Post-Intelligencer Sends Man
From Seward to Make Report
on New Camp.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer
of Sept. 18 contains a story of
the new strike made at the head
waters of the Ta/.lina river. The
information is practically the
same as was published in I lie
Prospector in the interview with
Milo Kelly. The Post-Jutelligen
cer has sent a man in from Sew
ard to make a report on the
camp and have oll'ered him a
good price for the news.
The Post-intelligencer still
has faith that the Chisana will
make a earnp and gives promi
nence to news from that section,
while the Seattle Times is knock
ing the camp and believes it a
fake. A recent issue of the Times
printed a big headline across the
paper in red announcing that
hundreds were starving as a re
sult of I tie stampede, which was
a fake.
Mr. Frank Colter, of Seward,
who has gone to the new camp
for the Post-Intelligencer* is re
liable and has been in placer
mining camps before. He was
in Fairbanks for years and was
one of the best posted newspaper
men there on conditions on the
creeks. His report will be of in
terest. lo all Alaskans.

Surveying |hq bilijoof of miles to1
t st4r woulcl bo art fimpossible feat
:o the ordinary person, who is per
iaps not a mathematician. Even
:he astronomer may make a mistake
if a billion miles or so.
The first requisite is a basis of
calculation. For this the astronomer
rakes the spot where his observatory
stood in tjie month of March and
its place in September. It* is the
same location on earth, of course,
but in celestial space—the earth
iiaving traveled halfway around
the sun—the distance is 186,000,000
miles. With this as the base of a
triangle the astronomer, by a sim
ple calculation, computes the open
ing of the angle where the star is
situated and then finds the distance
to the earth—that is, he could do so
accurately if the 186,000,000 miles
Were proportionately long with the
two other sides of the triangle in
stead of being almost inadequately
short.
Some idea of the method may be
gained from its employment for
land measuring. The distance to a
mountain top is desired. The sur
veyor lays off a few hundred yards
on the ground, finds the angles at
which straight lines proceed from
this basis of measurement to the
mountain top and then solves the
problem easily. To ascertain the
distance to the moon a very long
line is needed—one drawn between
two observatories will do—not along
the earth’s surface, which is round,
but the straight line through the
earth, from observatory to observa
tory. With this line a triangle is
drawn, with the moon at the vertex,
and the satellite found to be 240,000
miles away.
in maxing a iriangie wuu a suu
astronomers have had recourse to
the longest line possible to earth
lings—between the aforementioned
points located by the extremes of
the earth’s orbit. If a star were
only a trillion miles off a 180,000,
000 mile shift in the position of the
earth would afford quite an advan
tage for a look at the other cheek,
yet it makes hardly an appreciable
distance in the relative position
with the nearest star, Alpha Cen
tauri, 20,000,000,000,000 miles be
yond.
Now, the arc of a circle i6 divided
into 3G0 degrees, each subdivided
into 00 minutes and the minute
into 00 seconds. So there are 1,290,
000 seconds in a circle. The angle
that Alpha Centauri makes is less
than the millionth part of a circle.
It is about three-quarters of a sec
ond of the arc. Imagine the angle—
a line drawn from the star to the
earth in March, another line from
the star to the earth in September.
The base of this triangle is 180,
000,000 miles, which constitutes
less than the millionth part of a cir
cle iu measurement of the angle
where shines Alpha Centauri. This
is hard to detect with the finest of
mathematical instruments, and that
is why the distance to even the near
est star is a vexing problem.—Har

One Vote Makes History.
A correspondent of the Richmond
Virginian relates a story of how a
squealing pig, caught in a fence on
a Rhode Island farm, brought on
the war of 1812, elected Andrew
Jackson president arid destroyed
the Bank of the United States. The
pig delayed a Whig voter and pre
vented him from reaching the polls
in time to vote. The result was the
election of a Democratic legislature
by a majority of one vote, a Demo
cratic senator from Rhode Island
by one vote, a declaration of war
with Great Britain by one vote, the
war resulting eventually in Jack
son’s election as president.
Certified Voters.
In parts of New England during
the seventeenth century voters had
to reside in a “stone house of the
dimensions of twenty feet by six
teen, with one or more brick chim
ney or chimneys.” Each' voter had
also to be certified, by his neighbors
“of sober and peaceable conversa
tion.” In Connecticut every candi
date for the local assembly had to
furnish a certificate from the select
men of the town where he resided
that he was of “quiet and peaceable
behavior and civil conversation.”—
Exchange.
What He Craved.
Mrs. Nagget—Oh, you make me
tired! You’re forever trying to
give the impression that you’re a
martyr. I suppose you want every
body to think that you suffer in
silence because—
Mr. Nagget—No; I suffer in the
perpetual absence of silence. A lit
tle silence occasionally would be a
positive pleasure to me.—Exchange.
Ambiguous.
“Mike, I am going to make you a
present of this pig.”
“Ah, sure, an’ ’tis just like you,
sor!”—Woman’s Home Companion.
