sciatica Cured After Twenty Years o
Torlure.

Formo than twenty years Mr.. J. Il Massey,
of Sfs2 Clinton St, Minneapolis. Mimi, was
tortured by sciatica. The pain and suffering
which he endured during this time is beyond
comprehen ion. Nothing gave him any per-
manent relief until he used Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. One application of that liniment
relieved the pain and made sleep and rest pos
sibie. and less than one bottle has effected a
permanent cure. If troubled with sciatica or
rheumatism why not try a 25-cent bottle OF
Pain Ba'm and see for yourself how quickly it
relieves the pain.

the case on behalf OF the county and
of his brief statement in the ISLANDER
last week in reply to the article sent
to Bellingham paper by Mr.. Gar
rett. If Mr.. Wynn cares to make
any reply to Mr.. Gan rett's arraign-
ment he will be afforded an oppor-
tunity 10 do so, but the matter is
hardly of sufficient Importance to
justify much further newspaper dis
cussion of it.
EDITOR SAN JUAN ISLANDER:
In a prominent place on the first page
of the last issue of the ISLANDER, appears
an article which purports to give express
sion to certain exceptions taken by the
prosecuting attorney of this county, to an
article quoted thel elm from the Belling-
ham Herald, and referring to the late de-
cision of the supreme court in the Jensen
wharf matter. While my connection with
this matter is solely that of an attorney,
it seems to me tLat the statement in your
paper should be corrected.
In the article mentioned this county of
fetal characterizes the statement in the
Herald .'that it stands admitted on behalf
of the Board that the acts in granting the
Jensen lease were irregular and void," as
"a ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE" Later on, in
the same article, the same official ac-
knowledges making the admission ''that
the acts of the Board were irregular and
void, but he says that he made such adj
mission only For THE PURPOSES OF Ar
GUMENT. In brief, we are to understand
from the prosecuting attorney of this
county that the use Of an ABsOLUTE UN-
TRUTH is ju> tilted for the purposes OF ar
eument. submit that this is truly AN
extraordinary doctrine to emanate from
county official, and very much mistake
the character of the people OF this county
II they will lend their approval to it.
Now. as to the circumstances under
which this admission was made. Mr.. O..
Il. WHILST, one Of the best known Of the
Younger members Of the Seattle bar who
vas present during the nearing OF this
appeal in the supreme court and made
argument in the case, declares that Prose-
cnfine Attorney Wynn. before the SUI
preme court and in the presence of mem-
hers thereof and of Mr.. Gayot, deputy
clsrk, admitted that the commissioners
had attempted to lease the end OF the
street and because Of such fact, the entire
proceeding was void. He further states
that there was no Limitation Of qualificar
ton to the admission whatever. This fact
can be further substantiated if necessary.
It may he stated further that it was not
questioned by opposing counsel in either
his brief or argument. that the acts Of the
board were void.
It viii thus be seem that the legal repre-
sentative Of the county Of San Juan. IN
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1906-08-04

the presence of the supreme court of the
state, made the exact admission which
appeared in the Herald, and to which he
now complains, and that he made it not
for the purpose, of argument. as he would
have the public believe, but for the SIM
pie reason that he was confronted with
the facts of record-a recital in detail of
errors and Irregularities which compelled
such admission. That such admission
was very much in order is clear from the
following specifications of vital defects
disclosed in the records in this case and of
the proceedings Of the board of coanty
commissioners. These are open to the
public inspection, and can be seen by any
one caring to investigate. give them in
detail that the public may not be deceived
as to their real character and materiality,
and that the public may Judge as to the
nature of the victory arising from the
supreme cOuit decision and determine to
whom the credit belongs.
IRREGULARITY No.
The application is a jurisdictional pa
per. It must be in compliance with law.
The statute required the applicant to set
forth in his application description Of
the premises to he leased, and facts show
ing that it would be in the public interest
to do so. (Section 4l4l, 4l42, 4l43 Pierce's
Code.l The only description given in the
ensen application was ''the north end Of
Spring street, in the town of Friday Har-
Dor, tno county or state mentiOned) and
the ti.e lands in front of same, for the
purpose of erecting . wharf thereon
Then, to meet the requirements Of statute
as setting forth facts showing the public
interest, we have the following: s.Feeling
that the commissioners should treat all of
the Friday Harbor merchants alike with
reference to wharf privileges" In brief,
the board Of county commissioners are
asked to intervene and to examine into
the question as to whether or not one
merchant possesses wharf privileges SUI
perior to thlt of another. It is clear that
the application in this case was fatally de-
fective, both In the matter Of description
and as to showing of public interest, and
no further comment is necessary. The
prosecuting attorney was understood to
have prepared this extraordinary appli-
cation.
IRREGULARITY No. 2
There was no proper or sufficient notice
published. Section E43 of Pierce's Code
provides that the notice to be posted
''shall designate and describe the property
which is to be leased, together with the
Improvements thereon and appnrtenan-
ces thereto.n The notice in this case gives
the same description Of property as set
forth in the application, so fails in every
essential to comply with the law. It is
understood that tho notice was prepared

