PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS

w. B. Presby, who for the past
four years has represented the
sixteenth senatorial district in the
Washington legislature, will not
be a candidate to succeed himself.
The Seattle Republican would not
be surprised if Presby was not a
candidate to succeed PoindeXter
in the house of representatives in
Congress.
Robert Laird Mccormick, who
is seeking the Republican nomina-
ton for United States senator, is
said to have mailed a circular let
ter to 100000 voters of the state,
the postage on which amounted to
$2,400, and these are to be fol
lowed by similar letters.
The Seattle Republican has been
incorporated under the laws OF the
state Of Washington and its stock
holders are numbered among the
leading business men of the city.
It is the intention Of the Clayton
Publishing Company to give the
readers of the Seattle Republican
an up-to-date weekly publication.

Charley G. Dalton, enc of King
county's most prominent citizens,
has recently returned from a tour
of the southwest of the state OF
Washington, where business rela-
lions called him to every county
seat in that section, and touching
on the senatorial situation, he
said ~ heard no one, only IN
rare instances spoken OF for Unit
ed States Senator except John Il.
Wilson, which made me conclude
that Senator Wilson will sweep
that section by a tremendous ma
jority.''
Perry Niles Of Everett spent a
few hours in the city one day this

Island County Times (R.):

While many took but little stock
in much of the hue and cry raised
against Speaker Cannon of the
house of representatives nearly all
must admit that the outcome Of
the fight against the doughty
speaker is not only better for the
country but also for the Republi-
can party. Needed legislation will
now receive the attention it de-
serves and the party work more in
unison.

AN OWL STORY.

Showing the ryrannovs Effect Of Habit
Upon a Wild Animal.
An English publication tells this In
teresting story Of AL owl:
A vague figure appeared out Of the
clouds, travelling against the wind to-
ward tue spire and looking more like
a ragged piece of newspaper whirled
about the heavens than any living
thing. 1t was white owl. and after
watching him for some time l came
to the conclusion that he was trying
to get to the vane of the spire. A very
idle ambition it seemed. for. although
he succeeded again and again In get
ting to within few yards of the
point aimed at. he was on each occa-
sion struck by a fresh violent gust and
driven back to great distance, often
quite out Of sight in the gloom. But
presently he would reappear. still
struggling to reach the vane. A crazy
bird!
But l could not help admiring bis
pluck and greatly wondered what his
secret motive IN aiming ut that windy
perch could be. And ut last. after SO
many defeats. he succeeded and
grasped the metal crossbar with his
crooked talons. The wind with all Its
fury could not tear him from it. and
after a little tapping he was able to
pull himself up. and then, bending
down, he deliberately wiped his beak
on the bar and Jew away.
This, then. had been bis powerful,
mysterious motive-just to wipe his
beak. which be could very we'll have
wiped on any branch or barn roof or
fence and saved himself that tremen-
dous labor. This was an extreme H.
stance of that tyrannous effect Of
habit on wild animal. Doubtless this
bird had been accustomed after de-
vouring bis first mouse to dy to the
vane. where he could rest for = few
minutes. taking general view Of the
place. and wipe his beak at the same
time, and the habit had become 50
strong that he could not forego his
visit even on so tempestuous an even

The Zulu Diamond Minoc.

As showing the loyalty of. the Zulu
diamond miners Sir william Crookes
described an amusing incident which
came to his knowledge when at Kip
dam. The Zulu had been superfntend-
Ing gang ct natives on 4 small claim
at the river washings. It yielded but
few stones, and the owner sold the
claim, handing over the plant and the
small stan, the Zulu remaining to look
after the business till the new owner
took possession. In the course of a
few months the purchaser became dis
satisfied with his bargain, not a single
diamond having turned up since the
transfer. One night the Zulu came to
his Old master in a mysterious manner
and, laying handful Of diamonds on
the table, said: There, boss, are your
diamonds. l was not going to let the
new man have any Of them!''

THE FOREST PEOPLE.

A Curious Scotch Settlement In ths

Attention has been called In France
to a little British settlement which
still exists in the very heart Of the
country not far from Bourges, In the
province of Berry. Its inhabitants
have received the name Foretains, OF
forest people. Their history is curl
Gus one.
In recognition Of the services which
John Stuart. constable of Scotland,
rendered to the French nation one Of
its kings. Charles VII, 500 years ago
granted him park in the forest OF
Hautebrune and subsequently gave the
Scotchmen whom be settled there the
right also of feeding pigs and cutting
wood In the adjacent royal forest Of
AlIogny. They also were exempted
from the payment of general taxes.
salt tax or the dues levied by the
neighboring town of Bourges. and
finally royal magistrate was appoint

This magistrate used to sit booted
and spurred. with his sword by his
side, and for many years his decisions
were given without appeal not only in
all civil but in criminal cases as we'll
which affected the proprietors or hum
bier Inhabitants of the forest.
The Scotchmen cleared the forest Of
its old trees and planted instead or
ehards and then invited others Of their
countrymen to come and join them.
Since then they have preserved some
thing of their Scotch origin as we'll AZ
their lofty. stalwart. active and vigcr
Gus form. They cultivate both boards
and whiskers and both in accent and
of speech show their de-
scent.
In dress they only differ from the

long leggings with spurs attached.

Among the things that furnish occu
patton for the eyes and minds of trans
atlantic voyagers are the housefies
that accompany the great steamships
from one side of the ocean to the
other. In fine sunshiny weather the
flies buzz cheerfully about sheltered
places on the decks. and when the
wind blows high they take refuge III
cabins and saloons. Flies often re-
main with the ship while in port and
return with her on her next trip, thus
crossing the ocean several times in
succession and perhaps spending the
entire season at sea.-New York Trib-

The city Of Annoy is on an island Of
the same name. For upward Of 1000
years it has been an important trading
place. The population of the island
is estimated Mt over 100000. and it has
been said that there are something like
100000 dead bodies packed in its soil.
For many centuries the hillsides Of the
city have been used as burying
ground. Now the city and the GENE
terry are hopelessly mixed. The graves
touch one another at every point and
form a solid white surface Of rock.
brick, porcelain and cement, covering
more than 100000 square feet. Near
one of the Joss houses 10000 bodies are
buried vertically to save space. They
stand on plot Of ground of as many
feet square.
The wells from which the city draws
its water supply are shallow and are
sunk on the edge of graveyards and
even among the tombs themselves.
The water is muddy and is colored by
the perpetual turning up Of the soil.
It has no sewers, and the streets vary
from two feet to six feet in width. No
wheeled vehicles can use them. Here

dug out SO as to be huge receptacle
into which the streets discharge their
