 FLOATING. COURT Treasury Department Will Send the Cutter McCoIioch to Make Trip

According to advices received b! the marshals office this morning the Treasury department have desiSnat- led the revenue cutter McCulloch to take the floating court from Valdez to Dillingham; this coming summer. The revenue cutter will reach Val deg late in June and the court will leave Valdez about July l. Judge F M. Brown will be the presiding judge and will be accompanied by his pri- vate secretary, l. Hamburger. Mar shal Brenneman will make the trip as executive officer of the court and will take office deputy Clarence Mossman from the local office to as sist him. Arthur Lang. the clerk of the court, will make the trip.
 An assistant district attorney will be assigned to the floating court. but just who it will be is not known at this time, as it is probable that the president will have appointed a new district attorney to this division by the time the court starts west
 The headquarters of the McColloch are at San Francisco. The boat is trife larger than the Thetis. which made the trip last year. but is a much older boat

RIGHT ID VOTE ON ANNEXATION
City Attorney Ganty Gives Opinion On Qualifications At Request of
 the Council.

Pursuant to a previous request from the city council City Attorney Ganty last night gave the following opinion as to the right to vote at the an nexation election next Saturday: In Section 2, of Chapter 76, of the Session Laws, we find the following words: "A petition shall be pre- sented to the district court signed by not less than one-fifth of the quali- fled electors of such incorporated town, and by not less than five per sons, who shall be residents or the owners of substantial property inter ests in land or. improvements upon land or tide land within the limits of the territory proposed to be annexed" etc.
 Sec. 4, of the same chapter, recites as follows: The qualifications of an elector for said election shall be as follows: He or she shall be a male or female person of the age of 21 years or more and shall be the own- CT of substantial property interest in land, building or improvements on land or tide land within said corpora tion or the territory proposed to be annexed to or incorporated within such corporation"
 You will note that the question of residence is only mentioned in Sec 2, first quoted, and that is done in the words, "who shall be residents or the owners of property interests" etc. Hence I draw the conclusion that res idence is not the necessary qualifica- tion even for the signers of the peti-, tion for annexation, and as Sec. 4, next above quoted, does not say one word about residence, draw the con clusion that the possession of sub stantial property interests on either side is the sole qualification requi- site in an elector of legal age
 Taking the above conclusions to be correct it naturally follows that any person qualified has the right to vote and I believe that right exists in per sons who may reside within the linn, it's of the incorporated town and at the same time be qualified to vote on the reservation, and that such per sons may vote either on the reserva- ton or in the town. There being no precedent upholdins plural vot- ing in this country. l am of the opin ion that any person having once voted has exhausted his right.
 The question might well arise as to whether g man and wife. one of whom owns real property within the reser vation or town, are entitled each to a vote. In many states there are laws requiring the recording by property holders of declaration designating such property as they call their home stead, which property is joint prop erty of man and wife and exempt within certain limits from execution. In Alaska there is no law requiring such designation and the head of a

Sunshine of the kind that only

sand at Ideal-by- theS Sea, making
it seem as If a million red and gold

yielding depths, glimmered on the

She Burned Her Hair
Dear Miss Doom

Dear Miss Doom
Will you kindly let me know as
soon as possible what to do with my
hair? The other day | went to do
my hair up in a hurry, used the
curling iron and ruined part of my
hair completely | cannot put my
hair up at all now, as one side is
burned to the roots. | certainly
am in distress. HEARTBROKEN
You poor little singed thing!
Begin this very night to brush your
hair thoroughly, taking long, even
strokes. Use at least one hundred
strokes every night, and follow
them with a good masssg e, which is
done as follows;
Hold the fingers firmly on differ
ent portions of the scalp and bend
the knuckles so that the scalp
moves, but the fingers remain sta
tionary. This is continued all over
the head. the operation taking about
fifteen minutes. Here is n good
tonic:
One pint bay rum, one half pint
clear alcohol, one half-ounce castor
oil, one-quarter ounce carbonate
ammonia, one-half ounce tincture
of cantharides. Mix thoroughly and
massage into the scalp at night.
This treatment must be bolstered
up with unlimited patience. Next
time. If YOU must curl your hair,
use safe and sane curriers'.

Hatpins of Sealing Wax
IN dear NIareerr -nnan.

My dear Margery Doom:
Some time ago there was an arti-
Gle on your page about making hat
pins out of sealing wax. | meant
to cut it out and forgot. Would 1t
be too much trouble for you to pub
lish 1t in the column? Several girls
are making things for a fair and
we thought we'd make some of the
hatpins. We will be very grateful.
EIGHT OF US.
Is this the article you mean?
Perfumed sealing wax is used TO
cover any ordinary little ornament
penny hatpin, for instance. Ths
wax is heated in the flame Of
small alcohol lamp, then smeared
around the top of the pin and
dipped quickly in cool water, which
makes it sufficiently cool to handle
Roll it between the palms of the
hands until it is round When it
has hardened add little daubs of
sealing wax of different colors and
dots of gold by the same process
Thrust the top back into the flame
again and turn 1t rapidly to pre-
vent the sealing WAX from melting
and dropping into the flame. The
finished effect is that of the Yene-
tian bead, says an exchange.
Beads also may be made by the
same method and pierced with
red-hot hatpin. II is not necessary
to build the beads ON any other sub
stance.
Atmospheric heat does not melt
this sealing wax jewelry The shell
lac In the wax maintains in the
ornament the glossy appearances of
the wax.
Favors, especially in college
colors, may be made in this way
Sealing WAN comes in sixty eight
eolors, SO an infinite variety of ef-=
fects may be produced Children
are amused endlessly by fashioning
things of the wax
