ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE.
DIolocr bat Proved that Dandruff la
Caused by a Germ.
Scierco 13 Jonig wonders these days in
nedlcine as well as In mechanics. Since
Adam lived, tho human race has been
iroiiblea with dandruff, for which no hair
^reparation has heretofore proved a suc
cessful cure until Newbro's Herpicide was
put on the market. It is a scientific prep
iration that kills the germ that makes
iandruff or scurf by digging Into the
:calp to get at the ro»t of the hair, where
it saps the vitality: causing itching scalp,
falling hair, and finally baldness. With
out dandruff hair rnust grow luxuriantly.
It Is the only destroyer of dandruff.

PIRK THREATENED
PERTH AVE. HOTEL
At 8:15 o'clock last night an. al
arm of fire was sounded, and the
•reoort rapidly spread about that
the "Fifth" Avenue hotel wa§ burn
ing.
Responding with avidity to the
alarm, members of the Volunteer
Fire Department soon had lines of
ho&e from nearby hydrants, and
as the fire had originiated in a
small shed on the alley back of
the hotel, th-e fire fighters had
little difficulty in confining the
flames to the little building.
Wi'h the high wind that was
blowing, and 'he great number of
small out buildings huddled close
up to the one in which, the fire
originated, it was a most fortunate
thing that water was hosed quickly
to the scene, for had the flames
gotten well under way, it might
have been a hard fight to sav« the
old hotel and adoining sheds.
The cause of the fire is un
known, but as the sheds are now
an'1 have been unoccupied for sev
eral years, it is thought that pos
sibly some person might have gone
into the dark building just for cur
iosity and in order to see better,
lighted a match and. failed U> see
tha» it was thoroughly out before
leaving. : f i ' ij.t:

Every seat at %o Papular Pic
ture Palace was occupied last night
when flie first bea/uttf}ully colored
photographic elide wasi thrown on
the screen at the lecture given un
der the auspices of the Skagway
Alpine club.
President Pedersen, in a distinct
and easy, manner read the descrip
tion oi the trip thraugout the
National iYellowstong Bark, whicl\
■bad been prepared by the passen
ger department of the Northern Pa
cific Railway Company, and great
interest was shown by exclama
tions of awe and wonderment as
scene after scene was rtuowm, graph
ically describing the scenic grand
eur iu a manner which is utterly
impossible to do by pen or word.
The modern, hotels, oeauping im
posing sites, the wonderful roads
and trails, and bridges, which have
been constructed without changing,
in* the sllgfhtest degree the natural
beauty and w.ildness of the sur
rounding country, portrayed what
a careful expenditure pf time and
money has accomplished in making
accessible the interesting featured
of this great national playground.
During the intermissions, the
children from, the school®, uit
dor the direction of Miss Lois
r*Annr') 1 P" EUld i
patriotic songs, some of the boys
adding a novelty; to th© rendition
bv whistling the- chorus parts.
Alter tihe conclusion of the leo
turc, 'he result of tjie member get
ting contest of the two teams was
announced, and Mrs. Suffecool's
team won, Madam Captain) Suffe
cool and her assistants having pin
ned the gr«e>n bows on 114 new
members, while Madam Captain
Landsborough and, her a id eg se
cured 78 new members. This
brings the total number of active
members of the olub up to to 236.
Manager Mowl completed the
evening's entertainment by putting
on a sood reel of Animated Week
ly events, the Broken Coin and a
good comedy, whict, was followed
bv a trip, to the summit of the
Sierras.
It was gratifying to note the
control the teachers had over the
little tofs, which had a good ef
fect on the grown-ups, when, the
firo bell pounded the alarm while
tho entertainment was at itts height.
As 'he clanging of the bell be
came audible in th*9 theater. Im
mediately there was an uproar. But
this was instantly quieted when
Miss Benthien and Mias Butt, rea
lizing that a mad rus(h for the ex
i's might result in. inuring some of
those present, called for quiet to
firm voices, and commanded the
children to keep their peats. This
command was instantly obeyed, and
when the grown-upg realized how
readily, tho children, obeyed, they
followed the example set, and quiet
agaiu at once prevailed.
