INSURANCE RATES.

Property owners have BY this time
become generally aware that fire in
surance rates have been increased
throughout the coast states. 25 per
cent. Practically the only exceptions
to this increase are sawmill proper
ties, properties protected by automatic
sprinklers, and long term risks, such
as dwellings, school houses, etc, but
does the insuring public know that
the leading fire insurance company
of the Pacific northwest continues to
write at the old rates, and that its
policy holders have 25 to 40 per cent.
OF their premiums returned to them
in dividends? The Northwestern Mu-
tual Fire Association of Seattle is
making such saving for over II, 900
policy holders. If you have prop
erty which is up to the standard ac-
cepted by this company it will GER
tainly be to your advantage to inves-
tigate its proposition through its local
representative, Mr.. j. w. King. 40

without Counting.

Archbishop Temple was noted for
lis mathematical ability. A peculiar
ity of his power. not i'll computation or
analysis, but in the ability to see a
definite number of objects without ac-
tually counting them in the ordinary
sense, is mentioned in Mr.. Sandford's
memoirs of the archbishop. Everybody
sees three objects, not as one and one
and one but as three. Most people
can see four; some see five and even
six. Many of those who think they
simply see six would discover if they
observed the process carefully that they
really make Il quick count. But DIR.
Temple certainly saw higher numbers.

once. How many sheep in that tield?"

Once he saw thirteen. | think these

the same process with him to see nine
or ten volumes in n bookshelf as it
was with me to see even five. Given
time, without counting, he saw larger
numbers.

Derivation of "whit, Sunday.

A perennial problem is that about the
etymology of Whit Sunday, and the
supporters of Whitsunday could speak
more confidently with their Anniversaries
If they remembered that the Welsh call
the anniversary "Sulgwyn," which
means white SUM- This title pre-
serves the Druidic tradition that the
sun about this time turns white. Nc
doubt the old British belief arose from
the peculiar white glare of the sunlight
reflected from the hawthorn blossoms,
which must have been far more frap-
pant when south Britain was one vast
forest and a thorn fence formed the
fertilization of every village. The pa
gan festival of the White Sun possibly
developed into the "Whitsun AleS."-

FISHES ARE SENSITIVE.
And Yet, Apparently. They Are Not
Capable of Suffering Pain.

All fishes have nerves, and i'll some
respects fishes are extremely sensitive.
a fish that has buried itself in saad OF
mud so completely that ouly the tip of
its tail fin is above the bottom will feel
even the slightest touch and instantly
dart out of its sandy bed. y fish is
very sensitive to movements in the wal
ter surrounding it. y shadow falling
upon the water will startle fish into
flight But sensitive as fishes are in
some respects. it is probable that they
do not suffer pain from injuries re-
ceived.
Fishes are extremely sensitive at the
nose. a fish that had in pursuit of
prey run its nose against a rock might
shake its head violently. perhaps in
pain. but fishes sustain serious injuries
from actual wounds without showing
any indication of pain. In fact, the
indications tend to show that they do
not suffer.
A fish that has been hooked by an
angler, but has escaped, perhaps carry
ing off hook in it's mouth, may a few
minutes afterward bite again at an
other hook. Such instances are not in
frequent. In such cases the hook would
probably be concealed by the bait and
the fish would not be likely to see it,
but the fact that it is ready to take the
bait shows that it is continuing to
feed, which it would scarcely be likely
to do if it were suffering great pain.
A shark from whose body all the Wis
cera had been removed has continued
to feed
Sensitive as fishes are about the nose,
many of them use the nose in pushing
stones and gravel about in building a
nest for the female to spawn in. The
salmon VIGOROUSLY often wears it's
snout down to the bone in eXcavating
a cavity for a nest, and often 1t wears
off its tail to a mere stub in brushing
out stones and gravel. Yet such fishes
frequently recover from their injuries
and return to the ocean.
Timid and sensitive as fishes are in
some respects, they fight one another
vigorously. In such fights they may re-
ceive injuries that might he described
as terrible. To these injuries they may
pay so little attention that after the
fight is over they go on with their feed
ing or with whatever occupation they
had been engaged in.
Injuries which would throw human
being into state of helplessness do not
interrupt the current of fish life. The
fish may afterward die from its inju-
,ries, but apparently it does not suffer
pain from them.
Fishes sometimes survive injuries of
n remarkable character. The stomach
of captured Goldfish was found to be
pierced by spine of founder which
it had swallowed. The sharp. thornlike
