Encouraging tests have recently
been made by an eastern inventor with

The bunk Is suspended at the head
and foot from an angular beam,

bar OF the supporting frame. The
arrangement permits the bed TO re-
main level at all times. regardless OF
either the longitudinal or lateral mo-
lions Of a vessel. Furthermore, the
vibrations Of the engines and pro-
pellers are not transmitted to the oc-
cupant OF a suspended berth. The ap-
paratus was tried out and commended
by passengers apd officers aboard a
steamer plying between New York and

while he was In training he bought a
collie for $10--a wonderfully pugna-

that Ned loved, and only one, and that
was Corbett. And Jim loved the dog
for his bravery. Ned always slept at

 From New York to Seattle, the cities of the United States have been holding monster preparedness par ades. Patriotic citizens have swarm ed in hordes to show that they be- lieve that "the land of the brave and the home of the free" should be the land of the prudent also,-that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound Of cure-and that the time to lock the stable is before the horse is stolen.
 What the Juneau Fourth of July parade committee proposes to do Is to offer to every patriotic American who resides in the Gastineau chan. mel country or in Southeastern Alaska, for that matter. an opportunity to put his shoulder to the wheel and do his bit for Prepared America.
 Governor Strong (Major Strong), it is unofTcially stated. will lead the parade. on foot It is the hope of the committee that every patriotic heart in this part of Alaska will beat time to the music of Juneau band on that occasion. and that every pa triot will fall into line and catch the step.

Floods Cause Damage

Water from the melting snow in
creased by the rains last week have
flooded all the low places and swelled
the rivers to new high water marks
everywhere in the county. Last week
several bridges spanning Muddy Creek
went out and considerable damage was
done to roads and culverts. The cold
weather of the past few days came to
halt the streams and it is believed the
high danger point has been passed.
At Tintah the streets were inundated
several days and the water covered
business floors and filled ,all the
cellars. At Browns Valley farmer
and his wife came near drowning.
The river had overlooked a bridge
near town and as the couple at
tempted to drive through one of the
horses fell off the bridge and the
buggy was overturned. The man
and woman were caught in the rapid
stream and carried some distance.
They managed to grasp the limbs of
trees and held fast till help arrived.
After being in this perilous position
from twelve to five o'clock they were
rescued by an Indian who chopped
down trees and made a raft. Both
horses were drowned.

which his son Sheridan sustained by

every assurance that he will have no
permanent injury from the fall. The

ConventionaIity Is a Twant.

There is little doubt that one of the
most oppressive, injurious, detestable
forces in the world is the force of con-
ventionality, that instinct. which makes
men judge character and an action not
by its beauty or its merits, but by com
pairing it with the standard of how the
normal man would regard it, writes
Arthur G. Benson. This vast and in
tolerable medium Of dullness, which
penetrates our lives like a thick, dark
mist, allowing us only to see the object
in range of an immediate vision, hostile
to all originality, crushingly respect
able; that dictates our homes, our oe
equations, our amusements, our emo
tons, our religion, is the most ruthless
and tyrannical thing in the world. u
