Extent Of Emigration.
During 1909, 1879 Scots left their
native shores, comprising vigorous
young men between the ages Of twenty
and thirty. For the first four months
OF the present year over 1000 booked
passage through shipping agents at
Aberdeen alone. The attendant results
are beginning to be severely felt by
the remaining population. It Is stated
that at Fetterangus one-tenth Of the
population averages nearly eighty
years of age. while at Keig not a.
single child attends school from rs of
the largest holdings. In some par
1shes only those who are too old or
too young to emigrate are left

and Fireme's union of Europe have
recently held a conferecc in this city
The delegates from all sections were

nuncemento demanding the establish
ment Of board of. Cancellation so
that their representatives may meet
the representatives of the owners
to adjust grievances. - ~ ~ /. -. !.
The owners have thus far flatly
refused. Their main object is to at
<tack the shipping federation, which
is described as huge octopus, whose
tentacles clench g. y:ce-like grip
every department. Of the shipping in
dustry and every detail of sailors
life. -
The shipping concern is an inter-
national organization controlling huge
argosies and Boosting Of 100000, 900
In money. The sailors are determined
to have the cancellation board; they
mean to get on an equal footing with
the miner, ironworker AMI cotton
operatives. -.
If these measures canot be obtained
peacefully the indications point to a
worldwide cessation of work until
their rights are recognized.
Railway Servants.
The annual report of the Amalga-
mated Society of Railway Servants
has just been issued ind it shows
that the total mem bership of the So
c1ety is 1888, an increase over last

Several suggestions will be made
andsspresentations have already been
made to the home secretary. The
first Of these is that there should
be a limitation as to the number Of
persons In charge Of one manager
for'tt is argued that it is out of all
reason for one manager to be in full
. control Of from four to eight collier
les. The effort Of the miners to abol-
tsh unskilled labor has not been sue
cessful, but it is hoped the new act
will have this effect.
Teachers Protest. - .,
Your country is not the only one
where certain interests seek to gain.
an unfair advantage by underhanded
methods and secret circulars. Only
a short time ago an animated con-
teachers was held at Abergstwith
over the issuance by. the board of
education of a secret circular.
The document suggested that "as
elementary teachers were uncultured
that only graduates of Oxford or
Cambridge should be selected as in
spectors.' The secretary of the board
has admitted his error Of Judgment
in permitting the circular to issue.
1t is believed the error of judgment
was the result of the publication of
the "secret circular ~

only daughter, Princess Victoria
Louise is "booked" to marry Albert
Edward. Prince Of Wales, despite the
fact that they are the children Of
first cousins, and that the princess
is some 18 months older. >7s#.~'
Princess Victoria is nearly 20 and
the prince 49,. No doubt some. of
your American multi millionaire
bachelor maidens would gladly ex-f
change her millions for the title, but
the harvest is not yet. -.
