is equivalent to raise in the freight rates of from II to 2Oper cent, the lesser percentage applying to the big shippers and the larger per centage to the smaller shippers. The business men of Skagway and other southeastern Alaskan points are com blaming not q little because of the action.
 "The freight rates on the southeast ern Alaskanrou,e to Skagway are class flied and run from about BIO to sun considerably larger than that. Here tofore 1t has been the custom of each of the companies to allow any person a reduction from these rates of 20 per cent, upon their signing a contract to ship all their freight with the one company. irrespective of the amount of freight shipped. Further rebates were allowed, depending upon the amount Of freight shipped. These were graduated from to 20 per cent. This made the highest rebate allowed 36 per cent Of the face oi the freight bills; that Is, 70 per cent off for the contract and 20 per cent of the remaining so per cent, on account of the quantity of goods shipp- ed. The lowest rebate allowed was the 20 per cent for the signature to the contract.
 "In the readjustment the 20 per cent rebate for the signature to the econtract is eliminated entirely. The rebates on account of the quantity of goods ship ped have been rearranged. A person whose freight bills do not amopnt to $500 or more gets no rebate at all, and is thus 70 per cent worse off than be- fore. The lowest rebate allowed Is 2i per cent, and the highest 9 per cent. v

 Secretary Hitchcock in his annual re- port says of the destruction of Alaska seals:
 "The seal roolIeries are becoming year by year smaller, and the killing by the North American Commercial Company'S agent during the rast year has been about l2,OOO on St. Paul and l,3OO on St. George Island. The gov ernor states that it would be good policy for the government to come to @ friendly understanding for the remain der of the lease with that company, based upon the number taken the last five years, stop the killing for eight or ten years, deport the natives of both islands, and keep there only the nec- essary agents to look after the rocker ies. To prevent the entire extermi- nation of these animals some such m- mediate action is necessary"

Boy Discovers New Law In Physics

A new law in physics is the outcome of m original observation by a bright boy named Von Erspecum, in the high school at Batavia, Java. He notice! shat when a glass is filled to the brIm with water and floating ice, there IS no overflow on the melting of the ice, and two years ago he called the attention of his principal, pr. c. M. Van De- venter, to the fact. Other physicists were notified, who brought the matter before the Royal Academy of Amster- dam. It has now been shown that the water neither rises or sinks, and the proposed law of the permanent level' teaches that "when a vessel contains a solid floating in it's own liquid, the level of the latter does not change by the melting of the solid"
