A Statement About The Water
Pipe At Metlakahtla
To the Editor:
When Father Duncan order- <
ed the shutting off of the public!
hydrant at Metlakahtla. the
early part of last November.'
the people were well informed !
of his motives in doing so. and.
today they have both fact- and
witnesses to prove the same.
If the public hydrant at Met
lakahtla. from which the people
draw their only supply of good
water, was closed on account i
of frost, as the illiterate post- ■
master of that place asserted,!
this should have been done the j
first part of January, and open- j
ed up again two weeks later!
when the frost was gone. But!
the hydrant was closed the!
early part of last November i
while the weather was very
mild, and the same remain
closed today although there i
no outlook of any heavy frost
coming.
Ever since the main pipe was
! laid up to the mountain, and
even in the heviest frost, it
has remained open in winter
time to keep it from freezing.
However in case of accidents,
-uch as the falling of a tree
| across the pipe or the bursting
j of the same under heavy r>res
sure/’ as in all other -imiliar
cases anywhere else, the water
i5 0f course- turned off until
the pipe is repaired. But tlu- is
the fir-t time in the histor; of
Metlakahtla when without any
iccidental reasons whatever,
the people are deprived of the
use ■•{ their public hydrant
This a(lion on Fahter Duncan’s
part ha- compelled the people
to me marshy and rain water,
'and the incre >— in cases <
. k ess 1 - been very i
ible in their midst.
A pers lo j ist as h
{.leases with hi- own private
property: but does Father
Duncan owm the main water
pipe him-elf 1 1” be true >o
ourselves we believe not. The
origin of the whole thing, the
names of the generous givers
and the amount of money eon-1
tributed. are too well known;
and we cannot believe that
Father Duncan owns it all.
What right then has lie. to -ay
nothing of his being a mis
sionary of the gospel, to cause
any unnecessary hardships
among his converts? lli>
action in closing the public
hydrant at Metlakahtla i> there
fore considered by the people
as criminal and malicious, and
one deserving of the fullest in
vestigation' by the government
and district authorities.

Paul's Personal Appearance.
All that we know of Paul’s personal
appearance from tils own writings Ls
found in 11 Cor. x. 10, which Indicates
that lu» did not possess the advantage
of a dia. e- ilshed or imposing pres
ence. ills stature was somewhat dl- !
minutive, his eyesight weak (see Acts
sstil, 5. aud Gal. iv. ir>>, nor did he re- j
gard his address as impressive. Much
of this personal criticism, however,
may have been the outcome of the
apostle's desire to avoid magnifying
himself or his own talents. A fourth
century tablet represents him as ven
erable looking and dignified, with a
high, bald forehead, full bearded and
with features indicating force of char
acter. Oue ancient writer says Paul's
nose was strongly aquiline. All the
e.-frlv pictures and mosaics, as well as
some of the early writers (among thorn
Malalus and Nioephhrusi agree in de
scribing the apostle as of short stature,
with long face, prominent eyebrows,
clear complexion and a winning ex
pression. the whole aspect being that
of power and dignity. The oldest
known portrait is the Komau panel of
the fourth century, already referred to
above.—Christian Herald.

Easy Solution.
"Say." said the "wise guy” to the
patient listener, "did you hear about
that fellow who came la on a South
American liner the other day and no
body could make him understand any
one of seventeen different languages?
They even tried him with the deaf
and dumb stuff, but he only shook his
head and said nothing. Finally they
had to send him back to the boat, and
he'll probably spend the rest of his life
sailing back and forth between here
and South America, as nobody knows
what country he comes, from I bet 1
could find where he hails from. Sim
plest thing |n the world .lust get a
collection of coins from all countries
and place them before him one after
another. When the right one came
along he'd show his nationality right
there. They all talk for money, you
know.”—New fork Tribune.
Gravity of a Spinning Top.
A spinning top is kept from falling
because of tbe speed with which it re
volves. The attraction of gravitation
is temporarily overcome by the centrif
ngal force produced by the rotation of
the top when it is spun. Each part
of the top is subject to the same cen
trifugal force as each other part at the
same distance from the axis of rota
tion and to no greater force, so that
there is uo cause for the top being
pulled iu any particular direction by
the force of gravity. As soon as the
centrifugal force begins to lessen be- ,
pause of lessening speed of rotation the
attraction of gravity beg Ins to be ex .
erted again and the top l ogins to wob
bie. When the spinning motion di- ■
minisbes to such an extent that the
attraction of gravitation becomes great
er than the centrifugal force the top
falls to one side.
Old Estimate of F eld Hands.
The sixteenth century Earl of War
wick stayed the slaughter after the
suppression of Kelt's rising by an ar
gument which shows how completely
agricultural workers were regarded as
mere "hands." Of the 20.000 insur
gents who had encamped with Kett on
Mousehold heat!) 2.000 or 3.000 had
been killed In the battle, the strength
of the victors lying in German and
Italian mercenaries. Kett himself was
hanged from tbe walls or Norwich
castle, forty-live others were hanged,
drawn and quartered in the market
place, and 300 In all are said to have
been executed. Warwick checked the
demaud for increasing the number of
victims by asking. "\\ hat shall we do.
then—bold the ' plow ourselves, play
the carters and labor the ground with
our ow u hands — Loudon Chronicle,
David Livingstone.
David Livingstone will always rani;
among the most illustrious of the Af
rican explorers. He was a real path
finder and civilizer as well as a most
devoted Christian and philanthropist.
C'pon his large and lasting fame there
seems to be not a single blot. From
the spot in Africa where he died, near
Cbitambos village, on the Malilano.
Livingstone's body was in IS"-) taken
to England and deposited wpb nigh
honors in Westminster abbey, the gov
ernment bearing all the expenses of
the elaborate funeral.
