QUAINT OLD STEAMBOAT
TURKISH CAPITAL PLACE OF IN.
TEREsT TO THE TOURIST.
Quarters Allotted to Foreigners Are
Pera and Gaiats-Three Sundays
Celebrated During Week
Method of Telling Time.

Constantinople, or Stamboul, as the
Turk calls his metropolis, is much
discussed city just now. But of its
important foreign quarters, Pera and
Lalata, the stay-at-home Briton hears
little.
Galata is separated from CONSTANT
nople proper by the Golden Horn, and
lies principally between the two
bridges which span that world-famous
waterway.
Formerly these bridges had cap
tains and crews exactly as if they
were ships Later they became re-
markable for their shops, beggars
and dogs. Shops. beggars and dogs
have gone. but still the bridges are
objects of intense interest to the
stranger.
In Galata may be found sort Of
Petticoat lane in full swing every day
of the week. But, unlike Sunday mar
ket in the East end of London, the
avenue is shifted each morning. For
example, the indescribable bargain
ing and din is to be found on Thurs
days at Pershembeh, which means
the Thursday market.
Dealers in secondhand clothing
have a more or less permanent rem
devious at the Bit bazaar or Louise
market-an appellation more apt than
delicate.
Pera, which is modern Greek for
beyond stands on the hills behind
Galata, which in a double sense it
looks down on, considering itself the
superior suburb. Both are despised
by the real Turk, who, il he wishes to
tell you that another Turk has gone
hopelessly to the bad, will say che
has gone to Pera," or, more correctly.
ito Bey Olou," for the Turk refuses to
recognize the Christian designation OF
either Constantinople or it's suburbs.
A stranger stranded at Pera might
possibly go hungry; but it would be
his own fault if he thirsted. Elabor-
ate drinking fountains are in nearly
every street.
There is superabundance of post
ofices-but no postmen! No letters
are delivered. Each European power
has-or habits own post Office.
Thus, one calls at the English estab-
lishment if expecting letters from
home, at the French if correspondence
is likely to arrive from Paris, and
SO on.
Three Sundays week are observed
in both suburbs-F'riday by the Turks.
Saturday by the Jews, and Sunday by
the Christians. And three distinct
calendars are used. This year the
Mohammedan is dating his letters
1888, the Jew 5675, and the Christian.
of course, 1915.
But the inconvenience of using three
different calendars is slight compared
with the bewildering method mostly
used in computing the hours of the
day. A watch which kept correct
time on the shores of the Golden
Horn would be, somewhat paradoxical-
ly, rather an erratic timekeeper, ac-
cording to the standard laid down by
Greenwich, For, as twelve o'clock is
reckoned always to fall at the exact
moment of sunset, ones watch has to
gain or lose few minutes each day,
according to the season of the year

The crown princess, as Duchess Ce-
ellie of Mecklenburg-S chwerin, re-
ceived the offer of the heart and hand
of the crown prince while the two
were taking tea together. In entering
Berlin in royal procession to meet her
future husband. she was escorted from
the station through the Brandenburg
gate by the Berlin guild of butchers,
exercising an ancient privilege but
one in keeping with the little brides
reputed domesticity She was eight
cen, tall and slender, with fair brown
hair and soft, dark eyes as gentle as
a gazelles. She had been born in the
sleepy old town of Schwerin, but has
lived most of the years Of her girlhood
upon the Riviera with her mother, q
member of the Russian imperial fam
fly, Grand Duchess Anastasia, whose
escapades have furnished food for gos-
sip at the courts of Europe during two
decades. The bride was, outwardly,
modest, charming, unaffected. She
acknowledged very recent interest
in dolls.
The marriage was acceptable to the
council of state because 1t brought
the Hohenzollerns into new bonds
with the royal houses Of Russia, and
also with Denmark. The crown
princess sister is now the queen OF
Denmark. Her brother having mar
ried the duke of Cumberlands daugh

fond of pretty clothes and good time,

by her mothers conduct. Today, with

succession to the throne, and tiny
baby girl to appeal to the peoples
hearts, she is the most popular mem
Der of the imperial family.

the students Of Pendleton high met in
the auditorium and voted on the new
amendment 10 the constitution OF the

by only Il votes.
The new amendment provided for
a primary election by secret ballot
for the nomination OF officers OF the
student body doing away with the old
system OF oral nominations. The am
endment originated in the Bachelors
Club which was organized early last
fall. and its appearance before the
student body gave use to a good deal
OF heated debate between the origin
ators and those in opposition to its
adoption.
The amendment was before the
student body twice before II was vot-
ed upon. Only 173 out Of the $50
students appeared TO vote and Of the
i73 votes cast SO were in favor and
so were against. However. a two
thirds vote OF those present is requir
