be visible to the election board while
the voter is in the booth. The origi-
nal idea was to prevent two voters
from being in one booth at the same
time But now that the women of
Indiana are going. to vote the law is
causing considerable adverse COM
ment among the fair sex of voting
age. Unless the law is repealed

cations from outsiders asking

TREE PUZZLE TO F0RESTERS
Caused Speculation Among Men
Learned In That Lore.

A cross section Of great old spruce
tree from Alaska tells the story of a
tree which executed a spin, like bal
let dancer. This cross section shows
a most peculiar spiral structure, which
has caused a great deal OF speculation
among the various foresters through
out the country and a very interesting
explanation is advanced in American
Forestry.
1t is known that a tree growing at
slant forms on the lower side of the
trunk a dense reddish wood known as
''rotholz." This spiral in this case is
of such sort, and as it is continuous
formation. winding from the center 10
within half an inch from the circum-
ference, IL IS surmised that It was
growing in an inclined position on the
edge of a glacier. where by some
shifting II was caused TO rotate. so
that all sides OF the tree were success
sively on the downward side. Thus.
as the tree grew. and its rotation con-
tinued slowly. the "rotholz" developed
into spiral.

In the soil.
Neither men nor dogs had seen him.
and / at once determined to capture
him unaided by anyone and imagined
II would prove a very easy task.
Accordingly laid hold of his black
bone-cased tail with both hands and
began Juggling to ger him off the
ground. but couldn't move him. He
went on digging furiously. getting
deeper and deeper into the earth. and
! soon found that instead OF me pull
ing him out he was pulling me in af-
ter him.
II hurt my small boy pride TO think
that an animal,sno bigger than cat
was going to- beat me in a trial OF
strength. and this made me hold on
more tenaciously than ever and tug
and strain more violently. until not to
lose him ] had to go fat on the
ground. But II was all for nothing.

were carried down into the earth, and

STRIKE At SEATTLE
HAS BEEN SETTLED
MEN DECIDE TO RETURN TO JOBS
AFTER BEING OUT FOR BUT
FOUR DAYS.
Practically Paralyzed Industry While
Trouble Lasted, Business Being
Almost Completely Suspended,
Even Schools Closed.

Seattle.-The general sympathetic
strike of 10000 union employees Of
Seattle is at an end The men were
ordered TO return TO work at noon
Tuesday, February II, when the gen
eral strike committee at 1 o'clock on
Monday called off the sympathetic
strike designed TO help $4,000 striking
metal trade workers TO enforce a de-
mand for higher wages.
The strike practically paralyZed in
dustry at Seattle while it lasted. Bust
ness in every line was suspended, even
the schools being compelled TO close,
and the street cars were not running.
Newspapers, restaurants. barber shops,
in fact almost every business venture
in the city, were put out of business
for the time.
The strike lasted four days, soldiers
having been sent into Seattle the first
day of the strike to maintain order.
There was no rioting, and but few ar
rests as a result of the strike, which
while it lasted was one of the most
complete, in its efforts to tie up indus
try, ever inaugurated in the west.
The resolution by which the strike
was declared off contained a statement
advising all labor unions which re
turned to work Sunday or Monday to
go on strike again until Tuesday
noon, as a demonstration Of the solid
arity of labor, so that all would re-
turn to work together.
The general strike at Tacoma. called
in sympathy with the ship yard
workers strike ended Monday, when
union workers returned to work in all
places except the ship yards
United States soldiers prevented
pickets in Butte from stopping men
who wanted to work in the mines in
defiance of. the strike call of the 1.

Paris.-The week remaining OF

any similar period since his arrival in
