that will not brook defeat. Years ago when the Lake Washington Canal was first projected and an. appropriation from congress asked, which was soppos- ed by other sections of the then terri tory of Washington, they tried to se- cure the nomination of a. republican candidate as delegate to congress fav- orable to their project, failing in which, they threw almost the ,unani- nous support of King county (strong- ly republican, to Charles s.

THE STORMY PETREL.
A Naturaiist's Efforts to Discover the
Secret of Its Flight.

A naturalist visiting Algeria bought
from a sailor four captive stormy pet
rels. They weighed about 1.65 pounds
apiece. Their wings were five inches
wide and had spread of four feet. The
ability of the petrol to breast the most
furious storms has been universally ad-
mired. Its name is derived from its pow
er of walking on the waves, like the apos-
tie Peter, and its courage and strength
in planting its footsteps on the crests OF
the most tempestuous sea have given a
text to many writers. The naturalist.
wishing TO release his captive petrels,
threw one of them into the air. 1t
tried to fly, but fell headlong, went
crashing against stone wall and bat
tered out its brains. He took the Sec
ond petrol to an upper story and
launched it from window; but, hav-
ing no initial velocity, it, too, fell like
a stone. The third bird he took to the
top of an observatory and pushed it
out into space 1t tapped its wings
desperately, but nevertheless lunged
downward and broke its wings against
a post.
The naturalist was now convinced
that the stormy petrel's feats at sea are
made possible because it first gets up
momentum by running along the top
of the water. Wishing to give the re-
naming bird a chance TO demonstrate
his theory, he took ii out into a desert
like plain bare of grass, smooth as the
surface Of a calm sea. Here" the nat
uralist reports Il set my fourth petrol
down. 1t squatted at first and then
turned with its beak to the wind and
its wings outstretched and started run
ing, beating its wings, not hampered
by any heritage. 1t ran q hundred
yards, carrying its weight less and less
on its feet and finally all on its wings.
but all the time Swimming the ground.
At last with single bound, catching
the wind, the petrol rose sixty feet, CT
reened around and few past me Over
head and glanced at me on its way.
as if to say, Success in fight is all
based upon momentum. - Harold
Boice in EyerybOdy'S.

LIGHTNING.
Tho Mystic Fluid Has Been Known TO
Cure as Well as to Kill.

Tho Mystic Fluid Has Been Known TO
Cure as Well as to Kill.
A peculiar feature of lightning when
attacking human being is that it is
known to cure as we'll as to kill In
one instance a man who was para
lyzed on one side of his body from
childhood was struck by a thunder
bolt, and after remaining insensible
for twenty minutes he recovered
with the full use Of all of his members.
Another case was that of an invalid
in one of the Austrian hospitals who
was lucky enough to stand in the way
Of an atmospheric spark and was en-
abled without delay to leave the hos
pital perfectly well.
A similar occurrence took place on
the passenger packet boat New York
when person who had been hopeless
ly paralyzed for great many years
was struck by lightning. He was SO
astonished to find himself cured that
he ran about the deck like a mailman
and was so crazed with joy that the
rest of the passengers believed him to
have become mentally unbalanced I'M
til they learned the cause of his exu-
berance.
The cases where persons have bene-
flied by a visit from this heavenly
power are too numerous to mention,
as in a number of cases they have lost
their deafness or regained their eye
sight and in some cases their mental
balance. and lightning really proves
fatal in few cases in comparison to
the number of people it touches each
year. If we could provide way by
which we would not get an overdose
Of this most wonderful fluid, lightning
would undoubtedly prove to be the
long sought elixir of life, but the diff
Guilty arises in it's being beyond our
control.-Denver Post.

DRAWS LESSON FROM
EXAMPLE OF ISAIAH
Mr.. Shannon Discusses "a
Man With Vision.
REVIVAL AT U. B. CHURCH.

Mr. Shannon's second theme in the
series of meetings being held in the U.
B. church was "A Man with Vision"
He spoke in part as follows: 1t is
we'll for one to have a glimpse of bet
ter things. We need to catch some
thing of the spirit of what lies be-
yond and within us as well as of what
lies around us. One should seek to
find conditions that will give him
clearer light and extend his horizon
This man, Isaiah, was in sight of the
glory of God revealed. The condi-
lions were favorable for retrospective.
prospective and retrospective views
His first vision led to the discovery of
himself, and when he discovered him
self in the true light-saw himself as
he was, he had but little to say in his
own favor. but he did say, Woe is
me, for l am undone, l am man of
unclean lips" Many persons have
located themselves and will acknowl-
edge their findings. 1t is easy to get
us to confess the sins of others, but
that does but little good. AS soon as
Isaiah made his confession he received
help from heaven He that covereth
his sins shall not prosper, but he that
confesseth and forsaketh them shall
have mercy" Sin unconfessed is sin
unforgiven. When he discovered him
self and acknowledged the situation he
then saw his community in it's true
condition. Up to this time he proba-
bly, thought very we'll of himself and
his neighbors. Light does not make
us worse, but it does reveal the impur-
ity. AS soon as he was purified he
was called to go to his own people and
at once replied by saying "ehold me-"
or look me over and see if I'll do"
Meetings are being held daily at 2:3O
p. m. and 1880 p. m. Mr. Shannon
speaks at each meeting and Mr.. Ew-
ard sings. The public is invited to
bring bibles and note books and ask
any questions desired along the lines
of thought discussed.

FINDS NEW LETTERS
FROM MRS. HARTJ
Sensational Development May
Reopen.
HUSBAND NOW CONFIDENT.

Pittsburg, Oct. S-Very little of a
definite nature is known here regard
ing the sensational developments in
the Hartje divorce case which are al
legged by the woman's husband, All
gustus Hartie, the millionaire paper
manufacturer of this city.
The confession which Thomas Ma
dine, the coachman correspondent, is
said to have made to Mr.. Hartje's
representatives has created pro-
found impression. 1t was learned to-
day that Nadine was married recent
ly and is now in Belfast, Ireland, with
his wife. 1t is said Nadine intends to
make that place his permanent home.
The petition to the supreme court
results, it is said upon the discovery OF
a package Of letters alleged to have
been written by the two sisters of Mrs.
Hartje and Thomas Nadine, the object
being to show that Mrs. Hartje was
guilty of the charges of intimacy
brought against her by her husband.
These letters of Mrs. Hartjes sisters
are alleged to contain damaging admis-
sions. Much documentary evidence and
a confession is alleged, have been Sc
cured from Nadine.
Within a short time. it is promised.
still greater sensation than that
which came to light this morning, will
be made public by Mrs. Hartje's coun-
sell
