4 Frank Admission.
Representative Charles F. Littlefield
of Maine now admits that the plank in
the last republican national platform
regarding injunctions was put there to
placate the labor leaders and with no
intention of its being carried out. He
carries his frankneSs to an even great
err extent and says the plank is per
fectIy nOn-committal," and means moth
ing, but simply a dishonest trick to
lure the unwary workingman and de-
lude him with the belief that the re-
publican party was his friend If the
truth was told, it would no doubt reveal
that the tariff revision plank was an

of fulfillment, and that the whole plat
form was tissue of falsehood and
false pretense.
Secret Publicity.
The bill providing publicity for cam
paign expenditures and contributions
passed at the last session and signed
by President Taft, is not what the peo-
pie have for years been demanding
The house provided for publicity be-
fore election, but the senate refused to
pass such a measure, and as a result
Of a conference publicity will not be
made until after the elections have
taken place.
What's the use Of publicity after an
election, when what has been done can
not be undone?
Publicity before an election would
seem TO be the only kind of publicity
worth anything; for then the voters
would be given timely notice as to
which party and candidates were of, by
and for the trusts, and which were of,
for and by the people.

ST. Kilda

Macleod of Macleod intends to sell
the island of St. Kilda. The lonely ISL
and lies out in the Atlantic about so
miles west of the Lews. 1t has under a
hundred inhabitants, whose ways are
somewhat primitive. A steamer always
goes in time for the bird nesting, and
during the summer months another
steamer sails on special dates. The
cliffs which beat back the whole force
of the Atlantic, are of stupendous
height One OF them, Conachar. is about
1900 feet high and is cut down almost
perpendicularly to the waters edge.
Wild fowling is the staple industry, and
a party of islanders have killed as many
as 1900 solan geese in a night. The
air of St Kilda has been described as
full of feathered animals; the sea IL
covered with them, the houses are or
namented by them, the ground is
speckled with them like a fiowery
meadow in May, the women look like
feathered MercGries, for their shoes are
made of a gannet's skin; everything
smells of feathers."-Court Journal.

Learning to Fly

More gliders are made and used now
adays than ever. The glider is prac-
tically flying machine without an en-
gine and it is by the use of a glider
that the aviator gets his elementary
knowledge of the art of flying.
In glider one first gets accustomed
to the sense of being off the earth and
first comes to have some knowledge of
the effect of wind and air currents on
the planes. The use of the glider is in
fact the necessary primary schooling
for one who would learn to fly.
In a glider the airman gets the feel
of things with himself suspended in the
air and moving through 1t carried by
a highly sensitive support; he must
learn as far as he can the control of his
support and he must learn also self
control in this novel situation before he
can begin to undertake the control of
machine driven through the air by an
engine, which also he must control and
the glider and the flying machine are
two very different propositions. 1t is
recalled that the Wright brothers and
all other aviators began and long con-
tinued practice with gliders before in
stalling engines and essaying fight.
There are now more and more flying
machines, their number is increasing
almost daily, and there are now also
more gliders, more and more men and
boys building gliders and floating or
learning to float through the air. The
great majority of those now MAKING
and using gliders will never get beyond
the primary stage, but it is from among
the gliders of the present day that the
ranks of the flying machine operators
of the immediate future will be re-
cruited.

return to pack her goods; but as morn
ing brought no signs of her the matter
was reported to the police and Detec-
tive Furmup was put on the case.
THE girl seemed so full of tricks
and pranks from what l could gather"
said Furmun, that l thought her action
was another to frighten her friends,
but after working on the case a short
time I realized that it was something
more serious. 1 hunted through Sutro
forest and as much of the country as
l could, but found no trace of her. In
my opinion the girl, after leaving the
head nurse, secured some poison, which
she could do easily, and then ran on
blindly until she found herself by Lake
Merced, where she put an end to her
life"
This is the general opinion of all
connected with the case. The city
chemist was given the stomach of the
girl to analyze. Just what weight
there was in the suspicious as to the
honesty of the girl will never be
known. Those who had lost articles
were asked if they desired to examine
her trunk. but they refused to do SO.
They feared that an examination might
confirm their suspicious, and what
doubt there remained they extended to
the benefit of their former comrade.
The body will be shipped to the girls
home in Walnut Creek, where her
mother and brother live.

