CANOEING Vi* THE INSIDE
PASSAGE TO ALASKA
This is tbe till* of an article ap
pearing in serial form in the Pacific
Motor Boat, the serial starting in th
October number
Forrest Clark is the writer of
the article, and Skagwavans will call
to mind the arrival of the canvas
covered cedar canoe during ths
mouth of July.
From a persual of the first Install
ment of the description of a canoe
trip through the inland waters of
Alaska and 13. C., It is apparent that
the writer has u fluent flow of lan
guage, and an apt pen. The writer
took many beautiful photoraplis dur
ing the voyage, and many of these
are artistiscally reproduced by half
tones. Harol.l Ilartwigsen has the
"Pacific Motor Boat" for sale at
his store.
THK NEW ART
Exercising in bed having come in
to vogue, we suggest the following
as being among the latest move
ments.
No. 1. With a deft movement of
both forearms, roll the blankets,
eider-down quilts and sheets into a
neat, but not tco gaudy ball. Toss
this up in the air and catch it light
ly upon the soles o£ the feet. Do
this ten times the first morning,
adding five each morning.
No. 2. Lie prone upon the stom
ach and grab the mattress firmly
in the teeth; move head backward.
Uy practicing this motion for.a
week you will be able to improve th
muscles of the shoulder blades.
No. 3. Get under the bed, lift
ing it lightly upon the shoulders,
walk around the block three times.
If you are living near a public
square, increase your journey every
day until you have compassed the
square. I
No. 4. Be sure and have two
mattresses to your bed, and occas
ionally sleep between them. The
upper mattress ihould bo rather
heavy. It presses out the muscles
and stomach and prevents you from
getting fat in case you have a ten
dency that way.
Above all things do nothing vi
olently!

If!SHIPPING A
SKELETON
It Required Very Careful
Handling
By OSCAR cox
^ IH i !■!» I '!■■! '■ 11— m II I !■ t
Mark Hudson was station agent at
Pembnton Junction. Mark was In the
freight house one morning looking over
the boxes and bales scattered about
when he heard a wagon drive up out
side and stop. A young man about
eighteen years of age entered and said:
"I've got a box out hero I'd like to
.ship to Ilallowell. You want to be
mighty particular about it because It
contains something breakable."
"That's all very well so far as I am
concerned..but I can't answer for the
case after the box leaves my keeping."
■ "I've marked instructions on the lid,''
replied the youngster. "Come out and
have a look."
The agent went out with the shipper
and saw a box about Bve and a half
feet long, two feet wide and eighteen
Indies high.
"Corpse?" he asked.
"No. but it's the next thing to it; it'i
a skeleton."
"A skeleton! Isn't that a queer thing
for you to be shipping from this
point?" exclaimed the agent suspi
ciously.
"Well, yes: It would be without an
explanation. 1 saw an ad. In a news
paper the other clay for a skeleton. I
knew they had one they didn't need In
the physiology lecture room of our
college. I'm a '.Merton student, and I
bought It. I've sold It to the advertiser
and have, made some money on It—that
is. If I ffet It there without breaking
any of the bones."
Merton college was six miles dis
tant from the Junction. There was a
co-ed Institution connected with it
The box was lying on its bottom, and
tacked t" the cover was a card on
which were written the Instructions:
Breakable. Keep this side up most of
the limn. Sttind on end occasionally for
awhile.
On one end was another card stating
that when the box was stood on end
that end was to be up. In no case

was the other end to be tip. Hudson
looked fit the box meditatively and
rend the directions.
"What's fhe use of being so careful
with a skeleton?" he asked. "If It isn't
packed properly I don't want to ship
it, or if I do it must be at the owner's
risk, if it is packed properly it should
stand ordinary handling."
"I'll tell you." said the shipper, as
suming a faraway expression. "Those
bones were once the framework of a
beautiful girl."
"How do you know that?" interrupt
ed the agent
"That's the tradition In college," re
sumed the youth. "Now, In packing It
I couldn't divest my mind of what It
had been in life. It seemed horrible to
put the poor creature in cotton or ex
celsior or anything like that. I couldn't
do it. I've put her in Just as she
would like to be put In if she were
alive, lyiug peacefully upon her back,
or when that end is up and this one
down she stands like a beautiful statue
—the Venus de' Medici, for instance."
The speaker was so affected that he
wiped moisture from his eyes with his
handkerchief.
"I don't think," said the agent, "that
I'll receipt for the article. If I should
make myself responsible for a medical
Venus or anything like that and there
should be a breakage, with claims
against the road for big damages, I'd
get fired."
There were a few moments of delib
erative silence between the two. after
which the shipper said:
"1 expect you're right about It. I
wouldn't assume the risk If I were
you. If some galoot of a handler
should stand the box wrong side up It

might break the skeleton's neck. That
would knock off a big sum from iti
value. Besides, consider what It once
was. How would you like to have a
sister of yours sent o(f in a box and
stood wrong end"—
"Oh, give us a reel on that port o!
the business. I understand that you've
got a piece of merchandise to be ship
ped at the ordinary rates."
"You haven't any feeling," the other
continued. "I can't resign all that re
mains on earth of what was once a
delicate girl to such hands as yours.
I'm going along with the box myself,
so that I may see It is bandied tender
ly. Will you take It on those terms?"
"Well,, yes. I don't mind If you'll
take tho reeponslbillty."
The agent took hold of the box and
was proceeding to remove It when he
discovered that it weighed something
like a hundred pounds.
"That's the heaviest skeleton I ever
handled," he remarked.
"How many have you handled?" ask
ed the shipper.
"I don't know that I ever bandied
any."
"Then how can you tell what one of
them should weigh? Take hold of that
end and 111 take this. Now she goes."
And the box was carried into the
freight station and stood tip on tho
right eml. Then the agent went to a
desk and, taking a blank receipt, asked
the young man bis name.
"John Smith," was the reply.
"Any middle name?"
"No."
"Where to?"
"Hallowell."
Halloweil was a town some twenty
miles distant
"You don't noed the name of the per
son the skeleton was when alive, do
you?" asked Mr. Smith.
The agent turned from his writing
and. locking the shipper in the face,
said:
"Young man. will you be offended if
I say something plain to you?"
"No: drive on."
