miscroscope, a displacement of any one star can thus be found with reference to the others.
 It is in this way that tn distances of the nearer stars are measured, and the results are so enormous that they over whelm the imagination. We find that there is no star so near that the light with which we view 1t, though travelling with the inconceivable velocity of neariy 100000 miles a second. has occupied less than several years in coming to us. while many even of the brighter stars are no less than 100 light years away.
 And 1t is still more remarkable that many of the very bright stars of tho sky are so remote that they undergo no displacement arising from our motion about the sun at all. It may be that their. light has occupied thousands of years in coming to us, and 1t Is certain that they areas far as 100 liett years away. The brilliant ArcturuSa now sd conspicuous in the western sE is one of these. This star is certainlyf...any thou sand times brighter than our sun, for though it seems so bright to us it Is so infinitely remote that its distance can not be measured.
 Truly the great cloud of suns which surrounds us is of so enormous a mag nitude that our whole solar system seems to shrink into nothing in comparison with it.

 Jupiter will at once attract atten- ton in the southeast just below the Great Square of Pegasus.

 Saturn is in the morning sky, lying on September i, six degrees to the east and little below the planet Mars. It rises far in the northeast about four and one-half hours before sunrise on September l. and this time is increased to five and one-half hours by Septem- Der 30. The reader who chooses to observe during the early morning hours will find that both of these plan cts are excellently situated for study while at this time he will also see the brilliant Jupiter low in the southwest The morning skies are thus far more brilliant at present than those of the early evening.

 THE PLANETS IN SEPTEMBER
 Mercury may be detected low in the twilight glow throughout almost the whole of the present month. On September l 1t sets. almost exactly due west about one hour after sun set while on September 27 it reaches it's greatest eastern elongation, by which time. however, it will have moved much farther toward the south point Of the horizon
 Venus passes the sun on September 12 and enters the evening sky. but throughout the month it is far too neat the sun to be satisfactorily observed

On September 1 1t rises four and one-half hours before the sun, and its own eastward motion among the stars is so rapid that this time is increased only to five hours by the end of the month. This planet is now near the summer solstice and so rises ns high in the heavens as does the sun in midsummer. It Is approach

ANOTHER EDITOR WANTS ALASKA
 OPENED

The leading Pacific Coast cities should get together and urge upon the government the advisability of a de- velopment of Alaska unhampered by the present government restrictions, declares F. w. Kellogg, publisher and one of the owners of the San Francis co Call. With the development of the Northern territory will come gen eral prosperity for the whole Pacific coast" he said, "and there will be less need to go abroad for markets.
 "The present is the Pacific coasts opportunity to profit by Alaska. All that the Coast needs is an intelligent development of this great territory and this will come if the government can be induced to permit development without the usual government restric-

AMERICANS ARE I HO R0 J GHLY
 EXAMINED

ROTTERDAM, Aug. 13-So that no useful information may escape atten- tion, the German government has in. stituted a very thorough system of ex- animation of travellers crossing the frontier from Holland.
 To deal with Americans there is on the staff of the commandant of the station on the border three officers who speak perfect English and have thorough knowledge of the United States and Canada. One of them halls from Milwaukee, where he was edu- cated in the public schools, another from St. Louis and the third from Montreal.
 After the traveller has undergone an examination at the hands of a Ger man non-commissioned officer, whose chief aim seems to be to find out whether he can speak or understands German, for Germans are suspicious of German-speaking foreigners, he is handed over to the three English. speaking officers who entertain him lavishly and proceed to extract all in formation that they can, especially if he has spent any time in England. When, as it often happens, the traveller scents the object of the inquiry. the trio seek another and probably more voluble passenger.

SHIPMENT HEAVY RAILS LIN
 THE WAY

Bringing the first consignment of steel rails to be used in permanent construction of the federal railroad in Alaska, a special train of twelve cars reached Seattle last Friday night over the Great Northern railway.
 The rails are from Kansas City from which city they were brought West over the Burlington railroad to Billings, Mont, and turned over to the Great Northern in that city to be hur. ried to Seattle by fast schedule.
 Although a large amount of steel rails have been sent to the North to be used in connection with the con struction of the line, they have all been of light weight and used in con structing track for work trains. The rails which reached Seattle are fol permanent trackage and will be used in the construction of railway yards at Anchorage. They were consigned to George W. Evans & Co.,, of Seattle The shipment was loaded on the freighter Seward, of the Alaska Steam ship Company, which will deliver the consignment at Anchorage.

IN DREAD OF ZEPPELIN
 VISITS

CARLO, Aug. 13-Early closing is the rule in Egypt, and follows the pro hibition of the sale of absinthe. In Cairo, Alexandria, the Canal, Suez and elsewhere within a radius of five miles of any military camp, the sale of alco- holic liquors of any sort is stopped at 10 o'clock at night and is not allowed to begin until the following morning. Ten o'clock closing is also compul- sorry in these districts for all cafes, restaurants and theatres.
 The early closing combined with the half lighting of the streets, which is purely a measure of economy, has given rise to the belief among the na- lives that zeppelins are stationed in Syria and intend to raid Egypt.