FIRE GUTTED FAIR
Will BE REOPENED
Belgium Exposition to Continue
in Spite of the Destructive
Conflagration
American Section Practically
Saved From Ravages of the
hungry Flames

BRUSSELS, Aug 15.-Although il
VIII take many days to place the Bel
glan exposition in fit condition for
the reopenlng, such will be the case,
according to the executive committee.
which met today. A large majority of
the buildings are still intact. however.
The known loss caused by the fire
which swept through the white Citv"
yesterday Is between $4,000. 600 and
$lo'oO0,oO0. This is chiefly confined to
the Belgian and British sections, but
the damage by smoke and water has
peen general and will add materially
to the total loss.
The American section escaped the
hres. The art exhibition was in a
oulldlng two miles distant from the
names. The French loss is confined to
tIfe building in which various foods
were displayed, and the pavilion of
the city of Paris, containing industrial
exhlblts and models from the schools of
arts
Ihe recovery of valuable collections
OF jewels helped to reduce the first es
innate of the loss. The magnificent
CORRECTION of precious stones owned by
Belgians and valued at s3,00O.OO was
unearthed from the ruins unharmed.
There was considerable pilIaging after
and during the fire and thieves made
a heavy haul.
IL Is believed parliament will vote
extra credits for the purpose of clear
ing away the ruins and constructing
new buildings.
TREASURES ARE SAVED
fortunately, the most priceless art
treasures which had been loaned to the
exposition or acquired by it, including
e,ooo Gobelin tapestries, large exhi-
bitlon of jewelry, many paintings. mar
ples ana ancient furniture, were re-
moved by the police. firemen and expo
sitlon employees beyond the reach of
the names and the pillaging criminals
VINO attempted to take advantage of
the disaster
In the Belgian and British sections
the hames spread with such rapidity
that practically nothing was saved. A
gale carried the fire through the Rer
messe, Jammed with a Sunday crowd of
nearly 100000, with such speed that II
is considered miracle that the panic
stricken masses got out with a loss no
greater than two killed and 80 injured.
Ihe British loss is very heavy. 1t
includes Tudor panelings from the
Toronto museum, costly Morlaix tap
estry and priceless furniture from the
collections of Bernard More, on which
he refused to set any price They were
insured for 100000. Most of the French
dressmakers' exhibition, which was in
sured for millions, was safe.
"A few of the wild beasts in the me-
nagerie which escaped suffocation were
shot by the keepers, who found them
covering in fright in various parts of
the grounds.

Before Large Audience at

and physical culture to 1000 women

theater in Twelfth street. There were
three things she admonished the woman
who wishes to be fair of face and
graceful of form not to do. These
were: Don't smoke cigarettes, don't
drink cocktails" and ''eat little meat"
There was one other. given indirectly
which cautioned girls against mar
riage at too young an age.
DO not think / am talking anti
in girls being girls as long as they
can. a man is man always, but there
are some things that girl may do
only while she is young and not mar
ried"
Later Miss Kellermann informed her
audience that nobody need be fat She
talked about indulgence in victuals and
drink, and in that thought uttered her
admonftion:
Eat little meat. Many great think
ers are vegetarians, including Bernard
Shaw and Hall Caine.
There must be absolutely no smok-
ing for women" continued Miss Keller
mann. drawing applause. Cocktails
and the like are bad, also, but if you
have these habits it is better to quit
slowly
At the close of her discourse Miss
Kellermann had questions from her
audience and she disrobed, standing
forth in the black tights in which she
swims and dives.
