"Night message?" asked Cherry
PLEASANTLY. as she drew her pencil

Walt resented her air of aloofness
and lack Of curiosity. He hauled out
a pgskin wallet and extracted a vel

"Send II now and get it there this

Ouiia SuppIanted PIanchette.

The planchette was a thin, heart.
shaped piece of wood supported on
two casters at the end of the base, and
on an ordinary pencil at the apex
popular about 1860 to 1880, before the
ouija board supplanted it. The pen
Gil could readily be made to trace
characters without conscious move
ment on the part of the operator. If
the fingertips were placed upon this
device.
Like the ouija board, the planchette
was used by two classes of persons.
1t was used by the believers in spirit
ualism. who asked questions of spir-
itual control. and believed that they
received answers from the intelli-
gences on the spirit plane, and by
people who regarded the mechanism
as a game, and amused themselves by
pushing it to write messages for the
benefit Of others present.

Story Goes That the Empress Helena
Was Responsible for Its Recov.
cry From the Jews.

Through the zeal Of the Empress
Helena. mother of Constantine the
Great, was discovered the cross on
which the Savior was crucified, anu
the date Is given as May 8. Inc
story usually told is to the effect thar
the empress went to Jerusalem and
there compelled the Jews to bring th'
cross from its concealment and give II
to her, together with other crosses IN
their possession. Its identity was es-
tablished by a miracle: The body OF
dead man was placed on each OF the
crosses, and when it touched the true
one the dead man Immediately came
to life. Many pilgrims travelling to
Jerusalem received pieces of the true
cross, and the question was raised as
to the possibility of supplying thou
sands with those fragments without
entirely carrying away the cross. II
was therefore said that the true cross
had the power of reproducing itself.
On the capture Of Jerusalem In 6l4.
the cross we are told. was carried into
Persia, where it remained until re-
stored by Heraclius, which event is
commemorated in September and Is
usually called Holyrood day. The four
nails were distributed so that two
were placed in the imperial crown,
one brought to France, and another
thrown into the Adriatic to quiet its
turbulence.

Old and New Books.

There is no sillier affectation than
that Of old worIdiSm. To rave about
Sir Robert Browne and know nothing
of William Cobbett is foolish. To
turn your back upon your own time
is simply to provoke living wags. with
rudimentary but effective humor, to
chalk opprobrious epithets upon your
psrson. But, on the other hand, to
depend upon your contemporaries for
literary sustenance, to be reduced to
scan the lists Of Forthcoming Works"
with q hungry eye, to complain OF
dearth Of new poems, and new novels,
and new sermons, is worse than affec-
tation-it Is stupidity.-Augustine

OIL AND COAL WORK
 IN KATALLA FIELD
 IS PUSHED RAPIDLY
One We'll To Be Carried to 5000 Foot Level-50 Men Doing
 Coal Development Work

Oil drilling in the katalla field was resumed yesterday when two eX- pert drillmen recently brought north from California arrived on the ground, according to a statement made by George c. Hazlet, who stopped off a few hours in Juneau enroute to the South on the North western. Work will continue all summer
 The drilling is being done on Claim No. 1 on the patented area owned by Mr. Hazelet and his asso7 ciates. The we'll is already down to the 1900 foot level. Only one string of tools will be run this sea son and it is planned to carry the points to the 5000 foot level unless a producer is brought in at a lesser depth.
 Continues Coal Development
 Coal development, according to Mr Hazlet, is being continued in the Bering River coal fields. A crew of 50 men are engaged ill this work and will continue operations until the worth of the field has been definitely ascertained. Sufficient work has net been done to make any accurate statement as to the prob able success.
 The railroad construction project into that district is being held in abeyance pending the result of the coal development work.

DR. COROTHERS IS
 GIVEN PERMIT TO
 PRACTICE AT KAKE

Dr. II. C. DeVighne Secretary of the Alaska Board of Medical Ex- aminers. said today he would like to correct a misunderstanding in re- gards to the position taken by the Board in the case of pr. W. C. Cor others of Petersburg who was re- cently in the city seeking to secure a temporary permit to practice medi- cine in Alaska
 Dr. DeVighne said it is the pol icy of the Board to issue a temporary permit to one physician in each town pending the meetings of the Board when examinations are held for a regular license. This is done SO as not to work a hardship on any community by letting them be- ing without a doctor.
 Recently Dr. E. o. Rowley locat- ed in Petersburg accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Gladys Rowley, who is also a physician. A temporary permit was issued to Dr. F. o. Row ley and not to his wife as has been stated.
 When Dr. Corothers arrived in Petersburg and asked for a tempor ary permit it was denied to him as there was one permit there already.
 Dr. Corothers came to Juneau and after consultation with pr. l.. o. Sloane, President of the Board, and Dr. H. c. DeVighne, permit was granted to him to practice medi cine at Rake, where there is no other physician. Dr. Corothers left Juneau Sunday after having been here for several days intending to locate at Rake.
