JUNEAU HIGH
 SCHOOL NOTES
(By Dorothy Troy)

There is only month until the production of the Senior play, "All of a Sudden Peggy" and the mem bers of the cast are seen everywhere with their manuscript in their hands, busily memorizing the second act.
 The finel "exams" are scheduled for May II, 15, and 16. the next to the last week of school. The class marks of the last week. however will be included in the final average of the years work.
 The members of the sixth grade, under the direction of Miss Parks, are cutting pictures from magazines to illustrate original stories which they have written.
 The material for the Totem" has been sent to the Press and it is hop ed that the cuts will arrive in time to get the book out by the first week of May. The members of the staff feel amply repaid for their untiring efforts as it is an unusually well gotten up annual and will set a new standard for coming years.
 The report cards and the general conduct cards were issued to the pupils the first part of last week There was great interest taken in the conduct cards, averages of "Very Good" in attitude, and Good" in the various other traits of character are necessary in order that the pu pill may be exempt from the final examinations. The teachers may be surprised at the great improvement shown in the conduct of some of the pupils, however the reason is not hard to find if one remembers the love the average student has for ex- aminations of any sort.
 Invitations have been issued for the Junior Prom, which will be giv. en in Elks' Hall next Friday evening This is the really big social event of the High School year, and an eff fort is being spared by those in charge of the arrangements to make it a success

 The Sophomore English class has arranged a series of debates. The teams have been chosen and the dc
 bates promise to be very interest ing.
 The uniforms for the Military Drill class have arrived and the school has had quite the aspect of mill tary academy since the boys have been wearing them.

RATIO MAKES FOR HARMONY
Peculiar Arrangement of Chinese Must
cal instruments Said to Be Work
of Chinese Emperor.

The characteristic musical instru.
ment of the Chinese is a series of bam-
boo tubes, the longest of which meas
ures about nine inches, and of which
the remainder diminish in length at
regular ratio, each being just two
thirds the length of the one before.
This arrangement was devised by the
Chinese-they say, by the Emperor
Huang-Ti-On the following principle:
Between heaven and earth there is per-
feet harmony. Now, the number three
is the emblem of heaven and two of
earth. If then two pipes or tubes be
made in the proportion Of three to
two, they will harmonic in tone as
perfectly as earth and heaven. So the
base tube of the instrument was made
nine inches long and the second two
thirds that length, or six inches. OF
course, the third has to be two-thirds
the length Of the second, or four
inches; and SO on. The result was
that the note of the second tube was
what we call an interval Of fifth
above that of the first, that OF the third
a fifth above the second, and so on
through the whole range.

Money Made Selling Sumac.

Sumac, which grows abundantly in
certain sections Of the United States
may be gathered and sold profitably
to tanners and dye manufacturers
say the specialists of the bureau OF
chemistry, United States department
of agriculture. The price of sumac
has increased in recent years because
Of the decrease in importations Of this
plant from Sicily. The American
sumac, if properly gathered and cured
is equal to the imported article.
In certain sections of Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia
good wages can be made, the depart
ment says, by gathering and selling
sumac during July, August and Sep
TENDER. Arrangements for the sale OF
the sumac should be made before it is
gathered.

EAGER \ TO SEE ELEPHANT
First One That Was Brought TO tho
United States Aroused the Ut
sy1os$ Curiosity.

Nowadays. when summer in the
United States would hardly seem itself
without the ceaning Of circus, 1t Is,
difficult to realize the excitement
aroused by the first exhibition Of an
elephant. A now-forgotten Snowman,
Hackaliah Bailey, is said to have i'm
ported the first elephant nearly a hun
dred years ago, and the animal was
q whole show in himself. The circus
tent had not yet come into being, and
the elephant was shown in barns in
the Eastern states that then held the
bulk Of the population. To prevent the
public from seeing the show without
charge, the elephant Travelled from
place to place in the night; but even
SO, the public refused to be wholly cir
cumvented, and small companies gath
cred with bonfires ready to light when
the strange creature came numbering
past on his way to the next town.
Sometimes, however. the management
defeated this intention by sending
along, the road a horse built up to look
like an elephant In the dark, and when
the bonfire had been lighted and had
burned out, thelreal elephant followed.
