| i7. !. lg.7 | SEES FIRST AUTOMOBILE
 AND FLAPPER SEWARD.
 WESTWARD 2s YEARS
Truth is stranger than fiction.

Truth is stranger than lctlOn. There arrived in Seward the past week man who saw his first auto mobile when he disembarked from the s. s. Starr from the Westward. eInncidently he took his first glimpse of flapper
 Frank Osborn is the man and ap parently he is stepping from the fry ing pan into the fire for he departed flor the States on the steamer Alaska where he will remain throughout the coming winter, returning north next spring and back to his home, Heren deen bay. Undaunted by his unfam- liliarity with autos he proposes to purchase one in Seattle and motor through to California
 "Of course" he said, 'if there is a possible chance to pick up a congen- ial partner, especially one who knows ! how to drive, it will be so much nicer" But MT. Osborn did not state exactly what he meant when he said congenial partner However, he left the impression that this part ner may wear skirts and that upon his return in the spring he will be accompanied by bride.
 Feeling that MT. Osborn should see the sights properly upon his arrival in Seattle, The Gateway has taken the liberty to notify the Associated Press of his visit. So in the very lnear future it is expected many ad- ditional stories will be read about MT. Osborn aside from what has been written locally.
 For Is years he lived on the Pacif- ic side of the peninsula and for the Hast 14 years his home has been on the Boring sea side, Herendeen bay lit was in 1898 when he first saw Kotzebue Sound This was from the decks of a halibut schooner; for he has practically followed the sea for 45 years. In 1899 he made his last trip Outside, returning the following spring, in 1900. He was in San Francisco al that time and says that perhaps the local automobile was not the first that he had seen, for the morning that he left San Francisco his attention was attracted by a terrific noise in the street and upon looking out of his hotel window he saw what appeared to be wagon moving down the street under motor power.
 Ten years ago he decided it was about time to make trip Outside but stopped to work a season fer the Fidalgo Island Packing company plant in the bay. He has been there ever since.
 Now that he is going out he wants
 to see all there is to be seen and
 unless he becomes tired of traveling
 will remain on the coast all winter IOtherwise he may take the trip back
 to Illinois, the State in which he first
 saw the light of day.

with the splendid tnassed effects,

the voices. They sing entirely with.

Quality of tone, even with
chorus OF eight parts, is significant.
1t means beautiful singing. 1t means
understanding OF the mood Of the

their voices to a soft tenderness, or
an exalted whisper, that adds a
