ABOUT UNION DEPOT

From officials Of the North Coast
railroad it is learned that an agree
ment has been reached with the
Milwaukee for the building Of a

BY WOMAN'S CLUB.
COUNCIL IS WITH CLUB

The effort of the Young Women's
Christian association to step into
fight started by the Woman's club
and capture the police matron the
club had been advocating for some
time was rebuked by the represen-
tatives present at the city council
last night. The Y. w. c. A. wanted
to do the work at sos per month,
but the Woman's club leaders said
they wanted the city to make it's
own selection and fix the pay.
The council authorized the en-
ployment of one police matron at
this time, the question of compen-
sation to be left with the police
department.
Conditions in the Spokane city
jail and the handling of women
prisoners was scored more than
once, and at least three references
were made to the case of Agnes
Fair, the l. w. w. girl, who claimed
that one of the officers attempted
to outrage her while confined with
in a, cell in the city prison. 1t was
this charge of the Fair girl that led
the women to take action in the
matter.
The result of a ballot taken in
different churches and schools was
read. showing 1929 votes in favor
of the proposition OF the employ
ment of police matron.
Mrs. II. Nj. Prayer, recently a
candidate for membership on the
school board. made an effective
plea for a police matron. She said
that if the city used as diligent
efforts to keep women out of the
jailk that it does to paddock them

With "lot of fine necks" to cope

to fefer and postpone after the
usual manner, but Councilman
Dalke came to the aid Of the wo-
men, and the thing then went
through with whirl.

THE DIVERS DRESS.

Evolution of the Devices Used For
 Submarine Work.
 Among pioneer inventors to whom the diving dress in its present perfect ed form owes so much was William Hannis Taylor. The previous hit or miss attempts were superseded by the Taylor patent of June 20, 1888, in which the essential feature was the valve allowing the emission of con- stunned air without an influx of water.
 Previous to this time there had been the diving chests and the diving bell, of which the latter, introduced by Smeaton in ITS, was the safest and most practical device for submarine exploration. The diving bell has been developed alongside of the diving dress and is still in use.
 The general appearance of Taylor's diving armor was like that of a knights suit of mail, except for a prominent bulge in the body piece. A large pipe coming down from the sur face and penetrating the body piece at the bulge supplied the fresh air, while a short pipe entered the body piece on the other side and was provided with a valve which carried off the exhaust. Although diving armor has now reach ed its perfected state, this valve has never been materially improved upon. Scientific American.

Nhe Wonderful Old Time Serpent That
 Talked Like Man.
 In John Ashton's Curious Creatures of Zoology" there is quotation from "a little Lathe booke printed at Vien- na in the yeare 1851" which tells most wonderful story. Ashton quotes as follows: There was found in a move or rycke of corn almost as many snakes, adders and other serpentes as there was sheafes, so as no one sheaf could be removed but there presently appeared heape of ougly and fierce serpentes. The countrie men deter myned to set fire upon the barne and so attempted to do. but in vaine, for the straw would take no fire, although they 1aboured with all their wits and policye to burn them up.
 "At last there appeared unto them at the top of the heap huge great ser pente, which lifted up his head and spake with . mans voyce to the codn- trie men, saying, Cease to prosecute your devise, for you shall not be able to accomplish our burning, for wee were not bredde by nature, neither came we here of eur owne accord, but were sent.by God to take vengeance on the shines of mem"
 Ashton leaves us in the dark as to what the ''countFie" men did, but it is natural to suppose that they surren- dered at once.

Private Property.

"If had a dollar for every time a barber has asked me if I wanted that mole removed" remarked man the other day after he left tonsorial shop and was drawing his hand across smooth shayen face, 'I would go down to the office in the morning and tell the company to give my job to some one who really needed money, and then I would start on a long trip and just en- joy myself the rest of my days. Every time strike a new barber he asks me if I want him to remove that mole, and I tell him I do not. As rule, I can train a barber in four lessons not to ask the question, but a man can't always get the same lather peddler in a shop, and the question continues to come at me. AS a matter of fact, need that mole. If wanted it re- moved would not expect a barber to do 1t anyway. Why can't barbers re- frain from asking the question? It isn't their mole. It's my mole.

School Commissioner John F.. Brady appeared before the Common Council last night, in favor of his petition to extend the building line in Grand street. Alderman John M.

The petitioner explained that his building was already over the line and had been built before the line was established.
 Do you favor the widening of Grand street and the building of the Grand street bridge, MT. Brady?" ask ed Alderman O'Connell.
 Everybody in the room was smil- ing and MT. Brady believed he was bbing '.kidded." He smiled pleasantly to the aldermen and sashayed out of the chamber with a special good night" for O'Connell.
 After the meeting Alderman OCon- nell said he was serious about that Grand street bridge talk. MT. Brady assured him that he had understood him to be talking about Congress street bridge. He declared that he could not associate Congress street with 'his petition and therefore he had left the room.
