ELECTION OF SENATOR

The declaration of both Andy Ander- son and George James of their candi- daey for Senator and the seeming senti- ment among some. that a Senotor ought Ia be selected from one now in the district would indicate that there will be several candidates in the field and as result this district may have but one Senator in Juneau for the major portion of the session. It would seem under the circumstances that it would be we'll to adopt the plan suggested by James and Anderson that is, to hold mass meetings and by an agreed plan of elimination in nominations practically determine the election within d few days so that our Senator could be pre- sent at the organization of the legisla ture. If We must wait till after election 10 determine who will be our next Sena. tor then il would be too late for on, elected to make the trip over the ice ant reach Juneau in time to be able to ac

ODDITIES OF FIGURE NINE
Writer With Spare Time on His Hands
Has Discovered Some Really In
teresting Facts.

There are some curious facts and
fancies connected with numbers. The
number 8 is, perhaps, the first as re-
CARDS such experiments, although num-
Der is more prominent in literature
and history. When you once use it
you can't get rid of it. 1t will turn up
again, no matter what you do to put
it down and out"
All through the multiplication table
the product of 9 comes 9. No matter
what you multiply with or how many
times you repeat or change the fig
ures, the result is always the same.
For instance, twice equals Is; add
8 and 1, and you have 8. Three times
9 equals 81; 2 and make 3 again.
Go on until you try II times 9-99.
This seems to bring an exception. But
add the digits-9 and make 10; and
again, and make 8. Go on to an
Understandable extent and the thing
continues. Take any number at ran
dom. For example, $50 times equals
1850, and the digits, added, make 9
once more. Take 5000 times 8, equals
$4,000. and again you have and 4.
Take any row of figures, reverse the
order, and subtract the less from the
greater-the total will certainly al
ways be or a multiple of 8. For ex-
ample, take 5,071-1,705 plus 1856.
Add these digits and you have IS, ana
and 8 make familiar 9.
You have the same result, no matter
how you raise the numbers by squares
and cubes.
One more way is given by which
number shows its strange powers.
Write down any number you please,
add its digits, and then subtract the
sum of said digits from the original

The Stone Bruise Age.

1t seems so many years ago,
Far back in ancient times,
When smoking corn-silk cigarettes
Was not the least of crimes:
When, pirates, or wild Indians,
We played upon life's stage
Back Oh the Rad to Yesterda,;
Back in the Stone-Bruise age.
We romped bare.fooled all day long
We read tom Sawyer" too,
Or fshed for buIlheads in the pond,
Beneath the skies of blue;
And many a homeless bow WOW
would
Our sympathies engage.
Back on the Road to Yesterday;
Back in the Stone Bruise age.
The lemonade stand tin-can
phones
Inc postage stampS-the SledS-
The haunted house-the cider

And Grandma's eingerbreads
The jack o'lanterns-all remain
Undimmed on Memory's page.
Though gone, the Road to Yester-

And gone. the Stone-Bruise age.

PLAY MARBLES WITH BULLETS
But in Spite Of Diversion, British Sol

the Trenches.

Prof. J. H. Morgan, late home office
commissioner with the British expedi-

Nineteenth Century, describes the read
iness OF our Tommies to play the part
of mothers help in the French vii

he saw was troop Of our cavalrymen
riding through Armentieres leading a
string of remounts, each remount with
q laughing child on it's back.
But 1t may we'll happen that in
spite Of babies, and baths, and brass
bands, and footballs, and boxing
gloves, and playing marbles (the gen.

HOW ONE NOVELIST WROTE
Frank Norris Worked Only Three
Hours at a Stretch, but Claimed
He Worked Every Day.

Frank Norris, the well-known author
OF "The Pit" 1.-THE Octopus" and Van
dover and the Brute" once sent a let
ter to Ward Macauley, the Detroit
book seller, in answer to certain gen.
eral questions about Norris writing.
Don't believe fiction writer should
shut himself up in his profession" the
letter says in part. Novels can't be
written from the closet or study.
You've got to live your stuff. Believe
novelists Of all people should take in
terest in contemporary movements,
politics, international affairs, the big
things in the world.
Il write with great difficulty, but
have managed somehow to accom-
plish forty short stories (all published
In fugitive fashion) and five novels
within the last three years, and a lot
OF special unsigned articles. Believe
my forte is the novel. Don't like to
write, but like having written.
Hate the effort of driving pen from
line to line, work only three hours a
day, but work every day. Believe in
blunt, crude Anglo-Saxon words. Some
times spend half an hour trying to get
the right combination of one-half doz-
en- words. Never rewrite stuff; do all
hard work at first writing, only revise
very lightly-in typewriter copy"

Painting With Airbrushes.

Painting and vanishing of large
surfaces is now being successfully &C
complished by means Of airbrushes,
which send the liquid paint in a huge
spray all over the object.
At big furniture factory in New
York they place chair upon revolv-
ing platform under a galvanized iron
hood, in the back of which is an cleo
trio fan drawing the air out into an ex-
haust fiue, and in the top of which are
electric lamps in front Of re1ectors.
The painter stands with an object that
looks like a pistol in his hand. This is
the airbrush, which is attached to a
tube leading from tank in which the
paint is under 70 pounds of pressure
furnished by dynamo and is kept con-
stantly stirred. On pressing the trig'
ger the paint is projected like a show
er bath all over the chair.

Debut of Ankle Boquet AS Feminine
Ornament

Feminine ideas of personal adorn-
ment change with the evolution of
dress So, richly embroidered hosiery
became the vogue when slit skirts
were in style. This seasons modes
in evening gowns and dancing frocks
permit conspicuous display of the
ankles and therefore fashion assents
80 heir deCUrutiou One of the
numerous attempts at this is TO be
found in the ankle bOquet, freakish
stab at 0rnamentalion that has
found certain expOnentS in the
smart sets of both the East and
middle West. The ankle boquet is
worn with dancing fr0cks and is
held in place with either a narrow
fiiigree band or a soft ribbon. 1t
must be of dainty proportion and
consists of flowers with delicate
tints which harmonize with the
costume worn.-From the January

Story of Barbed Wire.

Barbed wire, says the Manchester
Guardian. the origin of which Sir Ian
Hamilton recently attributed with I'M
historical picturesqueness to the devil,
was actually the invention of an in
genious lad named Latta. Fifty-four
years ago, the boy, then aged ten
years, saw on farm at some distance
from his home in New York state a
novel kind Of fence, with a boarding
at the top and another at the base, two
strands of thin wire strung between.
On his asking the reason for that Pc
culiar arrangement, he was told that
1t permitted the free passage of the
wind and prevented snowdrifts in win
tertime.
On the boys suggestion, his father
adopted that sort of fencing ON his
own farm. Then a neighbor allowed
his hogs to roam on the highway, and
they found Mr.. Latta's pasturage at
tractive. The thought then occurred
to young Latta that small barbs insert
ed in the wire strands at distances of
six inches might discourage them. The
hogs did not mind the scratches much,
but the owner of them objected, and
kept them at home.
The first patent taken out for barbed
wire was registered in the harmless
name of Smith, in 1867.
