Cripples Flee When Boa In.

New York.-This is a snake story
to keep one u nights-and sober. 1t
was brought into New York by Allan
A. Lonnberg, president of the Grace
line
The Grace line Seuta Rita, on which
Lonnberg was a Messenger from Val
paraiso, Chile, puts in on July Z nj
the port of GuayaQuil, Ecuador. Mr.
Lonnberg went ashore.
Shortly before midnight he heard a
tremendous clamor in the town. Police
were called out, the militia thronged
down the narrow streets, fire engines
changed over the cobbles.
Mr.. Lonnberg followed the process
Sion TO the edge of town. where the
Jungle begins and where is located
the Clvu hospital.
A ten-foot boa constructor had glded
out Of the underground and made its
entrance into the hospital through a
window. Gliding down corridor after
corridor, It made its way to the Grip
pies ward. Night lights were burning.
Some one screamed.
Then, all at once, there was panic
and shrielSs of fright and hysteiia
The snake had attacked n male nurse.
The cripples, many Of them bedfnst
for months, leaped from their beds
and fled on newly vitallEed limbs to
the windows.
One man who had been parolyzed
for more than two years Jumped six
feet, from his bed TO a window and
another eight feet to the hospitals

Doctors examining him later, be-
lleved him cured. His had been a

SIX MEN SEEK TRIP
To MOON BY ROCKET
Volunteers Admit Chance
of Return Is Small.

Paris,-Slx men hav, asked for the
privilege of riding in the rocket which
may oe shot into the sky for a visit
to the moon within the next year.
Professor Oberth, creator of the plan
for the rocket, has personally received
three applications and Robert Esnault.
Peletier, the astronomer, has received
the others. Both admit that the posi-
bility of safe return is exceedingly
small.
The first danger lies in the rocket S
going awry before it clears the earth F;
the result III that case would be n
crash and certain death. The second
is the possibility of striking the moon
or some other hard, Opaque body in
the heavens. The. third Is in descend
ing, in which case Professor Oberth
has pointed out that the projectile is
sure to be either dented or destroyed
in stirling the cushion of atmosphere
which envelopes the earth. Finally,
there is the question of air, although
an American astronomer has devised
scheme for supplying oxygen TO the
passenger.

A solution of this problem has TO

A. F. HOLLOWAY WILL
 LEAVE FOR SOUTH

A. F. Halloway, Alaska Weekly representative who has been "dolng Juneau for two weeks, will sail to- night on the Northwestern. He will remain at Ketchikan for canvass of that town and then proceed to Seattle. He had covered Westward and Interior points before coming to Juneau, and has met with satis- factory success at Juneau and wherever he has been.
 MT. Halloway, who first visited Juneau in 1898, resided in various Alaska districts and Dawson in earlier days, and is member Of the Pioneers of Alaska. He found conditions in Alaska fairly good everywhere, and says he is parti- cularly impressed with the apparent stability and progress of Juneau where they are building modern city.
 T appreciate the courteous treat ment I have received at Juneau and elsewhere in Alaska" declared MT. Holloway. "The pioneer spirit continues he said, and I hope to come to Juneau and meet her citizens again."
