EDITORS HAVE TROUBLES.

It seems to be the lot of those who have to do with early things to be cru cifed, literally or metaphorically' for the sins of others, and the editor is ioiu. heir with the remainder of man. kind in this common inheritance Of hu- msnity. Itmay be believed by those who have nothing to slo with newspapers but to read them that an editors stand ing depends alone upon his ability to think souudly and logically and to write good English. That is not always so. There are other things than a mind made on the bias and a lacS of tscility in the use of words that cause the read ing public to swear at the man who writes the articles for the newspaper For instance, there is that knight ot the galley, the man who corrects the proofs. A mistake or 8 brilliant origt- nal conception by him sometimes makes a newspaper seem as if its editor had been dieting on foolish pow ders. A case in point:
 Saturday evening an addition to Daily Alaskan proof sheet made a sen tence in an editorial, commenting upon the condition of the late Senator Mitch ell. after he had been struck by the whirlwind of reform that is sweeping the country and the lessons to be de- ductsd theretrom, read as follows:
 Ut stripped him in such way as to disclose what a mockery are all honors which do not come to a man as incl dents to upright conduct and honest striving for that which is right rather than as the sole object of his endea7 ors."
 Alter the galley chief had completed his ministrations the following mean ingless gib6erish appeared in the pa paper:
 Ut stripped him in such way as to disclose what a mocksry are all honors which do not come to a man as incl dents of upright conduct and honest striving for that which is right rather then as the soil object Of this erdea7or.

Companies Have
 IncOnYenient Schedule

Never before iu the history of Alas kan navigation have the steamship companies operating on the southeast ern Alaskan route managed to get their schedule of arrivals and depart ures of mail steamers in 2 moro ineon- venient condition that It Is at the Prss- ent time. Last week, after the arrival of the Jefferson on its first day, there was no mail steamer to arrive. Before the middle of the present week shall have fairly passed, four will have ar rived-the Amur, the Cottage City, the Jefferson and the Fsrsllon. After the arrival of the last of these there will be none due until week after next. Be- tween the sailing Of the Jefferson on her present trip and her arrival on the following trip, December 24, no ve'se! is scheduled to reach Sksgway from Puget sound. This will give us Il days without mail from the south, Then, mail ships will be coming in droVes again.

The Kilkenny Cats.

To fight like the cats of Kilken-
ny relates to the Irish fable of two
Kilkenny cats which fought SO
fiercely that only their tails were
left! As a matter of fact, the fable
is said to have originated in an &C.
tual episode. During the Irish re-
bellion of 1903 it was a custom of
the Hessian soldiers stationed at
Kilkenny to tie two cats together
by their tails, hang them over a
clothesline and then leave them to
fight. Surprised one night at this
brutal sport, soldier drew his
sword and by cut across their tails
set the cats free. The presence Of
the tails was explained by saying
that two cats had fought till only
their tails were left.

Frost Fishing.

Catching fish without hook, bait
or net may seem to inlanders almost
an impossibility. Such fishing may
be seen on the Atlantic coast night
ly in winter near New York, and a
species of the finny family most sue
culent and toothsome is secured by
the thousands during the winter
season in this way.
The little frost fish come in near
shore to feed at the half tide, but the
powerful rollers, catching them, toss
them upon the sand, where they lie
gasping and struggling until sue
ceeding roller carries them safely
back into the icy green seas unless
some skillful hand lifts the little
frost fish into a clam basket. Mean
while barrels and baskets, bags and
wagons innumerable are being filled
to overlooking as wave after wave
filings the fish upon the sand.--New
York Herald.

ROSE TO THE OCCASION.
The Lady Mrs. Hamilton Fish Called
on Was Not at Home.

