OLYMPIA, WASHNGTON FRIDAY MORNING. NAYS 1911.
A Period of Dire Disaster.

One of the most severe storms of
any season prevailed in Kansas and
Oklahoma in early April. A cy-
clone. accompanied by hail, rain and
lightning, wiped out Whiting in the
former State, and Big Heart, Okla
homa, where eight people persisted
and many were injured.
At Fort Leavenworth much dam
age was reported, Government build
ings destroyed and city buildings
wrecked. The storm reached Mis-
souri,, where the course of the storm
passed over an area ten miles wide,
leveling every thing in lis path The
St. Joseph and Grand Island depot
a string of bOX-cars and many build,
ings were wrecked or blown away.
At Joplin, Mo, seven persons were
severely injured, and the properly
loss was heavy and the wire and rail
service entirely demOralized and cut
off in many districts.
In Kansas woman was blown
half mile and killed. At Hiawatha
a schOol-house was demolished by
wind and one of the pupils killed.
A number of buildings were struck
by lightning, and persons known to
be killed at Netawaka and Manville,
Kansas. Sixty houses were blown
down at Whiting. At Eskridge the
high-school building was Frustrated
and twenty students injured. A
woman and child were killed at
POwhattan.
Homes were blown away and oc-
cupants whirled in the air at small
town in the Usage nation.
A blizzard reported in Northwest
Minnesota, and North Dakota, on
the 18th of April. resulting in STALL
ing of trains OF the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern railways.
Wind and sleet tore down the tele-
graph wires for fifteen miles between
Mandan and Jamestown.
Another source of great loss is in
the uprooting OF orchards and dam
age to the corn crop. A relief train
carrying five physicians and many
nurses was dispatched from Avana,
Ok, to Big Heart to care for the
suffering.
AS of special interest in connection
with this widespread area of disas-
ter, it may be noted that almost
simultaneously, the public heart was
throbbing with sympathy for the
wholesale destruction of life in a
shirt-waist factory in one of the
Eastern cities, and the death of 800
Geisha girls and injuring of 800
more in a terrible fire in the Yoshi-
ware district, at Toxic, Japan, on
the morning of the 9th ult., when
the history of the $50 New York
victims was repeated of jumping
from high windows in their frantic
excitement to almost certain death.
Credulous people must be i'm
pressed with the belief that our
Earth must have been passing
through period when there were
dark spots on the Sun to account for
this accumulation of disaster during
the ides of spring.

underground channel for some pre.his.
toric river. Whatever the explanation
of its existence may be, it is beyond
question one of the most wonderful
specimens of this kind of phenomena in
the entire country, and it is certain,
eventually, to be a spot much sought
after by tourists.

THE difference between dough-
nuts and crullers is that doughnuts
are raised with yeast and crullers
with baking powder or soda and sour
milk" writes a correspondent, re-
ferring to recent note. We used
to have a similar impression, says
the Rural Neu Yorker, but reference
to various cook books shows raised
doughnuts," which are raised with
yeast, and "doughnuts" without that
distinguishing adjective which are
made with baking powder or sour milk
and soda. Even Mrs. Lincoln s Boston
Cook Book" which surely should be
an authority. gives doughnuts with
yeast, and doughnuts with baking
powder or soda. So the mystery is
still unsolved. through we believe
that oleykoeks, the New Netherlands
variant of the New England dough-
nuts, were always raised with yeast.

Stripes to Meet.

Remember, that when you are
making dress of striped fabric the
center back of the bodice must be cut
on the bias, SO that the stripes viii
meet in the center, says the Wash
ingtOn Herald.
They must meet exactly or the ef-
feet will be spoiled. The method of
one practical dressmaker is to cut
the two sides together, doubling the
material so that the stripes come
directly over each other, and then
pinning it in place, so that the goods
shall not move even a fraction of an
inch while being cut.
The material of the back, where it
meets the side seam, should. with
any fabric, be cut almost on the
straight.
Remember, too, that the skirt
should be about an inch larger at the
waist than the band you are going to
put it into.
Unless very slightly creased in
around the side it will look strained
at this place when it is worn.

Four O'Clock Club.

The Four O'Clock Club was organ
lied In the fall of 1898 by Miss Mary
Lyon, a that time one of the Oldest
and most highly esteemed of our local
high school faculty.
She was later made an honorary
. member. and II was always by her
untiring efforts that new enthusiasm
would be enthused into each and
every member when only tagging
interest would appear to dominate
She seemed never too weary with
her other trying school duties to
meet regularly with the girls, and
by her presence and advice lend en-
couragement and develop incentive
in the club.
How well her efforts OF moulding
crowd Of laughing high school girls
into a club OF perfect congeniali,y.
and with one aim towards the stand.
ards Of good principles and high
mindedness, only an intimate knowl.

the club can reveal.
Miss Lyon was called TO her eternal
home on December %. 1904, and how
sadly was she missed among her
large circle OF friends, But her
memory will ever be kept green In
the minds OF all members OF the
Four O'Clock Club by the living tes-
timony OF her labors amongst them.
Besides Miss Lyon there were III,
