tieth Of second of arc found for
Arcturus by. Dr.. Elkin gave a most
astounding result This small paral-
lax implies a distance from the earth
equal to about 100000 times the
suns distance. This vast distance
would produce diminution of light of
about thirty-ive and one-fourth mag
nitudes, SO that the sun placed at the
distance Of Arcturus would be reduced
to star Of only nine and three-fourths
magnitude. 1t would not be visible
with an opera glass. Arcturus is
therefore in round numbers nine and
one-half magnitudes, or over 5000
times brighter than the sun would be
at the same distance Assuming the
same density and brightness of sur
face as the sun, the diameter of Arc
turus would therefore be about sew

over 6S,O00,00O miles, and it's mass
about 100000 times the mass of the

The Penalty of Kindness.

package of cigarette papers, four

Why Sailors Like "Scraps."

1t has long been observed that the
sailor, whether In commercial or gov.
eminent service, takes a peculiar de-
light in linking up" with the blue
coat, but this inclination has been at
tributed more to a natural exuberancc
which comes with a land leave. &C.
CELEBRATED somewhat by artificial means,
than to animus inherent with deep sea
life. But why this feeling? Perhaps
it is that the strict rules Of marine
service, the long periods of close con-
finement to which the seaman is sub.
jected. make him hater of any one
who wears the emblem of authority
when he is temporarily enjoying free
dom on shore leave away from the re.
straints aboard ship. The sailor wants
liberty in it's full sense, and, realizing
that the bluecoat is the chief obstacle
to his obtaining it, he develops firm
conviction that the policeman ought to
be trounced on general principles. In
time 1t becomes his chief peaceful am.

Prohibition Question Discussed.
Milwaukee. March 23.-The coming
debate on the prohibition question be-
tween Mayor David S. Rose of Milwau-
kee, the spokesman for the regulated
saloon, and President Samuel A. Dick
lie, of Albion, Mich, college, is attract
ing great attention in Milwaukee.
Though it will be held in the Hippo
drome, which can seat 5000 persons,
it appears that it will be necessary to
confine the attendance chiefly to men.
The debate takes place Friday night,
and is the first of series of three de.
bates. The second will take place in
Chicago, and the third in some city in
the south.
President Dickie is said to be the
most brilliant speaker that the prohibi
ton movement can produce. While
Mayor Rose is challenger on behalf of
his own views, not representing any
organization, his views on the probibi-
ton question are we'll known. AS
mayor of Milwaukee he declared in his
several terms in Office that the wide
open town is the best governed city.

Recognition of our union is one
point upon which we shall stand fast

should be granted by the operators, but
the matter upon which we are united
and in entire harmony is recognition
of our organization. The demand of
the miners for recognition of the union

NO WORD FROM BALLOON
Searchers Are Out for Party Lost
Since Saturday.

Since Saturday.
Friends of the six men who assembled
from Los Angeles Saturday in the bal
loon America" have been without
word of them since.
Many relief expeditions have been
organized. Within fifty miles of Pas
adena there are three distinct noun
tain ranges before the Mojave desert
is reached. If the balloon sailed over
this fifty mile stretch of mountain
chain and came to earth on the desert
there is hope that the aeronauts after
tramping many weary miles may be
able to reach shelter. If the balloon
was not able to cross the Sierra Ma
Dire range and was brought down
among the mountains, only miracle
can save the men from death.
Through S. l.. Carlton, chief of the
government forestry rangers on the
San Gabriel reserve, word has been
sent to all of the rangers to take the
trails at once and cover all the noun
tain district posts. The Elks lodge of
Pasadena, two members of which are
among the missing party, has sent out
an expedition.
Deep snow covers the mountain
trails. 1t was the intention of Captain
Mueller to take only a short flight and
to seek landing somewhere along the
foothills above Pasadena. He must
have found this impossible owing to a
strong wind.

Walking Under a Ladder.

A correspondent Of the Boston

old superstition against walking under
a ladder: ''In former days, when hang

and simple fashion than it is today,
the victim had generally to pass under
the ladder which stood against the gal
lows for the convenience of the execu-
ton, and be passed under that ladder
with the fair certainty of being imme-
diately hanged. What the unhappy
criminal could not avoid the average
