| Forest work of the Government al
the A. Y. =. Exposition. beginning
July 1. Mr. Ellis arrived in Seattle
the latter parto June and assumed
! charge of the two exhibits which
the Forest Service has installed.
The main exhibit of the Service
is located in the Government build
ing, and attracted much favorable
comment of a thousand visitors who
attended the fair on the opening day.
This exhibit consts, chiefly, of large
bromides and transparencies showing
views of forest areas and logging
operations. These are mounted in
suitable cases and are very impress
sive because of their size and beauty
of the natural coloring which has
been added TO the photographs by
Government artists. Sections of Doug
las fir and redwood trees are also
shown. These sections were taken
from the trees at points ten feet apart
for their full height. and are accom-
panied by diagrams which explain the
biO"Nii VI tltSt lWo SDtCltS. he re-
naming floor space is covered with
and stands showing photographs,
samples of wood, paper pulp and
other wood products.
The Forest Service is also operating
a completely equipped timber testing
laboratory in the machinery build
ing. Here the regular timber test
work of the Service is under way.
Each afternoon at three o'clock, a
large bridge timber eight by sixteen
inches In cross section and sixteen feet
long is tested, This timber is placed
in a large testing machine, and is
then loaded until 1t is completely
broken. The timber Is then sawed
into small pieces and tests are made
on these. Other sample tested speci-
mems of various manufactured forms,
such as wagon axles buggy spokes,
shafts, and wagon poles, are also
shown. Charts showing the strength
of all of the principal American
structural timbers are also on exhibit.
This testing laboratory is attracting
much attention from the lumbermen,
engineers and architects.

makers are impartial In their selec-
ton of the aviator from whom to
get their ideas. and while the Wright
brothers and Zeppelin are the most
popular, Bleriot and Latham have
their craft copied freely. II is also
safe to say that some of the designs
in toy shapes never have graced the
mind of any inventor. Though the

styles have been fitted up so as to
fly about at the end of cord, while
there are also captive balloons by
the score. Germans, Swedes, Eng
llsh and Americans are bending every
effort to outstrip one another in the
race for popular favor. The latest
novelty in the German output is a
policeman seated astride an aeroplane
with one arm extended in the direc-
ton of the fleeing aeronaut whom
he is supposed to be pursuing in a
sort of stop that manner. The other
hand is clasping a sword and waiving

AoRaiN AMoK r


"Amok" Is a religious fanaticism, q
madness under which a man makes up
his mind to kill any one he can until
he himself is Killed.. Brought on by
drink or religion or from whatever
cause, the process is the same. The
madman seizes his creese and rushes
headlong down the street, cutting at
every one he meets. To any one who
has seen a creese or parang further
detail Is unnecessary.
A man running amok Is as a dog
with hydrophobia, but the panic caus-
ed by the former Is by far the worse.
Like the mad dog, the madman Is fol.
lowed by noisy rabble, who sooner or
later run into their man and extermi-
nate him. When this vengeful rabble
Is made up Of bloodthirsty Malays and
Cinnamon Its wild rage and fury are
beyond control, beyond description.
The clamor and bloodcurdling yells Of
the pursuing crowd and the ever near
Ing shout of "Oran amok, oran amok!'
are incidents which can never be for
gotten by any one who has seen or
heard them. The bravest quails when
suddenly turning the corner of street
his ears are greeted with the cry of
"Oran amokw and few yards Off he
sees Malay running straight at him,
brandishing in his hand the bloody
creese with which he has already
slaughtered all In his way.-London

OUR STRENUOUS LIFE.

A New York servant girl shoots a
negro because he no longer loves her
A childless couple In Indiana quarrel
after so years of marriage, and seek
the divorce court. A burglar who is
to be executed for murder sings a re-
ligious song in all. A child who goes
to play where there are many child
rem stands aside from the others and
weeps. When asked what Is the mat
ter, he says piteously, % I'm wasting
my time, I'm wasting my time!'
Another young hopeless kills himself
because he has nothing to do. He Is
bored to extinction, literally. His
case partly explains the others on the
list. The servant girls head and
heart are such that she loses all her
feeble sources of emotional activity
with her lover. II the Indiana couple
had had children and something to
think about besides their clashing in
diyidualities, they might never ex.
ploded in immoralities and separation.
boredom leads 10 pernicious activity
and divorce. The murderer who turns
10 religious songs and lyricau satis-
factions has found an occupation too
late. IL he had been a poet in his
youth he would probably never have
been a murderer. Thee hild who wept
at the party may have had impossible
ideals put into its head too early in
life. Mere youth was not enough for
the infant and he had nothing to take
It's place. So. of course. he was hor-
ribly Dored.-Mansfield News.

