i DOUBT ABOUT
NOBLE SUICIDE
—
Nome Woman Had Spent Her Moth
er’s Money and Rather Than
Tell of Loss Suicides.
SEATTLE, Nov. 17.—No doubt
now remains regarding the suicide of
Cornelia Noble, the Nome woman
who shot herself last Friday night at
the Seattle hotel. An investigation
by the police revealed the fact that
the woman had spent thousands of
dollars entrusted to her by her aged
mother, and rathei than tell of this
loss she blew out her brains.
The body will be buried today by
her relatives.
To Toot ■ Diamond.
Place in a glass of water. An
imitation diamond will blend with
the water and become almost in
visible, while a real diamond will
be distinctly visible, shining out
brightly in the water. Dry and clean
the stone and on the flat side put a
drop of water. On the real diamond
the water will hold its globular
form and can be led around with a
pin point. The drop placed on an
imitation diamond will spread. Ex
amine the stone under a magnifying
glass. The facets of a false gem
are even and regular; on a genuine
stone they are of various sizes.—

Evidence Against Him.
“1 am proud to say,’' said the
man with the loud voice, “that I
have never made a serious mistake
in my life.’’
“But you arc mistaken,’" said the
mild mannered man with the schol
arly stoop. “You have made one
very serious mistake.”
“T’d like to know where you get
vour authority for saying so.”
“Your declaration is evidence
that you have never tried to see
vourself as others see you.”—Ex
change.
Some Velocities.
The velocity of sound depends to
some extent upon the temperature
of the atmosphere. When the tem
perature is 32 degrees sound travels
1.090 feet a second and one addi
tional foot a second for each addi
tional degree of temperature. Free
electricity, it is said, travels 288,000
miles a second. Over a wire where
there is no resistance it travels at
the rate of 192.924 miles a second
