The Balloon Fish.

A Berlin journal, Prometheus,
contains a letter from Africa, in
which the writer describes a fish
which is known to the natives as
the fahaka. 1t makes its appear
ance in the Nile at high water time
The creature might properly be
named a balloon fish. It's whole
body, with the exception of part
Of the underside, is covered with a
thick layer of a jellylike substance
On the uncovered part there are
many sharp prongs. When attack
ed the fish rises to the surface, in
hales air until its body assumes al
most a globular form, then turns
upon its back, leaving the protect
ing prongs upward in the water.
"Fish and man alike know how
sharp these are and what painful
wounds they can inhict, and they
give the balloon fish a wide berth"

The July Smart Set

The Smart Set reaches the high
water mark of attractiveness in its
July number. Marearita Spalding
Gerry, whose Toy Shop" and other
stories of sentiment have charmed
thousands of readers, has written a
charming novel, "The Last Castle"
which appears complete in this num-
Der.
This is a story of the "habitant"
section on Canada. A delicious vein
of the spirit of Old France is woven
throughout the romance of a young
Montreal girl, who is loved by two
men, one a young English lawyer,
practical and energetic, the other a
pampered and Observation-Disclosures
of the old haute noblesse of France.
The girl comes into the lives Of both
men like a clarifying ray of pure
sunshine, rousing one to greater
business achievement, the other to
an exhaltation of soul that he had
never before felt in a somewhat
mooted past. This story of Mrs.
Gerry's is masterpiece of tender
sentiment and beautiful word i'm.

There is an exceptionally long list
of contributors to this July number,
among whom are some of the most

THE WORD "sHIP.v
From Digging Out the Tree Trunk For
the Primitive Boat.


From Digging Out the Tree Trunk For
the Primitive Boat.
There is no doubt of the evolu-
ton of our great modern ships
from a floating log on which our
earliest ancestors sat astride and
with hands and pole navigated the
small streams, and just as surely
has our word "ship" come from
the first improvement of that prim-
tive craft. The etymology of the
word tells us of the evolution of
the craft.
When the superior mind of our
Aryan ancestors conceived the idea
Of following out the floating log
and thus decreasing its weight,
adding to its buoyancy and better
fitting it for their transportation,
they had to find a word to express
what they were doing, so they nat
urally used a root that they under
stood, which was "skap." This root
signified the idea of digging, hol-
lowing out and scraping. That is
what they did to make their boats,
and the "skap" became a noun to
designate the boat.
That root "skap" has lived and
grown dumng the 10000 years and
more that have passed since it was
first used to give boat its name,
and after the breaking up and di-
vision of the Aryan race it followed
all of its broadly divided branches
to their new homes to be used in
all of their tongues.
The Greeks have the root in
their word "skufes," meaning
hollow cup, and the Latins have it
in "scabere," signifying to scrape.
In those languages, as well as in
Sanskrit, it is in many words of a
similar Specification. 1t came to
the English through the Teutonic
type, "skepa," meaning a ship, or
vessel, or what was followed out.
In the middle English it was
"schip," and Chaucer used the
plural, "shippes." In the Anglo
Saxon it was "scip," while the Ice
lander made it Skip" and the Dane
"skib." The old high German had
"scif" and the German "schiff."
So we see the change through
the century of centuries has been
slight, the same sound with the
same Specification having gone
from father to son through all of
the generations, giving us the same
word when we speak of the Lusi-
tania as our Aryan ancestors used
when they spoke of the floating
log that they had followed by dig
ging and scraping with stones and
shells.-New York Herald.

When the Poet Was Happy.

Bjornson, the poet, was once
asked on what occasion he got the
greatest pleasure from his fame as
poet.
His answer was: cit was when a
delegation from the Right came TO
my house in Christiania and smash
ed all the windows, because when
they had thus attacked me and
we're starting for home again they
felt that they ought to sing some
thing, and so they began to sing
Yes, we love this land Of ours
They could do nothing elsel They
had to sing the song of the man
whom they had attacked" -Lon-
don Chronicle.

The company lost 100000 feet of logs
which had been cut from the Under

Considerable standing timber and
cordwood were also destroyed. A house
belonging to j. w. Wooding was burn
ed, also the home of Jas. Parker. Mrs.
Parker and daughters were unable to
save most OF the contents of their home.
The Panhandle Co. and the I. & w.

caused by the fire was in the neigbor-
hood of $4,000.

BONNER COUNTY WENT DRY
Drys Got Majority Of About
$50 Votes.
Saloons Close On August 18th.

Another big section of the state of
Idaho was brought under the domina-
ton of the dry forces Wednesday, when
the voters of the county by majority
in the neighborhood OF $50 decided to
prohibit the sale of liquor in the county.
For the past six weeks fierce fight
has been waged between the saloon
and ant-saloon forces. Considerable
sums of money have been spent by each
side. The dries have been particularly
active in waging the fight, and have had
speakers in every town and precinct
in the county.
Standpoint, which had generally been
counted on for large majority for the
vets, gave them majority of but Is,
large part OF the wet vote having
been counted from the district in which
the saloons are located, the better resi-
dence districts giving dry majorities.
The vets would undoubtedly have had
much larger vote in the city had 1t
not been for disturbances on the streets
while meetings of the dries were in
progress. The disregard for law and
order shown by adherents of the saloons
turned great many votes to the dry
column, making the issue one of good
citizenship. The vets had engaged all
the livery teams in town for election
day and automobiles were brought from
Spokane to serve the dries. During the
night preceding the election an attempt
was made to put the autos out of COM
mission. an act of vandalism which was
charged up against the vets and cost
them some votes.
Priest Lake gave majority of l9 for
the vets aud Priest River IA. LcClede

rolled up majority of los for the cause

get out the voters. VIM. Vane, as

The closing of the Old Town saloons

The Pend Oreille Valley 10 being
developed faster than any other
section OF the Northwest. New
port is at the gateway and will
profit by this development.

