FISHING A MECHANICAL ART
Outfit Consists of Net, Rope and Pull iey-AIi Operator Need Do is
 to Turn Crank.

Most operations nowadays can he performed by machinery. Time was when the best sport In angling was obtained by the use of rope. with patience at one end and suitable bnit at the other. The Wide World Magazine gives n revised edition of this plan. Here 1t Is in all it's sim plicity:
 You hang an immense fOur-cOrner- pd net on rope which passes over pulley turn q handle and drop the net into the sen. After a time. which may vary according to the mood yon are in and the quality of the tOhacc" you are smoking. you wind up the net and look into it. If it is empty. you let the handle go a few turns. and drop the net into the sea again; If 1t contains any fish you draw It and bag them. In this way you reduce fishing to a mechanical art. When you haul up this huge net from the briny deep and find by the aid of telescope that it contains one tiny, solitary fish as was our case-after many unsuc- cessful casts" you rejoice with Joy unspeukable and call in you" neigh bOrs to the feast.

SETTING OUT THE SLAckERS
Hospital Assistant, Threatening te
 Cook Alive One Patient to Obtain orease, Reduces Sick Call.

Stories of how to outwit impOstors who report sick in order to loaf h hos pitals are among the oldest traditions of the medical branches of all aIries. says writer in a medical Journal. A .fourteenfh-century collection of anec- .dotes shows that the malignerer was known in those days and Cardinal de Bari. who had g hospital at verceil. found It's resources were being ex- hausted by men of this type. He sent one of his spbordInates to investigate. This man, Petrillo by name. who was something of . humorist. dressed him self in the robes of . physician and assembled all the patients for an ex- amination of their wounds. Then he gravely said: .:There Is clearly but one remedy needed for the cure of ulcers of this character. and that is an ointment made of human grease. This very day I intend. in cOpsequence. to draw by lot one from among you. who will be plunged alive into boiling wa ter and cooked for the salvation of all" Seized by fear. all the patients made haste to report themselves fully recovered from their ulcers. and con seQuently there was room in the hos pitai for those who really needed care.
 Physicians today. by the use of sim liar ruses. have discovered many "hos- pital slackers."

The kino's Beard.

An interesting story is told In con necti0n with the Swedish actor. Fer rasi. who was called upon to take the part of Oscar I in play under that name at Stockholm. Sweden. The ac- tor was ordered by the director Of the opera to make up with full beard. but during one of the intermissi0 IS he hunted up the director and told him that Oscar I never wore such beard. "What kind of beard did he have. then?"
 To lhis Ferrasi replied, 'MuStuche and goatee. like Napoleon TIL"
 "How do you know that?'
 The conclusive reply was offered. "From my postage-stamp collection"
 The change was made and at the second performance the public noticed with astOnishlnent how King Oscar had altered the cut of his beard. To stamp collectors 1t is hardly necessary to point out that MT. Ferrasi secured his informant tiOn by looking up the issue of Norway 1S56-7.-Christian Science Monitor.

RIGGS LIKELY BE
 GOVERNOR SAYS MARSHAL.

"As things look now. and according to general opinion along the coast. Thomas Riggs, Jr., will be the next goveror of Alaska" said Marshal l.. T. Erwin today upon his return to Fairbanks. He has been in the states and along the coast of Alaska and has reached his conclusions after dis cussing the matter fully with men who are in a position to be well i'm formed as to the situation.
 Regarding the surveyor-general- ship, for which the candidates are Charles F.. Davidson. the incumbent and R. J. Sommers, of Fairbanks. the marshay says that the outcome of this race will probably depend upon the outcome of the gubernatorial fight. If Governor Strong is reap ponted, MT. Davidson has good chance. but if the governor is not named again, it is doubtful if he will be in the race This seems to be the opinion of territorial and federal of fcials throughout the territory.
 John w. Troy, editor of the Ju- neau Empire. is now in Washington. and it is reported that while there he will do what he can to boost the candidacy of Mir. Riggs. While in se- attle, MT. Riggs refused to talk poli- tics, saying he was busy building rail roads, but his friends are not inactive in his interest. .'-Fairbanks Elk.
