Peart of Two Nations Lie
Side by Side
(Special Correspondence)
Seattle. June 6? Students and those
Interested in the past will hare an
' > opportunity, at the Alaska-Yukon
Pacific Kxpoait'on a*. Seattle in 19C9,
to examine side by side two mammies,
which, although they belong to
different ages, people and portion* of
the world, yet are the most perfect of
their kind that archeologista have yet
discovered.
The wonderful mummies of Egypt
are knowa to every school child; the
no less wonderful mummie* of the
natives of the Aleutian archipelago
have seldom, if ever, been exhibited.
The big exposition that will be open
for the four and a half months succeed
ing the 1st of June, 1909, will have
several Egyptian mummies in iti curio
exbibtion, New York, Philadelphia,
and McGill's College in Canada, each
having some very perfect specimen* of
the royal family of the land of the Nile.
H. A. Bauer of Seattle and Sitka, on
a recent trip to Seattle brought with
him a story of a newly discovered cave
filled with mummies* The c?re 1* on a
small island of the Aleution group, evi
dently a lacred isle, where the ancients
of the northern races buried the great
of their nation. Chiefs, medicine men
and wuch cbarmers, as well as great
warriors were embalmed and iaid In
the sea cave where the dry air kept
them for ages undisturbed. It was the
universal belief among the Bering sea
Indians mat as long as the bodies of
tne warriors were preserved from nat
ural decay their spirits hovered about
the tribe and fought off the evil spirits,
of their hereditary enemies. There are
about 50 mummies In the cave from
whioh Bauer obtained the one now in
the city, and the best of these will be
selected by the commissioners of the
exposition and will be brought to Seat
tle and laid side by side with the mum
mies of the kings who lived in lower
K'ypt before the Parthenon had be n
built on its great hill and before the
wolf that mothered the Roman Empire
had wandered in the forest of the Sev
en Hills.

Mr. Held is accompanied by his wife, 1

Mr.^Keid said In part: "The work is ]
of such a character as appeals to all and |
their visits at the various posts are <
looked forward to with keen antitfipa- !
tion. Apart from the evangelistic fea- ;
ture of the trip, literature of a good
wholesome character Is distributed I
along the river at ail the isolated points, ]
libraries are installed in the larger ?
post* and the men supplied with games, '
materials for correspondence and kind' ;
red features which help so largely to <
make life endurable during the long
winter months. J
"The launch is named after Miss Ilel- <
en Gould, the great American heiress,
who is known the world over as the
"Soldiers' Friend," and is the financial
sponsor for this special work as carried
on in Alaska, though the lauoch itself
was built by friends of the movement j
who have the interest of the work at J
heart." 1

Mrs. Reid, which served as their honey- J
moon, over tJOOO miles were covered, 61 1

there were attacks of headaches and diz
zy spells and often there were specks be
for my eyes. The kidney secretions were
infrequent and containedla sediment. The
relief I, obtained from Doan's Kidney
Pills was very great. I felt bettar after
taking the first box and I now feel in