Over $1,000 acres of land in the
National Forests of Washington are to
be eliminated from the reserves as
result of proclamation issued by
President Taft. Of this amount OF
land 1854 acres are located within the
Kaniksu National Forest.
The elimination from the Kaniksu
forest IS all along or near the Pend
Grille River. 1t consists of four seper-
ate parcels of land in township 80 north,
range A east, and in townships 36, 38
and 80 north, range 43 west, E. W. NJ.
The reason for eliminating the greater
portion is the fact that large percent.
age has passed out of Government
ownership, making administration of
the remainder difficult.
These alterations consist mostly OF
railroad lands and patented timber and
stone claims, with a comparatively
small era of agricultural land, of which
part is being held as squatter claims,
part has been filed upon under the old
homestead law and part has been fled
upon under the forest homestead act OF
June IL. 1906.
Approximately a section OF the
elimination, located at the junction of
Sullivan Greek with the Pend Orielle
River, is covered by mining locations.
The new townsite of Metaline Falls is
located there.
There remain within the Kaniksu
forest some areas of land chiefly valuable
for agricultural purposes. These areas
are for the most part made up of
meadow lands in narrow strips along
the streams, 80 situated that their eli.
mination is impracticable from an ad-
ministrative point of view. Agricultural
settlement and development of such
lands within the forest ia encouraged,
and nearly 5000 acres has already neen
listed under the forest homesteads act
of June II, 1906.

FOREST SERVICE NEWS ITEMS
LeClerc Greek Gases Decided by
Secretary Ballinger.
Lands Eliminated From Forest.

The local Office of the Kaniksu Ma
tional Forest has been, advised as to de-
cisions of Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger in the celebrated LeClerc basin
cases. About forty homesteaders in the
LeClerc country, most of whom had
made final proof on their homesteads
were contested by the Forest Service.
Decisions favorable to the settlers were
given in most cases by the land Office
officials at Spokane, but the Forest
Service took appeals to the General
Land Office at Washington. The Gener-
al Land Office decided against the set
tiers whereupon appeal was taken by
them to the Secretary of the Interior.
The latter has rendered decisions favor
able to the following settlers: Alfred
R. McInnis, Eloise Van Slate. Jos. Van
Slate, and their applications have been
passed to patent.
Entries of the following have been
cancelled and are lost to them: Geo
rge Neff, David E. Cook, Patrick Hurley,
VIM. Amsbaugh. The entries of A. ].
Slusser, J. L. McAbee and Thos. P.
1yerson, who have not yet made appli-
cation for patent, are left intact and
they are in position to get patents if
they fully comply with the homestead
laws.
All these claims are in townships SO
and 81, range A and are located in
valuable white pine belt.
Supervisor Millar of the Kaniksu
National Forest is arranging to move
the Forest Office from Newport to
Coolin at the South end Of Priest Lake,
where the Office will be maintained dur
ing the next four months. The reason
for making the change is the more CEN
trail location which will be of great
service in the matter of fire fighting.
From Coolin all parts of the Forest
tributary to the lake can be reached in
q short time by boat.
Forest Assistant G. B. Swim, will
continue to be stationed at Newport and
will have charge of the territory along
the Pend Oreille river as far north as
the McInnis mill.

SPIRIT LAKE TEAM SHUT OUT
Newport Wins Victory In Well
Played Game.
Standpoint to be Here Next Sunday.

To the great pleasure of the Newport
ties assembled at the ball ground last
Sunday our boys administered shut
out to the Spirit Lake team while they
gathered in three runs for the adorn-
ment of their own side of the score sheet.
The game was little too much of a
pitchers battle. neither side hitting
the ball very often or hard. Newport's
runs were the results OF a timely hit
and few errors that were likewise
timely. Rosenbourough in the box for
Newport, maintained the good record
he has started this year. and got thir.
teen strike.outs. allowing but two hits.
In the last three games played bv our
team Rosy has scored 45 strike-outs and
allowed but four hits. He is playing q
good game this year, his pitching arm
is in good trim and it takes more than
few errors in the field to ruffle his
temper or spoil his smile.
For the first five innings neither side
scored although both reached third
base. In the fifth Newport got one run.
which looked big in a game like that
and in the seventh the game was cinched
with two more.
There were no sensational plays, the
game ran along smoothly to its finish
without stirring up much excitement.
But it was lot of satisfaction for our
boys to mark up the shut-out against
the Lake City boys.
Next Sunday the Standpoint Tigsrs
will be here and their reputation in the
past is such as to insure the necessity
Of our boys getting in the game early
and staying to the finish if they want to
win. Newport is playing good, clean
ball with an all-home team that is
credit to the town and worthy of the
support of the fans.
