Exposition IS Being Held.

Seattle. Wash, June 1.-THE Alas
ka.Yukon- Pacific Exposition at Seattle
nav be seen at any time during the
summer months without fear Of sun
stroke. The gIaring heat that made
midday promenading all but impos
sible at previous expositions is un
known in the far northwest where the
latest worlds fairs is swinging mer'
rfly along with success written IN eY'

summery at Seattle but the unholy

Is warm-yes. hot-to the cities "
the exposition city. Located on an
arm of the seattle famous Puget
sound-this western metropolis re-
ceives fun benefit from the ocean cur
rents and the refreshing sea breezes.
Three lakes are included in its bound
aries and their cool depths fed from
the snow-crowned Cascade mountains,
freshen the air and make it whole
some and sweet.
Mountain ranges surround the am
phitheatre In which this latest worlds
congress is being held, and their melt
ing snow runs into streams that rush
down rocklined gorges to make the
rivers that flow in and about Seattle.
There need be no long search for
shade. This Puget Sound country
was a solid forest when the pioneers
invaded II with axe and saw, and the
march of civilization has far from de-
stroyed all of the mighty forests Of
primeval days. One of the predomin-
ating features OF the exposition's land
scapic beauty, is the much talked OF
skyline of fir trees, towering above
the classic buildings with their tur
rets. towers and monster domes.
The exposition management wisely
left these trees wherever it was not
absolutely necessary to remove them
and they separate and surround the
buildings in such a way as to make
them cool and inviting. The glare
that generally attends the courts Of Z
worlds fair has been largely obviateC
by using the color Of old ivory win,
instead of white. as heretofore employ
ed.
There are shady walks through Bit
Of forest in various parts of The
grounds, and beautiful picnicking spot
abound on the shores Of Lake Wash

As welcome to easterners and south
erners as the exposition itself is the
mildness Of the climate Here it Is
sunny enough by day to bring out the
gaiety Of summer dresses, and yet
cool enough by night for the tired
sight-seeker to sleep soundly.
