This Is beneficial massage move
ment. 1t should be practiced once a
day at least.
THE third massage movement for
the muscles of the mouth is from the
tip of the chin upward. Place your
fingers upon the tip of your chin so
that three fingers of each hand press
into the flesh. Then gently but firmly
massage upward and outward. Rub
your finger tips from the point of your
chin up to the middle of your cheeks.
This movement makes your cheeks
plump and gives them that babyish
look which is so much admired; that
round, pretty, childish look.

WALKED ON HANDS
FROM TOP MONUMENT
Athlete Collapsed As tie

WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov. "a
(SpeciaD-Max Duffek, OF Ger

of walking on his hands from the top
landing in the Washington monu-
ment to the ground, perpendicular
distance of 500 feet. which extended
to near S25 feet by the stairway Duff

steps in So minutes and 3 seconds,
and established new record for tests

amount with Herr Steinguver, of
Berlin. the latter being represented
yesterday by p Mortizen, who paid
the bet with a certified check on the
National City Bank of New York.
Precisely at p. m. Duffek began
his descent of the Monument steps.
He took off only his oyercoat, wear
ing a regular street suit, derby hat,
high collar, and tie. The first four
flights he descended with the ease
and speed of a pedestrian, but at the
height of 800 feet he removed his
hat, and at $40 feet discarded his
collar and tie

Descent Was Difficult

Approaching the 35O-root landing
Duffek's speed was noticeably slack
ened, and at $40 feet his movement
was already laborious. At $40 feet he
rested his feet against the wall and
was fed a brandy-soaked apple. Half
way on his journey, at 250 feet, he was
in agony, and were it not fer the free
use of ammonia and a drink of bran
dy he might have had to stop. At $50
feet from the ground he faltered again
and his condition was pitiable.
Several women in the crowd want
ed to have him stopped, but no one
volunteered. He was in a stupor at
the .130foot mark, but the stimulants
again revived him. From this on
Duffek's nerve held splendidly until
at so feet he seemed powerless to
continue. His attendants again gave
him ammonia and brandy, which once
more revived him.

NAVAL REVIEW TO
SURPASS ALL OTHERS
Sixteen WarShipS of SpIen-
did Modern Type.

NEW YORK, Nov. -(SpeciaD
From what little we have heard of
the Presidential Naval Review, which
is to take place in Hampton Roads,
on Dec. &c. it will surpass any other
review ever held in American wa
tiers, said an officer of the battle
ship Connecticut, the flagship of the
Atlantic Fleet yesterday.
The news from Washington that
the President had decided to make the
last day Of Admiral Evans's sixteen
battleships in Atlantic home waters
memorable by having them pass him
in review in the great Virginia har-
Dor, created great enthusiasm among
both officers and men, and already
they talk of nothing but getting the
ships ready for the pageant.
The fleet that passed in review be-
fore President Roosevelt on Sept.
3, 1905, at Oyster Bay, numbered more
vessels than will be reviewed on Dec
l6, but it was a vastly inferior fleet
in displacement and armament com
pared to the magnificent line of
modern vessels which the public will
have a chance to see assembled in
Atlantic waters for the last time in
several years, perhaps, a few weeks
hence.
In the review next month, the
ships that will be present and which
were not seen in Oyster Bay are the
connecticut, Georgia, Kansas, Yer
mont, Ohio, and the Minnesota. In
addition to the battleships, there also
will be in the review every one OF
the auxiliaries that will accompany
Admiral Evans to the Pacific Coast

Collapsed at End

From the fifty-foot mark down, Duff
fek seemed almost unconscious, but
he recognized the cheers from the
crowd, which could not be restrained
further. His gait steadied until he
collapsed in front of the elevator at
the end of the most remarkable des-
cent ever made in the Washington
Monument
Dutfek finished within ninety sec
onds OF the time limit of an hour that
was allowed by his wager. He fright
ened the 100 spectators by fainting at
the end of his ordeal, but was greeted
by cheers, which the Monument
guards had difficulty in suppressing.
After Duffek had been thoroughly
revived, he was taken in a cab to a
Turkish bath.

POISON SAID
TO HAVE CAUSED DEATH
Boston CIubman'S Slayer
Used Curdri.

BOSTON, MASS, Nov. 13--(Spe-
ciaD That curari, one of the most
deadly and subtle poisons known to
medical science, caused the death of
Walter Fransworth Baker, the wealthy
Boston clubman, was the startling
announcement made. Traces of this
poison, it was said, had been found
by DR.. William Boos, the chemist of
the Massachusetts General Hospital.
For days Dr. Boos has been max
ing tests to lift the veil of mystery
surrounding the death of Baker, early
on October 81, soon after a ride to
Bogota, N. j., from this city.

Suspect is Watched

Following this statement came
another even more startling-that the
man who had given this poison to
Baker was known and under sur
veillance by detectives. He is said to
have travelled extensively in South
America, where this poison is chiefly
used by the natives, and where he
became learned in the process OF
its manufacture
The arrest of this man is expected
to disclose the whole plot to Stay
Walter F. Baker and to show the
precise motive back of the killing.
DR. .Boos complained that the mixtures
used in the embalming fluid resisted
the reaction of chemicals, and great
ly retarded the work. But, according
to the statement made, the chemist
found traces of this rare poison.
It's action is deadly if given hypo-
dermically or breathed into the
lungs, so that it can reach the
blood and enter the circulation. 1t

Symptoms Don't Show 1t

The significant property of this
poison is that it leaves all the organs
of the body in an apparently healthy
condition, and only by analysis can
the poison be disclosed. An autopsy
would not show it's presence.
Chemists say it will mix readily
with alcoholic drinks, but not with
water. Baker had been drinking on
the night of his death, and doubt
that he was poisoned at all was ex-
pressed, in view of the fact, some
of his symptoms indicated alcohol
ism. These symptoms are con-
sistent, however, with the theory of
murder by the use of curari.

