Scientists have never explained to
their satisfaction the light known pop
ularly as the "will-o'- the-wisp" and
also known as ignis fatuus.. The phe-
nomenon has been attributed to the
combustion Of carbons and sulphurs
ignited by sulphureted hydrogen. This
theory has been shown to be a fallacy
by persons who have passed their
hands through the so called fire and
felt no heart. The strange fire flies
fastest over cemeteries and over low
lands and swamps when no wind is
blowing. Superstitious persons attrib-
ute the Pickering fires to the souls Of
the dead. The most plausible theory
is that the phenomenon is due to ra-
dio-active carnations rising from be-
meath the ground.-Harper' Weekly.

added as follows:
"Windows and doors don't fit.
"Faucets don't shut water off.
"Water doesn't run from bathtub.
"Stairs have no ratings
These brought the long disagreement
to a climax. and the tenant moved

Sept p. - Bobby Mil Ter has been eliminated from the calculations of the detectives who are trying to get some clue to the perpetrators of the robbery of gold dust betWeen Skagway and Dawson At first it was thought on account of the similarity of the robbery to the one in which Miller played the stellar role in 1906, that that young man had been getting busy again but it has since transpired that at the time the bricks were taken from the express box and the mail sack Miller was sojourning in small town in Maine.

CABINET TO MEET
 THIS DAY
OFFICIAL FAMILY OF PRESIDENT TAFT GETS TOGETHER
 TODAY.
SOME PUzzLING PROBLEMS
What Is to Be Done Regarding Sec retary 5alIinger and Theodore Roosevelt Are Matters Which Will Be Discussed at Length.
The Citizen Special Service. l

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. For the first time since the close of the last session of Congress the members of the Cabinet meet with President Taft tomorrow One of the matters to be discussed. and one which threatens to furnish a bone of contention over which there will be much quarreling, will be he disposition that is to be made of Secretary of the Interior Ballin- ger. It is well known that a num- Der of close advisors of the presi- dent have strongly counseled that the secretary be asked to resign. and it is believed that the President would be glad to be relieved of the incubus that Ballinger has become to the administration. What about Colonel Roosevelt" is another ques- ton that will certainly be discussed at length as will be the matter of taking some radical steps toward the preservation Of the party organ ization during the fall campaign. IL is certain that a more progressive policy will be advocated by some of the members of the official fam fly as none can fail to read the handwriting on the wall which pre- diets the success of the Insurgent members of the party in November. The government of Alaska is also bound to be considered at length and in regard to this valuable infOrma- ton is expected from the Attorney General and the Secretary of Com merce and Labor. who have re gently returned from q tour of the North country. And the matters that will be touched upon in the Presi- dents message will also be discussed carefully, as it is realized that a crisis in the affairs of the admins tration is at hand

On Tuesday last in the municipal court Gene Closterman, charged with living in a house of ill-fame, was given a sentence of 90 days, the sentence being suspended for three days to allow of his getting out of town.
 William Sharky, alias "Starchy," had his case continued for a few days so that he could get out of town and relieve the burg of his presence.

It developed that this man had been a hard worker since he first struck the camp and there was absolutely nothing against him.
