PACK IIS
RESTAURANT
The interior appearance of the
Pack Train restaurant lias been,
greatly 'enhanced by the recent
putting in of a handsome cherry
I'inishod backboard behind the
lunch counter. This beautiful and
ccstlv piece 'of furniture was once
a part of one of the most ex
pensively fitted up saloons in, Skag
jvav and 's especially adapted to
its pre3eiit use, which is to ' dis
play to the best advantage the
tempting viands to allure the taste
that are always to be had in this
popular place, as well as the
fruits, berries, etc., • etc.
The backboard is about sixteen
feet In length and has a magnifi
cent mirror extending along its en
tire upper length between the glass
receptacls on each end, in which
ari kept the articles that are most
susceptfbb to atmospheric changes.
The neat arrangement 'of the
things on display and their appe
tizing look, appeal strongly to every
one who sees them. Messrs. Karaman
& Clecak are certainly deserving of
the liberal patronage they receive
from the traveling public. 1

How the Flow of a River Is Measured.
If you see a man leaning over the
railing of a bridge intently watching
the river with a telephone receiver at
his ear do not think that the man is
trying to talk to the llshes or to a
diver below the surface. He is proba
bly one of the government's engineers
measuring the amount of water pass
ing under the bridge. This is done by
lowering an Instrument known ns a
current meter into the water at several
points under the bridge to determine
the speed of the water and by meas
uring the depths of the water at the
same points. From such information
tho flow of the river at that particular |
time and height can be computed, and
when such measurements have been
made at a number of different heights
the flow of the stream at any height
can be determined. Then if a record 1
of the height of the river Is obtained
each day from a river gauge the flow
for each day can be computed.
How to Bo an Orator.
A politician at the end of a speech
was congratulated for his oratory.
"What Is your recipe for good ora
tory?" a reporter asked.
"I am afraid oratory comes natural,"
was the reply. "There Is, though, one
recipe for It—old Job Walmby's, but It
Is hardly satisfactory. 'Tlia wants to
bo a public speyker, dos tha. lad?'
Job In Ills Yorkshire dialect would say,
'an' tha thinks Aw'in tho chep to put
tha up to a wrinkle aboot it? Tha's
right; Aw am Now, bark tha! When
tha rises to meek thy speych hit taablo
an' oppen thy mawth. If nowt comes
tak' a sup o' water an' hit taable again.
Thin oppen thy mawth wider than
afoor. Thin, if nowt comes, tak' thy
sen off an' leave public spekin' to such j
as ma* "—London Tit-Bits.
Our Schools and Our Flag.
The national pledge for our tlag was
recommended by the American Flag
Day association. The pupils, standing
with right hand uplifted, palm upward,
to a line with the forehead, in the atti
tude of salute, repeat the pledge In
these words: "I pledge allegiance to
my flag and to the republic for which
it stands. On© nation, indivisible, with
liberty and Justice for all." At the
words "to my flag" each one extends
the right hand gracefully, palm up
ward, toward the flag until the end of
the pledge; then the hand is dropped
to the side.
Children in the primary p>ades are
taught to repeat a shorter pledge in
theso words: "I give my head and my
heart to God and my country. One
country, one language, one flag."—Phil
adelphia Press.
Bombay's Huge Road Mirror.
Road mirrors are not rare In Eng
land, where they are set at dangerous
turns or crossings to warn drivers of
vehicles or pedestrians just around the
corner. Their success was immediate,
and some American cities are showing
an Interest in the device. Bombay,
however, has led the world with the
largest road mirror on record as well
as the first In India. It Is set at tho
corner of Gamdevi road and Hughes
road, a dangerous point, and measures
5 by 10 feet, which is seven times as
large as the average English road mir
