Sudden Death.

Peber g. Stixrud, Norwegian by
birth, Of fine qualifications as drafts.
man, employed for many years in
the U. S. Surveyor Generals office
of this city, man of splendid phys
ical build and apparently in robust
health, died suddenly Tuesday night,
after retiring to his room at the
Kneeland hotel. 1t appears, how
ever, that his splendid condition was
only deceptive; that he had been liv-
ing for long time on only vegetable
diet by recommendation of physic-
ians as q relief from acute indiges-
ton. Tuesday night, however, he
departed from this course and ate o
large steak before retiring, said to
have been the first hes had eaten for
about three years.
Soon after retiring he was attacked
by the old affection, and DR.. Kincaid
was called. He administered the
usual remedy for disordered or over
loaded stomach and the patient APP
peared relieved, and neither he or his
doctor thought that further trou-
BILE would ensue. In a short time
the pain reappeared, and before
the doctor could be resummoned, the
patient had died.
Mr.. Stixrud was born in Ponsberg.
Norway; educated for the army, in
which he held q commission several
years. He came to this city about
fifteen years ago and becau.e citi-
zen. He was about 50 years of age,
and 80 far as is known without rela-
tives in this country. He left an
estate of about $75, 900, willed to his
two brothers and a sister in Norway.
His property is mainly located in Sc
attic, q large part of which was left
him by brother who died in that
city. Christopher NastOn, of Seat
tie, is named as executor of the es-
tate. The body will be removed to
Seattle this evening for the final
rites of sculpture.

SEX EQUALITY - A SOLUTION
OF THE WOMEN PROBLEM.

wise man has come to the fore with some
new conclusions concerning women. The theories
advanced are based the teachings of Darwin
and Spencer, as well those of the latest
and foremost supporters of the doctrine of evou-
tion. Sex equality teaches that women are more
intuitive, refined, unselsh and spiritual, but at
the present time are distinctly inferior to men in
initiative, resource, power and breadth of view.
Sex equality shows that these mental differences
between men and women are not fundamental nor
the result of sex, but are caused by environment
and heredity; that when each sex Is fully devel-
oped there will not be, as now, masculine traits
and feminine traits but simply human traits that
women will be mathematical, logical, philosoph-
ical and inventive men, and men will be
intuitive, refined and spiritual as women. Sex
equality is strong plea for extending democracy
into all phases of human life. Furthermore, there
are given good reasons for believing that the
diminutive stature and inferior strength now char.
acterstic of women the result, not of sex, but
of habits of life and heredity. Those who accept
the doctrine of evolution will have difficulty in
denying these conclusions.

without warming and it is this variable quality OF
the volcano that makes the venture of the new city
on the site of St. Pierre all the more hazardous
But the people of Martinique have way OF accept.
ing the worst in the peculiarly tropical spirit OF
caring only for the day, lesson Nature itself IN
the tropics teaches them readily.
In a very short time after the eruption OF Mont
Pelee the district almost covered with tropical
vegetation which sprang up in the volcanic matter
covering the numberless dead buried beneath 1t,
and the vegetation was most luxuriant on the side
where the lava had flowed down to the sea-a
strange example of the way in which Nature heals
its wounds.
Fort de France, the seaport of Martinique since
the destruction of st. Pierre, seems to have no
fear of the fate of her sister city. Why should
she when there are others In Martinique ready to
go to the very place of disaster? Little Morne
Rouge the famous health resort only five miles
from the city of DEATH lives its existence just as
contentedly today if it has never been within
the shadow of death. 1t is at Morne Rouge that
the king of Dahomey and three of his wives live
in exile.
Martinique is a French colony, one of the
most interesting of all the islands. 1t is by no
means large island, only forty-three miles long
and nineteen miles wide, and as there are only
three hundred and eighty square miles on the
island, it will be seen what sixty square miles of
total destruction meant.
The great mass of the population is Creole
negroes and half castles of various grades ranging
from "saccatra," who have hardly retained any
Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-11

trace of Caucasian blood, to "Sangmele," with
hardly an appearance of negro admixture Ihe
whites are few in number, still it is the white
history of Martinique that makes it important
Martinique was discovered by Columbus on the
18th of June 1892 ten years after his first dscov-
cry of America, and it was at that time inhab-
tied by Caribs, who had expelled or incorporated
an older stock. In 1886 a Norman captain,
DEnambuc coming from st. Chrstophers took
possession of the island, and in 1887 the nephew
of the captain, one Duparquet became captain
general of the colony.
Exclusive of the Caribs, who were soon extermi-
mated, Martinique had by 1860 a colony of five
thousand people, and later the French government
purchased Martinique from the children of Dupar-
quet The island then assigned to the West
Indian Company, but in 1874 1t again became part
of the royal domain. The French landholders,
called habitants there they in the Canadian
colony at first devoted themselves to the cultiva-
ton of cotton and tobacco 1t was in 1850 that the
coffee plant was introduced by Desclieux who had
shared his scanty allowance of water on the voyage
with the seedlings, going thirsty himself in order
to preserve the plants
Slave labor fourished in Martinique, and by
1876 there were seventy-two thousand blacks on
the island Political conditions in Martinique were
often disturbed. The island was captured by Rod
ney of the English fleet in 1862 and held for one
year. when it was restored to France, then the
English held it for eight years after the conquest
by Sir John Jervis and Sir Charles Grey In 1894,
and the French held it till 1909, when the English
recaptured it and held it till 1914, when it was
returned to France.
Marie Josephine Rose Tacher de la Pagerie,
empress of France was born at Trois Ilets, Mar
tinique on the oath of June, 1853. Her people,
family of the county of Blois had settled in Mar
Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-11

