.IKADO'S LAST
 PERFORMANCE

Another large and well pleased audience witnessed the closing per formance of the Mikado last even- ing. To some who saw both shows the second one exceeded the first. as both chorus and soloists seemed to have more confidence in them selves, and put more life, or so- called ginger. in their work. Each performance, however. done grea. credit to those who took part in it. and Ketchikan may be proud that it contains such dramatical men and women, or persons as Pooh Bah calls them, who can put on..such an opera as the Mikado in such an ex- cellent manner. The Lord High Ex- ecutioner and Kitty" are a team rendering of their parts took on more of professional finish than is usually found in amateur per- formances. While mention has been made of the different soloists, the chorus deserves a special notice by itself. The beautiful girls, with their charming costumes, made an impression that will finger in ones mind long after the sound of their voices have been forgotten, even
 
 though their singing was away above the average. On the whole 1t was great show. Considering the small stage, and the number taking part. The stage pictures were about as beautiful as is sell dom seen, and reflects great credit on Prof. Robinson's ability as a director in handling raw material and turning out such a finished pro- duet, in so short a. time. As a suggestion, it seems as though this present organization of musical tal- ent should be continued and a per manent one formed for future en- tertainments of like character. There are numbers of light operas, such as Martha, Bohemian Girl, Little Tycoon. etc, that could be given. and prove the excellent ability snown by those who took part in

LoQUACIOUs FRANCE.
(From the Outlook


 The Frenchman feels compelled to expres his thought, to make it objec- tive, to communicate it. Thought means little to a Frenchman unless he writes it or speaks it. We are a people who, when We have something to say, insist upon saying it. Some times we are accused of not even waiting until We have something to say! We're often called loquacious. Possibly We are. But I am not sure that We should resent the criticism. The heavy, guttural, taciturn nations have never been the foremost serv- antes of human progress Athens was loquacious- But compare her winged words with the heavy lac onics of Sparta and ask yourself to which of the two the world is most indebted.

INSPECTORS ORDER DECK
 LOAD TAKEN OFF AROLINF

The Post-Intelligencer of the 18th says. Capt. B. B. Whitney and H. c. Lord, United States steamboat inspectors ordered approximately 25 tons of heavy freight taken off the decks of the steamship Aroline, of the Pacific Alaska Navigation con- pany before they would permit the vessel to sail for Anchorage. The Aroline, carried over 2,000 tons of heavy freight, mostly railroad equip ment.
 "The inspectors also ordered that the Aroline be sent North via the inside passage. She was scheduled to sail on the outside, but the in spectors were afraid that heavy seas coming aboard the deeply loaded ship might cause a disaster. By the time the Aroline gets to Cape Spen- cer and the open sea she will have approximately 100 tons of her fuel used and will be lighter by that much said the inspectors last night. We could not permit 5ler to sail as she was too heavily loaded.'"

STOP! CALOMEL
IS QUICKSILVER
It's mercury! Attacks the bones,
salivates and makes
you sick.

There s no reason why person should
take sickening, salivating calomel when
80 cents buys large bottle of Dodson IS
Liver Tone--a perfect substitute for
calomel.
1t is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't make
you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson s Liver Tone because it is per-
fectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take
a dose of nasty calomel today and you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated to-
morrow. Don't lose a days work. Take
a spoonful Of Dodson's Liver Tone in
stead and you will wake up feeling
great. No more biliousness, constipa-
ton, sluggishness, headache, coated
tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist
says if you don It find Dodson's Liver
Tone acts better than horrible calomel

UNLIKE THE MODERN METHOD
Egyptian Remedies for Skin Disease
Differed Widely From Those at
Present In Use.

The contrast between the very an
cient and the very modern methods of
treating skin diseases is well illustrat-
ed in the medical writings of the an
cient Egyptians. The most modern
method Of treating these Affections is
by serums. A favorite prescription of
the Egyptian doctors was the follow.
ing: Take the toes of a dog, ripe
dates and asses hoofs in equal parts.
Boil these carefully in a pan of oil
This is an excellent remedy for skin
eruptions and to make hair grow"
In these ancient writings we find the
first authentic record of the use of
goose grease in therapeutics, and ap-
parently this remedy has never lost
it's popularity. AS used by the Egyp-
tians, however, goose grease was only
one of several ingredients useful in
treating certain skin diseases, particu-
larIy badness. In this recipe five
other fats were used in equal parts,
mus, crocodile, snake and ibex. This
remedy was to be used for period OF
not more than four days. But it ap-
pears that skin diseases continued
prevalent in ancient Egypt, just as
they prevail there at the present time

EYE FOLLOWS SPOKE
Explanation Of Seeming Phe-
nomena of the "Movies.
Nhy Wheel, as It Revolves, Seems to
Rotate Observation-Disclosures That
as Puzzled Many Is Really
a Simple Matter.

Every person who has gone to the
movies has probably noticed when
there is picture thrown on the screen
which involves the rotation of wheel
having spokes, such as those on bug
BY or an automobile, that as the wheel
hrst starts to rotate it appears to re-
volye In unison with the rest of the
picture, but as it gains speed it sud
denly appears to rotate backward,
rapidly at first; then 1t slowly stops
turning, although the vehicle gains in
speed. 1t then seems to rotate forward
slowly, but not with the speed Of the
rest of the vehicle. The film manu-
facturers have not been able to elimi-
nate this unfortunate illusion. Many
explanations have been heard, but
they seldom approach the right one.
The moving picture is based on the
fact that the retina of the eye retains
the vision for small fraction Of a
second. A moving object seen on the
screen In reality is a series of pictures
projected with such rapidity that the
rotina Of the eye still has the vision OF
one projection when the next appears
Thus the picture appears to move. In
the case of revolving wheel the eye
follows the spokes. To make the ey

clan to Pay Surgeon, Then Failed
to Make Good.

Some time ago an eminent physi-
clan requested an equally eminent sur
geon to accompany him to see dis
tinguished patient, and he readily
agreed. The patient (who was al
ways very loath to pay his debts) was
exceedingly polite to both the medical
men, shaking hands with them and
bowling them out of the room in the
most affable manner.
Soon after this professional visit the
same physician called again on the
surgeon, requesting him to accompany
him to see another patient. On their
way thither the surgeon remarked:
Il hope this patient will behave
more literally than the last did"
Why" said the physician, did he
not give you a fee?'

Diagram Showing Why Wheels Turn
Backward in Movies.

planation as simple as possible the top
spoke will be considered, and it's sub.
sequent positions and phenomena an,
alyzed.
When the wheel starts to rotate to
the right, as shown in the diagram, the
top spoke in the picture will be in po-
sition No. /,
II the second picture shows the
spoke in position No. 2 the wheel will
appear to be rotating in unison with
the rest of the picture If, however,
the wheel is rotating rapidly enough
SO that the second picture shows the
top spoke in position No. it will ap-
pear to the eye that the next spoke,
which was in position No. in the first
picture, has moved back to position
No. 4, and the wheel appears to be ro'
tating backward
When the wheel rotates so fast that
the camera catches the second posi-.
ton of the first spoke in the first po'
sition of the second spoke, the wheel
will show no rotation at all, though
the vehicle still moves.
When the wheel rotates SO fast that
the second position Of the top spoke
will appear in position No. 6, the
wheel will appear to have rotated from
positions Nos. to 6. This appears
as slow forward rotation.
