PRINCE kATSURA'S BRAIN
 HEAVIER THAN NAPoLEoNs

TOKIO.-The brain of the late Prince Katsura, one of Japan's great est statesmen, who died recently, weighed slightly more than 1,6O0 grams. Prince Katsura was president of the Japanese society devoted to the study of cancer, from which dis ease he died, and, in accordance with his own directions, the body was of fered to science and dissected.
 This brain weight is said to be nearly the same as that of Kant, the philosopher, heavier than that of Ma poleon III and Gambetta. It was a little lighter than that of Bismarck and about 30 grams heavier than the brain of an average person.
 The post-mortem examination was conducted under historic Japanese ceremony When all preparations had been completed, Dr. Nagayo. a celebrated surgeon, surrounded by a number of physicians, addressed the spirit of the deceased prince, saying that in accordance with the dead mans own wishes he was about to dissect, certain parts of the body for the benefit of science. y
 Princess Katsura then approached the body, uttered brief prayer to her husbands spirit and murmured that in accordance with his wishes she had requested the dissection in the interest of science.
 The examination proved that the prince was suffering from cancer which originated in the stomach and spread to the liver. The fact that Prince Katsura had desired dissec- tion was made public by the prin- cess, who insisted that the examina- tion should be made. Her fortitude has created g profound impression throughout the empire.
 President Wilson took occasion to manifest the sympathy of America to the family of Prince Katsura and to the people. of Japan by sending a beautiful wreath through George w.. Guthrie, the American ambassador. The wreath was conspicuously placed beside that offered by the elnbress ;dowager of Japan. ,> ~.s

Last Boat Out With Christmas Maii-Has Thirteen
 Days Mail Aboard.

The steamer Northwestern, which left Seattle on last Sunday night with large consignment of Christmas mail for Val 'ez, besides the regular thirteen days accumulation of mail, which will be very heavy.
 Postmaster Jefferson is anxious that the people of Valdez mail their Christ mas gifts to outside points prior to the arrival of the boat, because a great part of the time after the arriv- al of the Northwestern the staff of the local postoffice will be very busy sorting the incoming mail, and as the boat will remain to the westward not over thirty-siA hours, possibly less, it behooves all to do the'r mail ing early or else come of the Christ mas gifts will likely miss the outgoing steamer
 The congestion of mail in outside postoffices because of the parcels post has caused slow delivery to all parts of the states.
 The steamer Alameda, which leaves Seattle December 10th will be the last boat to arrive here with Christ mas mail, as the Northwestern is scheduled to sail north from the Spir ity City on Dec. 20th and cannot ar rive before Christmas The steamer Jeanie is billed to leave Seattle Dec 10th, in which event the mail will be shipped on the Alameda should the Jeanie be delayed. Mail reaching Se- attle between the departure of the Alameda and the departure of the Jeanie will be sent on the Alaska Coast boat.

D0N0H0E DENIES
 STREET RUM0RS
Talk That He Wants, Walkers Job is Bosh, He Tells Representa-
 tive of Prospector.

A rumor has been circulated the past few days that T. J. Donohoe, of Valdez, had visions of becoming the next district attorney of the Third judicial division of Alaska and that an appointment would be made in the near future, as Attorney General Mo- Reynolds would soon reach this divis- ion with his axe sharpened for Repub- lican officeholders, and that the axe would be felt by District Attorney Walker shortly.
 Mir. Donohoe, however, denies that he wants the position or that he knew of any effort to oUst the present ln- cumbent He says that the party has but one office ill the territory that he covets and that they have failed as yet to establish that office, but when they did he would surely be a candidate for it and the people would know that he was after the job.
 District Attorney Walker when in terviewed by representative of the Prospector, said he knew nothing re- garding any contemplated change, but he could deny that he was Repub lican holdover serving under Dem- ocratic administration.
 Many of the friends of c. E. Bun nell, the local attorney and district committeeman of the Democratic party, are anxious that he should sue ceed Judge Walker should the axe fall, or if the axe falleth not, then when Mir Walkers term shall have ended, but he has, however, refused to indi- cate to the Prospector reporter that he desired the position or that he would accept it if it were rendered him.
