CHECKING UNDESIRABLES.

There's sound thought in the proposed ordinance they considering down at Kechikan which would give tho authorities check transents, particularly those with prison police records. The First City if its orinance is approved would require all ex-con- victs and persons parole from sentence regis with the authorities within AS after landing be subject to being picked up for questioning and examination.
 With the influx of dubious characters such as the Alaska coast cities, especially Juneau and Kechikan, experienced last summer, it is timely now, before other starts to consider plan whereby a more accurate check up be made undesirables, It isn't necessarily ex-convcts and persons paroles for 1t is unfair to contend that who have served their punishment not entitled to anoth CT chance in Alaska any where else but more often it is the persons who may be fleeing the law Of the gentry who live by the rackets that the most undesirable in any community. More petty larceny came to the attention of Juneau authorities well other Alaska cities last than any time in history, and Investigation in most revealed the offenders to be with police records if not prison records.
 Perhaps the Ketchkan registration plan would point toward solution At any rate, it is step in the right direction and worthy serious consideration by law enforcement bodies throughout the Territory.

 While neutrality and non- intercourse in the mu- nitions export business remain a live issue, we may profitably clarify minds about the men who dea in guns.
 Sir Basil Zaharoff, of the worlds leading mu- ntions salesmen, described the other day by Charles M. Schwab "one of the finest most estm- able men I have ever known. Notwithstanding all the lbels and islanders spread concerning him, nothing is farther from his thoughts than to foment war
 MT Schwab himself who during the war was one of Americas chief merchants of death is recognized as an ethical amiable, highly beloved business man model husband and son.
 William P. Brown, the exporters agent who founc himself in the midst of the Sac Paulo revolution 1T Brazil chief purchasing agent for guns and air planes played his part very unwlingly and was SC mild that as he said "If some had said boo tC in those times, I'd have dropped dead, sure"
 But what have personalities got to do with it? How ever far from these men may be the thought of fo- menting however genial mild they may be, the fact remains that the batteships guns and arpanes actually kill people
 It is no recommendation of shrapnel that its maker delightful companion. The peril remains in the munitions business.

sTNDAY. MARCH 8, 1886.

Adverse aspects rule today, ac- cording to astrology. The planetarq government may be discouraging to certain church organizations.
 It is not an suspicious day for visiting friends nor relatives whose aid and advice may be desirable. Suspicion may be widespread.
 Under this direction of the stars serious introspection is held to be helpful. The wise will plan care fully for the year which is to bring many astonishing conditions.
 Stress is laid upon the import ance of keeping an optimistic point of view through this year which is designated as a time of crlSls in human affairs.
 Strange theories will be promul- gated and new movements will De launched that will change political parties and create desperate opposi- tion. While extreme ideas will not be realized they will modify many oldtime theories, the seers foreteu.
 Astrologers find the younger gen- erationS responsive to Uranus, Nep- tune and Pluto, planets that enable them to pursue new paths and to attain freedom of thought.
 Secret efforts for financial aid may be expected from certain for eign nations. Bankers are to be subjected to many puzzling prob lems.
 Speculation now will tempt many, but the use will be exceedingly cautious. Stars that encourage bet ting and games of chance will affect many persons.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of hard work that may be exceedingly profitable. Journeys will be taken by many men and women.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceedingly agile of mind, gifted in many ways and able to win success.

Faces need exercise to lift the
muscles up and to prevent the
sagging lines Of age, so perk UP
your face by using the flat under
skin muscles.
Here are the rules for making
faces:
Apply tissue cream or muscle
oil and leave on while exercising
You must lubricate the skin to
make it pliable and to avoid eX-
ercise crinkleS.
Your facial exercises should be
taken when you are rested. AS
with all exercises, begin slowly,
think of moving the muscles
under the skin, and always relax
these delicate muscles gradually,
never suddenly. ....
Age makes its first etchings in
the lines at the side of the
mouth, and from the nostrils to
the corners of the mouth.
Mouth Exercise
The tiny lines at the side of
the mouth that look like paren-
thesis can be entirely smoothed
away with this exercise:
Open the mouth to its fullest
extent, straight up and down.
Do not spread the lips at the
corners. without the slightest
closing of the Jaw and teeth,
draw the lips together. You will
not be able to close the lips
entirely.
Perform the exercise slowly,
gradually tensing and just as
gradually relaxing all the muscles.
If you do this exercise correctly
there will be a tenSeness in all
these little muscles, and the skin
about the mouth will be smooth
and firm.
To lift the sagging lines from
the nose to the mouth:
Open the mouth vertically, as
in the preceding exercise. Close
the eyelids and elevate the browE
just as high as possible. Holding
this expression, try to close the
lips without closing the jaw, as in
the first exercise. Concentrate
on keeping the brows raised to
draw up on the muscles under.
meath the Sagging lines.
Erase Wrinkles
To erase forehead wrinkles:
Place the hand fiat on the fore
head, covering the entire surface,
the little finger line across the
eyebrows. Now, lift the forehead
muscles by exerting an upward
push of the hand. Push up as
hard as you can.
The exercise is to draw these
