''I have the honor to again call your
attention to the unnecessary delay in
the transference of American mails in
States by other than Japanese mail
steamers. From the appended table
you will note that DELAYS never occur
with mails arriving from San Fran
Japanese lines. Tt invariably happens
In cases where Japanese steamers are
concerned that the mails are received
in Shanghai in advance of the steamers
which carried them across the Pacific.

at Shanghai. the mails are trans
shipped and seldom occupy more than
four days in ransit from Yokohama to
Shanghai Mails DISPATCHED from the
United States by the Pacific Mail
steamers are never transshipped unless
the stea omit the call at Shanghai,
ana, IN cases where they are trans
shipped. they are unnecessarily delayed
in japan and not infreauently occupy
nine DAYS in transit from Yokohama to
Shanghai
This is subject of great COM
plant. and anything that can be done
TO prevent the annoyance will be ap-
preciated by the patrons of the Office"

THE KANGAROO

Precisely how far big kangaroo
can jump is a matter of some. dis
pute. A writer in Cassell's Natur-
al History says that they can leap
cover ten, fifteen or more feet"
Fl. R. Francis tells US, says writer
in the London Times, that he has
known an old man to cover
nineteen feet at each bound for
full half mile" and he believes
that he does leap IAN average of
full TWENTY feet" ......
Mr.. Lydekker is of opinion that
the great kangaroo leaps mot far
short Of thirty feet" and Thomas
Ward gives US at least thirty
feet" Probably Rudyard Kiplitg's
twenty five feet to bound" is
near enough as general rule.
But with this more than Olympic
leapinR powers they seem common
ly either unable or unwilling to rise
any height from the ground. Their
speciality is broad jumping only.
Mr.. Ward says that they cannot
clear an obstacle greater than four
feet" and a five foot fence is COM
monty high enough for any kanga-
roo paddock.

TRAINS CHANGE time


Immediately after the first of the
year there will be a new time table
issued by the Southern Pacific. The
times Of three trains are all that
are affected and all of these trains
are eastbound.
Under the new schedule No. /
will arrive in Sparks at IL $50 p m
No. 3 at 1915 a. m. and No. 9 at
4:45 a. m.
There is also a rumor current
that the make up of the trains will
be changed. Heavy rails that the
company have been compelled to
handle have Caused considerable de-
lay of t. mail trains. Especially
this is true Of No. 8. 1t is thought
that under the new schedule No. 9.
will become a paper train, No. J.
a letter train, and No. 8 the par
eel post train. Just. exactly what
the change will be we are unable
to state. Sparks Tribune.
