where the women attempt to black

"Women will never penetrate tropical swamps to hurl great bridges across nightly rivers, or build any Panama canals" she as serted. We shall do some of the things that men do, but these will not be the highest contribution of women to civilization. It will be by a development of our own resources, by the discovery of fields of labor which we are physically and tenn perameutaIy fitted to fill better tha men can fill them that we will justify our claim to consideration as an intellectual force in the world
 She asserted that co-education is 2tM being tested, and that it's val ues will never be completely vindt- caled until women "are able to think for themselves, play by themselves and construct for them selves, as men are"

A Primitive HuntInn Weapoh.

The bolas is a missile weapon used by hunters and Indians in South Amer lea to cntangle the feet of animals and thus throw them to the ground. This primitive weapon consists of two or more balls of stone or metal, usually covered with leather and connected to the ends of cords or thongs. The hunt CT holds one of the balls in his right hand, whlrls the other around his head and, when the proper mGmentum has been obtained, sends them whlrling like chain shot through the air. When the thong comes in contact with the legs of an animal it is tightly wound about them, a fall results, and escape Is impossible.

KNOWLEDGE DOESN'T UNSEN
 WOMEN, ASSERTS NEW DEAN

University Of Washington, Oct, l3-lIiss Ethel Coldwel, the new dean of women at the University of Washington, has little patience with those who believe educatiOnn de tracts from the charm of women, She tcld the students of her sex as much at the first wOmen's assem- Dlv @ few days ago, and added that sh7 believed it the duty of the university to give them the power to utilize their natural instincts for public service
 Tt is nonsense to say that edu- cation unsexes women" she said. No woman is a less fine wife be- cause she is educated to be a com paaiUn to her husband, or a less tender mother because she under stands the science of infant feeding and the importance of regular hours Training should merely broaden your horizon to such an extent that the wife and mother interest is brOadened to cOmpre- hsnd the general problems of all wives and a sense of responsibility for child welfare and infant nor tality; the home instinct is extend cd 10 an intelligent understanding of the importance of careful city planning, drainage and housing"
 Dean CoIdweu strongly urged a vocational trend of study for wo- men during their last two years in college, that they might be fitted to provide for themselves ill an em- ergcncy. She ridiculed, however, those who contend that what a man can do, a woman can do.

EARLY WINTER PREDICTED

|. seems probbale, from reports ip the Far North that Alaska is to experience an unusually early win ter, if not the earliest in a decade, says the Seward Evening Post. Of- ficers of the steamer COrwin re- ported that the ice was setting south toward Boring sea very early and the following report from the Nome Industrial Worker fOretells an early freezeup in Boring sea. The same conclusion is borne out by reports from Cook Inlet, which tell of freezing weather at night around the head of the inlet already:
 The steamer Arctic arrived from the north yesterday and sails Q, four o'clock this afternoon for Teller, York, Tin City, and return. Capt Whitlam, like the king in the ballad, was in his counting house counting up his money when a re- preventative of the Industrial Work CT sought some information as to northern doings. It was the cold est up north he had ever eXocri- cnced this time of the year, and it fgl. as if the ice were floating around nearby and doubtless it is, because he stated that it blew one steady, unyarying northwestern from the time he left Nome until his return.
 MT. Lopp, the chief of the bu- reau of education, has gone north to the Kobuk to inspect the new native settlement for which a re- servation had been secured for tine Deering natives on that river. The Arctic waited some time for him to return, but was obliged to sail back without him.
 The schooner Challenge, if all Zee reports are correct, will have a hard time getting to Barrow as the boat only left Wales on August 27, and the weather was cold and chilly all the time, indicating the proN- lmity of the ice. Netaer had capt BackIand with the schooner Holmes returned when they left Kotze6us and he may also have had hard time navigating back from Barrow.

The Central Maine Fair at Wateryille

The Twelfth Annual Exhibition of
the Central Maine Fair to be held in
Waterville, Aug. 31st, September l,
and 3, will undoubtedly be the great
est Fair in the history of the organi-
cation. The preliminary plans are all
now completed, the tents for housing
the display of horses, sheep and swine
are all ordered. The fireworks and the
racing track have all been taken care
of, and the fairgrounds now begin to
have the appearance of life. The
special features of the fair such as
the $500 poultry exhibit, the $4,000
midway attraction, the $500 vaude-
vile entertainment to be given on the
elevated stage, the $50 high class rae
ing horses entered the motordrome,
the diving girls, the oriental shows,
and baseball games, have all been ar
ranged for. The same policy as pur-
sued in the past continues to be the
watchword for the present and such
features as have been of benefit and
instruction will be retained and there
will be something novel and entertain
ing for young and old every minute in
the day
