Baths May Be Accepted

City Attorney Long informed the
supervisors yesterday that the mu-
nicipality had power to accept the
gift of the James Lick baths from it's
trustees and to run the institution as
a free public utility. In behalf of
the trustees II. L. Matthews offered
to give the building and equipment to
the city If the latter would assume a
funded debt of about $4,000 and keen
the baths open for the public in ae-
cordance with the wish of James Lick
in his bequest The private manage
ment has found it necessary, especially
since the losses of the fire, to exact a
small charge.
The third book of opinions of the
city attorney has just been published
by the municipality. 1t contains
some 200 opinions given by City Attor-
ney Long during the last three years.
The first volume contained opinions
of City Attorney Harry T. Creswell
during 1S93-9S and the second opinions
of City Attorney Franklin K. Lane
during 1S99-19O2.
OF the present book 81 opinions are
directed TO the board Of supervisors
and concern it's powers under the
charter. Thirty-four opinions were
for the board of works and 12 dealt
with the powers of the police commits

DOGS HIGHLY TRAINED
TO AID IN POACHING
Warned of Advance of Game
Keepers and Hide Quarry

During the trial of poacher at
Llangollen, North Wales, it came out in
evidence that his dog companion on
gave him notice of the presence and
whereabouts of the game keepers
Actions of that kind are all a matter
of training, says the Edinburgh Scotch
man, and when the training runs in
families the habit becomes quite in
stinctive, SO that with the pups of old
poaching dogs very little teaching is
necessary. The best type of dog for
that purpose is the "lurcher," product
of the greyhound and smooth coated
Scotch collie, especially If the dog is
to be used for hare poaching after dark.
A highly trained dog Of that stamp
hunts silent'-that is, 1t never gives a
whimper in the chase. A dog of inferior
instinct often whimpers, and If it finds
its prey outmaneuvering or outdistanc-
ing 1t gives utterance to loud yelps-a
perilous thing to do on A dark. still
night. as it may be heard for a mile or
more around.
An old Ayrshire poacher of a past
generation had a wonderfully trained
dog. Starting from home, he and the
dog went in opposite directions, the
dog often making a circuit of many
miles, but never failing to NEE it's mas
ter at some appointed place. That dog
also acted as a spy on game keepers,
especially those of the old tippling,
ruffianly school," now almost extinct.
Dogs of that kind, so highly trained
and instinctively hunters, often CO.
operate among themselves in forays,
and by skillfully initiating lessons
taught them by man often do an i'm
mense amount of injury. The writer
adds 'I knew two collie dogs that
showed great skill in cooperative
rabbit hunting, and when they
snapped more than they could carry
to their respective homes (wide apart)
they hid the carcasses and removed
them bit by bit" Night sheep worrying

UNITED FUNERAL
SERVICES PLANNED
British Societies of San Fran.
cisco Will Join in Rites for
Departed Monarch

Arrang ements are under way to OBJ
serve the death of King Edward VII
with a united funeral service by the
British societies of San Francisco. The
officers of the various organizations are
receiving hasty summons to attend a
general conference to determine on the
details of the mortuary rites.
The ceremony will be enacted in a
pavilion in much the same manner as
the observance of the death of Queen
Victoria was held All of the members
of the different societies and orders will
be required to attend and the services
conducted by the Episcopal church.
Rev. f. w. Clampett officiated durin 8
the servic IS to England's former queen
in the sold Mechanics pavilion, which
was draped in mourning.
Among the societies that will take
part in the services are: The Sons of
st. George, the British benevolent So
ciety, the Caledonians, st. Andrews.
Thistle club and other English and
Scottish organizations.
Great sorrow is expressed among the
officers of these organizations over the
death of Englands monarch and a
great demonstration of loyalty is ex-
pected from the united societies on the
occasion of the funeral services.
Thomas Poyser. grand secretar yof
the order of the Sons of st. George and
head of the Pacific coast jurisdiction,
said last night that services would be
observed by all the branches of his
order throughout the coast

