Members of Seward Military Unit Entertain for Officers on for
 PresidiO

Honoring Capt. J. c. Luttrell and Lieut.. Edgar Hawley, who are about to depart for the officers school, a lively smoker was given at Arctic Brotherhood hall Friday night by the Seward military unit.
 Under the able guidance of Quarter master Sergeant John J. Ryan the event was an enjoyable occasion thru out.
 Dr. J. M. Sloan, president of the Seward Chamber of Commerce, first speaker of the evening, called atten- ton to Americas reason for entering the war and said that in his mind there never had been a doubt as to the ulti- mate conclusion since he heard of the torpedoing of the Lusitania with ll3 innocent babies aboard.
 "Never before had such crime been committed by a so-called enlightened people and it's commission spelled the doom of 'Kultur.'"
 Adjutant Byron, of the Spanish American war veterans, declared he did not propose to bring the horrors of war to those present any sooner than possible, therefore would not at tempt a speech. The quip caught the crowd right and he was cheered to an echo.
 Sen. L. V. Ray spoke feelingly upon the duty of young men to their coun- try in this crisis and the great oppor- tunity open to them, which many be- yond the age limit would gladly take up. He pointed out that the end of this war for world freedom is yet a long way off, and noone can foresee what the end will be.
 Mayor Cotter extended to the de- parting officers the best wishes of the community and declared that, although business had prevented up till now, hereafter, he would be found drilling with the unit.
 Atty. J. J. Finnegan called attention to the fact that America is preparing for three years more of war, and that more will probaly follow in the foot steps of those starting tonight on the road to the battlefields of France. Fin negan stated that Mayor Cotter's offer to provide uniforms would be accepted. 1 After the speaking refreshments were served. Several boxing bouts were staged, bringing out some sur prisingly clever men.
 Capt. Luttrell spoke on the future of the unit stating that he had placed matters in the hands of the proper off, cers anr that it is probable that reg ular army sergeant will come here from Anchorage to drill the unit and that every man of military age should join. Both officers in saying au revoir declared they would do their best at the Presidio to make Seward proud of it's representatives there.

-. BAN owl.

The barn owl. also called the
white or golden owl, Ia easily distin-
guished by heart-shaped ring sur
rounding It's face which is formed by
a layer Of feathers radlating from each
eye. The eyes are rather large and
the yellow iris opens and closes about
the pupil similar to the arrangement
in the cats eye. only the pupil In
the owls Is round when contracted
instead OF being elongated. In
TIL dark the pupil Is expanded until
It covers mos: OF the eye, giving 1t the
appearance II shining coal. The
enr Is very large, covering most OF the
side OF the head. and 1t Is very differ
ent from the ear of other birds. In
stead Of being mere hole opening
into the internal ear, there Is fold Of
skin which forms n channel extending
across the head from above the eye
widening to u considerable extent and
reaching almost to the windpipe.
When 1t is hunting in the dark the owl
is able to hear II very slight rustic
of leaves made by u mouse. It's
plumage is so fluffy and It's feathers
have such soft frlnges, which serve
as cushions, that Its flight Is absolute
ly noiseless

Pronunciation.

A study of individual pronunclations
sutiices to show that many accepted
rules of speech" exist only In imag
nation, and are regularly broken
very often unconsciously-even by
those who delight in laying down the
rules. says London Chronicle. Mr..
Daniel Jones, one Of our leading au-
thoritieS on English pronunciation,
tells an amusing story In support OF
this statement. He had remarked that
most educated people pronounce "al-
ways" as II it were written "orlwiz.'
One stately old dame was Mortified
at the idea, and repudiated the mere
thought. She summed up the whole
discussion by declaring with an air OF
flnallty, PERSONALLY I orfwiI say
'always!'" The only test Of what Is
correct pronunciation Is to find out
what is the general practice Of edu'
Gated people.