RUSHED TO THE RESCUE

A relief party was last week sent to the rescue of Capt. Walter Woodbridge, who has bee weather-b bound at the Ham Island marble quarries for some time. The captain went out a couple of weeks ago to take care of the steamship Hope which was stranded in e recent severe gale, and as he was known to heve taken but little grub with him, it was thought that his menu has been about as follows:
 Breakfast-Fried seagull eggs, boiled spruce-tips and water;
 Luncheon-Stewed sea breeze, baked icieles, mountain scenery and salt chuck 1;
 D,nner-More seagull eggs, gum boot Ga Ia Delmonico) giblet of crow (with brown gravy) and Mrs. Winslow's sooth- ing syrup. The captain was known to have bottle of the latter beverage.
 We are informed that the government is negotiating for the purchase of the steamer Hope, in order to use her as a revenue cutter. Her speed makes her a very desirable boat for that purpose. It Is no uncommon thing for this steamer to cover the entire distance from here to Ham Island-30 miles-in one day.

PASSED BOGUS CHECK

Jack Price of Ketchikan, languisheth lin durance vile" as a result of having passed worthless check in Wrangell couple of weeks ago.
 When Price was here be ran short of funds, and, wishing to reach Ketchikan, borrowed $45 from J. G. Grant, leaving with MT. Gram cheek on the Ketohi- kan bank for the same amount, signed by himself.
 Jorgen Berg happened to have some money on deposit at the hotel, and as he was going to Ketchikan, took the check to accommodate Mir. Grant. On presenting the check for payment he was told that Price had no money in the bank and that the check was worthless. Jorgen promptly informed MT. Grant, who ewore out warrant for Prices ar- rest. Marshal Grant wired the proper official at Ketchikan, who placed Price under arrest.
 Marshal Grant took the first boat for Ketchikan, and brought the prisoner to Wrangell on the Ramona. Examination was waived and bond of $500 was fix ed. Price being unable to furnish bail, was taken to Juneau and placed in jail to await the action of the grand jury.

EACH SHOULD DO HIS PART

Albert Johnson, broken in health, his limbs stiff with rheumatism and almost helpless, came down from Petersburg last week, and if the people of Wrangell show the proper spirit, will soon be on his way to the hot springs, where he may regain his health and return to his work. Petersburg has set worthy sx. ample by subscribing $75. unsolicited, for the relief of the unfortunate man, and Johnny Grant donates the use of his hall and piano for dance to be held Saturday night, the entire proceeds of which will be given to MT. Johnson.
 MT. Johnson is not a mendicant, but an honest, hard-working man, and is justly entitled to the sympathy and the financial assistance of every healthy, able-bodisd man and boy in Wrangsll. Each should do his part by turning out to this dance and demonstrating that Wrangell is not to bs outdone in extend ing the helping hand to woIthy suf- ferer. "A friend ill need is a friend indeed"

The Ketchikan Miner recently said

The Ketchikan- Miner recently said !: "Jorgen E. Berg, representing the I'm. perial Powder Company, who has been in town for several days, states that he has placed sufficient amount of the stock to warrant the establishment of the powder factory, and all that is now necessary to be done is to secure suit able location. Mir. Murdock, the treas- urer of the company, is expected on the next Jefferson to assist in determining where the factory shall be built, and construction work should be begun with in month. MT. Berg informs us that he has met with much encouragement for the enterprise among mining men and believes there will be a ready mar ket for their product. He also states that by reason of their being able to ship most of the material used in the manu- facture of powder and dynamite as raw material at low freight rates they can put good article on the market at . much cheaper rate than it now costsj owing to the high shipping price of ex- plosive. Another advantage of local factory will be that fresh powder can always be secured"

Ketchikan Miner: "What fine thing 1t is to be thoroughly i'm bued with the idea that the town in which you live is the finest place on earth. That is about the idea Marshal W. D. Grant has of our sister city, Wrrngell, and he will talk by the hour, extolling the many sx- cellsnt points of that place. No one would think of disagreeing with him in the matter and the best way to look at it is to conclude that Grant is a natural born booster. But don't let him begin telling fish stories, or you are apt to conclude that he is something else." A petition has recently been circulated recently, asking congress to make an appropriation for constructing wagon road from the head of Kasaan Bay to Klawack, across Prince of Wales Island. That is good idea, as it would obviats the necessity of making trips around Cape Chacon in many events. The first up-river miner to arrive here this year is Mir. Jackson, who worked on Clearwater two years ago. He is bound for that place now, and will probably be on his way in a week or so. Going in now will enable him to take advantage of the first open weather, and few days sometimes means great deal.
 Walter Waters has the right idea. He has constructed big tank in the rear of his store, at height sufficient to draw upon it in case of fire. He has also put another thickness of rustic on his store building.

 While Marshal Grant was in Juneau last week he was given a pair of moose horns which are thought to be the larg. est extant. A scalp accompanied the horns, and the marshal will have them mounted.

 No less interesting is the fact that the Mongolian skull is generally phaenozy- gous, with its !ygomatic arch nor or less convex. Nevertheless, comparison of the nasal and maximiliary dimensions suggests platyrrhinian. Although the dental arch is hardly what you would call proanathous, the mandble has Q very angular symphysis.
