MISTAKES IN CLASSIFICATION.

Many birds frequentlng flowers for
honey or insects are thus liable TO get
their heads covered with pollen. And
since the pollen OF different flowers
varies i'm color a bird may become yell
low-headed, red-headed. blue-headed.
etc.
This led To a curious mistake in the
case Of New Zealand bird. The bird
was a honeysuc<er and a hunter Of
flowers. Now in the early summer il
visited most frequently the flowers o.
the native flax and later in the year
fed chiefly on the fuchsia. The pollen
o. the former is red and Of the latteS
blue. Hence in early summer the bird
appeared with a red head and was
named the red-headed honeyseeker.
But when later in the year Il went
10 the fuChsia its head was stained
blue. and it was called the blueheaded
hOneyseeker. Thus for a long time
this bird was thought to be two dis
tinct species and only recently was Il
found that the red-headed and the
hlue-headed were one and the same.
and the real color ~ the head was
blackish brown.-LOndon Globe.

PHOENIX PARK.

To the Editor Of The Republican:
Sir: Phoenix needs a park. a place
for popular recreation and which
beauties aided by the scientific and ar
tistic craft Of the landscape gardner
We need a park containing objects Of
interest to instruct and amuse our peo-
pie. such as an aviary with numerous
birds Of brilliant plumage. an aqua
rum, an artificial lake with row boats
swings. merry-go,round and other
attractive things to make the resort
complete.
Every one with natural and simple
tastes admires flowers, green lawns
and ornamental and shade trees. but
in addition, there is more demanded
and which can be called the human
element: we want an attractive resort
where We can come in cantact with our
fellow beings; where We can listen TO
the merry laughter of the happy chill
dren. enjoy the sweet smiles of our
lovely ladies. gladden. our eyes with the
sight OF the feathered songsters in the
aviary. look at the trotters the bicy-
clists. automobilists. enjoy the merry
glee OF the masses and the exhilirating
music and dancing.
a mere park with some shade trees
and plenty Of fresh air would not be
sufficient \ distinguished writer
said that it is seldom that we find one
who is satisfied To hold communion
with nature in her visible forms. al
though she speaks a various language.
He was right. the voice of nature US
ually requires an interpreter. either
because our ears are full or because
the dialect is somewhat obscure. I'm
less we be artists or poets. We tire
very soon o. nature in its pristine and
original forms. and. while we admit
that there are sermons in stones and
brooks, as eCclesiastic scholars point
out we. however. turn from brooks
and sermons 10 something more tangi-
BILE and possessing a more direct and
personal interest.

in more than one way. II would save

sums Of money spent abroad during

Bonaparte that the big copper cOmpa

without foundation. There is no such
organization as the Northeastern Met

To Stop Bleeding.

The country boy knows that the fine
dust of the brown fungi he calls puff
balls will stop bleeding. When he cuts
himself he hunts for one of these if the
cut is not serions
If the cut is deep it is wise to battle it
in warm water with earbolie In il or a
tablet of chloride of mercury dissolved
in the water. Carefully remove all for
eign matter in the washing and then.
pinching the lips Of the cit together, put
on strips of adhesive plaster Be sure
and leave little spaces for pus to run out.
This running of pus is a natural process
and is not alarming unless persistent and
the pus comes in unreasonable quaint
ties.
Sometimes the blood flows so rapidly
that you cannot close the wound with
plaster. II SO tie a bandage tightly

GOV. HOGGATT AND THE ALAS
 KAN PRESS

Major Harrlson3 editor of the Alaska Yukon Magazine, thinks the press of Alaska is not treating Gov. Hoggatt with justice. h the last issue of his magazine he reads Northern editors 8 lecture for what 1t pleases him 10 call their disposition "lo abuse" the gov ernor. Among other things, he says
 '"yhy not concede that Gov. Hoggatt ya no less honest and tair-minded now thar he was before his appointment as governor of the district of Alaska. do not believe that his views on the sub feet of territorial government accord with the views of the majority of the people Of the district but 1t will not hurt the advocates Of territorial government, nor will it injure their cause, to admit that Governor Eoggatt is sn honest, sincere gentleman, and doing what he deems best for thls vast, new and wonderfully vigorous country"
 Major Harrison has missed the point, Tho newspaper of Alaska have no objection to Gov. Hoggast's thinking on the question of territorial govern ment as he pleases. The papers and the people of Alaska are now and have always been ready to admit that there are a few people in Alaska who oppose Hslf-governmens for the District be- sEuss their conscience and judgment direct them to do so,

nIR. HAHNs INTERVIEW ANn
 TEzE WATER QUESTION

Mr. gHahn's interview yesterday In the Daily Alaskan makes it plain that the city council is not confined to one solution Of the water and light problem which it is considering. He indicates that che city could probably protect itself against the possibility of being burdensd with an expensive water and light service for many years without great cost to the taxpayers.
 Is would cost, relatively speaking, very little to Increase the water supply Ip tbe north end Of the town for tho mains of the municipality. For instance it has been estimated by Char man MoGrash, of the water-work5 com mlstee, that s2,COO would connect the oIty's spring st Nineteenth avenue with the spring at the shops from which the supply is secured now. Others have made the estimate lower than that This would moro than double the pres. ent supply and 1T necessary another reservoir could be erected to double the storage capacity to be drawn on in oass oF Hrs or r0ther2mergenCy,
 With a contract that would protect the city against the possibility of a raise Iu the charge for pumping water for the city mains and a guarantee of 8 reasonable rate for electric lights, the city council is not necessarily bound to purchase the Northwest Light & Power Conpany's business Ia order 10 put the city in 8 safe and secure petition. If it decides that the purchase of that cougany's plant would be 8 burden to the town and interfere with It's ability to maintain the schools, the fire department and other branches of the city government, and prevent street improvement ard the fruitIou oI pro- jecssd plans to guard against the en- croschuenJ of the Skagway river, as is contended by the opponents Of the proposition, the whole matter can be passed up, and the city'a interests would still be safe; provided of course, the railroad coTpany would make such 8 contract as one would infer rom Mr. Hshn's interview that it would.
 While this plan would not mean 8 completely ci,y-owued water system, it would be 8 practicable substitute for one at a small cost. At any rate, 1t is worthy Of investigation by the city council.
 h the meantime there are other plans which have been sugges,ed-sucf ga the tapping of the skagway river the pumping of the city water by hydraulic rams, etc-whiCh might bt investigated
