SPRING CLEANING
The members of the towu council
passed a. timely resolution last
night requesting property owners
of Skagway, although it is a month
in advance of that annual event, to
clean their premises of all trash and
debris that have accumulated
through the long winter months
and which, under th® warm atmos
pheric conditions that now prevail
here, are liable to prove a serious
menace to health if not at once take
care of. j
The early adventurou? birds, the
position of the sun and a thous
and less obvious but.quite ascertain
signs of spring are at hand. Spring
means, or should mean, house
cleaning, and not only house clean
ing, but yard cleaning, street and
alley cleaning, painting, furbishing;
it should mean order and harmony
and beauty. So clean up and paint
up. I
"Oh, yes, whose payin' ye to ad
vertise some feller'j, paint?" sneers
our omnipresent knocker friend. We
might answer that 't is none of
his business, but we don't have to
do that. We're advertising every
body's soap and underwear and
cleanly and decent outer garments.
People ought to keep themselves
clean. Health demands that we do
that; and we can't keep ourselves
clean without soap i>:id water aud
towels and the ordinary toilet con
veniences. .We can't kee,> our yards
and lawns clean unles we use mow
ers, and rakes and shovels. We
can't keep our streets and alleys,
clean unless we have the men and
the tools aud the inclination to
keep them as they should be kept.
Clean up and paint up. That Is
a civic prescription that is worth
while. Cleanliness is akin to god
liness. You have heard chat enough
to.convince you of its truth, but
we sometimes overlook a truth by
reason of its sheer familiarity, or
at least fail to profit by it as we
should. Clean houses, clean lawns,
outbuildings—that condition means
health and comfort and aesthetic
pleasure. Dirt and tawdy negligence
indicate decay and shiftlessness;
they .invite disease; they are ugly,
offensive, unnatural.
FANNING THE SAILS
No Amount of Wind Raised j
Aboard a Ship Can Propel It.
CONTRARY TO NATURAL LAW.
As a Matter of Fact, the Force of the
Air Driven Against the Canvas
Would Have a Tendency to Send the
Vessel Backward Instead of Forward.
"If an electric fan could be made
large enough to throw a sufficient
amount of wind to move a small sail
boat and such a fan was placed on tbe
end of a boat wltb tbe wind from tbe
fan blowing against the sail on "tbe
very buat tbe fan Is on. is It possible
that it could uiove the boat? Tbe ar
gument is t ii> t the fan. being on the
same boat as the sail, cannot move
itself. But as the air detaches Itself
from the fan and hits the sail, uiy idea
is that it can. provided It has tbe
strength to move the t>oat. Please give
an answer."
This question is north answering be
cause it involves a principle of physics
that ousbt to be 'inJversally under
stood and ignorance of which may lead
to tbe waste of both time and money
upon inventions that will not work.
Tbe writer of tbe question thinks
that because tbe air. as she expresses
it, is "detached from" the fan when it
starts off to strike the sail. It ought to
act like an ordinary wind and push tbe
boat before It. But she would not think
so If she reflected that tbe particles of
air driven from tbe fan resemble a
swarm of bullets shot from a guu.
The air particles get their force from J
tbe fan as the bullets get theirs from :
tbe gun. and Just as tbe gun recoils ■
with a force equal to that which it Im
parts to tbe bullets, so the fan, wheth
er driven by electricity or steam or
turned by band. Inevitably recoils with
tbe same amount of force that it Im
parts to tbe air.
To make clearer tbe comparison be
tween a stream of bullets from a gun
and a stream of wlud from an electric
fan, imagine a Maxim gun placed at
the rear of a boat and an Impenetrable
target at the frout, and then suppose
that the gun should burl a continuous
current of bullets against the target
Anybody can see that tbe boat would
not be driven forward, because tbe
recoil of the gun would constantly
force It backward with the same
energy with which the bullets, striking
the target, forced It ahead.
But if the gun were placed on shore
or on another support its stream of
bullets striking the target would drive
the boat forward, because then their
effect would be like that of a wind
blowing freely across tbe water and
having no connection with anything on
the boat
An ordinary wind Is able to drive a
boat wnose sail it strikes because Its
reaction (that of tbe wind) Is not upou
the boat but upon the great mass of
the atmosphere or upon the earth.
The principle to be remembered,
and ignorance or forgetfolness of
which has coat tbe happiness of more
than ose unad stated inventor's life, Is
thnt no mechanical fTtrce can'Ke pro
duced without nn expenditure ot en
ergy precisely equivalent Never for
get that there can be no notion with
out equal reaction and that if the ac
tion takes Its origin within the limits
of the thing that is acted upon the
reaction will also be felt within those
same limits.
Your electric fan would drive a toy
vessel placed on the deck of your
boat, although it would not drive the
lx>at itself, because, with regard to
the toy vessc-l. the breeze from the fan
would have an independent origin, like
an ordinary wind blowing over a lake,
and Its reaction would not be upon
the toy. but upon the boat over whose
deck the toy glided
If yon are inside a car ar.d push upon
the car you cannot move it as you could
If you stood upon the ground outside
and pui-hcd. In the first case your
action and reaction are both upon the
car. but In the second case the action
is upon the car and the reaction upon
the ground outside. The same tiling
happens if you suspend a bar above
your head and till xo'urself by pulling
down on it. and afterward put the bar
under your feet and try to lift yourself
by pulling up on it. \ on succeed In
lifting yoursetf in ilie tlr-t case, but
you fail iu the secmid. because when
the bar is under your feet the force
of your pull reacts upon your own
body and urges it down just as much
as up.
There Is one effect of the electric fan
which might surprise you -it would
tend to drive your boat backward in
stead of forward. It would push
against air like the propeller of an
aeroplane, and to make it drive your
boat forward you would have to face
the fan around, so that its reaction
would be upon the atmosphere behind
instead of ahead of the boat, "'arid in
either case your sail would be not only
useless but an encumbrance.—(Jarrett
P. Serviss in New York Journal.

Purified Blood-—~
SOLVES Most of" Sick
ness Problems
People who havd* been poulticing
and anointing for years and years
marvel at the way Purola does the
work.
When you come to realize that
the skin and flesh beneath are
composed of a network of tiny
blood vessels you solve the mystery.
yhere are wonderful medicinal
properties in Purola Syrup Saraap
urilla compound that follow the
course of the blood stream just as
naturally as the most nourishing
food elements.
Thousands know it to be really a
remarkable remedy.. It contains one
ingredient, the active purpose of
which is to stimulate the tissues
to the healthy selection of its own
essential nutriment. And the "med
icinal elements of thia matchless
blood purifier are juat a* essen
tial to well-balanced heajth as the
nutritious elements of the meats,
grains, fats and sugars^of our dally
food," said a well-known physician.
Not only this, but if from the
presence of some distributing poi
son there is a local or general in
terference of nutrition to cause
boils, carbuncles, abcesses and kin
dred troubles, Purola Syrup Sarsap
arilla compound, so direct the
local cells that this poison is re
1 jected and eliminated from their
presence.
Then, too, Purola Syrup Sarsap
arilla compound, has su:h specific
stimulation on these local cells as
to preserve their mutual welfare
and a proper relative assistance to
each other.
Not one drop of miuerals or
drugs, is used in its preparation.
