ElenhantsI Ears.

The African elephant is equipped
with enormous ears, while his brother
in India has only small ears. Both
animals have small, inadequate eyes
and are forced to trust to scent rather
than vision in the battle of existence
The Indian elephant lives in the jun
gle, where doors are pungent and cas-
lily discernible, but the African ele-
plant is a native Of the plains, where
the air is dry and hot and barely cir
culates The heat dries the moisture
out of the tiny hairs in the nostrils
which connect with the sensory nerves,
and it is only through tapping his
enormous ears that he can create the
currents Of air which enable him to
discern any OdOr at all.
Travellers are prone to ascribe the
Tapping of an elephants ears to fury,
but this is mistaken notion.-Phila-

A Series of School Tests and an Am

Ever since it was proved that in all
righthanded people the speech center
of the brain-the place from which
talking is controled-is on the left side
of the brain and that i'll lefthanded
people it is on the right side there has
existed a suspicion that if Il person be-
came ambideXtrous. or able to use both
hands equally well, the speech center
might be doubled, and consequently
talking ability might be improved
Very elaborate tests have shattered
this hope.

tried it out on nearly 5000 school chill

Gunners' Patron Saint.

Why was ST. Barbara chosen to be
the patron saint of all gunners? 1t is
one of those things which are to be
known and which one ought to know,
but does not. Meanwhile there is the
fact that she does intercede for all gun
ners by land or sea.
In the old French navy the Ste
Barbe was the gun room. and the name
may be found with that meaning at
over, in France she is the saint not only
of gunners. but of all fire brigades.

SLOGAN FOR FARMERS.

BUY it now" is the slogan Of
new movement intended to
apply to farmers, and engineered
by the Farmers alliance. The
idea is to help the general bust
ness of the country by urging
farmers to buy their supplies
early in the season, instead Of
waiting as so many do, until
actually needed for the spring
campaign.
Apart from the effect on gen
eral business, the advice is good
for the sake of the farmer him
self. To say nothing of the time
wasted by waiting, there is con-
siderable gain by taxing plenty
of time to decide where and how
to buy and by having the goods
on hand well ahead of time

At the meeting of the Valdez Com mercial Association held last evening the following members were elected to serve as board of trustees for the ensuing term: J. c. Martin. w. M. Ethical, W. M. Wilson, Edwin Eckern, Sam Blum, E. E. Ritchie and Arthur Lang.
 As provided for in the constitution of the association, the board of trus- tees next proceeded to elect the off cers with the following result: Presi. dent, J. c. Martin; Vice-president, w. M. Ethical; second Vice president, E. E. Ritchie; Treasurer, Edwin Eckern; Secretary, James Fish.
 Chief of the Fire Department Fini. cal addressed the meeting on the matter of improving the fire protec- tion of the down town district and stated that he had given the matter great deal of time while in Port land. He was of the opinion that an auxiliary pumping station should be established to effectively control any fires that may occur that were out of reach of the central fire station.
 He stated that he believed a cen trifugal pump run by 100 h. p. motor would be an economical solution. While in Portland and Seattle he had conferred with fire department off cials, and they were all very much in favor, of the centrifugal pump. The chief of the Portland department turn ed out the department and gave MT. Finicss practical demonstration of the value of this kind of pump. A pump and motor that will have the same capacity and furnish as muck water in a given time as the present steamer owned by the city, can be bought for a little over $1,3O0, and he believed that it would be economy to install one as soon as possible.
 He will bring this matter to the attention of the fire department at special meeting, which he has called for this evening.

The renewal of activities at the sawmill will give employment to a number of men, MT.
