Hon. R. B. Bryan,
State Supt. of Public instruction,
Olympia, Washington.
Dear Sir:-I am sending you some
marked copies of the ISLANDER from
which you will see that quite a con-
troversy has arisen in this county as
to the eligibility of the county super
intendent-elect. All the points in the
controversy are stated in the several
articles and in my comments thereon.
You will notice that in the first ar
ticle your letter to Miss Sweeney is
quoted and that in the communica-
ton published the following week
strong exception is taken to my state
ment that the right of Miss Sweeney
to the office seems conclusive, and it
is also intimated that your letter to
her is inconsistent with your official
report, as we'll as the letter of the
law. Twas chairman of the Repub-
lican County convention which re-
nominated Mrs. Buxton and | worked
diligently for her and much regretted
her defeat ] am strongly opposed,
however, to taking advantage of
mere technicalities to defeat the will
of the people as expressed at the
polls. Miss Sweeney is a graduate
of the Seattle High School and from
there she went to the Bellingham
Normal where she completed the ele-
mentary course, with work in the
training department, and she had
taught two years continuously at the
time OF her nomination for the super
intendency in this county Do you
know of any parallel case in the state
or whether the question has ever
arisen before A LITERAL construc-
ton of section 81 of the school law
would appear to render ANY Normal
graduate Ineligible to the superin-
tendency in any county above the
9th class until after obtaining a life
Diploma. / do not believe this to be
the INTENT of the act If you should
see fit to, obtain an official opinion
from the attorney general on the
subject I shall be very glad to be ia
vored with copy for publication.
Very truly yours,
o. III. Culver.

present i'll and under orders from MS
physician to have 20 business rela-
tions with the office for weeks to

whose serious injury by falling

The plat of Gould's addition was
approved on August 9th by the coun-

week deeds and contracts were made
for three of the 60-foot lots, two OF
the acre tracts, besides tract Of 100
by 12O it., and all of these are to have
dwellings placed upon them. There
has been also sold a tract of 8 acres
and the school district and the Meth
odist church have each taken q
tract. The fact that no effort has
been made to boom this addition
shows that there is demand for
property where the prices are rea-
sonable and easy terms are given
with low rate Of interest. :

Judging from the noise made by a
lot of fishermen leaving the harbor
on the tug Black Cat Sunday even
Jag, before the evening services be-
gan at tie churches, they did not
come here to satisfy 'hunger and
thirst after righteousness" There
is reason to believe that they attend
ed services elsewhere than at the
churches and that they imbibed free
ly of some other spirit than tbs spirit
of Righteousness.

The Record of EmotIons.

PhiIaUeIphIa InquITtT'
 We cannot always charge 1t to old age when we find our foreheads are crossed with a distressing network of tiny lines. It Is not always age that makes those disagreeable rows across our foreheads and around the eyes. There are some grandmothers whose faces have hardly a wrinkle and some granddaughters whose brows are as scanned as they might be at sixty. Time is not responsible for these existing little lines A good many of them may be charged up against worry. If one gets in the way of fTetting over everything that has gone wrong and everything one thinks likely to go wrong, the record upon one face will be a mark which is hard to crease and is far uglier than the lines the happy years bring.
