Mrs Robson and Miss Helene Rob-
son did not sail on the Siberia for Jap
an yesterday as they had expected but
decided about o'clock in the morning
to defer their departure until the 25th.
when they will sail on the Mongolia.
Both Mrs. Robson and Miss Helene are
very tired and the latter has been far
from well of late, so that it was
thought wiser to wait a few weeks for
their trip.-ChrOniCle.

THINKS ANGUS FAMILY SAFE.

The receipt of the cablegram from
Mrs j. K. Brown at Oakland stating
that she is safe is taken as a favorable
indication by the Angus boys. In a
recent letter received was stated that
their mother and two sisters, Misses
Myra and Jean, in company with Mrs.
Brown were stopping at 1.1O4 Suffer
street. If Mrs. Brown is safe it is
probable that the Angus family es-
capped also.

surgeons delicacy of touch-for in

machinists trade demands to give the
excellent work and the Interchangeable
ity of parts found in the modern rifle
or sewing machine. The range of his
work is from a needle to a battleship:
from automatic machinery that would
talk French had it one more movement
to measuring machines guaranteed not
to vary more than the fifty -thousandth
part of an linen from the absolute. This
precision will perhaps be better appre-
ciated when it is remembered that $50
times this limit of variation is only
equal TO the diameter of the average
human hair. Standard plug and ring
gauges, to take a specific example. are
so accurately fitted TO each other that
the expansion due to the warmth of the
hand, if the plug be held in it for a few
moments, will make it impossible to in
sert the plug in the ring; while, if the
ring be expanded in the same way, the
plug will drop clear through it.
When the machinist has become skill
full enough to fulfill the above require
ments, he may receive from $3.50 per
day up to whatever he can make him
self worth and prove it,
