 Last night at the homo of Mir. H. R. Thompson the Ketchikan Kountry Klub gave its opening entertaipmens "a Halloween party. The house was beautifully decorated with autumn leaves and jack o'lanterns. Each guest wore ghost costume and mask. Two fortune tellers were kept quite busy relating the future, and. after appropriate refreshments were served the lights were extinguished and wierd ghost stories were told.

HOW TO. USE THE BAROMETER.


 HOW TO. USE THE BAROMETER. h order to thoroughly understand the bal onleter it is necessary to take the reaoiing every four hours and note the condition of the weather at the time of reaeing, such as cloudy, fair, rainy and the direction and force of the wind. Wind is air set in motion. The barometer is almost always effect ed before the wind actually begins to blow, or the rain to fall. The length of time which passes between the first appearance of a change of weather and the actual setting in is not always the same. ~
 When the barometer is steady there is no great liklihood of storm being near us, while when it is unsteady, there is danger of the wind freshen- ing to gale. This unsteadiness may be due to mere local causes, so that 1t is at times very hard to say whether it shows that serious storm or only slight squall is coming on- A sud- den rise of the barometer is very nearly as dangerous as a sudden fall. because it shows that the level is un- steady. In an ordinary gale the wind often blows hardest when the barom- eter is just beginning to rise, direct- ly after having been very low. When the barometer at any place rises very high. and continues so for some days, it is because there is too much air at that place, and the wind will be light. A gale can only set in when the wind flows away, and it will not at first be severe at that place.
 When the barometer is very low, and continues so, there may be calm and very dry weather for a short time, what is called a 'pet day" or a "weather breeder" and there is great danger of serious storm, be- cuse the air will try to force its way into the districts where the barometer is low and increase the pressure there. The storm will probably be the worst where the barometer has been the Lowest. The barometer rises for northerly winds (including from northwest, by the north to the east ward). for dry or less wet weather, for less wind, or for more or less of these changes. The barometer falls for southerly winds, tincllding from southeast, by the south to- the west ard) for wet weather, for a stronger wind, or for more than one of these changes.l E o''4t'. '''-'''
 Besides these rules for the barom- eter, tAere is ohe about the way the wind changes which is very impor- tant. It is well known to every sea- man, and is contained in the follow ing couplet: "When the wind veers against the sun. s sF
 Trust it not, for back it will run. :"
 The wind almost always shifts with the sum-, that is, from left to right in front of you. A change in this direc- tion is called veering. If the wind shifts the other way, that is, against the sun, the change is called backing, and it seldom occurs unless when the weather is unsettled.

TO say Of his experience with the new
medicine: For over seven years I
suffered with catanrh of the stomach.
and for the past year | was lame with
rheumatism. / attributed this to my
stomach trouble. as my circulation
was very poor. What food ! ate would
have sensation of bloating. and would
have to belch frequently to relieve this
My heart also became affected, and |
would suddenly become dizzy and have
palpitations. | was tired and dun and
respondent at all times. / lost a great
deal of flesh. and was nervous and de-
pressed, This Went on for over seven
years, although ! spent hundreds OF
dollars trying to get relief.
when Cooper was in Boston ! heard
a good deal about his ideas ON stomach
trouble Next, one or two friends
told me that his medicines had greatly
helped them. | purchased some of the
New Discovery medicine. Today / am
perfectly we'll: / sleep like a hoy, can
eat anything and have no rheumatism
or heart trouble. no longer have any
gas on my stomach, and feel as | did
years ago No one could be more as
tonished by these facts than myself.
They are remarkable, but true. This
is indeed a wonderful medicine.
