The Now and the Then.

The more intellectual we become, the
wider the range of our vision the more
we discover to ourselves our limitations.
The scientist is the humbleSt of men,
because he comes to realize that he is
dealing with things that are on the
periphery of life, and that beyond lies
the vast, unfathomed sea of infinite
knowledge. The telescope gives to the
trained eye of the astronomer a Won
derful sweep of vision. but 1t also makes
him feel the inadequacy of his instru-
ments and the limitations of his powers
of penetration. Worlds beyond worlds,
reaching away into infinite spaces, this
he knows from what his eye really sees
Edison, In his laboratory, persists, even
in spite Of his 80 years, in the hope
that he may reveal to his practiced
eye new wonders, greater than those
he has hitherto found Prof. Pupin
tells us in his New Reformation" that
all his Investigations have revealed to
him the indescribably beautiful gar
mentS of divinity, every new and labo-
riouS search has but disclosed to him
fresh and clearer visions of God whose
care for creation Is infinite and particu-
lar. Little wonder is it that he says,
Science has made me a better Chris
tian." The most learned are ever the
most simple and humble, for their
knowledge but reveals to them their
simple limitations
Rightly conceived, life is an unfolding
Of Gods plan apd purpose concerning
ms. More and more 1t becomes clearer
that we are put here to work out our
own salvation. We achieve this saliva
ton only in so far as we come to under
stand Gods relation to us and our rela-
ton to Him.
The whole purpose of the ministry of
Jesus was to unfold TO the conscious
ness Of man realizing sense of the
eternal Father. He sought to interpret
Him in terms that came within mans
ken He tried to make Him SO real that
the mind of child could comprehend
Him. Centuries before, the voice Of one
had cried out. "Canst thou by search
ing find out God?" but not until Christ
s.aT ne tn reveal Him a c an ptprnal Father

This and That

II there is any one thing that Jack
Spratt, the cat, deteSts, 1t Is the odor
Of perfume.
Fragrant smells liked by human
beings give Spratt decided pain.
WEIGHING his sensitive noStrilS, he
will back away from the most delicate
odeur, as The French say.
Once he innocently took a good
Whit at an open bottle of ammonia,
only to jump back preeipitately when
the fumes struck deep.
After this experience his aversion to
scents Of all kinds seemed to increase
/ Aromas which his human friends re-
garded as exceedingly mild were looked
upon by Spratt with extreme disfavor.
II a jar of cold cream or similar
substance were put down In front of
him. he would back away as II it
held the most disagreeable thing In
the world.
1t was difficult, of course. for his
friends TO realize that such a smell
was diSagreeahle in the cat world
which Is entirely unlike the human
world
What strikes cats olfactory or
ganS as pleasing often would make
little or no appeal to a two-legged
being.
Even the bouquet of fiavory peach
or glass of grapeluice. makes no hit
with Jack Spratt
AS for such decided things as moth
balls, they are ranked by him as ter
ribly offensive
Yet Jack, like all cats, is a con-
trNry creature.
One can never be too sure what he
will like or not like. He is like many
human beings, who, II something is
forced upon them, will not like IL, but

time that the bags were extremely

$. 5. ALAMEDA BRINGS
 DISABLED STARR TO
 PORT FROM WEST WARD

With the disabled Steamer Starr alongside, the S. s. Alameda, of the A. s. s. Co.,, arrived in port at 8 o'clock this morning from Dark Island, after battling the terrific storm which swept over this dis trict for the past five days. After arriving in Resuerrection Bay Cap tain Westerlund, of the s. s. Ala meda, let go the toW-line then go- ing alongside of the Starr bring ing both vessels up to the dock to- gether. The MotorShip Discoverer later lowed the Starr down to the San Juan dock.
 For awhile yesterday, when the tow-line parted, Captain Wester- lund feared for the safety of the Starr as an 80-mile gale was blow ing; a portion of the wireless aer- ial was torn away by the velocity of the wind. It is said that ii any thing had happened to the Ala meda the Starr would have been lost as there were no other craft of any kind near the nearest cutter, the Unalga, being still tied up at Juneau, or near there, fully two days away. The Unalga had been asked to come to the Starr and Alamedas assistance the morning the Starr first sent out it's sos. It is' understood that a freighter { is being sent from Seattle to take the Starr in tow back to Seattle, where, just month ago, it had un- dergone it's semi-annual overhaul ing and inspection.
 The Steamer Alameda, accord ing to the local office, will depart about o'clock this afternoon for the South calling in at those ports missed when it steamed to the aS- sistance of the Starr, just after en- | tering the gulf.

B0RAH SPEAKS
ON WATERWAY
Idaho Senator Pictures Hoover
as Champion and Friend
ii. Of Farmer

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 2.-(R-
Development of the Great Lakes-St.
Lawrence waterway, favored By
Herbert Hoover, is one of the most
important propositions before the
agricultural northwest, in the opin-
ion of Senator William E. Borah of
Idaho.
Senator Borah, in an address at
the municipal auditorium here last
night, pictured Mr.. Hoover, the Re-
publican presidential candidate, as
champion Of the farmer, and he
stressed the value of the proposed
waterway to the farmer.
HOover's work as food admins
traitor during the war was praised
by the Idaho senator, who said that
any statement that he was not then
working in the interests of the farm
ers was "gross libel"
Senator Borah criticized Governor
Alfred E. Smith, presidential can
didate for his references to Hoover
and the oil scandals in a recent
speech at Helena, Mont. To attack
Mr.. Hoover for acts Of fellow cab
met member was no more justified
than to blame Mr.. Smith for the
millions grated by Tammany
Hail." said Senator Borah.
Mr.. Hoover is definitely opposed
to repeal Of the prohibition act,
which, Mr.. Borah charged, Tammany
Hall, rather than the Democratic
party, wanted "nullified."
