TRIAL MARRIAGES UPHELD

In New York state woman under the age of l3 years, and who has separated from her husband before arriving at the age of IS year, may maintain an action to annul her marriage under the code of civil pro- cedure and this though her parents con sented to the marriage, according to the case of Mundell vs. Coster, 142 New York Sup pIement, l42 Ther the plaintiff brings action to annUl her marriage to the de fendant on the ground that at the time of the consummation thereof she was and still is under the age of legal consent. The license for the marriage was granted upon the legal consent of the mother. The evi- dence showed that at the time of her mar xiage she was exactly l7 years of age. She left her husband one month thereafter, and has not since cohabited with him. The supreme court, special term, holds that the present law permits an infant who marres under the age of Is years with the consent of her parents, and who subsequently, leaves her husband before she arrives at that age, to come into the court and as a matter of course obtain a decree of annulment Judg ment annulling the marriage is granted, the court remarkng in conclusion that the statute to all intents and purposes provides for trial marriages "but 1t IS a condition the remedy for which lies with the leglsls- ture and not with the court. ."-West'6 Bull letin

BELGIUM'S SPLENDID ROADS
 GERMANY'S TEMPTATION

It must be admitted that the very quail ties of weight and power which make the II finch mortar such a formidable piece nevertheless constitute most serious prob lem of transportation. In spite of the skill with which the design has been worked out, with its large diameter pedrall wheels, the weight of one of these mortars IS such that it demands the very best of conditions of roadway for its successful or, at least, for its speedy transport ation. To handle these pieces successfully whether in advance or retreat, calls for the highest class of mili- tary roads-roads which as far as possible shall be free from heavy grades, Therein no doubt, IS to be found one predlsposing cause which led the Germans to cling so tenaciously to their plan of campaign through Belgian territory. The magnificent highways through Belgium and northern France, stretching as they do through com paratively level country, are ideal for the transportation of batteries of these heavy siege guns rapidly to the Notifications of the French capital. At the outset of the war the world wondered how the Germans could expect, as they evidently did, to be within the city of Paris in few weeks time The answer is to be found in their belief in the invincibility of the huge armies which they were prepared to pour through Belgium and in the ability of this 1l-inch mortar to cut wide swath through the engirdling Notifications of Paris. The Ger mans in our belief never contemplated for
 moment complete investment of Paris such as they made in 1870 to 1871. These 1l-inch mortars have made such an in vestment unnecessary. Had the French British resistance to the enveloping tactics of the German right been less successful, it is probable that the German army would have been in Paris at the present time Scientific American.

Early Opening of Yukon Expected
MENACE OF MIDDLE AGE

In spite of the fact that the duration ot human life has been extended in recent years, noticeaDly in this country, it seems that man is less likely than ever to at tain ripe old age, or even to reach the age that is known as elderly" The length of human life has been increased, and yet we are less likely to reach the age of our grandfathers But there IS 8 reason for this paradox.
 Registration and life insurance statistics show that the death rate in this country is increasing at the later age periods, espe- cially from diseases of the heart. blood yes sells and kidneys, which chiefly affect per sons in middle life and later. The ''expec- tation of life" as the insurance people call 1t, has shown a great increase among young persons, and this has been due to the great advances made in the conquest of communl- cable diseases. But the pace of life is rapid and the marked increase in the death rate which come as a rule along in the middle years of life. So while the youth of 20 has a better prospect than ever of living to middle age, the man of middle age has a re- duced chance of reaching old age
 The condition seems to be peculiar to this country, for in England and Wales there has been no such increase in the death rate from the degenerative diseases or in the death rate at the later age periods. But there is no reason for despair as is suggested by the physician who calls at tenton to these facts, director in the Life Extension Institute. If we live in an orderly fashion, and as sensibly as we can, we may reasonably hope for some years, even after middle age, and as he says, If we take heed, future developments may give us reason for even greater confidence in our power to endure and to prevail. ."- Providence Journal

IRON CROSS A HEAVY BURDEN

"Whew" said the city hall hero, Alfred Fritz Metzger, K, l. C., as he wiped his per spring brow with damp handkerchief and gazed longingly at the heavy iron cross that dangled by red ribbon from his valorous breast.
 Gee! that cross is heavy" he continued, after getting his breath. Tt weighs about ton, It's got my coat all pulled askew and it has about pulled through the cloth, and am as tired as if had been carrying bod all day.
 Metzger, with the help of one of his as- sistants, unpinned the heavy cross and threw it with a chatter and bang upon his desk.
 "Just tell 'em for me-" he added, that if anybody else wants to give me an iron cross, please send along harness to wear with it."
 Metzger was given this iron cross by Com missioner Mills Monday afternoon in recog- milton of his heroic service in defending Mills from the attack of discharged employee Tacoma Ledger.

