EARLY WINTER PREDICTED
1» geems probbale, from reports j
iu tlie Far North that Alaska is to !
experience au unusually early jvin- j
ter, if not the earliest in a decade, I
Bays the Seward Evening Post. Of-1
Xicers of the steamer Corwiu re-'
ported that the ice was setting
south towaTd Bering sea very early
and the following report from the
.Nome Industrial Worker foretells au
early freezeup in Bering sea. The
same conclusion is borne out bv
reports from Cook Inlet, which tell
of freezing weather at night around
the head of the inlet already:
"The steamer Arctic arrived from
the north yesterday and sails
at four o'clock this afternoon for
Teller, York, Tin City, and return.
Capt. Whitlam, like the king in the
ballad, was in his counting house
counting up his money when ;i re
presentative of the Industrial Work
er sought some information as to
northern doings. It was the cold
est up north he had ever experi
enced this time of the year, and it
felt as if the ice were floating
around nearby and doubtless it is,
because he stated that it blew oue
steady, unvarying northwester from
the time he left Nome until » his
return.
"Mr. Lopp, the chief of the bu
reau of education, has gone north
to the Kobuk to inspect the new
native settlement for which a re
servation had been secured for the
Deering natives on that river. The
Arctic waited some time for him to
return, but was obliged to sail
back without him.
"The schooner Challenge, if all
'ce reports are correct, will have a
hard time getting to Barrow as the
boat only left Wales on August 27,
tud the weather was cold and chilly
all the time, indicating the prox
imity of the ice. Netuer had Capt.
Backlaad with the schooner Holmes
returned when they left Kotzebuu
and he may also have had a hard
time navigating back from Barrow.'
KNOWLEDGE DOESN'T UNSKX
WOMEN", ASSERTS -NEW DEAN
University of Washington, Oct.
13—Miss Ethel Coldwell, the new
dem of •women at the University of
Washington, has little patience with
those who believe educationn de
tracts from the charm of women.
Shu told the students of her sex
as much at the first women's assem
bly a few days ago, and added that
sh.-: believed it the duty of the
university to give them the power
to utilize their natural instincts for
public services
"It Is nonsense to say that edu
cation unsexes women," she eaid
"No woman is a less fine wife be
cause she is educated to be a com
panion to her husband, or a less
tender mother because she under
stands the science of infant feeding
and the importance of regular hours
Training should merely broaden
your horizon to such an
«stent that the wife and mother
interest is broadened to compre
hend the general problems of all
wives and a sense of responsibility
for child welfare and infant mor
tality; the home instinct is extend
ed to an Intelligent understanding
of the importance of careful city
planning, drainage and housing."
Dean Coldwell strongly urged a
vocational trend of study for wo
men during their last two years in
ccllege, that they might be fitted to
provide for themselves in an em
ergency. She ridiculed, however,
those who contend that what a
man can do, a woman can do.
"Women will never penetrate
tropical swamps to hurl great
bridges across migbtly rivers, or
build auy Panama canals," she as
serted. "We shall do some of the
things that men do, but these will
aot be the highest contribution of
women to civilization. It will be by
a development of our own resources,
bv the discover}- of fields of labor
which we are physically and tem
peramentally fitted to fill better tha
men can fill them that we will
justify our claim to consideration as
an intellectual forcq iu the world."
che asserted that co-education is
still being tested, and that its val
uta will never be completely vindi
cated until women "are able to
think for themselves, play by
themselves and construct for them
selves, as men are."
Forfaited Citizenship.
The law upon the subject of forfeit
ed citizenship reads ns follows: "When
any naturalized citizen shall have re
sided two years In the foreign state
fr»m which he came or five years In
any other foreign state It sliall be
presumed that he lias ceased to be nil
American citizen, and his place of
abode shall be deemed his place of
residence."

A Primitive Hunting Weapon.
The bolas Is a missile weapon used
by hunters and Indians In South Amer
ica to entangle the feet of animals and
thus throw them to tho ground. This
primitive weapon consists of two or
more balls of stone or metal, usually
covered with leather and connected to
the ends of cords or thongs. The tiunt
er holds oue of the balls In his right
band, whirls the other around his
head and, when the proper iu«nentum
has been obtained, sends them whirling
like chain shot through the air. When
the thong comes in contact with tha
legs of an animal It Is tightly wound
about them, a fall results, and escapo
is Impossible.
