Let’s “tie the animal outside’’ and proceed
to do another “careful investigation.’’

HEART STRAIN.
Unusual Exertion May Cauao It, and
80 May a Fit of Tamper.
To keep your temper is ratber a
good Idea, said Dr. Strickland Goodall
In a lecture at the Institute of Hygiene.
Every time the heart contracts, be said,
Its force would raise a weight of two
pounds to the height of one foot, and
It does this from 70 to 140 times every
minute.
Acute heart strain was difficult to
produce In a young, well nourished and'
healthy adult, but It was very easy to
produce if the heart muscle was an
aemic or poisoned or was the seat of
degenerative disease
Running to catch a train Increased
the heart’s work by 228 foot pounds a
minute. Ascending a staircase slowly
Increased the heart’s work by 112 foot
pounds; ascending quickly by 162 foot
pounds.
The enormous amount of total extra
work done by the heart was shown in
the experiment of riding a bicycle up
bill, the gradient of which was one In
ten and the length 2£04 feet. The ride
occupied three and one-half minutes,
and the total extra work done by the
heart was no less than one and one
eighth foot tons.
A rest of half an hour dally would
save In a year 219,000 foot pounds of
work on the heart—London Chronicle
OUR LOPSIDED BODIES.
Legs, Arm*, Hand* and Ear* Are Rare
ly Perfectly Matched.
“I venture to assert that If you meas
ure the legs of every one In this court
you will not find a person who has a
pair of equal length,” said Dr. O. W.
Cooke In giving evidence In a London
court
The human body Is not symmet
rical. as Is commonly believed,” said a
widely known doctor. The legs vary
In length and circumference, and the
arms as well. The right band Is usual
ly bigger than the left because it Is
nsed more. The bead Is by no means
regular In form—In fact It Is often as
not lopsided.
The left leg Is generally a little
longer than the right presumably to
counteract the overbalancing effect on
the body of the right arm. which Is
usually somewhat heavier and longer
than the left since ninety-five out of
every hundred people use their right
arm more than their left The eyes,
too, are nearly always different both
In shape and strength, and through
sleeping more on one side than another
every man’s ears are tilted at different
angles. Feet too, are nearly always
unlike In shape, due frequently to the
wearing of ill fitting boots.—London
Mirror.
An Old English Custom.
In the northern counties of England
there was practiced at Easter up to
at least half a century ago the curious
custom of "lifting." It may still exist
I have before me, writes a correspond
ent a newspaper cutting of 1860, giving
an account by an indignant commer
cial traveler of the ritual to which he
was subjected on Easter Tuesday by
the maids of a hotel at Crewe. He
was placed In a chair, lifted three
times and kissed by the merry revel
ers. It appeared that a like privilege
might have been his for the exercis
ing on Easter Monday—a privilege
which absence made Impossible. There
Is a remonstrance of a century earlier
by a man who was treated by the
maid! of the Talbot Inn, Shrewsbury,
In a similar fashion, but who In ad
dition had to pay a fee.—London Chron
icle,
Worry and 8elfiahna«a.
Worry, when yon come to analyze It,
Is not a social vice. We work chiefly
over those things which concern the
“ma” Show me that what Impends will
leave my bank account Intact, my
health Impaired, my friends and fam
ily out, and any further tormenting
solicitude that I may feel is frankly
academic. I may still take thought and
use preventive measures, but I cease
as If by magic to worry over the out
coma On the contrary, 1 can now
work for the accomplishment of my
object better than ever before, for
most worry Is not only an arch form of
selfishness, but It Is the great Inhibitor
of action. We say ”1 am worried;” we
mean “I fear for myself.”—Elliott Park
Frost In Atlantic.
8oott and His Seorstary.
Sir Walter Scott’s amanuensis and
much esteemed friend, Willy Laldlaw,
often found It difficult to keep up with
the rapidity of hla dictation, though on
one occasion, having to wait for a sec
ond or two, be said. "Come, get on,"
and was answered, "Ob, aye, It Is very
easy for yon, Willy, to say ’Get on,'
but you forget 1 have every word to
spin out of my brain.”—T. P.’s Week
ly, Loudon.
Knew More Than Pa.
“Say, pa, wbnt was tbe longest day
In Adnm’s life?”
"I am sure I don’t know.”
"But, pu, you are a minister.”
“I can’t answer any such”—
"I ran. It was the day on wblcb
there was no Eve.”—Grit
A Broken Promise.
“Did she promise to obey?”
“That was In the marriage piatforrn.
I understand, but when she found bow
easy he was to boss sbe rescinded It.”
—Detroit Free Press.

George R. Goshaw
To the Voters of the Third Division:
As it is impossible for me at this time, owing to the close
of the mining and business season at this placer camp, to
come before you in person, I find it necessary to make
this announcement through the medium of the press.
I desire your vote for Senator to the Territorial
legislature, from the Third Division, at the
Election on Tuesday, November the Third.
My friends have not urged me to seek this office, nor
does the office seek me, I SEEK THE OFFICE, and I want
your support and vote.
I am solely responsible for my candidacy, and have
made no pledges or promises to any individual, party or
concern, and if elected will go to Juneau, absolutely unham
pered with ties of any kind; to do that which will advance
the interests of the whole people of Alaska:—not to go there
and vote “aye and nay” during the session, but to work
with a will and a knowledge of affairs, gained from a con
siderable experience, especially in this Division, and con
tinue such work, throughout the year and the entire term
of office. , . ,
If you feel that you can NOT honestly and sincerely
cast your ballot for any of the other candidates for this
office, THEN VOTE FOR ME. Yours very truly,
Chisana, Alaska, Sept. 1, 1914. GEORGE R. GOSHAW.
