Th? last day sat by the public
health officer for a general claau
up, oet'or© alleys ami yards wore
subject to inspection by the city
au'iioniiea expired oa May 14th,
which v,;ls last Sunday. Wq regret
to say that in :ome instances citi
"/et'S of Sk.igway have not heeded
the health notice Issued by the
health officer. Generally speaking
people have co-operated with the
city (>f:icals in fine shape and as a
result alleys, back yards and rub
bisj p'les have been clamed up,'
adding to the lo.*ks ol the town,
llowovei here and th-erfe caa bo
s-eu the unsightly pile of rubbish '
in the lack alley, tne ash pile 1
which nas been uncovered by the j
disappearing snow and the pile of !
cans iu the corner which should .
have been hauled away long ago. j
Let us hope that ere another week i
rol's o:'t the calendar that the
health officer can report every yard
and alley in a thoroughly sanitary
condition.
Til'.' call for bard roc it miners iu
the vicinity of Skagway is indeed
encouraging to people of this sec
tion. It is true that only a few
men were wanted but that call may
L the first sigual for an extensive
mining campaign to be carried on in
the interior, it is understood that :
Mr. ilar, .-r has secured the Conrad
mines properties. Such news is j
indeed received in mining circles
with a deal of enthusiasm. Money
lias bteii »vcnt in developing the (
properties and with the new open- |
ing of the property certainly it is j
our wish that ore will soon be
enroute from these mines to the j
smther in the States.
Miiii. g men in this vicinity wel
come tile news that the mines at
1'iivey will soon be taking out ore.
By J aiy 1st. the management hopes !
to st.ike tile main ledge and begin j
ohipun: ts to the smeher. Ttfe j
more mines that b*?gin shipping
from 1'ie interior, all the more men
will L-t employed and the success of
any district defends on the pay |
roll tlia* is being built up.
Sport fans will doubtle-s welcome
the lovful news- that Skagway ia out
after henors this year on the base
ball field. Ce.-tainly there must
be material amongst the young men
of thi.-: town to kewp together a
representative team, *a team that
will be sports euough to play the
game fcr the love of the game.
The action on the part of the
baseball men in Skagway deserves
comment. They nave bauded to- |
gother and will put forth every ef
fort to represent Skagway at the
coming celebration in Whitehorsc. I
Games liave been arranged with j
Ft. Howard. So lovers of the na
tional game will see some claasy
amatucr ball this summer on the. lo
co • grounds. A team which has
the sPi:'lt behind it as tbe one has I
which is being formed is deserving i
of support and we fee', sure that |
they will not find the people of this
city lacking in that respect when
the tim° comes.
HOW BLOTTERS ABSORB INK.
Being a Simple Explanation of Capil
lary Attraction.
Every student of physics knows that
water will run up a narrow tube by
ccpillarv attraction Anything im
mersed in water has a similar attrae
Hon for the water—that is. the object
becomes wet by the water that clings
to It. The amount Is limited by the
weight of the liquid itself Place your
hand In water and your hand when
withdrawn is wet. The limited attrac
tion between the hand ar.d the water
Is gauged by the weight of the water
that clings to the hand.
imagine ukuus *•—
togrther in water, but uot touching one
another. If this composite band were
formed of ten single hands it wiuld at
tract ten times as much water n« the
one hand would attract and hold on Its
surface. So a wisp of hay. composed
of a hundred si>ears of dried crass,
placed In water wiil remove a hundred
times as much of the fluid as would
cling to one sp«?ar. Bushes In a marsll
will remove a certain amount of water,
which will by capillary attraction flics
to tbelr submerged parts.

EQUINE EVOLUTION.
Ther« Was a Tim? WH«n tho Hor»«
Was Only Two Feet High.
The v&riutions which lead up to the
formation of a new species are so in
sensible, they stretch over such a vast
period of time, that their survival value
from generatiou to generation is and
must be very slight. Take the case of
the horse, for Instance.
The development of the horse seema
to stretch over a period of at least
3,000,000 years, or from tho eohlppus of
eocene times, an animal less than two
feet high cud probably weighing less
than a hundred pounds, to tho horse
of late tertiary times, the pllohippus,
much like the superb creature tve know
today. Are feet high and weighing
1.000 or 1.200 pounds.
if this animal Increased In height
only one-qu:.i ier of an Inch in 10,000
years he vrou.'d be six feet high In less
than 2000000 years. So. If we allow
hlia o,000.000 jo-rs to develop In, his
increas? in he.'sht oust hate bees even
less tho a cue fourth of an In: h in
10.000 years.
Think of PI Our horse of !>day ujight
be Incrcasiu.T or diminishing ta i"ize at
that rate and the fact never be noticed
during the whole period, lit weight the
same—one-eighth of a pound In a Inin
dred years, and he would weigh 14,000
pounds in loss than 2,000,000 years, a
rate of iia.eu.se that oar scales would
hardly detect In a century of time.
The transformations of the othnr anl
mals have probably been equally slow
Science woukl feel safe in saying that
a flying flsh never becomes a bird. But
can we conceive how slight the changv
would have tu be In every thousand
years to bring it about in geologic or
biologic time?—Johu Hurrouglis lu
North American Review.
The Still Small Vole#.
The most potent i>nd beneficial forces
ate stillest. The strength of a sen
tenre is not in its adjectives, but In
its verbs am! nouns, anil the strength
of men an J "f nations is In their calm,
gane, meditative moments. In a time
of noisJmul Lurry and materialism like
ours the gospel of the still small voice
is always seasonable.—Jobu Burroughs
