Average Length OF Life.

The man who lives until he is
more than century old and the
child who dies in infancy are alike
included in the law of averages. They
balance each others chances, as IL
were.
OF 100000 people living at the
age OF ten, only 1854 will live to
the age of twenty-one, only 82,2S4
will be living at forty, only 40 will
be living at ninety-six. and only 0
at ninety-seven. At thirty, the aver
age man may take it that he has
under thirty-five years to live; at
forty, under twenty-eight years; at
fifty, under twenty-one years; at SIX
ty under fourteen years.
In each and all of these cases,
how he lives will determine whether
he will have longer life or a shorter
life, but the average will infallibly
work out within a space of ninety
years.-Cassell's Saturday Journal.

AS he stands in the middle of the

show that he is not the ordinary
inanimate scarecrow. He stands mo-
tionless for five minutes at a time
and only when bird is tempted by
the fresh corn just appearing above
the ground does he show any sign
of life. But then it is that the
scarecrow moves; he hits an old tin
can with with the rusty handle OF
a shovel and frightens the birds and
makes them fly quickly out of sight.
So he spends his day, this old,
bent man, and at the end he is paid

Whale Impaled On Pile Driver.

An immense blackfish or finback
whale thirty feet long located itself
under a pile driver at fish trap
location near the entrance to Decep-
tion Pass few days ago. The pile
was pushed clear through the huge
body of the fish and was pounded
into the tide lands underneath by
the heavy driving hammer.
The struggles of the fish shook
the pile driver so violently that the
loftman fell from the second station
of the driver rigging to the deck,
and was rescued from drowning only
by the prompt action of John Nelson,
working on the deck.

Fails TO Arrive in Time Change
OF Teachers

One week from next Tuesday the
pnpils Of the Crystal Falls schools will
assemble for the beginning Of the
school year Of 1905 o. School this
year begins under the most iiattering
circumstances for a successful year in
every way.
The many draw backs which have
been felt during the last two years
owing to the newness of the big high
school building have all been done
away with as Prof Hill has put the
last touches upon the building during
the vacation.
The Inconvenience that IL was fear
ed would be felt because OF the resig.
nation of so many Of the old teachers
have been avoided by the prompt action
OF the board in taking steps To get the
best available talent. To that end
Prof. Hill was sent on scouting mis-
sion early in the year and he feels sat
isfied that the new teachers he has
secured are fully as strong as those
who have left the force.
The only change in the personnel of
the force since the list was published
is at the Armenia where Sadie Eldred
has resigned her position and will be
succeeded by Pearl Margison.
The teachers are expected to arrive
Saturday and Sunday, Almost all OF
them have accommodations engaged so
the difficulties of the past two years
will be obviated TO some extent in that
line.
Monday at 2 100 O'Clock the teachers
meeting will be held as usual at which
every teacher in the district is required
TO be present.
The outlying schools are all in good
shape this year. and the attendance at
each Of them is on the increase which

Train Wrecks on the North Western
Number Three

Nunpef lnfco
There is an old superstition among
railroad men that one wreck ON sys-
tenn or division means three in close
proximity
Whether this superstition has any
reason in il or not the fact remains
that three wrecks occurred ON the PEN
insular division within a week. The
first wreck was on the Amasa branch
which we described last week.
The second wreck occurred one mile
this side Of Spread Eagle Saturday
night about seven o. clock and IL was a
bad one. An ore train from Stambaugh
was followed closely by an ore train
from Crystal Falls The Stamhaugh
train broke in two and the second train
was following so closely. aided by the
defective working of the air. that IL
couldn't be tagged soon enough 10
avert rear end collision. The engine
on the Crystal Falls train was one OF
tho largest in use and IL ploughed right
up on top OF the cars in the rear Of the
train ahead. The fireman and engineer
saved themselves by jumping and the
conductor and brakemn OF the train
ahead also had time 10 get out and
away. Forty cars were split into kind
ing wood
The third wreck occurred early Mon.
day morning on the new line between
Antione and Escanaba.