COUNCIL, } ],
 NE s g BITING ! ]!

At a meeting of the town council held on Wednesday evening last steps were taken looking to the proper celebration of Fourth of July in Idltarod the continuance of fire protection was provided for, and action looking to cooperation with the United States marshaPs office in the collection of city business licenses was taken.
 A discussion of the proposition of giving a Fourth of July celebration similar to that of last year was discussed and it was de cided to take the initiative by the appoint ment of committee of members of the council to confer with other citizens as to the advisability of calling mass meeting to make arrangements for the celebration. From the remarks of the councilmen it is a certainty that the celebration idea will be carried out with enthusiasm. It IS un- derstood that a mass meeting will be called within the near future due notice of which will be given. The committee consists of Mayor Stanton, William Ansley and Joseph H. Smith.
 The matter of the continuation of the position of chief of the fire department for another month came up for discussion, and it was ordered that the chief be continued on the city's pay rolls until further action of the council The duties of the chief were added to, however, by making him superin- tendent of streets So it will not be sur prising if Chief Byers is seen shortly at the business end of No. engaged in improv- ing the city's thoroughfares. He is said to De quite adept with this piece of machinery.
 The matter of cooperating with the United States marshaPs office in the collec- ton of territorial business license money was disposed of by referring the matter to the finance committee.
 Discussion of the dog-impounding ordi- nance, which went into effect the first of the month, resulted in no action being taken on the appointment of poundmaster, as it was understood that the chief of police would enforce the ordinance.

REIGN OF THE HAPSBURGS

During their reigns of 700 years the flaps burgs have reproduced no statesman, un- less 1t be Charles ", or any notable mill tary commander; they have lost vast tracts of territory, their armies have been defeated by those of every continental power of any note; they have had their capital besieged, captured and sacked by foreign foes and na- tive mobs; they have seen revolution in every part of their empire, and yet the house of Hapsburg still reigns. Plunged again and again in what to any other coun- try would mean dismemberment and ruin, Austria emerges apparently with new fife In the memory of men now living how often have we heard it said that the dual empire was on the point of falling to pieces that upon the slightest pretext Hungary, Bohemia or some other integral part would revolt, and yet today we find the imperial army composed of men from every part of the empire fighting Loyalty for their ruler
 The cause of this will not here be dis 1 cussed. The greatest historians differ when speaking of the psychology of this country Austria has more of the East in her than any other nation of Europe not excepting Russia. Her very name denotes it, and the character of the monarchs' rule, as well as the fealty of her people and their princes carries the suggestion still further
 While in the majority of other countries not entirely despotic political welfare seems predicated upon some measure of demo- | cratic control, Austria maintains position in that respect which is almost unique an anachronism. When studying her the stu dent must forget all his preconceived ideas of contemporary politics and be prepared to consider the subject as something quite l different from any which he has yet en- countered Austria" wrote Krones the historian, "is just Austria, naturalization of various elements by and through the | dynasty and the power of interests" And 1 that word dynasty explains great deal in the present case, for in no other country has the dynasty played so great part in its l history as in Austria, in spite of the short 1 comings the incompetence and the narrow mindedness of the rulers
 With no settled policy, unless it be the hmly rooted idea of absolutsm, the Haps- burgs have weathered all storms external or internal, now apparently giving way to this or that pressure, but yet never losing thelr dynastic hold on the people. When they conciliate the Hungarians or Bohemians, the Croatians or whoever may be on the point of revolt, it is only because concihation an- swers the dynastic aim. But when demands upon the throne become too persistent the Hapsburgs stoutly oppose them.-Herbert Caxton in the Tacoma Tribune.
