School Exhibits

Douglas Island may justly take pride in tue exhibits sent to the A.-Y..P. from the schools of Douglas and Treadwell. Patrons and outsiders evinced their in- terest by visiting the school on the days appointed for display of the work.
 The Treadwell exhibit represents every pupil and every grade from the first to the eighth inclusive. Papers in language, arithmetic, geography and history, as we'll as a line of pulp aud outline maps, show excellent training in hose subjects. The value of sys- tematic nature study is we'll shown in various ways, the compositions and water color sketches of birds beiug par ticularly good Numerous useful ar ticles made by the lower grades give evidence of manual training. The set of indeXed and illustrated note books, compiled by pupils of the higher grades during the past eight months, appeal with especial interest to teach CTS.
 Eleven grades are represented in the Douglas exhibit. The quantity of work is not extensive lowing chiefly to the limited supply of material furnished by the fair of1cials), but nothing is lacking in quality.
 The papers in language and arith. metic work of the first three grades are creditable throughout. These grades also exhibit some careful work in mat weaving, sewing, paper-folding and painting.
 The history books, prepared by pu. pills of the fourth, fifth and sixth grades, have attracted much attention and favorable comment, as have also their original stories.
 The seventh and eighth grades show full line of good examination papers in all the fundamentals. Many eXpres- sions of admiration have been passed upon their beautiful display of surface maps, physiology drawings in ink and designing in water colors.
 The high school work would do credit to much older institution. The botany note books, containing draw ings from nature and from sections of plants under the microscope, are eX- cellent without exception. A set of German papers shows surprisingly good results for first year students. There are other good papers in algebra, geometry, English, Latin and history. Each set is mounted under an appro- priate cover design drawn in India ink.
 One notable feature of the two ex- hibits is the uncorrected work, which, for competitive purposes, is the only sort that can lay claim to fairness.

SPRING IS DUE SUNDAY
According to Weather Bureau Spring
Of 1909 Comes In at One O'Clock
Sunday Morning.
(Herald Specially

Washington, D. c., March 20.-Ac-
cording to the almanacs and the
{ weather bureau, the spring of 1909
will be ushered in at 1 o'clock tomor-
row morning. At this time the sun
will enter Aries, and, according to
meteorology, thus it is that spring
is here, whether the temperature be
at the zero point or sizzling hot up in
the nineties" At the same period
comes what is popularity known as
the equinoctial storm. Twentieth cen
fury scientists, however, say that
there is no such thing as the "equi-
noctial storm" which, they declare, is
a designation given to the heaviest
storm that happens to occur within a
few weeks of the date of the equni-
nox, which is the time the sun is pass
ing over the line. It is also explained
that while the sun is in the equinox
the days and nights are of equal
length all over the world At the.
vernal or spring equinox the sun is
passing from south to north, and in
the northern hemisphere the days are
.lengthening.

BRAKE FOR STEAMSHIPS.
Navy Department to Test Steamship
Brake Invented By Louis La
coste of Montreal.
(Herald special.)

Washington, D. c., March 20-If
the weather and other conditions are
favorable a test is to be made today
by direction of the navy department
of the steamship brake invented by
Louis Lacoste of Montreal. The test
will be made on the battleship Indi-
ana in Delaware Bay and the results
will be awaited with interest in naval
and marine circles
The invention of the Montreal man
is designed to stop vessel suddenly.
1t consists of one steel wing about
four by fourteen feet long, hinged on
each side of the ship a little forward
of midships. The wings are operated
from the bridge of the vessel. When.
released they spring out, furnishing
resistance to the forward movement
of the vessel. 1t is asserted by the
inventor that the brake will not only
prevent collisions but will allow more
complete control of vessel in narrow
waters.

WATERS PIERCE GETS STAY.
Leniency of Supreme Court in Custer
Case Due to Enormity of Fine.

Austin, Texas, March 1S.-Attorney
General Davidson today received a
telegram from the clerk of the United
States court conveying information to
the effect that stay of execution of
two weeks, commencing Saturday,
had been granted in the Waters
Pierce Oil company case. The two
weeks allowed will enlarge the time
in which the mandate of the court
may issue to April 3. The purpose of
this action on the part of the court is
evidently to grant the oil company ad-
ditional time in which to file its mo-
ton for rehearing on the affirmance
of the custer and penalty case, where
by the fine of $1.623,90O levied by
Travis county jury, has been sus-
tanned. The oil company has recent
ly employed Senator Spooner of Wis
consin to assist in the preparation of
a motion for rehearing. 1t is believed
here that the leniency shown by the
court is due to a desire to give the
Oil company every opportunity to de-
fend its case inasmuch as the penalty
is so enormous. The attorney gen
erals office entertains no apprehen-
sion of the court reversing itself, as
the decision reached was unanimous.
This was the day for the mandate to
have been issued, had not the stay
been granted.
