MEANING OF TOTEM POLES
 EXPLAINED BY EDUCATOR

The Verstovan, published by the pupils of the Sheldon Jackson school at Sitka Says:
 "The following paragraphs are excerpts from The Origin and Meaning of the Totem Poles in Southeastern Alaska by r. F. Frobese, formerly curator of the &hcldon Jackson Museum. These statements apply to the Uydah tribe, the inventors of the totcm
 "'Thcre are three different kjndr of totem poles. One kind is usually erected in front of houses showing different animal figures representing the totems of a family and their relatives, and is called the family totem. Another totem pole is~ called the death totem post in which the ashes of the dead are gathered. The third and last class Of totem poles was erected by the HydahS to illustrate any remarkable event that had taken place.
 "'Exactly like the old Romans the Fly dahs were divided into three classes the rich the middle class and slaves. Tie last were never allowed to erect poles n front of their houses When d Hydah girl mar ried it was done with much ceremony New the totems of married couple are of course different. For example, we w!ll say the woman las the totem of a raven while thc man has that of the eagle Should the family decide to erect a totem pole m front of their home which was always an expensive luxury, Illustrating the wealth and rank of the family the carving on this pest would be as fellows: The uprermost figure, the totem of the wife, a raven; the second that of the man, the image of an caole; after that any totems belonging to relatives of the family may be represented on this pole namely, beaver, bear, frog, wolf Salmcn whale seal shark.
 "In certain Ilacc sometimes a small uninhab lend death pole was erected with the totcms of the deceased carved on .hp same and in the back of the post cavity had been cut, in which the remains were deposited; also the bclonginos of the person when alive were buried with h> a-has in the pole. The hole CT cavity was neatly covered with an original slab taken from the small pole.
 "'We now come to the third class of totem poles These illustrate events, legends and other stories The carvings may be fit resemblance to the ancient picture writings of the cid Teutons. The Hydah name for the latter columns is Ceatlang lae-lee, and the correct translation of this into English is >tory-mal,er A story-maker is as much o mystery to the present native generation as to the white inhabjtant. The carvings If old are practically the same as those made at present and ean easily be recog r;ged as to what particular animal, bird or G-h is meant by the general outlines the figures repre~ent; but the combinations of aany Of the figures as they are represented cuc above another on these long poles, what story they tell, and why such pole was erected, will forever remain . mystery, and was probably only known to the man or family to which it belonged. Natives on being asked to tell the story about such totem pole will readily do so, but the same story is never corroborated.' ,

 Mr end Mrs. Vernon Castle, known all over the United States as opponents Of the art of fancy dancing formerly resided at Nome and probably attended the delight ful functions given there in the good old days Although at that time they were not recognized as exceptional in this line of endeavor so far as any Nomeite here remembers.
 The redoubtabe Frank kleinSchmidt, sOurdough Alaskan, whose moving pictures of Arctic animal life have been shown in about every city, village and hamlet in the States has been with General Non Hinden- burg's army in Russia where he served aS 8 special correspondent for a Berlin news paper.

 Jack Hines, former Nomeite is making a very decent living in New York city, en- gagged in writing short stories for the maga- zines. No one ever suspected Hines of possessing literary ability, but he de ivers the goods in the metropolis and gets well paid for his writing, mostly Alaskan stories.

"ALASKA'S POET LAUREATE
 WILL WRITE WAR POEMS

Robert w. Service, Alaska's poet laureate, who fer several months has been busy heav- ing bombs from French to German trenches with a lacrosse racquet, is going to write a book on Ballads of Battle as soon as he can find time. This story came in a private letter from publisher says the Juneau Empire.
 Frank c. Dodd, of Dodd Meade X Co.,, went to France last April in an effort to find Service and induce him to write some poetry dealing with the war. Service was at the front. and Dodd was unable to get pass permitting him to visit the trenches. He was not particularly anxious about mak- ing the trip, anyway, as the point at which Service was stationed was not very health full, there being q superAuity of German bullets and pieces of shrapncl whistllng through the atmosphere. He left a letter for Service and returned to the United States \ few days ago Dodd received an answer which he forwarded to a friend of Service.