IMMIGRATION FIGURES.

The tide of alien travel has shifted
most markedly during the past six
months, as compared with either six
month period of last year. The total
number of immigrants to land upon
these shores for six months beginning
Januray 1, 1909, has exceeded half a
miIiion-524,124. For the correspond
ing six months of 1908, It was but
1852. Stated in another way the
total immigration for the year 1908
was but 41O,319. which was almost
114,000 less than the number that had
been admitted during the first half
Of this year.
For the first six months of 1909,
the steerage arrivals were more than
four times the number OF steerage de-
partures while for the same period in
1908, the steerage departures were
more than two times the number OF
arrivals.
migration came in 1908. For the first
half of the year 1907, it amounted to
1882 arrivals, nearly so per cent
more than during the past six months
period and almost five times the num-
ber in the corresponding half of 1908.
For the last six months Of 1907 it kept
up so we'll that the number was $751;
PA, making the total for 1907, 1884,
166.
Undoubtedly the change was due to
the busiress depression here in 1907,
the full realization of which did not
reach the immigration countries and
sections until the following year, when
hopefulness became prevalent here OF
an early resumption OF business gene
rally 20 Its full capacity. The excess
of departures in 1908 is accounted for
by the known fact that very many
use OF the season of idleness or slack
. work here, to pay viist to the coun-
tries from which they had come at an
earlier period. For each of the months
of March. April and May, more than
100000 arrived. but there was fall
ing of in June as has been usual in
normal years.
OF this years arrivals, nearly one
fourth give as their occupation, farm
laborers." and about the same number
as simply laborers. OF the remainder
$1,000 clacsed themselves as servants,
5000 carpenters, abuot the same num-
Der clerks. and more than 1000 tallors
10000 women mad children were reg
/ istered as without occupation.
With the urgent call for farm la
borers throughout the west and the
resumption of operations to nearly
full extent in the Industrial world
generally. IL is practically certain the
immigration total for this year will
again considerably exceed the mil
lion mark. -,

AN INTERESTING OCCASION IN THE
MASONIC WORLD.

Dedication of the new Masonic Tenn
pie, on Charles street, today brings to
Baltimore a large and distinguished
body of members of the ancient and
famous order, who gather to help cele-
brate the occupation of a home which
Baltimore Masons may well be proud of
and at the same time congratulate the
grand master of the Grand Lodge of
Maryland, Gen. Thomas j. Shryock,
upon the completion of his twenty-fifth
year in that post of honor and dignity.
The pleasure of the occasion is shared
by all the people of the city, whether
or not they are members of the order.
The spirit with which the erection of
the new Temple was undertaken when
the old one was destroyed aroused gen.
admiration. The walls were hardly
cold before the work of rebuilding be-
gan, and while the loss of many relics
and decorations was a grievous one, the
new building is an impressive monu-
ment to the courage and devotion of
the Masons of this city and State, who,
with Grand Master Shryock, are the
recipients today of multitude of good
wlshes.-Baltimore News, Noy. 16.

VIGOROUS PROSECUTION OF ELEC-
TON FRAUDS NEEDED.

There cannot be doubt as to what
course Republican leaders should take
in reference to the allegations of fraud
in the Wilson ballot law counties. Be-
fore the election charges were repeat
eddy made that the laws were being
violated, and after the election the
charges were reiterated with emphasis.
1t is the business of the States Attor-
neys and the Grand Juries of the vari-
Gus counties to see that proper investi-
cation is made of such allegations and
that prosecution is undertaken where
1t is justified, but experience has dem
Onstr ated that, no matter how much
fraud may be committed in these cOun-
ties, there is little likelihood that the
authorities will attempt to bring any
body to book for it.
A complete showdown of how cleo
tons are conducted in these counties is
well worth the trouble and expense re-
CURED to make it. Even if there is
not proof enough at hand to convict
any person of crime, it will certainly
help to prevent future frauds if the
public is let into the secret of how
grossly unfair election officials can act
within the law
Public opinion is essential to proper
enforcement Of all law. 1t is not suffi-
GENTLY aroused as yet to the gravity of
the otfenses perpetrated in a number
Of the counties to make its If felt. The
opportunity to bring its influence into
operation by disclosure of the trickery
and unfairness employed at the recent
election should not be overlooked.
