Verses Tell How
'ImperatOr' Ought
to be Pronounced
Great Trouble Found With Largest
Liner Is That Everyone Gives
Her a Different Name.

NEW YORK. June 2s.-There is
one fault already found with the I'm
perator. the giant vessel Of the Ham
burg American line, which has just
made her maiden voyage as the big
gest ship ahoat. The trouble is no
one knows how to pronounce her
name.
Many think they do. and as result,
she is called many things as Anderson
Hough, the author, who answers 10
Hun, How Hoe, Huge and a few
other things.
In reply to inquiries as TO the pro-
nunciation the publicity agent says
that the German pronunciation which
is sanctioned by the modern Latin-i
lets makes the "a" in Impcrator sound
Ike the "a" in father. The accent
is on the next syllable to the last.
The poet laureate Of the line has
been so much puzzled by the variety
Of pronunciations that he has cele-
brated them IN verse. Here are some
OF the couplets:
Biggest ship upon the water
Gorgeous, quetnly Imperator
n you do not ike that style OF call
ing the ship. perhaps the poet lau-
reate remarked, you may take this;
In the finest class we slate her,
Peerless, German Imperator.
And please" the poet said, do
not make peerless "beerless." Then.
after running his fingers through his
hair, the poet emitted and submitted
this;
misunderstanding senses totter!
Sea COLOSSUS. Imperator!
ITO the tune Of Dixie" said the
poet, we might get still another line
on the pronunciation by singing:
Buckwheat cakes and little batter
Taste quite good on the Imperator.

SEATTLE, June Steamship
men report the approach Of the an
nual Sockeye salmon run, which this
year is the quadrennial big run, the
greatest FISH migration in the world.
The fish now entering the Sound were
born four years ago.
When the first white men came to
the Northwest the Indians told them
OF this periodical big run, which had
been regular as far back as their
tribal legends went. II Is the Ca
madam theory that the fish making
up the big run are Matched In Fraser

west coast OF Vancouver Island.
-Four years ego SO many traps were
set for the mature fish that few were
able to enter the Fraser, and the
Cane dams have Insisted that tho big

there is international interest in the
size Of the approaching swarms OF
