AN ERA OF AIR CONQUEST.

The successful flight of Louis Bier. tot, the French aviator, in his aero plane from Calais to Dover across the English channel marks the beginning of an era of air conquest which may have far reaching results in the his tory of civilization. There is absolu. tely no doubt but that in the course of q very few years aeroplanes can make long flights carrying heavy bur dens under the most adverse weather conditions.
 Exploration will be rendered easy and aeroplanes may be of great value to the prospector in Alaska, for 1t will be far easier to sail over mount alns than to scale their rugged peaks.
 The effect of aerial navigation upon the peace Of the world will also be interesting. Will the deadly destruct- iyeness of aerial fighting machines cause all nations to sign a universal truce; or will some one nation, pos seSsing the most efficaclous flying machines, try and impose its will on the less inventive countries?
 At any rate aerial navigation is with us and Is to be reckoned with. By crossing the English channel Bier lot has impressed upon the people of the world the development Of aero nautics and also the possibilities.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their unceasing Work Keeps Us
 Strong and Healthy. '

All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once, every .thre minutes. The kidneys filter the blood They work 'nigt and day, When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when un- healthy some part of this impure mat ter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms pain in the back, headache, nervous ness, hot, dry skin. rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness irregular heart debility, drowsiness. dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.
 w. A. Hawkins, 669 Yesler Way, Seattle, Wash, says: "It gives me pleasure to confirm the statement l gave for publication some years ago in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as the relief I obtained from their use has proven permanent. l suffered from an acute attack of kidney trou' tIe and though l used remedy after remedy, I was unable to find relief l had the most severe pains across the small of my back and was also annoyed by irregular passages of the kidney secreuons. Doan's Kidney Fills helped me at once and continue use entirely relieved me. l am a great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills and have recommended them on many occasions" .a-

TEN BOOKS.

We have all heard of the five feet of books" selected by President Eliot O. Harvard and it is possible to com. prise within forty carefully culled volumes very much of what is best and most instructive in literature. Su pose, however, that you must choose ten books out of all that you have read aud suppose you were not allow ed to read any other books the re- mainder of your life. What ten would you choose?
 Recently the Portland Telegram put this query to its readers and as q result the following seven books were selected by great majority of those who expressed an opinion: Shake Speare, The Bible. Gibbons Rise and Eal of the Roman Empire, Les MiSerableS by Hugo, TennysonS Poems. Ivanhoe. and Don Quixote by Ceryantes. Owing to the scattering vote 1t was impossible to complete the list of ten.
 The Alaskan would like to know what ten books its readers consider most valuable and to this end invites them to send in lists of ter.
 The following list is one that has been submitted as the result of a casual conversation between the edi- tor and a friend:
 Shakespeare, The Riddle of the Universe by Haec&le, The Descent of Man by Darwin, The Decline and Fall Of the Roman Empire, The Bible Vanity Fair by Thackery, Les Wiser ables. The Magic Skin by Balzac, Quo Yadis and Byron's Poems.
 What Is your choice?

It's very well to kill gnu, or best the chimpanzee; to battle with a kangaroo is just the sport for me; I'd chase the loathsome octopus, and slug it with brick; but I'd be sure to raise a fuss when flies became too thick. So let the Glaring Afric skies bend over other chaps; there is no fun in shooting flies, or catching them in traps; it doesn't pay as Ted will find, to have them taxi dermed.
