[ WOMAN, LOVELY
WOMAN, LIKE AUTO
i It. L. GOLDBERG GIVES HIS
OPINION IN THE SUNDAY
POST-INTELLIGENCER.
An automobile is like a woman
—not that I know anything about
women, or automobiles, either. That’s
one of my reasons for saying they
are ajike.
Woman is the original design af
ter which all trouble is patterned
When you get her all dolled up.
she won’t start. When you want
to stop her, she keeps moving
When you expect her to be silent,
she sounds like a boiler works. She
always behaves better with some
one else- Every month the bills
you pay for her storage grow larg
er.
And still you see new things
about her every day that excite
your admiration. When she’s calm
and sweet and behaves well on
! hills, you forget all about tne day
she left you cold in the middle of
the road. Her lines grow more
beautiful to you day by day. At
times, when you have her, you
wish you were alone on a pancake
floating in the middle of the ocean
When you are without her you
hock your soul to get her back.
Was I speaking of a woman or
an automobile? It seems to make
sense either way. So we’ll let it
go at that.
It isn’t necessary to see a man
riding in his machine or to smell
gasoline on his person, or to hear
hm boasting about the number of
miles he can make on a gallon, to
know that he owns a car.
Look at his clothes. If he wears
a $10 suit colored the shade cf
crude oil, you know he owns an ex
pensive car. The bulge around his
chest is caused by a bunch of un
paid laundry, tailor, butcher, gro
cer, rent and telephone bills in his
inside pocket
If he wears a complete motoring
outfit—cap, fur coat, goggles and
all, and looks like a millionaire —
you know he owns a $275 al most
mobile. As Napoleon once said on
the eve of a great battle, “It’s all
wrong, Josephine, it’s all wrong!.”
SCIENCE REVEALS THE
SCOURCE OF ALL DUST
Where does the dust come from ?
This question, which careful house
keepers ask themselves every day.
has been scientifically answered
by investigators of Harvard Uni
versity, who have presented their
findings to the American Society
of Heating and Ventilating En
gineers.
Although the investigators did
not consider the effect of street
dust on the health of a community,
they did make measurements of
the amount of dust in the air at
20 feet above J;he street in different
places. ^
At the junction of streets, where
the least dust was accumulated, the
amount in the air would equal a ;
daily deposit of 9 1-2 pounds to the i
acre- In another section as much i
as 50 pounds per acre would be
the d’ily deposit. These measures
were taken in a windy season in
spring
Some interesting figures were
presented regarding the dust on
paved streets compared with un
paved thoroughfares- It was found
that the air in paved streets was.
on the whole, somewhat dustier
than that of unpaved streets, av
eraging 430 milligrams, against 402
but the , bad unpaved street was
worse than the worst of the paved
streets, so far as the amount of I
dust in the air was considered, by
25 per cent.
The effect of street car traffic
was also considered by these In
vestigators. It was estimated that
streets with car lines have one
third more dust than streets with
out them, and the best of such
streets are generally worse than
the worst of the free streets- The
extra amount of dust in the air of
streets having street car lines con
sisted largely of fine particles of
iron; the amount of sand-like dust,
or silica, being about the same In
both types of street
“TOUCHING WOOD.”
The old custom or superstition
of “toucring wood” to avert cala
mity is said to be derived from
the Danish custom of the men of
a district, at the meeting at which
they selected their leader, touching
his weapons in token of fealty. The
annual muster, or “Wapenshaw,”
took place immediately after the
“Wapentake,” so that the King’s
reeve could inspect the men and
their afms. The custom of touching
the wooden shaft of the leader’s
spear doubtless took place at this
annual inspection. The ceremony
of “taking the salute” at a modern
review is thus claimed to he a
survival of this ancient Danish
* custom
ENGELBIt, WIESE, INC., DIS
SOLVED.
The firm of Engelbr, Wiese, Inc-,
has been dissolved and the busi
ness transferred to the Pacific
Mildcure company, of Seattle- The
latter company has been in control
of the affairs of the former for
some time, so that business will be
carried on the same as before the
dissolution. The Pacific Mildcure
company has increased its capital
stock to $8,000. The officers of the
company are Johannes Meyer, presi
dent; Einar Beyer, vice-president,
and Frank Has lurid, secretary and
treasurer.
As the Pacific Mildcure company
will devote its attention exclusive
ly to the mild-curing of salmon, its
■extensive herring business has been
transferred to the Alaska-Pacific
Herring company, a company re
cently incorporated for $30,000 un
der the laws of the State of Wash
ington. This company is controlled
by the same interests as tre Pa
cific Mildcure company and has the
same officers.
The Alaska-Pacific Herring com
pany will operate very extensively
in Alaska this year. A new house
and work scow, named Herring No
1, has recently been built at Bal
lard, and left on May 11 in tow of
•a tug for Southeast Alaska, the
scene of operations during the com
ing season. The company has also
purchased the power vessel Pen
guin, which has been practically
rebuilt, and will be sent north un
der her own power shortly. She
will be equipped with purse seines
and gill nets and will prosecute
the herring fisheries in Southeast
Alaska waters-—Pacific Fisherman

WHERE IS ALGAT
JULIUS ANDERSON
Sometime ago, Miss Charlotte
Anderson, of Centerville, R. I.,
Box 48, came across the name
of Captain Erik Forss in a
newspaper, in which it was stat
ed that the Captain was a resi
dent of Ketchikan, Alaska. Hav- |
ing heard about seven years
ago that her brother, Algat
Julius Anderson, had left Seat
tle for Alaska, and having
heard nothing of him since, she
wrote the captain inclosing
money for an advertisement to
discover the whereabouts of her
brother- She says that he was ,
bom at Trollhattan, Sweden,
September 28, 1881, but that he
lived most of the time in Gotc
borg, Sweden.
Any information leading to J
the discovery of his whereabouts ^
will be greatly appreciated by
the young lady at the above ad
dress or by Captain Forss, Ket
chikan, Alaska.-—Alaska papers
