The presence OF the snakes has
never been accounted for.
Recently, however, all the docu-

Recently it WAS reported In the

being sorted out Gat-headed snake

Ballard out of business. The police
alarm wires from Ballard to hendquar-
tiers at the city hall were tested box

1t was discovered that difficulty lay
between the box at Fremont and the
one next south. The electricians could
find nothing more serious than swal-

the nest, which stretched from one
wire to another, distance of about
eight inches. was built on 8 hatpin,

Three ssbbaths Every Week.

Morocco is a country of many Sab
baths The first three days I spent in
Tangier were all Sabbaths. Arriving
on a Thursday night the next day was
Friday, the Mohammedan Sabbath,
which was followed by the Jewish
Sabbath-the Hebrew element in Tan.
gier is considerable and strict in re-
ligious obseryance-and that in turn
by the Christian Sunday. Subsequent
comparisons, however, revealed little
difference. between any days of the
week. On the Mohammedan Sabbath
a black flag is hoisted on the minarets
at the prayer of dawn instead of the
white flag that announces the time
of devotions on other days. 1t re
mains up until the middle of the fore
noon, by which time everybody is sup
posed to have found out what day II

about a sick child who lived on the
same floor that she did at the Savoy

remarked parenthetically that great
singers do not practice half az much
as small ones and the little one ly-
ing in her cot used to listen to the
Australian nightingale with the live
hest pleasure. When the little girl
got we'll, and was running about the

BORE LOVE LOCK OF EMPEROR.
Coin Struck During NapsIssn Ills
Reign Now Valuable.

There is a singular story in con.
nectaea with a coin OF tho third Napo
leon. while Louis Napoleon was
prince president ef Fraaoo. Just
before no MADE himself emperor, a
decree was issued ordering ave-franc
piece to be coined bearins his
image
The dies were mado, and one coin
was struck OF IS sample and sent
to the prince president for his ap
provai But some time peErsd before
he examined It, When at last he gave
It his attention he was annoyed to find
that he had been represented ON the
coin with love lock, or hooked lock
Of hair on tho temple, which he act
TALLY did wear at that period, bui
which he thought unsuitable to so dig
nified and permanent representa-
ton OF himself as en- ef1gy on i
coin
Tho prince president sent for the
director of the mint and ordered hin,
to remove the love lock. Then he
found that his silence with regard te
the piece had been taken for approval
and that tho stamping Of the coins haG
begun. The work was stopped and
the image deprived OF its undignifieG
lock. But the 23 coins that had al
ready been struck off were not de
stroyed and are now regarded as o.
