A PERILoUs TRIP

H. c. Slate and Peter Peter son, who left San Francisco for the Arctic last May on the an- Cient scow Alice Stofen, have arrived safely at Point Barrow. They left the California port May 16, both, their frineds be- lieved, headed direct for Davy Jones locker. They not only fooled Davy Jones, but had a delightful trip.
 The Alice Stofen is a schoon- CT rigged scow of seventeen tons that was built forty-s six years ago for service on San Francisco Bay. Originally the vessel was stout and service able and well fitted for work in the sheltered waters of the harbor and river. Never at any stage of her career would any body but two hardened trappers have considered the Stofen as fit for a trip as far outside the heads as the F'arallons.
 Slate, who had spent twenty years of his life trading and trapping in the Arctic, wanted to get back there, and the Stof- ell was about the only kind of craft that his means would per nit him to buy. He bought the old Scow for a song. He pro- visiOned her for a trip and load ed her with trading goods, and May 10, with Peter Peterson for a crew sailed for the Arct- ic

LINDSEY BREAKS DOWN

Cordova, Sept 1.-The steam ship A. G. Lindsay of Seattle arrived here today for repairs, having broken her crankshaft pin before reaching Uyak on Kodiak Island while bound from Nome to Seattle. The cannery tender Shelikoff ac- companied her as far as Mon tague Island in case of emer- gecy, the steamship being driven by one cylinder.
 She is expected to leave for Seattle Monday. She has a number of cannery employees id 1S,000 cases of salmon a. board.

PLAN AIRSHIP
TRIALS At SEA

BERLIN, Germany, June 1.-As a
result Of Count Zeppelin's feat in sail
ing his newest airship from Fried
rict5hafen to Hamburg today without
an intermediate landing, German
military authorities will carry out
long considered project of undertake
ing a series of experiments in airship
evolutions at sea. Count Zeppelins
trip is regarded as a brilliant tri-
umph and has evoked an outburst of
enthusiasm throughout the empire.
The fact that he made nearly 500
kilometers (about $50 miles, in less
than eleven hours has profoundly i'm
pressed the military aeronauts, who
predict that confidence in the dirigi-
bles as a successful competitor of
the aeroplane will now be fully re-
stored. Under the direction of the
war department the Zeppelin craft ac-
companied by cruisers and torpedo
boats, will set out from Hamburg for
Bremen and Kiel and will cruise over
that part of the North sea which is
of the greatest strategic Importance.
No other experiments on a similar
scale have heretofore been attempt
ed and it is expected that they will
throw an interesting light on the pos
sibilities of airships in future naval
warfare.

The May meetings have demonstrate

PICTURES IN SKY
WILL AID WEATHER BUREAU

LONDON England, June Prof
Willis L. Moore, chief of the United
States weather bureau, delivered the
first of a series of lectures before the
royal institution in London today. He
predicted that the time would come
when the weather bureaus would have
the added responsibility of mapping
daily air routes for passenger carry
ing aeroplanes, and intimated a belief
that the dream of the meteorologist
of foreca.ting the character of com
ing seasons might be realized.
He said in part;

are justified in believing that atmo-

cal observation and calculation. We
shall in the near future have a more
intimate knowledge of the complex
operations of nature in these high al,
titudes than we have today.
Sees Aid to Aviation.
Aviation is largely indebted to me-
teorology for it's existence. The aero
plane is but the kite of the meteoro-
logist, with power and rudder at
tached, and the art of aerial naviga-
ton and that of weather forecasting
will be more closely allied in the fu-
ture than they nave beer in the past.
In fact, the making of such naviga-
ton commercially possible may de-
pend more upon the meteorologist
than upon the constructing engineer.
81 forecast the future when | say
that the time may come when many
of the 200 stations of the United
States weather bureau and those of
other weather services will be equip
ped with aviators and flying machines.
The kite on windy days and the aero
plane on quiet days will carry instTu-
ments aloft and bring back the pres
sure, temperature and direction and
force of the wind which, when tele-
graphed to the central office, will en-
able the forecaster to construct a
weather map on, say, the two-mile

must be the most intense, and, what is
of the greatest importance to the pi-
lots of air craft, to determine the re-
gions of unstable equilibrium.

The hat was lifted and it seemed as
if it would float away in the air. it
was so light. However, it was explain

contrary.

of our hats weigh over pound, And
anyway they are much lighter now
than in former years. They once
wore jet and heavy ornaments. Hats
were heavier then. Now if a customer
picks up hat and finds it heavy she
throws it down right away"
She picked up a wide fiat creation
surrounded by imitation lilies Of the
valley. 1t seemed to weigh about as
much as a newspaper.
One Hat Proved Too Heavy.
The customer returned that hat
only yesterday" said the shopkeeper.
She said it was so heavy it made her
head ache. I suppose in that way it
interfered with her thinking"
The proprietor of a wholesale hat
Store sought information from his
factory. A moderately proportioned
winter hat of the velvet type was
weighed and registered twenty-three
ounces, nineteen more than Mrs.
Blaine's maximum figure.

SNAIL RACES DELAYED MAILS

PARIS, France, June Am Incl
dent at the central postoffice is caus-
ing Paris to chuckle. A department
head, observing that the service was
continually behind-hGnG in a~certain
section, reprimanded the men, but
without effect. He then had the desks
of five employees examined and in
stead Of papers found the drawers
filled with several dozen snails.
The clerks, bored by the monotony
of the daily routine and unable TO
visit the race courses, where their
chief interests are centered, had or
ganized a series OF snail races among
themselves. Each snail was named,
trained and backed financially by its
owner.
Before official punishment could be
inflicted on the culprits the whole af-
fair was stihed suddenly, the higher
powers evidently having the dignity
of the service at heart The story,
however. leaked out.