HOW TO BE POPULAR?
DON'T BE A HYPOCRITE
Men Who Show Their Real

The way to be popular has been ex-

look him in the eye and give him a
smile from your heart" This is a
sure enough recipe. 1t has been used
a million times from Alcibiades down
to day before yesterday, says the Mime
apolis Journal. 1t has been worked by
some of the greater frauds in Christen-
dom to subserve their own ends. The
man who is seeking popularity, posing
for it, angling for 1T, usually doesn't de-
serve il. Keep your admiration for men
who show you their real selves, who,
when they are bothered or worried, or
mad, or glad, make it manifest by ap-
propriate facial expression, and who
are not constantly standing themselves

COCOANUT ROOT GROWS
TOWARD THE OCEAN
Tree IncIines to Sea i'm Absence
of Obstruction

1t is fact not generally known that
a large majority of cocoanutsN drop
from the trees in the night after hang
ing for a period of about IA months
for ripening. The action of the heavy
dew Ioosens the seal with which nature
has provided the nut and allows it to
fall, says the London Globe. Nuts
wanted for planting are either gathered
into heaps or placed under sheds where
they are allowed to sprout before
planting, in order that good healthy
"sprout nuts may be selected.
An interesting story is told by man
who resided for some years in the
tropics. He planted a cocoanut tree
behind a broad fence some distance
from the sea. The tree grew perfectly
straight until it reached the top of the
fence, when it began to grow toward
the ocean, leaning foot or more: then
a shed was built quite near the fence
but several feet higher and the tree
again grew straight until the roof OF
the shed was reached, when it again
leaned toward the sea, forming a very
curious and odd looking tree.
The irregular growth was wholly at
tributable to the influence of the salt
dir. No magnet is truer to the pole
than the root of the cocoanut tree to
the ocean, for when the root breaks its
husk it points directly to the sea.

KING OF MONT BLANC
DEFIES FATHER TIME
Noted Guide Kills Self Rather
Than Suffer Old Age

Old Adolphe Balmat the King of
Mont Blame who has killed himself
because he could pot bear to be degraded
by old age from the courses extraor-
dinaires" to leading tourists mules
up bride paths, had been associated
with several tragedies, one of which
was peculiarly pathetic, says the West
minister Gazette. He is said to have
been one of the guides who were with
Richard Lewis Nettleship, the brilliant
and beloved tutor of Balliol college, Ok
ford, when he perished in an attempt
to ascend Mont Blanc on August 25,
1892. They were overtaken by a snow
storm. and compelled to pass the night
in a hole they had hewn in the ice
Next morning the guides wished to
wait for lull; but Nettleship, saying
"Allons," stepped out into the storm, to
which he soon succumbed Nettleship
is buried at Chamonix, and the inscrip-
ton on the cross over his grave ends
with the quotation: He maketh the
storm a calm"

LESS DEMOCRATIC
than HIS FATHER
Court Gayety Expected to Lam
guish Under Reign of New
King George V

LONDON, May 6.-George Frederick
Ernest Albert, prince of Wales. who
now becomes king, is the second son of
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
He was born at Marlborough house
June 8, 1865, IL months after the birth
of his older brother, the late duke of
Clarence.
He and his brother entered the navy
together as cadets and he spent two
years on the Britannia. He then start
ed on a three years voyage around the
world on the Bacchante. In 1892, when
his brother died. he became heir APP
parent and took his seat in the house
of lords as duke of York
In May, 1893, his engagement was an
nounced to Princess Victoria May of
Teck and they were married July 10,
1898. Six children were born to them
Edward Albert, Albert Frederick, Vic
toria Alexandra, Henry William, George
Edward and John Charles.
The prince became duke of Cornwall
when his father took the throne and
soon after he started on a tour of the
colonies. He opened the first parlia-
ment of the commonwealth of Aus
tralia In celebration of his safe re-
turn he was entertained by the London
5, 1905, on which occasion he delivered
his well remembered advice to England
to wake up.
In the fall of 1905 ne went to India,
and when he returned there was an
other celebration. On this occasion he
said that the task of governing India
will be made the easier, if we, on our
part, nfuse into it wider element of
sympathy
His Indian trip was generally re-
garded as unsuccessful from a political
viewpoint.
In 1908 he visited Canada to attend
the celebration at Quebec and on that
occasion met Vice President Fair
banks.
The prince is less democratic than
was his father, and does not have such
an ardent love for sports. 1t has been
predicted, therefore, that after his
cession to the throne the court gayety
that always was feature during Ed
wards reign will be less marked.

