AN UNPARDONABLE DELAY
Alaskans are a patient people.
| They have learned it in the
.school of adversity. Experience
I has taught them that if they eX
Ip*cl nothing they will not be
'disappointed. But. we are told
that at times patience ceases to
si-e a virtue, and with this in
mir.d we shall again revert lo
the break in the military cable
near Cape Fanshaw, which oc
curred eighteen dSvs ago. Sev
e-r«I days thereafter the United
[States signal corps, the branch
!of the United States army
!which directs the operations of
aides and land lines In Alaska,
dispatched a slow freight craft,
miscalled the “Rapid Transit”
In make the necessary repairs
to the cable. It is stated that
ihis antiquated vessel can
[make, <under favorable circum
: stances, of wind, tides and
[weather, some three knots an
i hour, but we believe that the
steamer is not capable Of mak
ing that rate of speed, excepv
perhaps in a spurt. Any fair
jto-middling w indjammer would
distance her in a calm. The
ioi.l tub. too. has met with mis
i fortune, but that was to be ex
j peeled; and someone must
[lave jobbed the signal corps
[when fhe Rapid Transit was
chartered as a cable repair ship!
If il were not so serious a mat
i f«= r for so many people, who
[daily make use of the cable
| service, it would be to laugh!
j because of the joke that ha*
'•cen played on the cable offi
cials;
It ha- been pointed out sever
al times that there is a cable
repair ship called the Burnside
'he maintenance of which is
••barged to the Alaska cable and j
military telegraph lines. But
this ship -eemi to need repairs :
i.: frequently as the cables, ;
which she is supposed to re - ]
pair. Her case seems to be •
chronic. When needed she is j
out of commission, hence the
chartering of the ancient Rapid
Transit, in the meantime bus
iness interests of Juneau and,
this section suffer through
what cun be nothing elr»e than j
cross indifference or gfloss neg!
ligence. or both, of the United.
Stales signal corps with head
Giarter- in Sealtle.
In the meantime -the people
who suffer must cdhlain their,
souls with as much patience as
•hey can rcmmanit, trusting to
bine and tide and the conven
hence of the -signal corps with
the help of the Rapid Transit to
repair a cable break that should
have been completed within a
week after it was reported.

Buying Vermis Observing.
To boy wisely baa Its true satlaffee
9ou. but Just "buying" seems to have
irresistible attraction tor tbe human
mind. We were spending a golden
hour at the top of a great headland.
Par below the aea showed opal color
and rtolet light The clay of the cliff
ranged In tone from black, through
red. blue and yellow, to n creamy
white: patches of aweet fern and deli
cate grasses grew In the crannies, glow
ing green, giving accent and harmony
to the whole. Far below, the line of
the golden bench, the white curl of
tbe surf, were like poetry and music,
and yet among the people who Jour
neyed that day to enjoy a fair place
only a few bad time to go oat on the
cliffs and revet In color and beauty,
because at a neat little Stall there waa
a collection of perishable souvenirs for
‘ sale, and so great was tbe demand for
them that the buyers had no time to
feast their eyes elsewhere—a proof
that purchasing Is more Interesting to
tbe majority than observing.—Elisa
beth C. Billings In Atlantic Monthly.
Daredevil Photography.
A naval photographer gets many
duckings and. after a time, takes them
as a matter of course. Being thrown
Into the see isn't considered by him
at all a serious event It Is daring
battleship practice that he encounters
grave dangers, fo^ much of the work
done at this time la from tbe tope of
the fighting masts, which are at an
elevation of 120 feet above the aea.
During different practices I have taken
my position In these masts In order to
get detailed pictures. Once In these
hasket-llke tops the question Is how to
“stick." The gunfire photographs It
self. I suppose yon wonder what 1
mean, but It la Just this: Every time
the big twelve inch guns fire the aw
ful concussion they cause invariably
gives tbe snap to tbe abutter of the
camera, and the exposure la made.—
E. Muller. Jr.. In St Nicholas.
Odd Bankruptcy Proceedings.
They bad a peculiar way of going
Into bankruptcy among tbe Marawarla
In India, now unhappily giving way to
the less picturesque method of the
white man. When a man could not
pay bis bills he would summon his
creditors. They were ushered Into a
room In which the thakur, or house
hold god. was enshrined, but covered
up with e cloth and with the face
turned to the wall In order that It
might not witness tbe scene that was
to follow. The Insolvent would then.
In garb of mourning, lie on tbe floor,
presenting bis back to bis creditors,
who on a given signal would fall on
him with shoes and slippers and bela
bor him till their wrath was exhaust
ed. The beating finished, honor waa
declared to be satisfied all around.—
Calcutta Journal.
Quaint 8igne In Paru.
An Indian custom which adds a pic
turesque touch to the roadsides be
tween Cuzco and Machn Picchu, In
Peru, Is the presence of quaint signs
Indicating what Is for sale In the In
dian bats. A small bunch of wheat or
barley tied on the end of a pole and
stock out In front of the but indicates
that there la chicha (a native corn
beer) for sale within. A bunch of
flowers on the end of a pole also has
the same significance. A green wreath
means that there Is bread for sale,
while a piece of white doth or white
paper waring In the breeze Indicates
that the wayfarer may here purchase !
aguardiente, a powerful white rum
made of cane Juice and containing a
large percentage of raw alcohol.—Ar
gonaut
"Galley West"
The phrase "he knocked everything
galley west" Is credited to the United
States by Webster’s Dictionary. It has
really a far wider extent and there is
no reason to credit It to this or any
other solid land. It had Its beginning
In sailor English, essentially a migra
tory dialect of extent as wide as the
unending sea. Galley west or. In Its
full form, galley west and crooked,
means blgglety ptggety, all In confu
sion. It has the same sense of dis
ordered direction as appears In other
locations In sailor English, such as
"Paddy's hurricane—straight up and
down the mast’’—and “Tox Cox’s
traverse—twice around the scuttle butt
and once around the mast**—St Louis
Times.