The late Mrs. Gilbert, the veteran
actress, was talking one day in Phil
adelphia about the time when Ham
ilton Fish was secretary Of state.
"Mr. and Mrs. Fish," she said,
chad a grand air, an old fashioned
courtesy, that introduced new
note into Washington society. They
taught Washington lesson. They
left it city of better manners and
gentler speech than it had been on
their entry.
1T has been said that Mrs. Fish
sometimes carried her high ideas Of
courtesy too far. With that STRIFE
ture | agree heartily. Mrs. F'ish's
courtesy was quixotic.
Zone of her rules, for instance,
was to return every call she receiv-
ed. Her husband was, continually
holding public receptions, and to
these, out of courtesy, many women
would come who had no desire that
Mrs. Fish should call upon them
who were in no position to receive
her properly if she did call.
"One such woman attended Fish
reception, left her card and little
later was duly honored with call
from Mrs. Fish.
at was a beautiful, mild after
noon. The Fish equipage, all a-ght-
ter in the wintry sunshine, dashed
down the narrow street and halted
before the woman's shabby little
house with musical jingle Of silver
chains. The footman lcaped from
the box and opened the carriage
door. Mrs. Fish descended.
"The poor woman Of the house
where was she all this time? She,
alas, was kneeling on the sidewalk
beside a bucket of hot water. Hei
sleeves were rolled back. She had q
scrubbing brush in one hand and d
cake of soap in the other. She was
scrubbing her front steps!
Imagine how she felt. What
would you have done in a predica-
ment so awkward? Would you have
been as wise and ready, l wonder
as the woman was?
, "Mrs. Fish, bending over her, said
graciously:
cts Mrs. Henry Smith at home !?
''And Mrs. Henry Smith replied
NO, mum, she amt and went OF
scrubbing." Cincinnati Enquirer.

1t Was an Owl.

1t was Sunday. Hunting was
good but finding was poor, the
dog was no good. They trudged

err caught sight Of feathery bunch
among the trees and blazed away.
The feathery bunch fell to the

AIR PRESSURE.
How Feathers Are Blown OFF Chickens
During a Tornado.


The officials of the United States
weather bureau have Photographic
proof of the accuracy of statemell It's
that it is possible for straws a nd
feathers to be driven deep into board
fences, trees and other tough mate
rials.
Ii the camera is to be relied on
there appears to be warrant for the
story that is frequently told as a
Joke that in some sections of our
country the winds are so fierce that
they blow the feathers off chickens
and other llckless birds.
A scientist in explaining the laws
of air pressure, which account for
many Of the freaks of cyclones,
says:
sThe air pressure at sea level is
about fifteen pounds to each squa re
inch. The pressure on the inside of
objects, even the human body, is
equal to that on the outside, thus
preserving proper equilibrium.
Disaster immediately follows the re-
moval of the pressure.
Contrary to the popular belief,
the danger attending tornadoes is
created from within and not from
the outside. During a tornado the
wind PUSHES along at terrific speeh,
so that the vacuum is created in the
center of the storm. The suddd n
exhaustion of the air in this fashion
relieves the outside pressure from
all objects in the path of the di s.
turbance.
"In the case of building the re-
suit is shown in the bursting out Of
the walls by the force of the unre-
sisted inside pressure. This is the
explanation for the presence of SO
many buildings without walls that
are found in the path OF every tor
nado.
"It is the same way with chick
ems. The air is exhausted so quick
ly from the outside that the inner
pressure blows off the feathers. In
the same way straws, feathers and
other frail substances are made to
penetrate much harder materials. I
have photograph of splinter Of
wood that buried itself in steel sec
ton of the Eads bridge, over the
Mississippi river, during the St.
Louis tornado" st. Louis Repub-
lie.

With a bosom full of injured

hunter flung the contemplate

"I'll never do it again." was the

were not complimentary to feath-

The Advertising columns
OF the local paper, says an ex-
change, are a good criterion
to Judge a town by and every
business a n d professional
man in the town should have
an advertisement in the home
paper if it is nothing greater
than two inch card. In adj
dltlon to the benefit it does
the advertiser in bringing his
business to the attention of
the public it is slight token
OF his appreciation ofthe ben
eflt that a we'll conducted and
enterprlslng newspaper is to
a town. Further, it is a
notice to the world at large
that his particular line of bus
mess IS represented in the
place by an enterprising man
and gives those seeking ioca-
tons a good opinion of the
business men represented.
