Furthermore although advised by the city attorney that his power did not reach that or voting except in case of tie, he has been advised that Mayor Blake wired to Territorial Counsel Cobb and re- ceived instructions specifically that he could vote and he did. In this connection it may be stated that legal opinion in Nome opposed the Cobb interpretation of the law and at least on one occasion when the city contract for the pumping plant was being signed, because the Mayor voted for it, Attorney Orton insisted that another meeting be called eli minating the mayors vote, as it af. fected the legality of the proceed ings.

The Eagle is the schooner that made the scientific trip to Kolyma river and is practically a new boat. However to equip it for passenger trade along the coast, the rules and regulations require con siderable equipment at once compli- cated and costly.

What healthy Nerves
Mean to You

A strong, vigorous nervous system
means health, strength and ability TO
endure hardship and also to enjoy the
full pleasures Of life.
The man with healthy nerves accom-
plishes greater tasks with less fatigue.
He has clear eye, an active brain
and sound body. He is enabled to
think better and work faster. He has
energy. With healthy nerves he can
overcome the hardest competition, be
successful and gain wealth.
The woman with healthy nerves Is
never hstless, weak or hopeless; she
is not irritable, she never suffers from
hysteria, she has reserved surplus
of endurance. Healthy nerves will
prevent the sleepless mother, although
worn with care and nursing. from a
break down" caused by her double
or treble duty.
All men and women who suffer
from these forms of nervousness -
known as Neurasthenia-who have
gone to pieces" who lack energy,
who have insomnia, who have sue
cumbed to nervous prostration or ner-
vous exhaustion, either mental or ply
steal, whose condition is one OF irri-
table weakness, will find ready relief
and cure In the peculiar properties OF

Travellers Want
GAME WITH FAST
OLYMPIC SQUAD

The Chinese Travellers desire a
game during the Olympic series. BY
next week they will have the lineup
of the team which will make the trip
to the mainland 1t is certain that
they will have a strong squad and will
be in position to give the Winged-O
players a good game. Baseball play
ers and fans are waiting for the an.
nouncement of the final schedule with
interest as the game would be a good
one.
The Chinese Travellers have adEer-
tised Honolulu more than any other
aggregation of athletes that has repre-
sented Hawaii On the mainland they
know our athletics by the perform
ances of Duke Kahanamoku and the
Travellers. Each year the ball tossers
from Hawaii play hundreds of games
in every section of the country, and
hundreds OF thousands OF people have
watched them play.
From California to Massachusetts
and from Michigan to Texas the play
ers are known, and inasmuch as the
people who watch them play are
watching them for hours, some kind
Of an impression is bound to be LETT.
1t is direct advertising. In addition 10
the games scheduled the players carry
literature with them which goes into
the right hands.
From the standpoint of boosting Ha-
waii, the Travellers deserve a game
with the 0lymplcs, providing they will
have no better team than the other
clubs which are clamoring for games.
When the question of their ability is
raised, their performances locally anu
on the mainland would surely give
them a chance at the Olympic team.
Foster Robinson viii be in the box
for the Travellers, and the tourists
should put UP a game that would be
entirely satisfactory to the fans.