THE editor of the ISLANDER is in
~ receipt of a letter from well
known citizen of East Sound which
seems to reflect what we understand
to be the public sentiment there con-
cerning the disposition of a body
found on North beach last Saturday.
He says:
''Will you please inform the UNDER
signed, for the benefit of himself and
neighbors and the readers of your paper,
whether the coroner has the right to Gre
maze body when found sfloat or on the
beach. The people of East Sound and
vicinity are very much opposed to such
barbarous treatment of the human body.
We have county that is able and will
ling to give human remains, when found
in this condition, decent burial, out Of
consideration for the feelings of relatives
or friends and to aid Identification in case
of inquiry"
There is no statute which expressly
confers any such authority upon COR
oners or under which such authority
may be even implied, unless it may
be on the theory that circumstances
may and in fact often do arise when
the exact manner of discharging an
official duty must be left to the judg-
ment and discretion of the officer.
The only express statutory provi-
sion relative to the disposition of un-
claimed bodies is the following:
I'm all cases where no demand for the
body for burial shall be made by friends
of the deceased, the coroner shall provide
for such burial at an expense not exceed
ing seventy-five dollars, to be paid by the
estate of the deceased, if it be sufficient"
: The East Sound case is the third
one within the past two years dis
posed Of by DR.. Wright as coroner by
burning. The body of 'sFrench
Frank, which came ashore on
Browns island, in the harbor here,
in a very bad state of decomposition,
was cremated on the beach, by order
OF the coroner, and the same disposi-
sition was made some months before
that Of the body Of an unknown
Chinaman found on the shore Of Sucia
island. r

Plant COmpasses

THE means of telling north from south by
Il the bark on a tree IS already well-knOwn
to the average person; yet few seem TO be
which may be termed almost infallible guides
These are the 'compass-plants, so-called.
The most common one Is the rosin-weed.
The discovery of the cOmpass-plant ~ was
first made in 1912 by a company of western
pioneers, and in the following year Major Al
word of the United States army made a report
in which he verified the statements of the dis
coverers, and at last the cOmpasS-plant was
duly classified and recorded.
Several theories have been advanced to ex-
plain why the leaves of this plant are attracted
to the poles; for they stand perpendicularly
with their faces to the east and the west. and
their edges to the north and the south. But
It remained for Dr. Asa Gray TO give true
explanation. This was that both sides of
the leaf being similarly constructed, and both
equally sensitive TO light, both sides would
therefore make an equal struggle for sunlight,
causing each leaf to twist upon the stalk until
it became perpendicular. thus exposing one
side as much as the other. Further micro
scopic examinations proved the truth of
these deductions.
Nature lovers Will find II pleasing study
to examine this plant, the rosin-weed, and
personally collect data upon the subject If
the plant mentioned is not 70 be found. select
for the experiments instead the common gar
den lettuce, which if allowed to 90 to seed.
Will be seen to pOslt the leaves along its stalk
directly north and south.

MEANING OF THIRD
BRYAN RUN,

Free silver is passed Bryan's third
nomination would probably be made
without the slightest platform rec
ognition of it. He would doubtless
run on home policies not far differ
ent from those which President
Roosevelt is actually carrying out,
and foreign policies which would
have been in line with republican
ideas before the Spanish war. Bryan's
views on corporation and municipal
ownership are not far enough away
from Hearsts so that he would de-
serve to lose much of the so-called
Hearst strength. Mr. Bryan is per-
sonally clean man. At least his
easy defeat in 1903 cannot be as
sumed as a foregone conclusion
