—To get a sample of plain and

Prison Song” to J. A. Romine,
King County jailer.
The reason is that he is still
the butt of the village cut-ups
over the escape of Preston Boze
man and Alfred Lopez who lock
ed him in their cell, pried a
screen off the jail and went
right away from that place, un
noticed.

This winter’s earthquakes have
crumbled the foundations of one
of the government’s northern
most ligthouses, at Cape Hinchen
brook in Alaska.
In announcing plans for a
new one there, the lighthouse
service said the rock base of the
old one had been shattered, but
depite the imminent danger of
its toppling over, a light was still
maintained.

HUGE PORPOISE
FILLS VICTIM TO
KETCHIKAN FISHERMAN
Ketchikan people were recent
ly given a chance to view a -big
porpoise which had been caught
by a Ketchikan fisherman and
which wras placed on display in
the Tongass Trading Co., reports
the Tribune, of that city.
It isn’t often that one has an
opportunity to study a porpoise
at close range so everybody who
passed stopped to exclaim at the
beauty of its body and shiny
black back that looked like it
had just received a coat of lac
quer.
The animal was over five feet
long and weighed 300 pounds
The head had a short nozzle
with no beak and had a blow-hole
between two small eyes. Each
jaw had about 40 or 50 sharp
teeth. The under part of the
body was white and the upper,
glossy black. This skin is a half I
inch thick and makes good leath
er. Shoe strings are made of it.
The porpoise swums high in
the water rushing along at top
speed. They cannot swim very
long under water; they have to
come up for air and make a
great noise in discharging and
taking in air, which is the'ori
gin of the expression “blowing
like a portoise.”

The KOHLER Automatic'
produces 110-volt current
The Kohler Automatic Power and Light Plant produces
standard 110-volt electricity, and therefore allov.% you to
use the same standard electric light bulbs and appliances
used in cities. These appliances are available everywhere
and cost less than those of lower voltage.
Coupled with this advantage of the Kohler Automatic is
the feature of “no storage batteries. ’ ' This does away with
the trouble and expense of maintaining a large bank of
glass-cell storage batteries. The only battery used with
the Kohler Automatic is a small, automobile-type, for
starting the engine.
Thus the Kohler Automatic gives you all the advantages
of city electricity with the same convenience—simply
turn any button on the circuit and you have electricity
for power or light. Send for illustrated booklet. Come in
and see the plant in operation. *
