WORSTED SLIPPERS
OF SIR WALTER SCOTT
BRING GOOD PRICE
LONDON.—An ancient Sheraton
table, on which Sir Walter Scott
wrote his novels at 39 Castle street,
Edinburg, was sold here recently at
auction. With it went Sir Walter's
chair, his inkstand, a penstand, and
a portfolio, the lot bringing 270
guineas. Among other things which j
once belonged to the famous nov- j
elist was a pair of worsted slippers,
which so attracted one buyer that
he paid 15 guineas for them.
WIFE-BEATING IS

LONDON. — Henry de Halsalle. t

“I once stayed a few days in th
house of a Berlin merchant.” sai
the speaker, “and one evening hear
issuing from a room upstairs
woman’s cries and the sound o
blows. Presently my host appeare
and I asked him the cause of th
commotion.
“ ‘I have just been giving my wif
her Saturday thrashing,’ he said
He added that he administered th
punishment regularly every week
whether she deserved it or not.
“ ‘You must never let your wifi

NEW FISHERIES
! COLLEGE FACES
MANY PROBLEMS
‘ SAN FRANCISCO.—The availa
C ble food resources of the North Pa
; cific ocean are being utilized only
1 in small part, according to Prof,
- John M. Cobb, director of the Col
lege of Fisheries at the University
,1 of Washington, Seattle,
j5 “There are in our Pacific coast
j waters, so far as known, more than
400 species of fish, several hundred
species of crustaceans and mollusks,
" and many species of marine algae.
1 More than half of the species of
; fish are known to possess consider
able food value, yet we do not uti
, lize more than about 45 to 50 of
-
them, and of these 15 species are
, used to a very limited extent. Of
the crustaceans about six species are
used commercially, while of the
, mollusks only about eleven species
I are to be found in our markets.
“Many problems in connection
. with the best methods of preparing
these for market will have to be
solved before the majority of the
. species can be utilized, and these
problems are being attacked in fish
■ !
eries experimental laboratories es
! tablished on this coast since 1918.
j A considerable part of the research
: work of the new College of Fish
eries will be along these lines.
“An interesting problem for the
bacteriologist and chemist is that !
of determining why the flesh of cer- J
, tain Chinook or King salmon should
be white while the large majority
are of the usual salmon color. This |
peculiar condition prevails from Pu-1
get sound to Bering sea. being prac- i
ticallv unknown south of the sound,
and the proportion is from one
fourth to one-third of the catch.
With these off-color fish the flesh
is generally white, although occa
sionally one is found with the flesh j
on one side white and on the other :
I
red, while a few have mottled flesh. !
As these white-meated fish do not
bring the fishermen much more than
one-fifth the price obtained for the
red-meated fish, owing to the diffi-1
culty experienced in finding a mar
ket for them, it inflicts a heavy
handicap upon those operating in
the regions affected.
“Another problem for them would
be the determination of the cause
for “mushy" halibut. The halibut,
when taken from the water, dressed
and stowed in the ice bins in the
vessel’s hold, appears to be all right,
but when landed at the home port
some’ day-s later a portion of the
fish may prove to be “mushy.” This
condition is especially noticeable
when the flesh is cut, as it is mushy
in appearance and clings closely- to
the blade of a knife, instead of
breaking away from it as in the
case of healthy fish. Sac-like bodies
of the consistency of hard fat are
to be found in the muscular tissue
of the diseased fish, and these break
and a whitish fluid flows from
them. Fortunately for the fisher
men, these mushy fish appear at ir
regular intervals, and when the
proportion gets too high the fisher
men seek other grounds for the
time being. Sometimes the propor
tion of mushy fish will be 45 per
cent. The fishermen invariably
throw these fish overboard, as they
are considered unfit for food.”
FRENCH ACTORS AND
SINGERS WILL FORM
REGULAR TRADE UNION
. _
PARIS.—The actors and singers
of the Paris stage have decided to
form a regular trade union, to be
affiliated to the General Labor Fed
eration and so compelled to take
part in any strike ordered by that
body.
The machinists, electricians and
other employes of the theaters and
music-halls have been unionized for
some time.
The Moody' launch is scheduled to
leave Fairbanks tomorrow noon with
a crowd of Fairbanks young people,
who are coming to Xenana to spend
Saturday night and Sunday with
their many friends in this city. The
chief object of the outing, however,
is to attend the dance which is to
be given at Union hall tomorrow
night in honor of the visitors. The
launch should reach Xenana about i
six o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and
the return trip will be made late
Sunday.
The dance at Union hall will be a
public affair, for which there will be \
the usual charge of $1 for admis
sion, and for which arrangements
have been made for special music, to
be furnished by Prof. Ernst Berg
gren. The affair will start about 10
o’clock and the management of the l
hall extends a cordial invitation to !
all Xenana dancers to attend.
Among those expected from the!
upper town are: Mrs. Wilson, Misses
Pearl Peterson, Vida Burch, Eva
Delaney, Edna Lewis, Anita Xor
dale, and Messrs. James Barrack,
Alton Xordale, Boyd Hering, Fred
Van Raes. Bob Sheldon, who is
now in the Tolovana district, also |
expects to be on hand.

waters, a journey of a day and a
half from the harbor here.
Several tons of turtles we’e taken
there last year and the fishermen
sxpect to exceed this amount. The
mrtles will be brought here, where
:hey will be converted into soup
ind other delicacies at the local
tanneries.

on the Xorth side of the river at
Camp 415 dock will be shipped out
Tuesday and Friday of each week,
leaving at 7 a. m., until further
notice.
