AUTOMATIC SCALES
NOW POPULAR IN
GERMAN EMPIRE
LONDON, England.—The automa
tic weighing machine, once a toy or
an instrument of amusement, is now
a necessity of life in Germany, ac
cording to Dr. Keicke, the assistant
mayor of Berlin. In a speech there
recently he remarked:
“We have all lost in weight under
our war rations. For this reason
every one now feels the necesity of
weighing himself from time to time
on the automatic weighing machine.
In the old days people resorted to
them as a joke, a sort of holiday
amusement for passing the time.
Crowds now use them where one per
son used them before. The jocular
man who used to announce that he
was growing fat has given place to
the mournful individual who registers
the number of pounds he has lost
since last month.
“The weighing machine has be
come one of our most intimate and
necessary daily associates.”

LIVE “CORPSE”
BITES OFFICER
ON ONE FINGER
SlOl’X CITY. Iowa.—As Police
man (»eorge Fallon attempted to
straighten the body of Carl Stone,
who was thought to have taken poi
son, the supposed corpse arose and
bit the officer on a finger in a most
lifelike manner, attempted to bite
another policeman and then escaped.
Stone is a barber, and lives at S21
Pearl street. Domestic troubles dur
ing the day culminated in a quarrel.
Stone left the room, telling his wife
he “would leave her to the tender
mercies of the cruel world.” A few
minutes later his wife discovered
him lying in an adjacent room. An
empty flask lay on the floor near by.
The police hurried to the scene.
The police surgeon and an ambulance
had been sent for. A call had been
sent to a hospital to prepare for a
poison victim.
The policemen decided to move
the body to a cot. When last seen
the “corpse" had crossed the Seventh
street bridge.
“Squirrel whisky." said the police.
and returned to headquarters.

I CZAR OF KACHEMAK BAY, NOW
WITH US, HAS CURE FOR SALMON
At the present time Seward has
the honor of entertaining, one Michael
Piscus Doyle, M. K. C. and C. K P..
a literal translation of these titles
being Mayor of the Kish Camp, and
Czar of Kachemak Pay.
In the old days when Pop Anson
was a kid and before the big
trees Started to grow on (irays Har
bor, Mickey was a ball player and
as ball players went in “them days”
he was considered some ball player
too. anti among the real old fans
| such as Datl Tolman and Uncle Joe
Wilson, the later day game has the
only rival that Anchorage has on the
Inlet.
Mickey has been making a tour of
the various Camps on the Arm to
give the national pastime the double
“O” and incidently to spread a bit
of fish among the true believers and
see what can be done in the line of
introducing the great ami only Doyle
Miled Cured Salmon, put up under
the Doyle process, in the Doyle fac
tory at Doylesmere on the Arm. For
the past two years Mr. Doyle has been
making a close study of putting up
tish for the market. He has been try
ing to discover some method where
by the juicy king salmon can be cur
ed without salting or smoking or in
any way distroying the delicious
flavors of the natural fish, and at
the same time retaining the natural
food values and now at last his dream
seems to have come true and the de
sired result obtained. The only pos
sible obstacle that now remains is
whether or not the finished product
will stand shipping, and that will be
demonstrated soon. If king salmon
of the type that the sample that now
reposes or did repose in the Doyle
war bag will stand shipping without
deteriorating or moulding. Old Man
high cost of living is due to drawj
one of the hardest jolts in his check
er^ career. It is possible to market
the product at a retail price of not
to exceed four bits per pound, and one
pound of the Doyle brand salmon is
equal to six pounds of tenderloin
i steak, to five and three quarters
pounds of roast mutton, to thirteen
pounds of whale meat, to seven and
, three quarters pounds of Oregon
cream cheese, and contains as much
! nourishment as a sack of potatoes
or an oil can full of beans. It is un
excelled in its present condition for
cold lunches makes a delicious salad
when mixed with a trifle of mayonaise
and can be fried, baked, boiled or
broiled, or prepared in any manner
on which the fresh lish is ordinarily
prepared.
Manager Roberts of the San Juan
Fish Company to whom a sample of
the new lish product was shown is
very enthusiastic over it and stated
that if it will stand shipping, the sale
of the entire available output at a
good price is an assured fact.
Mr. Doyle will be in Seward for a
few days looking after his business
interests and will then depart for his
home to make further experiments
along similar lines. While in Sew
ard he has promised Manager Hoben
of the local ball tossers to again don
the spangles and will appear in the
Seward lineup.