King Ferdinand of Bulgaria is, we
are told, an accomplished modern Greek
scholar. During his recent visit to the
sultan of Turkey, che king found much
pleasure in walking about the streets
of Pera '-incognito." and conversing
freely with the Greeks-shop keepers
and merchants. During one of his
promenades he met the Greek minister
and Nine. Griparis. He told the minis
ter in Greek that he was astonished at
the number of Greeks to be found in
Constantinople, and the minister. on his
part was no less surprised at the mon

NiCOTINE'S GODFATHER
Famous Ambassador Introduced
Tobacco into PORTUGAL

AilHouSH the rather of Jean Nicot
was simple notary he spared no eff
Tort TO educate his son. AS soon as it
was possible he sent the youth to
Paris, where it was not long before his
learning attracted the attention of tbe
king, Henry H.
FOR time he served Henry as secre-
tary. and Francis II, when he came To
the throne, sent Nicot as envoy and
ambassador to Portugal
Always interested in men and affairs
says the Boston Globe, the ambassador
met at Lisbon Flemish merchant who
told him rare stories in regard TO what
their ships had brought from foreign
shores to increase commerce in Flan-
ders. He gave Nicot some weeds of an
American plant that was unknown in
Europe. He told him of certain valu-
able qualities of the plant, mentioning
particularly the medicinal properties it
had.
Nicot sent these seeds to Catherine
de Medici. telling her all that the mer-
chant had said. On his return from
Portugal Catherine presented him with
one of the plants which had been
raised from the seed
This was tobacco. and the botanists
named 1t Nicotiana, in honor of Jean
Nicot. The Chevalier Thevet. a French
traveller, disputed with Nfcot the honor
plant into France, but the name given
it goes to prove that the honor belongs
to the ambassador at Portugal
1t is doubtful if Nicot himself or
Catherine de Medici realized the enor-
nous value of this plant in commerce.
Bue Jean Nicot rendered another serv-
ice to his own country. 1t was he who
produced the first model of a French
dictionary. He called his work the

but it was not ready for publication
until he had been dead six years.

When Nicot died his body was laid at
rest in the Church of st. Paul at Paris.
where many important persons have
been buried. This church suffered des-
ecration during the revolution and
many tombs were destroyed.
After his death the question came I'M
of erecting some kind of a monument
to him for his services to France

form of huge snuff box bearing the
inscription:

Relief Home Appointments

After a three hour session yesterday
the board of health opened it's doors
and announced that it had appointed a
chief commissary'' for the relief home.
Thomas Gosland was the man chosen,
at a salary of 800 a month Despite
the fact the salary appropriation of the
home is exhausted the board also added
five others to the force.
Gosland, it is believed, is not in line
TO step into Wollenberg's shoes. but
has been selected by Mayor Mccarthy
to find a way of getting rid of the
superintendent. Wollenberg has the
backing of virtually all the charitable
organizations IN the city, and although
he was star appointee of the Taylor
regime, the administration has so far
found it impOlitic to move against him
The others appointed were: Assistant
Engineer j. Nicholson, Mrs. NJ j.
Leonard as attendant, J. Reiss as or
derby, Samuel Robertson as attendant
and Mrs. Josephine Yoell as seamstress
in the emergency hospital service.
The board asked all it's subordinates
to purchase stock in the Panama Pa
