JOHN |. SULLIVAN AT
kALISPELL

This statement is attributed to DR.. Os-
Ter, that men are useless after 40 and
that at 80 they ought to be chloroformed
Here are some men who were not use
less at 10.
Not only have the seats in the theaters
wherever John l.. Sullivan has appeared
been filled, but the outside aisles have
been filed with standing spectators, who
were willing to undergo many discom-
forts to hear the ex-pugilist's arraign
ment of DR.. Osler, and his theory that
all men should be chloroformed at 80 and
his claim that despite the fact that he is
IS he is willing to meet any of the pres
ent day pugilists for any number of
rounds.
DR.. Osler's theory is an especially sore
point with Sullivan, and he recently
completed work of several weeks to dis
prove the claims OF the professor.
Following are some of the instance
that have been found by Sullivan that
he will quote in his monologue when he
appears at the Flathead county fair at
kalispell:
Delnosthenes delivered his oratorica
masterpiece, the Grafton ''On the Crown"
at o.
Aristotle did his greatest work after 80,
and Plato after 80.
Chaucer wrote the Canterbury Tales"
and other famous works after 40.
Spinoza wrote his speech-making book
after he was IL.
Laurence wrote "Tristen Shandy'
when he was A.
Cervantes was 30 when he began to
write Don Quixote."
Defoe was 81 when he gave the world
Robinson Crusoe.'
Oliver Cromwell did not begin his
wonderful life work until he was 10.
Titan was over 40 when he began
work on the renowned masterpiece The
Assumption OF the Madonna.
Leonardo De Ninci, who, we are told
comes nearest to being history's ''Univer-
sal Genius, was 45 years old when he
painted ''The Last Supper"
Sir Christopher designed st. Paul's
cathedral at rs, and the tower of West
minister Abbey at So
John Hunter, the celebrated physician,
wrote his greatest treatise when 66 years
OF age.
Pasteur was 80 before he fairly got to
work on his hydrophobia cure.
Past 40, too, was Mohammed before
he began to write the Korcn.
Momsen was on the shady side of ~
when he wrote his monumental history
of Rome, and many others.
John l.. Sullivan recently wrote DR..
Osler that he would agree to put his fist
through the panal of door ] q inches
thick, and if there was not force enough
left in the blow to knock down DR.. Oslel
ii he stood behind the door, from his fist
he would never don the gloves again.
John l.. has been on the road over II;
consecutive weeks and never missed
performance during this time, which
speaks volumes.

SHOOTING THE SUN.
Cinplest Wsy CT Locating a Ship.
petition at Sea,

The average transatlantic Traveller
displays very little interest In the nav
igation of the vessel beyond watching
the ships officers. seXtant in hand
making observations. says writer in
Travel Magazine. Very few have an,
idea of the process by means of which
the modern navigator is enabled to ac-
curately place the ships position at
a stated time on the chart. Out of
sight of land Il ships geographical po-
sition is determined either by keeping
q careful record of the course steered
and the distance run, known as dead
reckoning. or by the combined use of
chronometer and sextant-that is, by
observation of the heavenly bodies
The operation of finding the latitude
and longitude Of observation can be
performed in Il number of ways, of
which the simplest and most conyen
lent is by measuring the altitude of the
sun above the horizon at noon. as is
indicated on the vernier of the seXtant
and spoken Of ut sea as shooting the
sun" An arithmetical computation by
the aid of logarithms Is thus quickly
made which shows exactly how far
the ship is north or south Of the equa-
tor. or, in other words, the latitude.
Finding the longitude, however. Is a
somewhat longer process. An observa-
ton is made either in the forenoon or
afternoon. the chronometer time of the
horizon contact of the suns image be-
ing noted. A calculation is then made
which gives the exact time at the spot
where the ship happens to be- and, as
the thermometer carried aboard shows
the exact time at Greenwich the prime
meridian of longitude, the difference
between the two expresses In hours
and minutes easily convertible into
degrees and miles, the distance east
or west of Greenwich.
Having thus, roughly speaking. found
the latitude and longitude, dot placed
on the chart at the exact point where
the lines of latitude and longitude
cross denotes the ships position.

A MANS HAT.
Why Is It Always Regarded as a Fit
Subject For Jokes?

Subject For Jokes?
Il wonder why it is says young
gentleman who spends most of his lei
sure time studying human nature at
populouS street corner, that Il mans
hat is always regarded as u fit subject
for jokes? Anything that happens to
his shoes is Il serious matter. and. al
though his vest, especially if it is out
of the usual in design or color is
sometimes made the subject OF pointed
remarks, disaster to any other garment
is regarded as matter of sympathy.
But if lie goes to church and puts
down his hat at the end of his pew.

and knocks it five feet down the aisle,
OF if he places it carefully beside him

and so irritated does the owner be-
come when he finds his vicious dabs
and grabs at it greeted with ironical
applause that he generally forgets to
thank the man who stops it by stamp
ing on it and hands it back. l be-
lieve Joe Miller perpetrated jokes about
chasing the hat. but the heavy felts
and cooked hats of Miller's time did
not lend themselves readily to joking
purposes. for when those old fashioned
headpieces were blown off they drop
ped to the ground and stayed there.

Commenting on recent remarks Of
The Pilot in regard to securing grounds
for parks in this city, the Daily Inter
Lake says:
"The people of Whitefsh can get an
object lesson as close as Kalispell, if tley
wish any pointers on the park question,
and the ACCESSIBILITY of providing for
parks as early in the history OF the town
as possible. We have delayed the mat
ter here until the securing of ground for
park will be such an expensive matter
as to almost put it out of the question.
1t is true we have tract of land for the
purpose, which was donated to the town,
but the park we should have, in the CEN
ter Of the city, or nearly so, we probably
will meyer have. Whitefsh will do well
not to follow Kalispcll's example in this
respect, but get land for park now"

Ed Retland, from the mouth OF the
Tobacco river country, went to the
Whitefish hospital last week to have a
badly wounded hand attended to. He
went to take his gun, 1882 Winchester,
geese and took hold of the wiping stick
to remove that at the same time, when
the hammer of the gun caught in some
way and discharged the gun. The wiping
stick and ball both passed through his
closed hand, tearing it very badiy.-Kal-

There has been very noticeable
increase in Whitefsh real estate deals
during the past two weeks and the
outlook is that there will be consider
able building this fall. There are no
vacant houses in town, SO those who
build houses to rent will have no
trouble in securing tenants.
