WILL KILL TROUT
 ID SAVE SALMON
Great Inroads Being Made on Fry by the ''DoHy Yarden''

Anchorage. Alaska, Sept. 19. - Under plan adopted by the United States bureau of fisheries, it is hoped to increase the salmon pack of the Cook Inlet section of Alaska from 100000 cases in recent sea sons to 5oO,OO0 within the next few years.
 According to William studdert, in charge of salmon protection. the depletion of salmon in southwest ern Alaska has been due as much to failure to conserve the spawning grounds as to everlasting. MT. Stud dert declared the greatest enemy to the salmon were Dolly Warden trout, which preyed on the eggs in the spawning grounds up streams and caught the salmon minnows before they, could swim to safety.
 "One trout" he said, captured In a stream while the salmon fry were travelling to the ocean re- vealed 70 odd fry in Its intestines. To stop these inroads we have de- cided to destroy the trout"
 Surveys are being made of every stream used by salmon to reach spawning grounds in the lakes. The streams are being cleared of ob- struction and made navigable for the salmon. The lakes will be seined and the trout transferred to lakes not used by salmon.

ILL LUCK LAID ID
 SPIRIT WORKINGS
Islanders Say MaCLaren Was Too Indifferent to Evil Ones

Tokio, Sept. 10. III fortune, which attended the attempt of A. Stuart MacLaren, British round- the-world aviator, and his com panions to fly across the remainder of the globe after leaving Japan, Is attributed by the natives of urup Island. one of the bleak Kuriles, to the airmans own indifference to evil spirits.
 When Major MacLaren's big yickers amphibian hoped off from Toshimoye, Yetorofu Island, one day in July, with Paramushiru ls- land, at the north of the kurile chain, as his goal, fogs and wind compelled him to land at Totokal bay, on the southwest coast Of Crup Island. The bay Is exposed, and when the wind rose Major Mac Laren flew his plane q short dis tance inland, alighting on a body of brackish water known as Totokan Bog. In so doing, according 10 the sparse population of Urup Island, he courted the malevolence of evil spirits.
 Totokan Bog is an ill-omened water. The natives say it is bot tomless, and that no man has ever entered its water and come out

alive. There is an evil female spirit, the natives believe, who makes a speciality of handsome men, and when such one comes to the bog he 'vanishes like smoke" and his body Is seen no more.
 Four years ago two sailors at- tempted to cross the bog by swim ming. They were seen to reach the middle of the lake, swimming strongly, and then together went down without a sound.
 Major MacLaren rested for four days on the shores of the bog, lIv- ing at an experimental fox farm maintained on the island by the Japanese department of agriculture and commerce. and then hopped off on a successful flight to Paramu- shiru.

ELECTRICITY USED
 ON SWEDISH FARMS
Every Other One Fully Equipped, Dun to Development of Water
 Power.

Stockholm. Sept. 19.-While the utilization of water power for every purpose has been developing rapidly in Sweden during the last two de- cades, there is a strong tendency at present to convert the turbine power into electric energy for further in dustrial use. Thus factories are be- ing built hundreds of miles away from the source of their power, and electric current is not only distribut- ed to all parts of Sweden but is. ex- ported to neighboring countries as well.
 There are now 2,100 large power plants in Sweden, of which about 50 percent furnish lights, heat and power for the country districts. Be- sides there are several hundred smaller plants using less than 10000 horsepower each. Forty percent of the Swedish farms now run their household, dairy, and agricultural machinery by electricity, and 50 percent of the houses in the country districts are lighted by electricity. This is believed to be a record for the world.

Dragon in North
Just as the whole sky now seems
to revolve about Polarls, in those
days It seemed to. revolve about
Thuban. The constellation Of the
dragon was then the polar constella-
ton and it turned about its center as
though pivoted at Thuban while all
the other consultations seemed to re-
volve about it.
For this reason the ancient Chin
csc called Thuban "Yu Choo," mean
ing the Right Hand Pivot"
The ancient Chaldeans called this
star THE Life Of Heaven" THE
Judge OF Heaven" and The Favor
able Judge"
The Great Pyramid Of Cheops at
Ghizeh was so built that from a
small chamber cut in the solid rock
below the pyramid. Thuban could be
viewed night and day through the
central passage Of the pyramid in the
days when Thubap was the pole star.
This passage is feet wide, 81
feet high and $50 feet long.
1t is not improbable that 1000
years before Moses led the children
of Israel out Of the land of Egypt,
the light of Thuban shone into the
eyes of the priest-astronomers of
Egypt as they gathered in this mys-
terious chamber below the base of
the Great Pyramid and gazed up
through the long central passage.
The star Eltanin was also regarded
with religious veneration by the an
cient Egyptians. They called this
star Isis after the chief Egyptian
goddess.
The ancient temple of Denderah
was built so that the light of this
star shone through the temple to the
altar. At the temple of Karnak, the
light of this star passed a row of
columns 1900 feet in length before
reaching the altar.
Many other temples were also sit
uated in the same way with regard
to this star.

lTT1 HERE is being published in
the magazine Worlds Work,
IL beginning with the July num-
Der. a series Of interesting articles
on criminal psychology and psyche
pathic laboratory work by Judge
Harry Olson and DIR. William Hick-
son Of Chicago. 1 should think it
would be Of benefit to the thinking
people OF this city. especially our
officials who have to deal with crime
and criminals, to read and study
these articles, which can be OBJ
tanned at the public library.
Briefly, these men claim that about
2 per cent of all persons are af-
flicted with emotional insanity (de-
mentia praecox). and some Of the
remedies proposed are:
l. Humanize our penology ny
abolishing our prisons, and in their
place provide guarded farm colonies
whore these degenerates may live a
civilized life safe from the tempta-
tons Of the world, and where they
cannot further modest society.
2. Commit the incurably insane
to these farms for life.
Facts Discovered
There are three things these men
have found to be facts through their
investigations;
1. Emotional insanity is nearly al
ways inherited.
2. Emotional insanity is incur
able.
8. Emotional insanity can be posi-
lively diagnosed and accurately
measured.
Helpless criminals are doomed to
go through senseless rounds of re-
form school. probation, Jail. prison.
freedom and more prison to the end
of their hopeless lives. This has al
ways been the history of criminal
practice, and will be until society
learns that habitual criminals are
the victims of their heredity and so
can not be helped by the present
absurd system of trying TO cure in
durable insanity by punishment"
stop Reproduction"
The evidence of hereditary mental
faint among criminals is overwhelm-
ing. and in order TO stop this they
should stop breeding of criminals by
segregation of males and females or
else sterilize males and females,
which will not cause the loss of any
normal function of sex except the
creation of offspring.
1t seems to me that our officials
did discuss the matter of having a
psychopathic laboratory here a year
or two ago and decided not to.
