SEISMOGRAPHIC POETRY.

Seisnography has not done half as much toward
developing the earth waves as the quake has done
toward developing poets. Earthquake poems come
with every tremor, whether it be in Greece or
California They appear with the hottest of hot
heads and the coldest-and lamest-feet; they
are built on uneven lines, for no hand could stay
the quvering ideas that flow to the pencil point
and record the poetcal vibrations caused by inde-
fnabe mental shocks
One earthquake poet says:
Seated upon her seven hills
The golden West has felt the thrills"
He meant well but he did not go far enough
He does not say whether the thrill caused cher"
to arise and go to the country or whether she
made up her mind to sit it out till every hill was
PROSTATE. Perhaps later on the key to the verse
will be forthcoming. Another of the clan seized
his pen by the middle and struck off
Right here between the sky and sea
We saw the city groan and die"
His second stanza goes at it rough-shod, and,
though it may not be fair play to say so, the in
ference is that he took to one of the seven hills
with his friend at this stage of the funeral and
waited for the angel Gabriel for he rhymes on:
Then haste away, the terror spreads,
The flames grow wild, the earth grows hot,
The tattered dawn is torn to shreds
What curse has fallen on this spotr'
There the inspiration died The poet admits it
when he says:
Then all the world to me was blank
No man can appreciate an earthquake poets
mental and physical condition under such extraor-
binary circumstances, but his sufferings must have
been excruciating as his verse There is no rea-
sonable for his effort to divide his ills and his
pains with the world at large and San Francisco
in particular

THE OLD AND THE NEW.

d
work tearing down the walls of the Palace Hotel.
The derrick and the steam winch will lift aside the
twisted steel girders and drag down the stout
sonry. While there is rejoicing that a splendid
monument to the courage and loyalty of the Sharons
is to be erected in its place. there few of who
will not feel pang of sorrow on seeing the grand
old building that had for so many years been our
pride leveled to the ground That is the sentimental
side of it, and sentiment with of the West is
something that is cherished.
Commercially the rebuilding of the new Palace
Hotel is going to be of tremendous moment to this
city The name of the famous caravansary is
notest parts of the globe 1t was the Mecca of
many a traveller from the Indies, from Northern
and Southern Europe the South the North and the
Far East. That it shall rise again more magnih-
cent than is inspiring, more than encouraging,
for in its vast tiers we will see the marks Of the
evolution OF new period in our history. Fate or
daned that the old Palace should be humbed in its
ashes and that the new should rise even more
proudly than the old 1t is the immutable law of
progression
The rebuilding of the Palace Hotel will be but one
OF the great achievements of the people of San Fran
cisco. The stones of once imposing structures had
scarcely grown cold when was there to recon-
struct that which had been destroyed One hun
dred years ago the task of repairing the appalling
damage that has been done this city would have
been regarded impossible. To remove the debris
alone would have made our sturdy and determined
ancestors vince, much as they would have gone to
the task with unbounded energy and toed to
show their courage. In these days massive ma
chnery, railroads and all that goes to make up pro-
gressive civilization is at hand to do the work of
rebuilding and do it quickly.
When critics say with rash insistency that San
Francisco cannot be rebuilt within ten or fifteen
years, they should study the case of the Palace
two or three years, better and larger structure
than it before. When one takes into consid-
Grafton that there are hundreds of men in San
Francisco with the Sharon spirit, born of pioneer
days, and that these will do Just as the Shar-
ons doing, the thought of slow growing city
will surely perish All the world wonders at our
pluck and determination, and we have only Just
begun to give them an example of both.

The ScandlnavIans IN America
Herbert n. Casson has an article on
THE Scandinayians In America" In
the current issue of Munsey's Maya
zine. II Is short and gives a truly
fiattering statement Of the Scandina-
Wan population in this country. and
especially Minnesota. Each OF the
three scandinavian nations is given
separate mention, in which the nation
al traits are described and the leading
men are named. OF the Danes il Is
said
The Danes are a peace-loving. good
natured people. You Will search
through many public institution be-
fore you find one. They are seldom
winners OF the big prizes in the race
for wealth. not because they lack
force, but because their energies are
used for higher things, Their bumps
OF acquisitiyeness are low.
The Norwegiaus get this bouquet
Next come the high-spirited Nor
wegians. They number about twice
as many a. the Danes and two-thirds
a. many az the Swedes No race
makes nobler type Of American than
these proud, free-natured people. In
the isolated valleys OF their homeland
they have learned to be independent of
authority
They think their own thoughts and
live their own lives. They have
fought for centuries with the noun
tains and the sea and finally have de-
yeloped type Of national character
which all the world respects In the
cold. clear air of Norway the germ Of
sevility sickens and dies.
And the third branch OF the family
gets this
Passing on to the Swedes, we find

whom were born in Sweden. Next TO
Stockholm, Chicago has more Swedes
/ than any other city in the world. New
York has nearly 50, 900. as many as its
total population century ago. And
Minneapolis has 40. 600 or more. 1t is
a simple fact, and not fiattery, to say
that prosperity follows the Swedes.
They are not lazy and seldom un-
skilled. They mix brains and muscle.
No people produces smaller proper
ton Of drudges and kickers. They 90
at their work with vim and cheerful
ness, whether the pay enveope be thick
or thin.
In conclusion the writer sums mp all
the praise for the subject Of this article
in the following Mandatory climax
"Such are the Scandinavians 1.-The
artistic Danes, the practical Swedes,
and independent Norwegians. They
have won the highest respect from all
other Americans, by deserving It,.
They are honest, Industrious, whole
