LORD MAYOR'S CEREMONIES
WERE QUIETER THAN USUA1
London, Not. 12—It was a very
subdued clrlo pageant •which marked
the Induction Monday of Sir Charles
Johnston, as Lord Mayor of London,
iu succession to Sir Thomas Vansit
tart Bowater. The usual symboli
cal cars and parade of London mili
tia were missing for the troops are
all tinder arms training for the war,
and it did not seem worth while
having the cars wl'U groups rep
resenting Peace, etc.
Starting from the Guildhall at
noon the new Lord Mayor, accom
panied by his swordbearors, mace
bearers and the chief civic officials,
drove to the law courts, where the
oath of office was administered by
Lord Chief Justice Reading, in the
presence of tha high court judges.
The war office allowed oae of the
London Yeomanry regiment to furn
ish a troop for the mayoral escort,
but with the exception of a couple
of bands which were not needed in
the fighting line, these were the
only military present.
It was at first proposed to do
without the annual banquet at the
Guildhall, but as there wUa no pre
cedent for its abandonment during
a period of some seven hundred
years, it was finally decided to
hold It as usual. Premier Asquith,
with the leading members of the
cabinet and opposition were among
the speakers MoHday night. Sir.
Charles Johnston is an express com
pany magnate, and is 66 years of
age.
A NEW ALASKA LINE
MAY SOOX BE STARTED
According to the Tacom.i Tribune
of a recent date, there way be a
shake-up among the vessel lines
now operating in the Alaska trade
and another lino established next
spring. It is stated that this is
due to the purchase of tjie steam
er Kansas City by Joshua Green of
Seattle, who it iu declared, has
been considering placing the steam
ers iroquolg and Chippewa 011 the
Alaska route. The latter two j
steamers have beeu eng&ged In the
passenger business on the Sound for
several years, largely on routes be
tween British Columbia and Seattle.
San Francisco reports are that Mr
Green has purchased the Kansas
City new there, but what route she
will be placed on is not stated by
the purchasers. The vessel has
been laid up there for some time,
and is said to be too hoary for any
Sound run and the Alaska routes
seem the only feasible ones, local
shippers declare. Among the lines
now in the Alaska service are the
Pacific Coast, the Admiral, Hum
boldt, Alaska Steamship company
and several independent lines. "While
the field is well covered the Chip
pewa and Iroquois would be among
the fastest veeesels on the route
should they be placed there.

THE ANNUAL CONVENTION
Of A. F. OF L. MEETS
U. OP W. GIRL TRANSLATES
MOTTO OP KAISER WILHELM
Seattle, Nov. 12—The motto
which Kaiser AVllhelm II has con
stantly before him on his desk w'is
recently translated by Miss Eliza
beth Baker, '18, of Deer Park, and
posted by the German department
of the University of Washington.
The translation follows;
"Be strong in sadness; seek not
the impossible or the worthless. Be
happy in the day as it comes, seek
the good In everything, and delight
in man and nature as they are.
Let the beauty of one single hour
of gladness console you for the
sadness of a thousand bitter ones.
I Give to the world the best of your
self, eveu when no thanks are your
portion. He who knows this les
son well is a proud and happy man,
and his life will be filled with
gladness.
"He who distrusts his fellow man,
sins against the world and harms
himself; it is our duty to regard
every man as good until he proves
to us tbe contrary.
"Thi3 world of ours is so great,
and we are so small v;e cannot be
the center of everything. When we
have trouble of afflictions, who
may know that it is not necessary
for the divine plan of the universe?
The spirit of the omniscicnt and
omipotent Creater lives and moves
in everything, living or dead, in
this great world which he has made.
We insignii'icent men lack only the
ability to comprehend Him. Every
thing is as God intended it to be,
and no matter what we may think
of it. It is always true and good 'n
the sight of the Divine Creator."
THE AUTOMATIC PII5EMAN
Most manufacturing establish
ments, industrial warehouses,
and department stores are
equipped with an automat
ic sprinkler apparatus con
sisting of a system of water pipes
fitted at short intervals with sprink
ler nozzles which openi when the
temperature rises much above the
ordinary, as in case of in
cipient fire. The sprinkler nozzles
are closed by plugs of an easily
fusible metal alloy which melts
at a very low temperature. Cad
mium is an essential ingredient of
such alloys, other metals used being
lead, tin, and bismuth. Cadmium
is also used in electrical fuses,
which prevent fires and accidents
by "burning out" when a dan
gerously high current is accidental
ly thrown upon a line.
