Burlington Train Service Over the 6. N

For the past two months rumors
have occasionally reached the public
that Burlington passenger trains would
be run over the Great Northern, and
it was earnestly hoped that the story
would prove true. Anything that in
dicates to the public greater con-
venience in travelling, more oppor-
tunities to come and go, is hailed with
delight. Especially is this true with
local travellers. Between here and We
natchee. the train service is incon-
venient on account Of the train hours.
Those who hoped for additional ser
vice are to be disappointed, as Agent
Woodrow tells The Echo that Burling-
ton passenger trains are not likely tc
be run over the Great Northern fol
some time, probably not before mex
spring. Burlington freight has beer
moving over this road for some time
Every week more or less passes TIM

WIDOWS PENSIONS
INCREASED.
Commissioner Wares Gives Notice
that New Ruling Take Effect
May |.

Pension Commissioner Ware an
nounced that the widows who we're
receiving pension of $8 per month,
but whose pension was increased to
$l2 per month by the law recently
passed by congress will not be requir-
ed to make application for the in
crease. The pension commissioner
has instructed the pension agencies
throughout the county to put the law
into effect automatically, the first
payment of the incr ease being made
May 9TH. This action will result in
saving of thousands of dollars to pen
sioners affected.
Widows who are not on the roll but
who are entitled to the increase are
equired to make ap phi cation for the
increase as in the past.

A Curious Ear,

The catfish uses his lungs as an or
gan Of hearing. The needless lung be-
comes a closed sac filed with air and
commonly known as the swim blad-
der. In the catfish, as in the suckers,
clubs and most brook fish, the air
bladder is large and is connected by a
slender tube, the remains Of the ira
chea, to the esophagus. At it's front
it fits closely to the vertebral column.
The anterior vertebrae are much en-
larged, twisted together, and through
them passes a chain of bones, which
connects with the hidden cavity Of the
air. The bladder therefore assists the
ear Of the catfish as the tympanum,
and its bones assist the ear Of the
higher animals. An ear Of this sort
can carry little range of variety in
sound. 1t probably gives only the i'm
preston of jars or disturbances in the
water

Z How q Hat Is Sized.

y, writes that the size OF q hat is
calculated on curious principle. It
is the length plus the breadth divided
by 2. Thus head 81 inches long and
81 inches broad would require a hat
size of 1471a divided by 2. which is ~
-Gladstone's size.
Your correspondent c. is perfectly
right in his description Of the curious
way in which the size of a hat is OBJ
tanned. writes G.. but his sample di-
mansions are slightly misleading. Such
an ''oval" as 8A inches by 5A inches
would scarcely be met with twice in
lifetime. The normal difference be.
tween the length and width technical.
~ called the ''oval") is invariably
through the gamut Of sizes ~ inches
Thus an ordinary 6A hat would meas.
ure 71a inches long and inches wide
and ~ flour sizes bigger inches
long and 61a inches wide. The longest
head l have measured in many thou
sands was S5s by rs, which is the
equivalent of 2A inch oval. Needless
to say the inside Of the hat was the
shape of a canalboat. - Manchester

The First Monotheists,

So far as we know, the Egyptian
priests were the first monotheists.
There existed in Egypt two kinds Of
religious teaching, the ''exoter1c'' and
the "esoteric," that for the masses of
the people and that for the select few,
the little company Of the "wise." The
masses were polytheists, believing in a
multitude Of gods, while the few be-
lleved only in one god, of whom Osiris,
head of the popular deities, was but a
weak refect1on.-New York American.
