Mr.. Mcknight made a short
talk touching on the candidates
after which he introduced Mr..
Bowen, candidate for states
attorney, as the first speaker.
Mr.. Bowen's speech was
short but straight to the point,
his principal subject being the
tariff, ending by praising the
work of Mr.. Taft and President
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Mcknight then intro
duced the principal speaker
of the evening, A. NJ. Christian
son, candidate for Judge of the

Christianson is an eloquent
and forceful speaker an held
the close attention of his aud

touched on all the political
issues of the campaign, hand

in manner leaving no doubt
in the minds of the voters. He
then compared the two great
presidential candidates, Mr..
Taft and Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Taft,
he said, was a man who had
done things and had made
good in whatever position he
was placed while Mr.. Bryan

Utilizing Sharks Teeth.

The natives on some of the Pacific
islands. being provided with neither
metals nor any stone harder than the
coral rocks of which the atolls they
inhabit are composed. would seem bad
ly off, indeed, for material of which
to make tools or weapons were it not
that their very necessity has bred an
invention no less ingenious than curl
Gus and effective. This is nothing less
than the use Of sharks teeth to give a
cutting edge to their wooden knives
and swords. The mouth of the shark
contains 800 teeth arranged in Ave
rows, all closely lying upon each other.
except the outer row, and so construct
ell that as one tooth Is broken or lost
another takes It's place. The teeth
are not only. pointed and keen edged,
but are finely and regularly serratcd,
so that the cutting power is greatly IN
creased. Indeed, so great faculty
have these teeth for wounding that the
implements and weapons upon which
they are used have to be handled with
great care. The Kingmil islanders
make many strange articles Of sharks
teeth,
