Where were the school children of Seward born? In Alaska, 34; Wash ington, If; California, g.; Oregon, 2; Pennsylvania, 2; and one pupil in each of the following: Colorado. Wy oming, Utah. Oklahoma. Idaho, Japan. Could the 34 have been more fortu- nate? We'll say not.
 Baseballs and bats are much as evi- dence. and New England is still hIan- keted with snow. Outdoor basketball and volley ball will soon begin. A committee of boys has been appoint ed to get the equipment in shape.
 Now that the fortune teller has gone we are again getting back to normalcy. The Van Glider was a mecca for the time he was in town. But the high school pupils showed up the would-be wielder of mystic powers. Ask Will lis Perry to show you the complete notes of his skilfully planned visit to the modern medicine man as taken down in shorthand by Willis secre- tary. We claim that he'd better play it safe and deal with the future rath- CT than the past of people. Next bluff fer step up, please.
 At the usual assembly Friday morn ing the pupils enjoyed the take-of on phrenology and palm reading as plan ned by the high school pupils. Willis Perry played the part of the mystic seer with full equipment of crystal. incense burner, black robe, dark gog- gles and even Mr. Jones black cat. And what he didn't tell 'em of their past didn't exist. The large number of gaping mouths changed into laughing ones when the bluff was exposed after the "doings."
 Miss Stella Fuller gave another Of her series of first-aid lectures on Fri day afternoon. The pupils are indeed fortunate to learn first-aid work from one who knows the field so thoroughly and demonstrates so clearly.
 ] The class in Vacations, whom Mir H. E. Wilson addressed recently on the fundamentals of banking, were conducted through the local bank at the usual class hour, Friday after noon. Mir Wilson and his assistant Miss Inez Waugh, courteously explain ed the functions of the various de partments. Incidentally the class saw more money than they have had the pleasure of seeing for many a moon.
 And we're all ready for the begin ming of new week. Only eight more to go. The first thing on the program is a wiener roast on the peach at the noon hour, Tuesday. Don't forget to tell the folks that you won't be home to luncheon.

but from the age Of forty onward
there apparently are no such penal
ties and this condition, in fact, be-
comes Ii distinct advantage, for these
are the persons who have the best
mortality rates.
at would seem that the records of
insurance companies indicate that
there is an Optimum weight-that is,
weight-height ratio in relation to
age that is associated with the most
favorable mortality experience, and
that this optimum weight. or best
build, is not the average build says
the service. 1T is stated that those
who weigh between 10 and 20 per cent
below the average show the optimum
condition for longevity at most ages
beyond early adult life.
Discrimination must be made be-
tween types of build of overweight
persons, it being shown that among
overweights having a large chest ca
pacity the conditions of mortality are
more favorable than among those of
small chest capacity. Overweights
who have large trunks are better risks
than those having small chests and
large abdominal girth."

manv respects from the kind seen in

Unlike the Indian elephants which
wander peacefully in the lobby of the
New York Hippodrome, the African
elephant is vicious killer, a bad
tempered beast that defies captivity.
One of, the most amazing scenes of
wild animal life ever filmed is the
stampede of these huge monsters in

crashing down bushes and bringing
down trees, in their pursuit of Mrs
