A professor of astronomy at the
University of Washington delivered a
lecture in Seattle the other day tell
ing the folks whither the earth is
drifting, and a reporter for the I’ost
Intelligencer hied hack to the office
and recorded the prediction thus:
Apparently, all is ofT!
This little old battle-scarred earth,
a mere clay marble among the bil
liard balls of the great solar system,
is headed for the giant sun. Vega, and i
humping itself at a gait of MO.000.-:
#00 miles a year!
But there is no justification for -
an instant desire to get oft anti walk.
We need not worry about what will
happen when our speedy little sphere
reaches its present destination, it will
be our descendants of 180.000,000
years hence that will be yelling for a ’
transfer to some other line. And ev- ,
en when that time comes there is a
possibility that Vega will be side-step
ped or ducked, so we can whiz right

SOME OLD HEALTH FALLACIES
Surgeon Blames Women, Especially
Mothers, for Keeping Infectious
Diseases Going the Rounds.
“If T were asked who keep infec
tious disease going my reply would
he most emphatically women in gen
eral. hut chiefly the mothers." Thi
hard saying cam*- from a noted Fitg
llsh surgeon who was addressing i
gathering of women. Tin* new Idea • *.
public health was his topic, I'ontintt
lug. he said :
"One is horrified to «ih*erve the pro
found ignorance that prevails even
among clever and cultivated people a*
regard* tin* true nature and treatment
of disease. For instance, you will find
numerous persons nf your acquaint
ance who *?ill h«tje\e that rubbing the
eyelids with a gold wedding ring will
cure a stye, and th. t piercing the ears
strengthens the vision: that lunatics
are affected by the phases of the
moon ; that consumption is hereditary ;
that ih«* application of red flannel ( •
must he red) cures *ore throat, and
that a raw beefsteak i* good for a
black eye; that prick* from rusty nails
••a11*c lockjaw, and that the swallow
ing of grape *tones *els up appendi
citis. finally, licit measles and other
children's «Ii*. -a**** are inevitable and
that the *ooncr one i* ‘through with
them’ the better, and that, on that nc
count. it is both useless and unneces
sary to endeavor to segregate the oth
er children when once a case occurs
in a house.”
At the Tombs of the Kings.
A Syrian in:tid dipped her water Jar

"As 1 suspected. Why not go to Hie

"The Journey is long and I have

The maid laughed. Whoever heard

V ALDEZI
The town of valdez
is situated at the head of
Prince William Sound,
and is a city of probably one thou
sand population. It is the center
of the mining industry on the!
Sound, both copper and gold, and
is adjacent to and within easy
hauling distance of the salmon
grounds, many fresh water rivers
and streams in Valdez Bay bring-:
ing the fish in great numbers tOj
within sight of the town. The■
city has one good cannery, which
will operate two lines the coming J
season, employing probably one I
hundred and fifty persons.
The city offers good opportuni- j
ties for a fish saltery, a fertilizer
factory, a glue factory, a tin can
factory and a box shook factory,
all subsidiary to the fish packing
business. The city owns its own!
wharf and the Valdez Dock Com
pany, which also owns a splendid
wharf is willing to give prospec
tive investors a chance for sites.
VALDEZ has a progressive
citizenry, with good high schools,
churches, free reading room and
library, good clubrooms and many
lodges and organization*. Rents
are very cheap, and living is but
little higher than in the States.
Many gold and copper mines
are contiguous to Valdez, making
this city their outfitting port, and
drawing from its reserve of labor.
The climate is very healthful, the
extremes of heat and cold being
rarely experienced. The mercury
rarely falls below —15 in the win
ter and 70 above is the highest
summer temperature. The sum
mers are delightful and the win
ters far better than those of the
Northern Central or Eastern
States.
VALDEZ is the coast terminal
of the government military high
way to the Interior. During the
summer months autos may reach
Fairbanks from Valdez in 36
hours running time, over a fine
road, through the most magnifi
cent scenery on the North Amer
ican continent. In winter teams
or dog sleds may be had at all
times.
VALDEZ has a number of first
class hotels and restaurants, and
the traveler and miner can be as
sured of comfortable lodgings
a minimum expense. Parties de
siring to outfit for mining or pros
pecting can do so at our stores
far cheaper than in the States,
with men of experience to help se
lect their outfits.
If you are coming to Alaska
the Land of Opportunity, and de
sire a good home town among a i
fine class of citizens, buy your
ticket to
VALDEZ:
