CALVIN ISSUES ORDER
Physical Condition of En-
ployes to. Be Looked At
ter by Company Surgeons

General Manager Calvin of the
Southern Pacific Company has ordered
an examination of the men employed
in every branch of the operating de-
partment of the big railroad system.
The practice of subjecting employees to
thorough physical examination at
regular intervals has been in force on
the large Eastern roads for number
of years, where the results. it is claim
ed, have tended to materially improve
the service. The coming examination
on the Southern Pacific system will be
the first undertaken on the Western
Hartman lines, and will begin in about
ten weeks under the direction of Chief
Surgeon Ainsworth.
Every man who has anything to do
with the handling of trains will have
to submit to the inspection, which will
include thorough test of the sight,
especially as to color sense, hearing
and the general physical condition. To
facilitate the examination special cars.

will be kept in the Offices of the North
ern and Southern districts. When
man enters the employ of the South
ern Pacific Company he has to undergo
an examination, but this will have no
particular bearing on the future exam
nations. The announcement has been
made that the surgical car, which the
Southern Pacific Company has had in
process of construction for number
of months, will soon be turned out OF
the shops. 1t will be used to attend
wrecks and other disasters that may
occur along the lines of the company.

WILL HARVARD CUT OUT
THE BRUTAL FEATURES?
President Elliot Determined that Rough
Play Shall Be Eliminated
= from Fotball.

Cambridge, Oct. 26.-President Elliot
of Harvard has determined that brutal
ity and unnecessary roughness shall
cease in football played by Harvard
teams, or that football itself shall be
eliminated from the athletic curriculum
Of the University.
At the Yale Harvard game in the
Stadium next month President Elliot
will sit near the side line as critic OF
the play. II there is any smuggling he
will recommend to the corporation that
Harvard cease playing intercollegiate
football. The corporation could un-
doubtedly so vote. and. football, with
Harvard left out, would receive stun
ming if not a Knockout blow.
President Elliot is no warm friend OF
football as played today. His reports
have frequently been hostile, but he has
yielded to public opinion. In his recent
resolve he was backed up by President
Roosevelt and influential members OF the
Faculty and Corporation.

Keller. cremated in New York January
Il. 1905. we're rescued from the waters
Of Puget sound today by a deck-hand
on the tug Harold G., who later became
frightened lest the presence Of the urn
on his boat might prove a hoodoo, and
hid it under the Washington street dock.
Subsequently a local undertaking firm
secured the urn and advertised the find.
An inscription shows that Elsie kelIers
ashes were either lost or thrown into
the bay
The tug boat hand tore of the in
scription when he picked up the floating
urn and handed il to his captain. Then
he bored a hole in the iron casket and
poured out some Of the ashes. Beeom-
inc frightened he gathered up the ashes
agaia and secreted the urn. The ashes
are held in a galvanized iron cask OF a
kind now out Of date in most of the ere
matories. but the date on the inscription
shows it to be ten years old.

San Francisco, Oct. e6.-on the night
of August 18th, when the whaling bark
was cruising about IS miles
west of Pribyloff island in Behring sea,
Mate Pease and the men on deck were
thunderstruck by the appearance OF a
great city Immediately ahead. There
was the shore rising and rising bove it
we're thousands Of electric lights twink
ling along hundred streets.
Here and there apparently at promi'
nent corners, were larger lights and
along the shore were the myriad Of
lights showing at the wharves. But the
mate and his men knew that this must
be an imaginary city, and that for
hundreds of miles beyond where these
lights fiared out was only an expanse
of desloate waters. The mate called
Captain Fisher, and he looked upon the
scene and was bewildered.
There was no accounting for the won
derful sight. This city seemed as real
as San Francisco seems to vessel an
ehored in the channel near Goat Island
When daylight came the spectacle fad
ed away, and in all directions was only
the heaying bosom of the sold sea, with
no land in sight and no great city within
