WHAT WK OWE WEATHER.
1 wonder what we should feel
like if the weather were always
the same? J believe we are not
half grateful enough to the inter
-est which the weather puts into
our lives. We may grumble and
call it inconstant, yet it is this
very inconstancy and changefulness
which provides us with an endless
variety of thought and feeling.

by said State, four hundred thous
and acres; for the benefit of agri
cultural colleges and schools of
mines, to be hereafter located by
said State, four hundred thousand
acres; for the benefit of State nor
mal schools, to be hereafter locat
ed by said State, three hundred
thousand acres; for the benefit of
schools of forestry, to be here
after located by said State, two
hundred thousand acres. The lands
granted by this section shall be
selected by the State' by officials
authorized by the State by law as
soon after the admission of the
State as is practicable, and said
selections as soon as made shall
be certified to the Secretary of the
Interior, and the lands so selected
shall be thereupon withdrawn from
homestead entry. That in selecting
said lands one-fourth of each grant
shall be selected in each of the
four judicial divisions into which
Alaska is now divided by Acts of
Congress, and the proceeds thereof
shall be used exclusively for the
purposes designated in this sec
tion within the division where the
land is thus selected. The lands so
selected under the provisions of
this section may be appraised and
sold by the State of Alaska, but
before any sale thereof the lands
shall be appraised, and if sold
shall only be sold at public sale
in one hundred and sixty acre tracts
or less, under such additional rules
and regulations as the legislature
of the State may prescribe. No
more than three hundred and twen
ty acres of such land shall be
sold to any one person, association,
or corporation, and the legislature
of the State may provide addi
tional restrictions governing such
sales, and any sale made in viola
tion of this provision or such ad
ditional restrictions shall be null
and void for fraud. The proceeds
of said sales shall be turned into
the State treasury for the uses de
clared in this section, and until
used the said funds may be in
vested in National, State, or muni-,
cipal securities and none other, and
the interest added to the principal
sum shall be used for the purposes

BELIEVED EXPLORER
OFFICER OF AURORA HOPES
TO RETURN AND PICK UP
PARTY LEFT ON SHORE.
DUNEDIN, N. Z., April 8.—On
arrival of the Aurora here, J. It.
Stenhouse, the first officer who
brought the vessel from Itoss sea.
expressed confidence that Sir Er
nest Shacklcton had succeeded in
making his trip across the pole.
In explaining the circumstances in
which the Aurora broke adrift, ho
said:
“It. might look as if we were run
ning away to save our hides, but
as a matter of fact the ship was
so buckled by her six weeks’ pres
sure from the ice that the ship’s
party were on the point of aban
doning her ard senc.ing a ' hpless
message tc* 'ha king request :,g that
a relief expedition be sen, ■ <ri
she managed to get clear, ft was
a sad home-coming, but it was ut
terly impossible for the ship to be
of any use in her condition. I hope
to return/with the same per
sonnel and to pick up the parties
left ashore.”
Mr. Stenhouse said they had tak
en enough hawsers and anchors to
moor a battleship, but they snap
ped like threads in the blizzard.
“As our ship drifted away,” he
said, "we could see plainly the
lights in the little hut occupied by
the landing parly.”
Tor some time the explorers
lived on what they were able to
kill, mainly seals aned penguins
thcir provisions just holding out.

executive clemency and has com
muted the sentence of 0. Itow from
