Bundle of Mail with Thane Postoffice Marked Is Picked up on Rock
 in Channel.
CONTENTS ARE SOAKED
Some of the Letters Con- tained Money Orders from the Thane
 POStOffice.

DOUGLAS, Jan. According to story circulated here late yester- lay an Indian called during the af- ernoon on Rev. Father O'Malley with package of mail matter-letters stamped at the Thane postoffice which were said to have been found 1n a rock on the shore of Gastineau 5hannei but just what part of the Channel was not learned
 There is no doubt as to the correct less of the Indians story as the nail found by him was wet from contact with the water and the let ITS, the "sticllum" having been soft med by the water, were open.
 One of the letters contained ex- ,hange for $150, purchased at a Juneau bank and directed to his wife 1t Victoria, R. C., the letter having leen written by man named Rus ell, first name not learned.
 One of the letters also contained postoffice money order, said to nave been issued by the Thane of ice. All the letters were stamped l few days before Christmas and had evidently been intended for deliv- cry by Christmas. It is known that
 here is man at phane named Alex Russell and that his wife is in Vic
 oria. so he is probably the party vho wrote the letter and enclosed
 he check.
 The Indian who found the mail caring that he might he suspected If stealing it. hastened to Father O'Malley with an explanation ot
 where he had found it. The Father ook possession of it and at once sndeayored to get in touch with the postmaster at Thane. but with what | iuccess is not known.
 From the finding of stamped mai ,n the beach. one of two things i! suggested; First. that it was stolei rom the postoffice after being mad' Ip and ready for dispatching. Sec ond. that it was lost from a boa md the sack containing it found an' | footed, the letters containing tn :heck and money order being throw l way. as to attempt to realize ol
 their contents would be dangerous

Uniform standards of physical ex-
aminations governing entrance into all
branches Of the regular army, the ma
tional army and the National Guard
have been adopted by the war depart
ment and will be observed by the army
medical department and the local and
medical advisory boards under the Sc
lective service regulations.
&. Observance Of the new rules and
regulations by the local boards will
result, 1t is believed, in uniform ex-
afninations in all parts of the country
and should prevent men physically dis
qualified for military service from be-
Ing sent out to camps. The new stand
ards also will enable local physicians
to make examinations with q better
understanding of the needs Of the
army and will clear any misconcep-
lions :. and misunderstanding that
might result, in the sending to camps
Of men who had been rejected.
Heretofore the physical standards
Of the: three armies have differed and
instances have been noted where men
who have been rejected for service by
the recruiting officers of the regular
army have been accepted for military
service by draft board physicians. On.
der the new uniform standards this
Will not be possible unless the disquali-
flying defect has been removed. The
rule for all. three armies Is that to
make q good soldier a man must be
able to see well, have comparatively
good hearing, his heart must be able
to stand the stress of physical exer-
: ton, he must be Intelligent enough to
understand and execute military ma
heuvers, obey commands, protect him.
self, and must be able to transport
: himself by walking as the exigencies
Of military life may demand.
Exceptions from the new standard
rules are made In the case Of men Sc
r. The experience Of the past year has
enabled the medical authorities to es-
tablish these new standards Of exam
nations which will relieve the local
boards Of doubt as to decisions In un-
usual cases. Enough such cases have
