WHALING SEASON IS
ON AT WESTWARD
Seattle,—According to advices rc- j
ceivod from Akutan, Alaska ,tlie
whaling season in that district has |
opened with a rush, all indications
pointiug to a big summer for the in
dustry. In the number of whales i
killed and the quantity of oil obtain
ed, the season at present is one month |
ahead of the record this time last
year.
The Pacific Seaproducts Company |
of Seattle maintains a large station
at Akutan as a base for the operation
of its steam whalers Unimak and Kod
iak and the oil-storage barge Fresno.
The company sends the barge down
to Seattle when she has a full cargo
of oil. Last year she had a full car
go bv the middle of July. This season
the company expects to have her load
ed to capacity by the middle of .Tune.
On the voyage to Seattle the Fres
no will be towed 1 y the tug G'oliah
of the Puget Sound Tug Boat com
pany.
The tug will probably leave Seattle
for Akutan next week . After dis
charging her whale oil, the Fresno
will return to Akutan. taking ship
ments of fuel oil and otiier supplies
for the station_Seattle Times.

evening for his cabin at Louie
Belnev’s wood camp on the Thirty

That Alaskans get vvliat they want
if they have to send to the other
side of the world for it, is shown by
Hie following, tnken from tbe Seattle
P.-T, of May 24th: The first ship
ment, of New Zeland apples received
on this market during the year was
immediately transthipped to Alaska
points, where the demand for good
keeping apples is keen. There were
150 boxes in the lot, and the sale
was made by Western avenue jobbers
at $2.50 per box. The fruit ran from
113 to 225 apples :o the box, and will
survive any extenled time shipment
to which it may be subjected. The
flavor, color and size resembled the
Washington Roman Beauty, although
the best product tf New Zealand is an
apple resembling the local Delicious,
which sells at $3 per box. The New
Zeland fall fruit harvest Is well on,
and the apples tlere have the keep
ing qualities of the Washington
grown product at the same time of
the year.

The steamship Corwin of Seattle,

roadstead late in the day, marking the
first arrival from Seattle this year.
When the Corwin was held fast in
the ice eight miles from Nome, men
with a dog team, sled and boat set
out over the ice from Nome to at
tempt to try to take off the 10G pns
mrigers who embarked on tbe Carwin

wns unnecessary, however, as tbe
Corwin was able to make port under
her own steam. The vessel dropped
her anchors at the edge of the shore
ice, which extended a mile nut from
land. The gang plank was lowered
to the ice, and the weary travelers
trooped down on the ice. where scores

WALKING FOR HEALTH.
The Pedometer Habit Is a Splendid One
to Cultivate.
A famous New York doctor was call
ed upou some months ago by a patient
who presented an appearance of Ill
ness, but with whom he could find
nothing the matter. Questioning dis
closed the fact that he had not taken
regular physical exercise for years.
■‘That’s your trouble,” remarked the
wise physician. “I’ll write you a pre
scription.” When he got outside the
office tho patient opened the bit of pa
per and read, "Get a pedometer and
bring it back to me in three weeks
with the indicator pointing to TOO
miles." When the patient returned at
the time mentioned the doctor, without
making an examination, told him ho
need not come back any more. Ills
looks demonstrated the efficacy of the
treatment. But he was counseled to
persevere In keeping the pedometer
busy and thereby save many n doc
tor’s fee.
There are Imaginative patients, most
of whose troubles may be traced to
the "thermometer habit” They are
constantly taking their temperature,
and their feelings are regulated by
their discoveries. A splendid substi
tute Is tlie "pedometer habit” Instead
of continually fussing to keep his tem
perature below 100, for instance, the
possessor of one of these clever con
trivances can try bow long it takes to
send the pedometer above that figure.
Lots of fun is to be obtained from as
certaining distances between various
points by walking them. Incidentally
the liver gets a good shaking up, the
lungs receive the fresh air for the lack
of which they have been starving, and
the enthusiastic pedestrian feels a new
joy of living. It is not convenient for
all to play that most excellent of pas
times—golf. But the pedometer game
is available to most, and It renders in
teresting what is, after all, a rather
monotonous form of exercise.—Pitts
burgh Gazette-Times.

—no lifting of a heavy carriage hut simply shifting the light

No fingers can move too fast for this machine—there isn't one
