Ten Rules for Foretelling Weather.
1. When the temperature falls
suddenly, there is a storm forming
south of -you.
2. When the temperature rises
suddenly there is a storm forming
north of yon.
3. The Wind always blows from a
region of fair weather toward a re
gion where a storm is forming or is
already in progress.
4. Cirrus f fibrous appearance re
sembling cord wood) clouds move
from a region Where a storm is in
progress toward a region of fair
weaither.
5. Cumulous (oonvex masses, pli
ed one upon anotlnor) clouds move
from a region where a storm is form
ing.
6. When cirrus clouds are moving
rapidly from the north or northeast,
there will be rain within twenty-four
hours, no matter how cold it is at
the time.
7. When cirrus clouds are mov
ing rapidly from the south or south
east, there will be a cold rainstorm on
the morrow, if it be in the summer,
or a snowstorm if it be in the win
ter.
S. The wind blows in a circle
round a storm. When it blows from
the north, the storm is heaviest to
the east of you; when it blows from
the south the heaviest rain is to the
west of you; when it blows from the
east, the heaviest rain is south.
9. The wind does not blow unless
rain or snow is falling within 1000
miles of you.
10. Heavy white frosts is evi
dence that a storm is forming within
100 miles north or northwest of you.
Rule eight does not mention the
west wind, but we presume that when
the wind blows from the ^est, the
heaviest rain or snow is to the north
of you.

HEIR TO MILLIONS .
IS IN ANCHORAGE
Among the British officers recently
killed in the battlefield in France
was Captain Jones, a relative of John
W. Minnis, of Anchorage, and heir to
the great Sheffield steel works in
England. Recently letters from Mrs.
Minnis, who is now in Montreal,
stale that division of the estate, val
ued at $25,000,000, has been delayed
until one of the five remaining heirs
can be located or proof of his death
secured. The missing man was the
senior member of the Jones-Ryder
Land Company of Los Angelel, who
in 1909 departed from that city on h
business trip to Mexico and who has
not been heard from since that time.
As he contemplated a trip to Alaska,
members of his family are endeavor
ing to obtain traces of him here.
Mrs. Minnis, who was the widow of
General Lew Wallace, the famous
author of “Ben Hur,” is one of the
five heirs.

Curious Facts.
One out of every four patients in
the New York insane asylums are for
eigners.
Out of 221 men in the breadline
in New York recently only five would
accept work at $1.75 a day.
A Government school teacher in

Ajenses of the court were $15,000.
The Senate Committee on Trans
portation routes to the seaboard has

Talk about economy at Washington!
In 18S7 a Mexican soldier pursued
a Mexican girl across the border into
the United States and dragged her
hack across the line. President
Cleveland sent our army to the bor
der with instructions to go to the
.City of Mexico if necessary and seize
the man who had violated American
territory. Mexico promptly gave up
the offending soldier and he was sent
to prison for 20 years.

The large warehouse building for
the railroad at Anchorage has been

The Specter of Pauperism.
Do you know that In the United
■States -sixty-six out of every hundred
seoplet that die leave no estate what
ever? Do you know that out of the re
maining thirty-four only nine leave es
tates larger than $5,000 and that the
iverage of the balance of twenty-five
Is :n little less than $1,300? Do you
know that at the age of sixty-five nine
ty-seven out of every hundred in Amer
ica are partly or wholly dependent
upon relatives, friends or the public
for their dally bread, for their cloth
ing and a roof under which to sleep?
We all know that the one safeguard
against pauperism by the countries of
Eurdpe has been thrift. France. Ger
many. Belgium. Holland and Switzer
land have been the leaders In thrift
Do you realize that according to gov
ernment statistics 08 per cent of the
American people are living from day
to day on their wages and that a loss
of employment would mean pauperism
for ail but 2 per cent of us?—S. W.
Straus in Leslie’s. •
Curious Shadow Casting.
"Did you ever see a waterfall cast a
shadow?" asked Stephen T. Mather of
the group around the club table. Mr.
Mather, who is assistant to Secretary
Lane in charge of the new development
work which the department of the in
terior is doing “In the national parks,
had just returned from a strenuods
summer among the mountain tops.
"Well, Yosemite falls cast my shadow
very distinctly one uight last August.
I was half a mile or more away, gaz
ing, beauty bound, at tlie effect of tbe
full moon upon these giant falls, which
ire. by the way, as high as sixteen
Niagaras piled one on top of the other.
"The moon was behind mo. of course.
The double falls, shining like silver, lit
brilliantly by reflected light the dense
-■hadows of the trees which hid me
from the moon. Turning. I saw my
shadow outlined vividly upon the
grass.”—Our National Parks.
Ring Life Preserver*.
“Tile worst trouble about a life pre
server." said an old sailor. “Is that
few people know what to do with one
when it’s thrown to them. Many a
man would drown in trying to get a
life preserver over his head. The av
erage person struggling about in the
water would try to lift up the big life
ring and put it over his head. That
only causes the man to sink deeper
and take more water into his lungs.
“The proper way to approach a life
preserver in the water is to take hold
af the side nearest you and press upon
it with all your weight. That causes
the other side to fly up in the air and
down over your head, ‘ringing’ you as
neatly as a man ringing a cane at a
country fair. After that the drowning
man can be rescued.”
Fulton’s Demologa*.
On March 14. 1814. the congress of
the United States appropriated the
sum of $320,000 for the construction of
a war vessel in the shape of a “float
ing battery." designed by Robert Ful
ton. This battery was intended to be a
deadly affair, for it was planned to
shoot scalding water and redhot can
non balls at the enemy. This was the
first steam war vessel built by the
American government She was Chris
tened the Demologas. but after the de
signer’s death her name was changed
to the Fulton in his honor. She was
launched Oct. 29. 1814. but her engine
was not put in until the following May.
By that time the war of 1812 was over,
and the terrible battleship never got a
chance to squirt hot water at the Brit
ish navy.—Argonaut.
Sherlock.
The great detective, laying aside pro
fessional cares for the evening, is at
tending a dance. Introduced to a beau
tiful woman, he asks her to dance with
him. and she graciously consents.
“You have been married several
years.” he murmurs after a couple
rounds of the floor.
“How could you guess that?” she
asks. “I am not wearing my wedding
ring. Do I look like a married
woman?”
“Not at all.” he replies gallantly.
•But I knew you were married the mo
ment we started to dance. You at
once began doing the leading.”—Judge.
Somewhat Diffaraat.
"This question whether a word
should have its adverbial or its adjec
tive form seems to me to have little
to do with the sense. Now, what is
the difference between talking loud
and talking loudly?"
“No difference." replied the pedagog
ical friend. “But look here. For a
large fee you give legal advice freely,
but you don't give it free. I think
that frill retain you for awhile.”
Sticking to His Post.
• With but three minutes to catch his
train the traveling salesman inquired
of the street car conductor, “Can't you
go faster than this?”
“Yes,” the bell ringer replied, “but 1
have to stay with my car.’’—Harper's
Magazine.
Truo Friendship.
That friendship only is indeed gen
uine when two friends, without speak
ing a word to each other, can never
theless find happiness in being togeth
er.—George Eliot.
Two of a Kind.
First Frosh—My father has a fine
cedar chest. Second Frosh—'Snothlng.
