Alaska: th. erea. and Rich.
COLORADO.

Alaska's extreme breadth from east
to west is 1900 miles in an air line.
According to Prof. Guyot, a recognized
authority on all geographic matters,
the Island of Attu, in Alaska, is as far
west OF San Francisco as the coast OF
Maine is east OF that city: or, in other
words. San Francisco is the great
middle city between the extreme east
and west of the United States. says
Jay Monroe Latimer in Metropolitan
Magazine, fact which is very diff
cult for the eastern minds TO grasp.
The breadth of Alaska from north to
south is 1.400 miles. Now about the
coast line! According to the United
States coast survey the shore line of
Alaska. up and down the bays and
around the islands, measures $4,000
miles. or two and one.half times that
of the Atlantic and Pacific coast line
of the remaining portion OF the United
States. The coast OF Alaska. II eN-

subliminal Impersonations.

what we need to make the hypothesis
or secondary personality perfectly ap-
p1cable In the case is more KNOWLEDGE
OF Its nature and laws of action. 1t is
all very well to use it to explain phe-
| nomena which we have no reason TO
oeneVe are consciously fraudulent and
which are not evidential of the super
normal Dut we require to meet the re-
sponslpllltles which every man assumes
when ne presents an hypothesis. We
must be able to apply it to details con-
sistently with the known facts and to
give satisfactory evidence that it is
true. we have not yet determined the
nature and limits of secondary person
ality, and cannot do more than appeal
10 1t as a precaution against haSty
credul1ty In more difficult theories until
we have subjected it to a more thor
ough investigation. From what we
know of the work of DR.. Boris Sidis in
psychopathology and of DIR. Morton
Prince in the same field, especially in
the Beauchamp case, we may we'll en-
terta1n large extension of the capac1-
ties OF subliminal representation But
in none of these cases of the psychia-
trist, have they reached the kind OF
realism and dramatic play which char
acterizes such instances as we are
studying, and hence whatever value
secondary personality may have for
putting limitations on SpiritiSm it will
not be a universal solvent until we
know more about it, So much we may
as we'll frankly admit and demand the
means and opportunities for studying
it adequately. It's weaknesses, how
ever, will be no excuse for accepting the
alternative hypothesis, which may
seem more difficult of belief than the
more familiar phenomena of abnormal
psychology. The utmost that we can
do is to test the hypothesis for their
consistency and possibility, and then
look for the evidence which will prove
one rather than the other. Such evil
dence we do not possess in the record
before US, and it is not pretended that
1t is the desired evidence. 1t is only
an example of the kind of phenomena
which exists in large quantities and
which more and more demand an in
telligible exp1anation.-Dr. James H

Connecticut Is All American.
1t was particularly fitting that the
Connecticut should lead the greatest

she Is the product from stem to stern,
from Keel plate to fighting top of the
American naval establishment. De-
signed at the navy department in
Washington and built Brooklyn navy
yard, the Connecticut represents the
| highest type of fighting machine the
navy has ever known. Her size, meas
ured by the water the great hull dis
places and not by carrying capacity, is
registered at $4,000 tons. The energy
OF her twin reciprocating engines is
rated at $500 horses and her estimated
speed of Is knots an hour vas easily

In armor the Connecticut is belted
with eleven inches of well-nigh invul-
nerable steel amidshipS to protect ner

stands as a great increase in power
over everything heretofore attempted
on an American battleship. The
latest pattern of SO calibre 12-inch
guns were mounted in her main tur-
rets for the first time in the navy. In
addition to four of these, carried twin
shape in barbette turrets on the
proadside and an exceedingly power
full secondary battery mounted in
classmates on the main deck, consist
ing of IL seven inch guns of SO calibre.
The calibre of a naval gun Is the
measure of it's length. The increase
of calibre has grown from 35 to SO
in the last few years. The seven inch
guns on the Connecticut and other
vessels of her type are new to the
navy and are believed to be the best
pieces of ordnance planned in
decade. OF so calibre length they are
capable of penetrating six inches of
KrDpp armor two miles away. The
fire in any direction from such ship
is tremendous. Ahead or astern two
IL inch, four s inch and two inch
guns can be brought into action. A
broadside hail of lead and steel can
be poured from four 12s, four IS and
Is, to say nothing of the II three
inch rapid fire guns and the 26 smaller
pieces which complete the armament.

AS to the length of the stay of the
commission in Goldfield Mr.. Neill
could form no opinion at this time and
could not say when the first pGStion
of the report would be sent to WASH
ington. General Funston is preparing
a report to be sent to Washington
based on the revelations made to him
by a delegation from the American
Federation of Labor.
These gentlemen made the most
remarkable statement 1 have yet
heard" said General Funston in an
interview with the representative of
the Associated Press.
Their statement is that for months
they have lived in constant fear. They
have considered it necessary for their
self protection to go armed at all
times and have been compelled L.
avoid personal contact with members
of the Western Federation of Miners
In order to prevent serious trouble
This condition of affairs thew have
told me, obtained until the arrival OF
the United States troops, since which
time the conditions have been greatly
changed
General Funston stated that he con-
sidered that this statement of the con-
ditionS came from men who have
been in better position to know the
real situation than any others who
have talked to him since his arrival.
/ In view of the facts CLEANED. Gen
eral Funston said that there is little
possibility Of the troops here leaving
within ten days and on his recon-
mendation at least half of the number
now here will be detained by the
Washington authorities.
General Funston will not leave
Goldfeld before Tuesday and NAV
stay longer
Governor Sparks today sent a long
communication to Washington stating
in detail his position in relation to the
troops and making correction of some
omissions In the original call for
troops.

ing of trains bearing strike breakers
