ROCK WRITINGS
IN WASHINGTON
MOST HISTORIC
Spokane: Artie Explorer Stefan - j
sson, who is here on a lecture tonr
pronounced the rock writings
near Spokane, not Runic but ina-1
de by a prehistoric race antida—
ting the Indians, thousands of
years.
Prof. OlufOpsjon last sum
mer said the writing recorded the
Norse expedition through the
Northwest in !()10.
Stefansson said the “mark—
ings are not similar’to the Runic
as I know them in Iceland, Green
land, and Scandinavia. I am con
vinced however that civilization
| existed in tin* north part of the
continent thousands of years pr
; ior to the present Indian. These
j markings are probably from the
! stone age.

ELECTRIFIED EGGS GOOD
FOR YEARS. ON MAUKET
Liverpool: Electrified eggs, guar
anteed to keep for years and de
signed to aid in keeping down the
cost o' living, have been placed on
the British market.
This invention by which eggs
are sterilized by means of an el
ectrically heated oil bath makes
it possible, it is claimed, to keep
eggs almost indefinitely.
