WHY —»
People Do Vote for Different
Parties and Leaders
Scientists of the Carnegie institute
at Washington conducted • learned
investigation into the question of why
people of superior Intelligence and
with the same high purpose of pro
moting good government vote for dif
ferent parties aud candidates. Of
course, says Pathfinder Magazine, it is
hard for an enthusiastic partisan to
admit that the person supporting an
opposing candidate is Intelligent, pa
triotic or even honest. But it la
true, and even the excited partisan will
concede it after he has cooled down.
It may he added that voters do not
always agree with themselves. Some
few start out in support of one can
didate and switch to another in ths
course of the race. There is such a
mixture of influence—reason, heredity,
training, environment, prejudices, per
sonalities, words aud deeds, emotion
—pulling at every person that it is
hard to understand the result, or to
explain why members of the same fam
ily often differ.
The scientists tried an experiment of
having several thousand persons taste
an identical chemical. Some pro
nounced It bitter, others sour, sweet,
salty, and even tasteless. It was also
found that some people cannot smell
the odor of a skunk. So It was con
cluded that different persons see,
taste, smell and view the same things
differently.
Why French King Bridge
Is Given Unusual Name
During the French and Indian war,
a party of French and Indians came
down the Connecticut river on a scout
ing expedition, their object being to
spy out the most desirable point to
launch an attack at a later time. The
party w’as under the command of s
French olilcer. They reached the vicin
ity of a rock as the shades of night
appeared. Being of no mind to attempt
the passage of the rapids Just below
the rock in the dark, they made camp
on tile western bank opposite It. The
rock being t he most conspicuous ob
ject which had attracted his notice, the
officer wished to mention It In his re
port and tlx it as something which
might be referred to In the futre; hence
he staged a ceremony by lighting an
altar tire on its top, sprinkled it with
water of the river, and christened
it French King In honor of his sov
ereign. The set-back from the dam at
Turner Falls now covers all but the
top of the rock. It may be seen from
the upstream side of the bridge and
has been known for years as French
King rock; hence, French King bridge.
Why Engines Puff
An engine puffs, cboo, clioo, choo,
choo, because the steam Is exhausted
from the cylinders at each stroke of
the pistons. The Bteam, Its work
done, Is sent Into that section of the
railroad engine known as the exhaust
nozzle, and so out through the smoke
stack. The fact also accounts for the
reason one sometimes feels light
moisture coming from the smoke.
Were It not for the presence of steam
with the smoke, there would be no
noise and no choo-choo, and what
would a big, husky, railroad engine be
without its choo?
Why Church Custodies h Sexton
It is a corruption of the word sa
cristan, a church official who hua
j charge of the “sacra,” slieh as vest
1 uients. cushions, vessels, hooks and
I so on.
Why Bird* Aro Light
One reason that birds are so light
in weight for their size Is that their
bones are hollow instead of being tilled
with marrow

Stowaways See Alaska As
Land Of Opportunity
An amusing story comes from
Ketchikan of three Outside
youths who determined to try
their luck in Allaska, pooled
their financial resources,, $90,
invested it in a supply of food,
which was sent ahead of them
to Juneau to await their arriv
al, and then Stowed away on
the steamer Alaska to reach
the land of their desire.
Two of the lads, Al. Blake
and L. B. Nelson, came from
Phoenix, Arizona, and the
third, Herbert Kaul, hailed
from Seattle.
They found little difficulty
in negotiating the journey as
far as Ketchikan, but there
the stowaway character of the
adventurers was discovered.
They were put off the ship and
handed over tfo a deputy mar
shal, who hailed them before
U. S. Commissioner E. C. Aus
tin. Judge Austin immediate
ly ordered them returned to
whence they came, according
to the Ketchikan Chronicle.
Kaul, who appears not to
have had an interest in the
grubstake in Juneau, was will
ing to go back but the other
twfo entered a plea for leniency
and Judge Austin relented, af
ter listening to their story of
the grub supply in the capi
tal city. They informed the
judge they planned to winter
in Juneau and believed their
food supply would safeguard
them from hunger or need of
assistance until they could ob
tain work in the spring. Fur
thermore, his honor was in
formed, they had wired to
their folks for funds to take
them to their destination.
Judge Austin agreed that
$90 worth of grub at Seattle
prices would probably keep
them from hunger if they real
ly wanted “to stick” and decid
ed to give them an 'opportun
to get to Juneau and connect
with the grub pile. Kaul,
who apparently lacked some
How Smoko Screen* Are Laid
There are two distinct types of
smoke apparatus which have been de
veloped for airplanes. The smoke
material used In both types Is titanium
tetrachloride. One method of gener
atlng smoke is known as the “curtain
type’’ of apparatus. In which the
smoke material Is discharged from the
plane toward the rear at the same
velocity ns the forward speed of the
plane. This results In the formation
of large liquid drops at approximately
the altitude of the plane. As these
drops fall toward the enrth, they slow
i.v evaporate and react with the mois
ture or the air to form a dense white
smoke, which presents the appearance
of a falling curtain. A plane of the
Martin bomber type can lay a curtain
approximately 400 feet high.
How Pieturo From** Gained Favor
Picture frames are of comparatively
modern origin. There Is no record of
their existence earlier than the Six
teenth century. Originally frames
were made of wood or composition
overlaid on wood. The introduction In
the Seventeenth century of larger
sheets of glass gave the art of frame
making great Impetus and In the
Eighteenth century the Increased de
mand led to the Invention of a com
position which could be readily molded
I into various patterns.

of the determination to become
an Alaskan possessed by his
companions, was returned to
Seattle as a working guest of
the Alaska Steamship Co.
Asked why they chose to
come to Alaska in search of
work, Blake explained that
they were certain the Territory
offered more opportunities for
willing y'oung men than any
other place. Blake, who is the
son of a Phoenix business man,
was in the Territory last sum
mmer, employed in a cannery.
After returning to Seattle at
the end of the canning season
he determined to return north
and become a permanent resi

shared by his friend Nelson.
They claimed they would

the methods employed by
Blake and Nelson.
