San Francisco is preparing for a
great demonstration on the occasion
of arrival of the American fleet al
that port some time in May. lnvi-
tations are being extended to orga-
nizations and citizens of prominence
throughout the great western and
northwestern country which is trib-
utary TO the big coast town. These
invitations, of which several have
been received in the district. read as
follows:
You are respectfully invited to
attend the festivities in honor of the
officers and len of the American
fleet. which will assemble in the bay
of San Francisco on arrival during
the month of May, 1908.
EDWARD robson TAYLOR,
Mayor of the City and County of San
Francisco.
JAMES ID. PHELAN.
Chairman of the Official Committee
for the Reception of the Fleet
Please reply.
Railroad rates from all points will
probably be made later for the oc-
casion and there will doubtless be a
great outpouring of people to pay
San Francisco a visit and view the
naval strength of the country. 1t is
probable that arrangements will be
made by a number of Ely people who
expect to attend to go in a special
Pullman car, which will go straight
through from the city and remain at
the service of those on board until
they are ready to make the return
trip. However, special train may
go direct through from the city. as
those who have so far signifed inten-
ton of making the trip are numerous
and will more than fill a single car.

especially admlres the linotype type

are unable to use them In Japan, for
our language has forty-seven letters, as

and such number Of types is, of
course, beyond the capabilities of any
machine yet invented. In the printing

The Presence Of Mind OF the Great

Captain Mnhan relates the following
aneedote concerning Lord Nelson's let
ter proposing truce to the crown
prince Of Denmark. dispatched In the
midst Of hostIlities:
The decks being cleared Of all parti.
tions fore and aft and all ordinary con-
veniences removed. Nelson wrote in
full view of all on the deck where he
was. at the casing OF the rudder head,
standing. and as be wrote an officer
standing by took copy. The original,
In bis own hand. was put into an en-
velope and sealed, with his arms. The
oficer was about to use wafer. but
Nelson said:
mo; send for sealing wax and can
die"
Some delay followed owing to the
mans having had his head taken OF
by a ball. Send another messenger
for the wax" said the admiral when
informed OF this. and when the waters
were again suggested he simply reiter.
ated the order.
A large quantity Of wax was used
and extreme care taken that the i'm
preston Of the seal should be perfect
Colonel Stewart asked:
"Why under SO hot a fire and after
so iamentable an accident have you at
tached SO much Importance to a cir
cumstance apparently trlfiing7"

piled Nelson, 1.-THE wafer would have
been still wet when the letter was

would have Inferred that the letter
was sent OFF In a hurry and that we
had some pressing reasons for being In
a hurry. The wax told no tales"

Odd Methods Of the indians on the

On the Sault Ste. Marie the Indians

The former has a pole with which to
steady the boat standing upright In

They take With them a dlpnet four
feet In diameter attached to pole or
handle ffteen feet long, This Is placed
ready to the hand Of the Indian In the
bow. The fishing Is done at the foot
Of the rapids. where the water bolls
and tumbles furlously.
With his pole the Indian In the bow
holds the canoe or let's II hoat steadily

II Is curious how many people are in
ignorance Of simple little facts in con-
nectlon with everyday life which
would save them a large amount Of
unnecessary labor and fatigue. Take
the case Of carrying heavy bag or
portmanteau. for instance. We all
know the annoying way in which 1t
knocks against our legs and the almost
intolerable ache In the arm that Is sup.
porting the burden. Few people are
aware, however, that by folding cou-
pie Of newspapers and putting them
under ones armpit a large amount Of
the strain and Inconvenience is imme-
diately removed. Try 1t next time you
are hurrylng to catch a train.-Pear-
