DISASTROUS FIRE
MONDAY AFTERNOON

Monday afternoon about five
O'Clock fire broke out i'm the
Krause house, known as The
House of Seven Gables" in the
Petersen Addition, east of the ST.
Maries river, and burned it to the
ground. The building was a
cons siderable distance outside the
city limits ano no water was
available as there is not sufficient
hose i'm the city to reach from the
nearest hydrant.
The chemical cart was hurried
to the scene but was of no use
for the reason that the house
was built a gable at time with
no communication between the
81 merent parts and the fire could
not be reached until it had gained
such headway there was no pos
~ibility of saving the building.
For the same reason the bucket
brigade could do nothing and
their efforts were confined to get
ting out as much of the contents
as possible.
All of the furniture and goods
or the lower floor and that
ON the second floor except in the
section where the fire started was
saved although some of it was
damaged by the fire. The fire
IT, supposed to have started either
from some defect in the chimney
or from a spark from a stove or

The building was owned by ID

is necessary that a test case be

held up for lack of funds.
1t is also planned to try and
secure the aid of the United

A new worlds record for all breeds
for butterfat production in the seven
day division was established by the
purebred Holstein-Friesian COW, Segis

in seven consecutive days, and the
official test was conducted by super
visors from the New York State Agri-

Profitable Pebbles.

The flint pebble industry gives oc-
cupation to many women and children
along the French coast lying between
Havre and Dieppe. The pebbles col
lected in and near Havre are selected
for their spherical shape and are used
exclusively for pulverizing In certain
industries, particularly In the 1aanu-
facture Of cement and In copper mines,
being employed in the interior of large
cylinders. In the cement industry the
slow turning of the pebbles produces
a powder which becomes an ingredient
Of the cement, while in the copper in
dustry the metal is freed of all impuri-
ties by the grinding operation. The
same kind of pebbles Is used for crush
ing purposes in the manufacture of
paint. Another important use of flint
pebbles is in the manufacture of porce-
lain, the pebbles for this purpose be-
ing found between Fecamp and Calais.

Pioneers of Hawaii.

The early history of the Hawaiian
Islands Is entirely legendary and ira
dictionary. The earliest Inhabitants, &C.
cording to estimate, must have come
hither about 500 A. d. They voyaged
nOrthward in their canoes from the
island of Savaii, in the Samoan group,
which seems to have been the chief
center of dispersion Of the Polynesian
race, to which the Hawaiians belong
There is a great similarity in the
speech of all PolyDesians. To have
vOyaged this distance of over 1000
miles to their newly adopted home
through the unknown, uncharted and
sometimes tempestuous seas in their
small, open and exposed craft and
subsequently to have gone back and
fortls as their traditions indicate them
to have done, and, finally, to have trav-
eled from island to island in the Ha-
waifan group with no compass but the
stars overhead, certainly stamps them
as having been careful and resource
full navigators Of no mean ability

An invisible Clock.

A public clock which can be heard,
but not seen, Is one of London's Gu
riOus possessions. 1t is In the tower
Of ST. Mary Abbot's church, Kensing-
ton, and is the only public clock in
the immediate neighborhood. 1t chimes
the quarters and the hours, but com
mits itself no further. 1t has no dial
no hands, no outward and visible sign
Of any kind to show that it is a clock.
Fhis eccentricity, it is explained. Is
the result Of two causes-one aeSthet-
ic, the other financial. When the tow
er was built In 1879 a clock was sug-
gested as an afterthought, but the
architect protested that 1t would mean
the addition of fifteen feet to the tow
er and the ruin of its cherished proper
tons. A second point was that the
church, having but slender funds.
could not afford clock with d dial. A
compromise was arrived at by install
ing the works of Ginning clock In the
belfry without dial or hands.-Pear-

Massachusetts captain who way back
In the early years of the republic de-
termined to exhibit the fallacy Of the
Friday superstition. He contracted on
certain Friday for the building of
a ship, and 1t was arranged that the
keel Of this vessel was laid on Friday,
that she was launched on a Friday,
named Friday, commenced loading on
a Friday and hauled into the stream
on the same day Of the week. To add
to the possibilities of disaster, negro
cook named Friday was engaged, and,
thus fully freighted with the sinister
name, the Friday sailed on Friday,
bound to port in the West Indies.
From that day to this no tidings Of
the Ill fated craft have been received.

A Gigantic Monopoly.
That the managers of these gigantic

doing is amply demonstrated by re-
mark recently made by one of their
number in Chicago. He said. Give us

will have in their innocence starved

places where prosperous communities
formerly thrived, and the population
of the country will be divided between

prospect is not pleasant one to con-
template.
