Gibraltar.

MisapprehenSiOns about Gibraltar are
endless. The hackneyed Gibraltar
commanding the straits" has been glib
ly used, like many another military ex-
preston, by amateur strategists until
its very meaning has become as uncer-
tain as it is unintelligible, for many
people upon hearing that the strip of
sea between the rock and the opposite
coast Of Barbary is fifteen sea miles
and that in consequence no guns can
range across it have been beard to ask,
What is the good Of holding it when
its guns do not command the straits?'
Such folk would seem to be unaware
that for over century and half aft
er we captured it our guns only ranged
about mile and were erratic at that,
whereas heavy modern ordnance ranges
over twelve miles and can be served
from a height like Gibraltar with ac-
curacy-certainly for over six miles.
This, of course, is merely an aside, for
the expression command of the
straits" never was intended to refer to
the range of cannon and never did, but
to the strategic position Of Gibraltar

WOODEN INDIAN
The Force of Heredity.

An interesting and startling theory
to the effect that every popularity OF
the living organism is simply it's re-
spouse to environment is launched by
Major Charles Woodruff in American
Medicine. According to this view, it is
useless to attempt to explain heredity,
since it does not exist in the common
acceptance Of the term. Resemblance
between parent and offspring are due
merely to the fact that like conditions
are acting upon them, and environment
causes all the differences as we'll as
similarities In individuals. Says this
author:
Heredity Is a convenient term. like
'cold," which does not express any entity
at all. It merely means that when the en-
vironment acting on the ovum has been
practically the same as that acting upon
the parent in its development the results
are Identical. Variation Is a convenient
expression for what always happens
that is, the environment, which is COM
posed Of SO many thousands of factors,
each changing daily. hourly. or from sec.
ond to second, never can be exactly like
the ancestral environment
1t will, no doubt, be difficult to disabuse
our minds of the idea that heredity Is q
force In itself and different from the
chemic affinities of the protoplasm, but II
it is distinctly understood that the word
merely stands for the power to react, as
the parent reacted, to identical forces,
there is no objection to the use Of the
term. Organisms, then, inherit qualities
or powers of reaction. just as piece OF
ice inherits the chemic qualities of the
block from which 1t is broken. We might
say that heredity is the power to do as
the parents did, and, naturally, the results
attained are not necessarily alike in each
generation.
Through DR.. Woodruff's whole article
there runs the idea that to the medical
profession, with it's lifelong acquaint-
ance with all sorts Of racial and indi-
vidual departures from type, science
must look to solve this problem Of
variation, modification and heredity,
real or apparent, closely bound up as
it is with the welfare of the human
race. He writes in conclusion:
The medical profession, being daily and
hourly occupied with the study OF modln-
cations of this one species Of animal, Is
in a position Of authority with power to
stop the old biologic quarrel and must do
it in the interests of the etiology Of dis
eases and deformities and the uplifting
of the race. The anomalies are neither
due to inherent wickedness Of the germ
plasm nor are they inscrutable acts Of
God, but they are due to definite physical
causes. The offspring Of normal people
are not foreordained to be normal, nor
are the children of degenerates necessa-
rily damned. Pessimism has no place in
this matter

Belgian Hares a Cheap Food.

In this country, where nearly every
one relishes when properly cooked our
native wild rabbits and jack rabbits, it
has often occurred to economists that
the Belgian hares, which multiply at
the rate Of fifty young from a pair an
nually, ought to constitute a supply Of
cheap food for people Of restricted
means when meats and poultry are
dear. They are inexpensive feeders,
cabbage leaves, the cheap vegetables,
clover hay, apple parings and any such
substances being fully relished by
them and upon which they thrive.
It has been computed that they may
be placed upon the market at a good
profit at 10 cents per pound at retail.
At one years age they attain seven to
ten pounds.-New York Telegram.

