THE GULF STREAM.
No Material Change In Its Course In
Modern Times.

No Material Change In Its Course In
Modern Times.
Much has been said in recent years
in regard to the changing route of the
gulf stream. Indeed, the character Of
this steady, consistent and answering
body was getting so maHgned that the
government looked into the matter,
with the result that this mysterious
current of the ocean was entirely vim
dicated. Experts declare that there is
no change in the course nor has there
been for many years.
No other physical feature of the
ocean is subject to more persistent
misinterpretation than is the gulf
stream. All vagaries of climate are
laid to its charge It is a pet theory
of many that the temperature of Eu-
rope is greatly affected by it. but this
idea is held by high authorities to be
erroneous. 1t is not as extensive as is
commonly thought Practically start
ing at the Florida strait. where its
volume is made up by the union Of
currents, it ceases to be a true cur
rent by the time it reaches the south
ern limit of the Grand banks, where it
becomes surface drift, governed by the
winds.
The government experts aver that
there has been absolutely no material
change in the gulf streams course in
modern timeS-New York Press.

SEX AND LONGEVITY.
Woman Has the Better of Man In the
Term of Life.

1t is a well known fact, proved over
and over again in vital statistics, that
the term of life of women is slightly
longer than that Of men. Just why
this is so has never been explained sat
isfactorily. One fact, however, is clear,
and that is that during early years fe-
males possess a greater tenacity of life
than do males
The difference Of the mortality rates
during the first few years Of life is
striking. During the first year the
mortality among males is decidedly
greater than among females.
Although more boys are born than
girls, the proportions are reduced to al
most even terms at the end of the first
year by the excessive male mortality
Even during the first four years the
mortality among males exceeds that
among females. Notwithstanding the
fact that there are practically no dis
tinctiOns made in the management Of
the two sexes. Both are subject to the
same conditions. are dressed virtually
the same and receive the same food.
At the age Of about five years the
comparative death rate among girls be
gins to increase. This has been at
tributed to the fact that boys Of this
age are more in the open air. The
mortality IN both sexes diminishes
from this time until the twelfth year,
when it attains its lowest point. It
then steadily rises, being larger in each
successive year. Between the twelfth
and sixteenth years the death rate
among girls increases more rapidly
than among boys, but after the six
teeuth year for several years the rate
. of increase is more rapid ON the male
side.-St. Louis POst-Dispatch

4 Story of the Duke of Somerset and

We have all heard Of the proud"
Duke Of Somerset. but we do not all
know Of the occasion on which his
pride had "a fall The story is told in
"The Gleubervie Journals"
It seems that the duchess had sent
for Seymour, a celebrated painter Of
horses, to make the portrait Of a race
horse at PetwOrth. Seymour during
his stay used to dine in the stewards
room, but one day the duke was SO
pleased with the picture as it ad-
vanced that he desired that ne would
dine at his table
At dinner Seymour. who probably
had not been expected to mix in the
conversation. took occasion to say that
he believed he had the honor to be re-
lated 10 his grace. This gave such of
Tense that he was either sent away or
put 50 much out Of humOr as to go
away from PetwOrth without finish
ing the picture.
AfterwaTd the dukes pride gave way
to the desire he had of possessing a
good portrait of his favorite horse,
and he ordered his steward to write to
Seymour and engage him to return to
finish his work at Petworth.
Seymour directed his reply to the
duke himself in these words: Your
pride would not allow that l am Of
your family. To convince you that l

Young EAGLES.

An eagle lives from 50 60 100
years. The young birds are driven
forth by their savage parents to pro-
vide for themselves as soon as they are
able to fly. No training is given them
by the old bird. That is left to their
wild instincts, which hunger and ne
cessity develop. There is no 'gOing
back to the old home" for the young
eagles. The mother bird tears up ev-
cry vestige of the nest, and if they
emit plaintive shrieks the old birds
dart at them and push them off the
crags or rocks and thereby make them
take to their wings. It takes three
years for a young eagle to gain its
complete plum3ge and strength.

Your Help is Needed

At no time in the history OF the
state has public interest been so uni
versally centered in philanthropic
movement as in the present Red Cross
Seal Campaign. A vim and purpose
is behind each purchase, spontaniety
and sympathy that speak volumes for
the future of the tuberculosis crusade.
Every buyer now appreciates the sig
nifcance of the Red Cross Seal sale
through the results achieved by the
Washington Association for the Proven
ton and Relief of tuberculosis and the
local leagues with the comparatively
small fund raised during previous years
and each has determined to realize the
full possibilities OF this opportunity to
secure a really adequate sum for the
campaign already mapped out by the
association for the coming year.
Managers everywhere are enthusi-
astic and many have already disposed
of their first consignment and reor-
dered; each league is bending its eff
forts to provide for some local under
taking through the seal sale and yet
assist in the general program of the
association. All this will be possible
only by the support and cooperation
of every locality. None is so large
that it can afford to ignore the tubercu-
losis problem, none so small that its
assistance will not be appreciated.

An eligible register for the position
Of rural letter carrier for each county

office in such county. A rural letter
carrier after one years satisfactory ser

such examination as may be required

A County Local Option Bill

One of the first measures to be in
troduced at the coming session OF the
Legislature will be the county unit local
option measure. This is assured by
the state anti-saloon league, which is
laying its plans to send strong lobby
to Olympia and fight the measure
either to passage or defeat.
The bill passed the senate two years
ago but was lost in the house. This
coming session the anti-saloon league
intends to hold over the heads of the
Legislators the threat that unless they
pass a state wide local unit measure,
an attempt will be made to vote state
wide prohibition under the terms oil
the initiative amendment to the state
constitution adopted at the recent
general election.
1t is probable that the same line up
will be experienced this session as at
the last, the senate being dry" and
the house wet. "-Ex.