Lately l have been driving am intuition automobile trucks and doing am buancp work, which is not quite as nerve rackng as is bomb throwing. But at that my nerves are becoming somewhat fraz2led I guess it must be the noise, I'll have to quit before long, and when l get back to where it's quieter I'll see what l can do about writing something on the war
 \ story Is told to the effect that some time ago Service rescued a wounded Irish man The man died before he reached a base hospital Service, who although he is a poet has good business sense found ln the mans pockets 2 copy of poem on War written in Iang hand. Service read it and thought it q masterpiece, He toll newspaper correspondents of the greet tragedy. Here had been discovered an un known genius who died on the eve of gain ing public recognition. The newspaper cor respondents printed the story of the poem and then it was discovered that the verse had been written nearly sixty years ago by an author of international reputation.

GERMAN MILITARY SHAKE-UP
 CAUSED BY VERDUN BLUNDER

A Rotterdam dispatch of Gentemhor , @iscussing the then recent military crisis Tn Germany, states that 1t Is reported on ex- cellent authority that it was the climax of bitter conflict between Non Falkenheyn and Von Hindenburg over the Verdun offensive,
 Von Hindenburg was utterly opposed to any offensive in France, but wanted to strike immediately another blow at Russia. For this he was prepared, not only with plan of campaign, but with preparations actually made behind the front in Cour- land.
 He made demand on the general staff for additional forces to carry out this en- terprise, but they were refused him by Won Falkenheyn and Won Hindenburg's plan was overruled in favor of the offensive against Verdun.
 Behind Won Falkenheyn in this dlsas- trous decision was the German crown prince, who is held by well-informed persons to be really responsible for the colossal blunder of Verdun.
 The fall of Won Falkenheyn is regarded as of the greatest significance, even lmpe1l- ing the Hohenzolern dynasty.
 It was the intervention of Roumanla that caused the kalser to side With Non linden burg. The change in the leadership of the general staff has resulted in a widespread shake-up of the German army.
 The most interesting of Won Hindenburg's $ new appointments is that of General Won Bernhard, the famous military author, to the command of the army corps defending he kovel section of the Volhynian front Won Bernhardi's book, Germany in the Next War" published in 1912, has been widely quoted as proof that Germany had long contemplated the launching of a great European war. The book has proved pro- phetc of the present conflict in many i'm portant particulars. The kaiser has just bestowed upon its author, now in the field the Order Pour le Merite General Von Bernhardi's promotion was effected by Field Marshal Won Hindenburg at the expense of the Austrian, Major General Pulhuallo whom he relieved of the kovel command

Sky's Appearance Sketchej

George A. Dowling one of the staff artists for the Oregonlan, witnessed the Cc- l.stial illumination, and was quick to pro n0unce it a rare manifestation of the north en lights, wLich he had seen on several occasions from the Canadian woods and from Minnesota and North Dakota, From an eminence in Piedmont Saturday night Mir Bowling watched the lights play across the sky fer almost an hour, and he made a rough sbetch of the appearance of the sky during that time.
 "'The effect cf the display was such that the mountains, especially St. Helens, could be seen in sharp silhouette, MT. Bowling said T have watched the northern lights and also the more beautiful aurora boreaiis from places in Canada and Northern Min nesota and North Dakota, and l feel cer ain the phenomena Saturday night was rare manifestation of the northern lights. I had never witnessed them in Oregon nor 1t this season of the year however. From UT residence the lights Saturday night bathed the entire northwestern sky in vel low light and sent brilliant shafts far into the east and southeast at times.
 "A notable aurora was seen in Omaha, Neb., in September, 1908. It came after a five weeks rainess period and directly pre- ceding were high temperature, strong winds and a dust storm, which were followed by a sudden drop in temperature from 80 to 42 degrees.
 "A luminosity of an auroral nature is sometimes mistaken for the aurora bo- tealis Strips and patches of luminous haze appear in no particular part of the sky at no particular hour with slow drifting motion among the stars that is comparable with the drift of the hay, streaky clouds often seen by day"

Uric Acid Poisoning?

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up in the
system is the cause Of rheumatism,
that this uric acid poison is present In
the joints, muscles, or nerves. By ex-
perimenting and analysis at the H.
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute in
Buffalo, N. y, DR.. Pierce discovered Il
combination of native remedies that he
called Anuric-which drives out the
uric acid from the system, and in this
way the pain, swelling and inflamma-
ton subside. If you are sufferer from
rheumatism, backache, pains here or
there. you can obtain Anuric at any
drug store and get relief from the
pains and Ills brought about by uric
acid; or send DR.. Pierce 10c for trial
pkg. Anuric which you will find many
times more potent than lithia
eliminates uric acid as hot water melts
sugar. A short trial will convince you.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-R Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Overcomes Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the polsons
and waste matter from the system by
hltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex.
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, BRICK
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your KID.

more serious trouble.
