Something TO
Think Ab0nf
MOUSE
By r. Il. WALKER

INA SOMEWHAT aimless after-din-
j per walk the other evening l was
attracted TO a crowd which had gatn-
cred in front of the window OF a DEAL
er In house pets.
As the crowd next to the window
satisfied it's curiosity and moved ON
gradually came to see that nfteen OF
twenty human beings of which l was
about to become one, had been watch
ing the activities of a small white
mouse which was the temporary resi-
dent of new and shiny cage.
At the top Of the cage was sort OF
nest attached to the wires and nlleo
with bits of cotton. Below in the moor
OF the cage was feeding box ana In
front of that fiat tin disk, some SIX
inches In diameter, so tilted upon
pivot axle that IL you placed any
weight upon any part Of it that part
which bore the weight would immedi-
ately turn so that 1t would be the low
est part Of the disk. In other words,
If living object attempted to climb
mn the disk it would turn as fast as
the object assembled and the object It
self would always be travelling uphill
and getting nowhere.
The white mouse pursued program
about after this plan: He would rest
for few minutes in his nest. Then
he would climb down the side of the
cage to the food box, inibble for min
ute and then running around to the
front Of the door Of the cage he would
Jump down upon the disk and as ne
did 80 the disk would begin to revolve
The faster he ran, In his attempt t.
climb, the faster the disk would re
Tolve, with the mouse always at thu
bottom.
For three or four minutes at a tim
the mouse would run as fast as n
could. A human being running a
fast as that mouse, In proportion Z
his size and weight, would have gon
ten or twelve miles at marvelou
rate Of speed.
After his period of running tn
mouse would suddenly stop. the dis
would cease to revolye, he would go t
fhe feed box. nibble for q minute an
then climb to his nest for short res
only to- repeat the whole performance
oyer@again.
The mouse during the time that I
was running appeared to be putin
forth every physical effort OF whic
he was possessed. He was doir
everything that he could SO far !
running was concerned. BUT a
WAS GETTING NOWHERE.
He landed right where he began
the bottom of the disk.
He had burned out his mon
energy, exhausted HIS mouse condltl'
and the result was NOTHING.
wondered as stood there nc
many OF the men and women who n
stopped to watch him had learned a.
lesson from that Gagged mouse and !
,fruitless endeavors.
/ wondered how many OF them We

struggling, exhausting themselves "

PANAMA HAS ACCIDENT ON
 VOYAGE TO FORT CIBBON

The steamer Panama, which ar rived in port yesterday morning from Fort Gibbon, where connec- tion was made with a steamer from the Upper Yukon, narrowly missed being wrecked on the voyage down river and will be laid up for a week or more undergoing repairs. The steamer had two heavy cold storage barges in tow and was mak- ing good time down the river, when the nose of one of the barges hit a bar and backed into the steamer with such force that large part of the forward planking on the starboard side of the hull was torn away, together with part of the house. Luckily the hole was just above the water line and the Tanana was able to make temporary repairs to enable her to get back up the river.
 The Panama returned to Nenana with some over-the-lake perishables and with shipments of supplies which were frozen in at Gibbon last fall.
 The Panama left for Fairbanks last night, with one barge in tow.