tiniuue in 1926, and at the time of her birth her
father held the post of harbormaster at Port Royal
1t was at the Convent of the Sisters OF ST
Joseph in Port Royal that Josephine Tacher de la
Pagerie received her education She was charm
ing young girl, noted for her beauty even in Mar
Unique, where the girls of pure French blood are
famous for lovelness, and was only thirteen years
of age when her family betrothed her to the
Viscount Beauharnais, scion of an old family oil
the French nobility and the son OF former gov
ernor of Martinique.
Before she went to Paris to wed the viscount
the story goes, Josephine met an old negress OF
Martinique, who was credited with the possession
of wonderful powers of divination The old woman
told the fortune of the beautiful Creole and pre-
dicted for her that she would be more than
queen,' but that she would live the last years OF
her life in great unhappiness
The Viscount Beauharnais came to Martinique
in 1856 to try and find grounds for divorce against
his wife, of whom he was distractedly jealous, but
the parliament of Paris dismissed his complaint.
In the following year Josephine then one OF the
great beauties of the court of Marie Antoinette'
came back to Trois Ilets the little town where she
was born She would probably have stayed there
had not the uprisings on the island rendered her
residence there dangerous. She went back to
France, but she never forgot Martinique, and ii
her interest in the West Indies that led to
her ardent espousal of the of Toussaint
L'Ouverture.
Martinique has not fogotten Josephine. The
statue Of the empress stood in the city Of st.
Pierre until everything was swept away on the
terrible Sth of May, and 1t Is likely that new
statue to the empress will arise in the ST
Pierre.
The oftrepeated phrase that "this is South
Americas century is no idle and the enter
prise that is rebuilding St Pierre will probably
reap large reward. The British government has
realized the possibilities of the West Indies and
when the eruption of the Suffriere on the 7th of
May, 1902, rendered half of the English island of
st. Vincent uninhabitable, England subscribed
three hundred and fifty thousand to the Lord
Mayors Fund for the relief of the island and its
rehabilitation.
The commercial opportunities of the West Indies
yet in their infancy and the interest which the
United States has displayed in their trading posi-
bilities is doing more for their future than cen
turies of foreign colony systems ever did. French
capital however, has now awakened to the chances
Martinique offers it. And there is element of
romance In the Indies that appeals to the Gallo
imagination while there is element of chance
that appeals to the American gambling spirit.
The harbor of St Pierre will in time no doubt
present scene of activity, the city will again
flourish, despite the rashness of the attempt to
live over volcano Pelee will smolder and in time
men will again forget the dangers, for this is the
way of the world.

SUN BATHS FOR NERVES.
Specialist Tells How Much Good They
Do Suffering Women.

Initiate your cat, madam, and take
sun bath these spring mornings if
you want to get rid of your nerves"
said Boston specialist to one of his
patients recently. See how lazy and
happy pussy looks as he stretches his
body and blinks his eyes in the morn
ing sun. If cats had nerve diseases
this would be the best thing in the
world to cure them.
Every sanitarium has its sun room
now, but women ought not to wait till
they have reached the sanitarium
stage of breaking down before they in
dulge in anything as cheap as sun
bath Any woman who has a south
window and an easy chair can have
sun bath every morning this spring #
she only determines to take it. If the
potatoes have to be peeled, or the
sto; kings darned, they can be done
during the sun bath, but the best way
of all is to take it just as the cat does,
in the LATEST fashion possible. Run
the shade way up to the sash, move
your chair within range of the sun
light and luxuriate for half an hour.
It's better than gallons of spring medi
cine, and may save hours and hours
of duilness or staying in bed later on.
"One of my patients who had a Sc
we're case of nervous prostration last
spring brought herself out of it after
| had tried every thing. just by chas
ing the sun around the house from
window to window, so that she got
every bit that came in during the day
Indian women have the most placid
nerves of any race of people in the
world, probably and doctors are be-
ginning to think it is because they sit
in the sun so much. An Indian woman
is as fond of the sun outside her wig
wan as the cat is of his favorite sun
spot. They sit in it and vegetate for
hours at time, scarcely winking the
eyes.
There's no danger of women vege-
tating these days, so it's quite safe to
advise one to sit In the sun as much
as she can. It's good for her anyway,
but especially so If she's nervous"
