seq northeast of the extremity of Cape Cod was also the concurrent statement. Natur- ally this report was received with great interest at Boston and at Washington, com
 ing as it did, simultaneously with the story of an attack by submarine upon the United States steamship Smith. Several days have passed, however, and no state ment concerning naval encounter has been given out by the navy or war department, and skepticism as to the correctness of the Cape Cod reports is beginning to enter the public mind Yet on Friday there came a fresh dispatch containing the extraordinary statement that renewed firing had been heard. But there was no renewed firing Good and careful people, whose testimony would be taken quite seriously in court of justice, have from several distant points testified to these sounds. And yet quite evidently there have been no "guns of the coast" in sequence of fifteen or otherwise
 How, then, can this mysterious occur renee be explained? It cannot be satisfac- torily explained, but they who live in the vicinity of the ocean cannot fail to be aware that there are phenomena connected with the great waters for which no scientist has yet found an explanation. It is no uncom- mon occurrence for the people living at or near the extremity of Cape Cod to hear sounds of heavy booming coming in from the sea, sounds which have never been quite accounted for At times attempts have been made to connect these sounds with the presence of our fleet of the shore, engaged in target practic. Undoubtedly this explanation in some cases Is correct But how may We explain the fact Of these sounds coming from the north at a time when our fleet has been maneuvering south of the cape? And how in this present in stance are we to explain these sounds com
 ing from the northeast at time when according to the same reports, the wind was blowing from southerly direction! These things point to a theory that there are some laws governing sound waves and atmospheric conditions which are not only unknown, but perhaps not even suspected. It is only of recent years that some of these hitherto unknown laws have been revealed in the discovery of the possibility of send ing messages great distances without the use of wires Thus far have the laws which govern sound waves and atmospheric condl- tions been revealed to us. Some day, per haps, we may hear that the sound of can nonading on the European battlefields has actually been carried through thousands of miles of air currents and reproduced to the ears of the coast guardsmen on Cape Cod Boston Transcript

SEATTLE LIKES WHALE
Steward Gateway)

Seattle consumed ton of whale meat g. its dinner tables Thursday, May 10, and cried for more. If whale steaks are to be the wartime substitute for the more ex- pensive meats, the whalers will have to get busy. Two markets sold out the total whale supply by early afternoon, and other markets, unsupplied with the cetaceous mammal, were bombarded with demands Whale meat sold at 10 cents pound, with no fat. bone or gristle, and, being just as nutritious as beef, and of most palat- able flavor, it promises to remain popu, lar staple food. The American Pacific Whal- ing Company, operating out of Grays Har- bor supplied the meat.

LOSES VALUABLE HORSE

Al Chapin had the misfortune to lose 8 heavy draft horse by death on Tuesday evening last. The animal suffered for sev eral days before succumbing to lockjaw, a disease which is said to be very rare among animals. The horse had been running loose for some weeks, and may have eaten some poisonous substance; but the general i'm pression is that the disease was due to an injury, probably from rusty nail.
