When your doctor looks to see if

COOLEST INHABITED TOWN

Verkhoyansk, good-sized city in
norther Siberia, boasts the distinction
of being the coolest inhabited city on
the globe. 1t is in north latitude 81
degrees on the arctic plane, and
scarcely more than $50 feet above the
sea level.
Its annual temperature is above

So below zero. The Russian govern
ment owns the town, and is interested
in having an administrative center
where clever and industrious Yokuts,
fur-trading Jews of Siberia, carry on
their operations. All the inhabitants
.of Verkhoyansk, with the exception of
a few officials and Russian traders, are
Yokuts.
The Yokuts are such ambitious and
aggr essiye people that they do not
seem to mind the fact that the rivers
freeze to the bottom and that small
trees have been known to snap and
split from the biting force of the cold.
Still many Russians even seem 20
prefer it to warmer posts. Its atmos-
phere is always clear and the air still,
and there are no billiards or snow
storms. Then the Siberian dress adds
considerably to the enjoyment of the
arctic city. 1t consits of two suits Of
fur an outer and an inner, and Il
hug hood to pullover the face so that
there is just enough space to see and
breathe through.
The summer is hotter than might be
reasonably expected, the average tenn
perature being SO above zero in July.
The earth is green and vegetation
thrives, but the surface of the ground
is scarcely thawed.

while ago,
Heard its giant voice aquiyer, hoarse
and deep and very slow,
Through the window of my Office came
the rumble loud and clear,
And 1t moved me as song would,
some old song used to hear; z
And looked up from my writing to
the smoky city skies,
And misty, hazy vision seemed to
form before my eyes
OF a freighter, heavy loaded, nosing
past the harbor stakes,
Like the old Eulalie used to when
decked it ON the Lakes
Every time steamer whistles with
that mighty fumbling roar,
1t brings back the recollection of the
days That are no more,
When my kit was in my pocket. and

And the wages of a voyage slowly came
and swiftly went,

hickory and steel,
And knew the way to labor and 10

as wheat and BARLEY fakes

AN ANTIDOTE TO A POISON

Agitation for the judicial recall,
v hich has already forced constitution
al amendments by number of states,
may be responsible for a movement il
other states to make judicial candid
acies and elections nonpartisan. Kaus~
as has just adopted law under which
candidates for judge will hereafter run
on nonpartisan petitions, and nonpa.-
tisan ballots in the primaries, and Je
listed together on the official ballots
at the election polls, not as party can
didates but as nonpartisan candidates.
The Missouri assembly which has just
adjourned removed judgeships in the
city of ST Louis from among the Of
fees to be filled by nomination of man
as the candidates of parties. Hereto
after candidates for judicial prefer-
ment in that city will make their APP
peal to voters not as members of any
party, or as candidates of any party
but as individuals holding themselves
to be qualified for judicial service.
Some strange candidates. are likely
to grow out of these arrangements, bu.
on the whole the movement toward
honpartisan judicial nominations and
elections is more Intelligent than that

to see good growing out of it since the

as part of party politics, has long
run from the ward caucus up to the
sessions of legislatures called to re-

of legislative power in making such
apportionments.