JAPANESE RUSES.
Eethods Of the willy Orientals In the

EethOds Of the Willy Orientals In the
Late War.
Major General Won Frobel, German
military expert with the Russian army
in the late war, writes of Japanese
ruses: 'In the middle Of February last
l was with Rennenkampf's cavalry on
the extreme right Of the Russian army.
A flag of truce arrived and handed in
several letters written in unexception-
able Russian. One was to General
Rennenkampf and contained polite
request that, since hOstilities did not
appear to be imminent, he would allow
his officers to meet the Japanese. cav
airy officers at a picnic. Feb. 20 was
proposed for this entertainment, but
the Japanese hosts were ready to put
it off till later date If more conven-
lent The proposed picnic actually took
place, and the Russian and japanese of
ficers met Feb. p. To understand the
Loint Of this little Japanese joke it is
necessary to remember that the great
Japanese offensive movement began on
the Goth, but against the Russian ex-
IRENE left not the Russian right.
Thus while both sides were picnicking
on the Liauho they were fighting at
the Dalin pass.
"At Mukden the staff interpreter had
Communicated my Chinese servant to
assist him in translating the contents
Of a packet of letters which had just
been taken from the bodies Of dead
japanese. From these letters it ap-
peared that we had Nogi's army-or at
least portions of tin front Of US. We
were confirmed in this belief by the
Japanese themselves. We were fight.

ARMORY HALL is SCENE OF
MUCH ACTIVITY FROM MORN
ING TO NIGHT.
EraternaI Carnival Committee An
nounces an Excellent Entertain
nent for This Month.

Things are becoming lively about
Armorv hall, where the Fraternal Car
nival will hold forth January % to 2S.
Preparations are being made to enter
tain the largest crowd that mas ever
filled the big hall for seven nights
straight. and it now seems likely that
the bright hopes will be realized. In
terest in the carnival is growing daily,
and with the announcement of the at
fractions billed by the committee but
little remains to assure a crowded
house. at each performance.
The committee announces that Muller
and Chunn two Of the best known
vaudeville artists in the east, have
been engaged for the week, and will
give a program entirely new in the
west. Both men are said to be artists
of rare ability. Dugan and began, two
Irish side-splitting laugh provokers,
have been engaged for the event and
will introduce a number of new stunts
to the pleasure loving people Of Walla
Walla. In addition the Mannerchor Of
this city will sing, and the public we'd
ding and queen pageant will prove
drawing cards The queen has not yet
been named, but by Saturday night it is
expected that the vote will be closed
and a favored daughter of Walla Walla
will be given the place of honor to
rule over her subjects for the brief
space of seven days.
At the hall number of booths are
being installed and the decorations are
well under way. A number of unique
exhibits are promised. The queens
throne is being placed on an elevated
stage, where it will be properly draped
the last of the week This year the
queens pageant will pass along the
side of the hall at a height of six Get,
giving a perfect view of the procession
even to the shortest youngster in the
hall. Last year the parade was on a
platform too low to give any but the
tallest a fair view.
The ballothing for queen goes merrily
on, hundreds of votes being cast every
day.

HAS BEEN ADOPTED BY THE
STATE BOARD OF EDUcA-

WaIIa WaIIa Teachers Have Beer
Granted Life DipIomas-R. e.
Stafford and Miss Ingram.

At the recent meeting of the state
board of education held in Olympia
Deputy superintendent H. B. Dewey,
inspector of schools, submitted a re-
port on high school course of study
and recommended certain notifications
which were adopted by the state board
as follows:
F'irst-The establishment of an Eng
lish course, covering four years. This
course differs but slightly from the
scientific course. In this course no
foreign language is required and Eng
lish is required each year.
Second-In those schools which are
not properly equipped to teach chem
istry the superintendent was author
lied to approve courses of study in
which chemistry was omitted and
physics given as fourth year study
Third-Provision was made for alter
mating subjects to be taught in small
schools.
Fourth-Physical geography may be
given either as one-semester Or a
two-semester course, as determined by
the principal of the high school
Fifth-The superintendent was au-
thorized to approve courses of study
not in strict conformity to the pre-
scribed course when in his judgment
the conditions were such as to render
such action advisable, subject to the
approval of the state board at it's next
meeting.
