The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1906-09-22

tractive women In the streets, who walk
proudly, and whose eyes fash a fire..
that speaks eloquently Of a naughty
spirit behind them. There are Jesgs
from the ghetto, Bohemians from the
Czech quarter, and proud Hungarians,
who talk their native tongue vocifer-
ously, cOntemptuous Of the German
speech which the emperor would i'm
pose upon them. Here Is Slav ped
dlec who has bound his feet with strips
OF cloth In lieu of shoes. There are
vegetable hucksters, resembling those
whom we saw in the South, carrying
theif produce in baskets which they
balance upon their heads A sausage
seller who has set up shop on corner
Is selling frankfurts to customers, who
eat them on the spot.
It takes three hours and half by ex-
press train to reach Linz from Vienna,
and three hours more to reach Salz-
burg. The train passes through gentle
woodland scenery and then dashes into
region Of chateaus and ruined castles.
1t lines the imposing monastery at
Melk, leaves the valley of the Danube
temporarily, and passes the city of
Ems, individualized by its detached
tower, which was built with the ransom
which was paid by England for Rich
ard the Lion Hearted to Duke Leopold
VI. who kept the English monarch a
prisoner at Durrenstein for fifteen
months. Salzburg Is noted as being the
birthplace Of the great composer Mo-
Fart. The journey to Munich takes a
little over three hours by fast train.
Munich Is the birthplace of beer, and
is called the songbird Of Germany. One
Bavarian king after another has lavish
ed his wealth upon the city, which to-
day is an art center Of Importance.
Aside from the magnificent art gal
leries, the central point Of visitation
here is the famous Hofbrauhaus, In the
Pratzl, where the Kaiser Wilhelm al
ways comes when he visits Munich, and
stands in line with common men wait
ing his turn for mug Of beer.
The American girl in Munich is one
of the joys Of the place. She comes
here to study music and art, and learn
German. When she first arrives she Is
attracted by the gorgeous uniforms and
clanking swords of the military Off
GERS.
But when she meets one Of these
same Apollos on narrow sidewalk
and with one strong sweep Of his arm
he shoves her into the street so as not
to get his shiny boots dirty, her pride
goes down like mercury in December.
It is to the credit Of Miss Columbia
that she never finds her proper place
as mere woman when she Is In Ger
man community. She never becomes
reconciled to seeing members OF her
sex as human pack horses, especially
IL beside a peasant woman who car
ries an enormous load upon her back
there walks husky husband, her legal
master, who saunters along smoking,
un;ncumbered. An American matrOn
has no use for the German husband
who let's his wife tote the baby while
he swings his cane carelessly, staring
at every pretty woman that he meets.
When Lewis l. wished to build the
Siegesthor, or gate of victory, In token
of the valor of the Bavarian troops, he
took the arch to Constantine at Rome
for his model, adapting it to Munich's
Individual need by GROWING it with an
enormous figure Of Bavaria that stands
in a quadriga drawn by bronze lions.
The reliefs upon its sides show victo-
ries of Bavaria.
