And the Babylonians Disappeared
Cleveland Plain Dealer)


 One of lifes little trials comes when you are comfortably esconced in the softest chair content edly listening to the radio and member of the family indulging in the daily ablution breaks forth in sentorian tones with the song hit of the day The resulting cacophony raises the temper shatters the nerves and makes you avoWed enemy of the per- ncious practice of warbling in the bath until you get there yourself.
 The practice is universal and apparently as old as man, or at least old bath tubs. That means that human nature whaever that isl has not changed for 5000 years for archeologsts have discovered the MeSopotamians were musical and possessed bath tubs Dr. Allen B. Albert Jr, of the Seabury Western Theological Seminary told his fellow dggers into the past all about it at the American Oriental Society meeting at the University of Chicago recently.
 Bath tubs wash basins, plumbing and complete water systems have been uncovered by the delivers in the desert that once bossomed like a rose and re- sounded with the strains of the newest number from Babylons Broadway. All of which should cause an- thropoogstS to reconsider the accepted wheezes civilization that sings never be defeated The Babylonans their plumbing and their songs centuries ago vanished from the earth.
 This should be lesson to modern that bath tub singing will, not save him. We may be in even worse fix, for the Babyonians had no radios to push them the road to ruin If it is not possible to end tub tunes every family should an understanding that the habit will not become competitive with ether. The habit of mixing the two is all wet

JUNEAU'S SMALL BOAT HARBOR
 MOVES FORWARD A PACE

Juneau's small boat harbor project stepped for ward pace yesterday A news dispatch from Wash ington to The Empire reveals that the Senate Appro- priations committee has approved of the War Depart ments recommendation that $232oO0 be set aside the building of the harbor in Juneau.
 While this is far from actual appropriation of the money it gives encouragement that this session of Congress will include appropria tions the necessary sum for construction of the project If this is done it would not be impossible to work actually start this year it is understood here that the Army engineers have placed the Juneau, project among those at the top the list of Alaska projects to be taken up when the money is made available.
 Some excellent work was done by this commun- ity in getting War Department action the small boat harbor and large part of the credit must be given the Juneau Chamber of Commerce. The Cham Der got soidly back of the project the first instance pressed for Army engineers to come north and look proposed sites, arranged for public hearings here by Chief of Army Engineers H J Wild of the Seattle district and finally presented such effective data that the engineers approved the site just north of the Douglas Island bridge on the mainland side of the channel and recommended it's construction Since then the Chamber has been working with Delegate Anthony j. Dimond in effort to get the necessary appropriation from Congress It was an excellent piece of community effort and indications that J is going to bear fruit much sooner than some of us anticipated
 As for the harbor itself it's construction means a great deal to Juneau and the Gastineau Channel area. Small boats which heretofore have sought ter quarters in other cities make of the facilities here. The large fleet which bases here will have accommodations. It will encourage pleasure craft as well as commercial vessels It will mean dollars and cents to business in this community

YESTERDAYS PRIMARY

While primary elections traditionally known for apathy the part of the voters, yesterday primary returns from the First Division indicate the interest was no less than in former years and in Juneau there evidence of an increased interest. The three precincts cast total of 979 votes. This ITO than cast in the last off year primary in 1884 when the total in the Juneau precincts was 809, and only 108 votes under the primary figure here in the Presidential year primary of 1886 when tally of LOST was recorded Other pre- cincs of the Division show comparatively light but complete probably will reveal that yesterdays primary vote was par with other offyear elections, if not little stronger
 Democratic sentiment appears to prevail virtu- ally as strong it did two years ago. Of the 979 Juneau votes 585 of them were Democratic and 394 Republican, Incomplete returns from other sections of the Division indicate similar dominating Demo- cratic sentiment the part of the voters Two years ago the Republican ticket took commanding lead in precinct No g. Juneau. Yesterday in the pre- cinct Republicans cast 115 votes and the Democrats 113 Other precincts here were top-heavy Democratic as has been usual since 1882.
 In the face of incomplete returns. close race was being made by Crystal Snow Jenne and Henry Roden for nomination the Democratic ticket for the Senate. Senator Roden led by a small margin in returns from this end of the Division For the Democratic House seats John Mccormick of Juneau appeared to be heading for the honor of being high man. and leading for nomination with him are J. P. Anderson, James " Davis and Henry Messerschmdt, all of Juneau Mccormick swept through the Juneau precincts just he recently in the city election of Councilman and seemed to be holding a substantial lead throughout the Division.

Horoscope "The stars incline
 but do not cOmpeT'
THURSDAY. APRIL 28, 1888

Adverse planetary aspects are ac- tive today, according to astrology and may interfere with well laid plans. The later hours of the day are likely to be more fortunate than the morning.
 Distinctions and delays may be encountered in business and pro- Ifession activities. Subordinates may be peculiarly inept while this configuration prevails. 1 Workers come under a sway indi- eating strikes, walkouts and insis- tent demands.
 The wise will postpone launching new projects although there is a sign that seems to, promise ulti- mate success. Mining enterprises are to be productive but this is time for planning rather than begin ming.
 Lawyers are subject to benefic aspects. Sensational trials in which libel or crooked financial methods are involved are prognosticated. Al fresco entertainments will as sume unusual popularity in the com ing summer.
 Although the summer is likely to be prosperous in the United States. Americans who have vision will eX- ercise judgment in the conservat ton of money.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of serious per plexities. Business men may sustain the loss of partners. Ups and downs in financial matters may be dis turbing. sak
 Children born on this day proba- bly, will be inclined to take a seri- ous view of life and it's opportuni- ties. These subjects of Taurus are usually studious and dependable.
 Frank Hatton, American journal ist, was born on this day 1846. Others who have celebrated it as birthday include Ezra Abbott, noted Biblical scholar, 1819; Robert Bonner, founder of the New York Ledger. 1924.
