PETERSBURG MASS MEETING
RESTRICTIONS ON BAIT
PETERSBURG, Alaska, Dec. 9.—
A committee consisting of Andrew
Johnson of the Sherman, Sverre Jo
hansen of the Brothers, Andrew ^.jer
die of the Happy, Louis Wick of the
Castle and Antone Noriede of the
Odin, drafted the following resolu
tions, which were adopted and for
warded to Henry O’Malley, commis
sioner of fisheries, by the city coun
cil, commercial club and the Pet
ersburg Men’s club.
“We are satisfied with the present
closed season for halibut and we ad
vise the closing of the chicken hali
but grounds. iiie restrictions on
herring as proposed in Juneau will
practically close thehalibut industry
and we advise no restrictions on bait
herring for halibut.
“It is a fact mat one fertilizer
plant does catch more herring in
three months, namely, June, July and
August, than are used during the en
tire year for halibut bait. We rec
ommend that for the conservation of
herring, fertilizer plants be made to
conserve for food 50 per cent of the
entire catch. At present most of
these plants are putting up herring
for oil and meal only and a few oth
ers do not conserve for food more
than from 1 to 5 per cent of their
catch.
“As an example of the present re
strictions affecting herring bait, the
halibut fleet of at least 50 boats was
compelled to miss one trip the latter
part of September this year because
herring seiners were not allowed to
seine inside the closed salmon areas.”
Intelligent Indian Had
A Line On Himself
It happened at Douglas, Alaska, on
election day. An Indian, one of the
most intelligent of the beach resi
dents at that place, entered one of
the polling places and asked for a
ticket. He was told to sign the reg
ister, which he did in a very legible
hand. It so happened that the name
preceding his on the register was that
of a woman and after her name was
the word “Female.” The Indian, not
icing the word, copied it and wrote
“Female” after his name. One of
the judges asked:
“Are you a female, Jimmie?”
“Oh, yes; me female,” replied the
Indian.
“How long have you been a fe
male?” asked the judge.
“Me been female long time—many
years,” answered Jimmie.
Oh, hell, no—me no squaw!” an
swered Jimmie as he made his way
to the booth to mark his ticket which
was later duly deposited in the ballot
box and another son of the storm
cloud had exercised his right as a
free-born American citizen.
WATERHOUSE IS
SENTENCED, GETS
18 MONTHS’ TERM
WHITE SLAVER SENTENCED BY
JUDGE REED ON TWO IN

tenced to 18 months imprisonment in

ery indictment against the man was

three counts and on the adultery

rently.

CREW OF WRECKED
GASBOAT ARRIVE IN CORDOVA
The crew of the wrecked gasboat
New England arrived in Cordova the
latter part of last week on the Pio
neer, and consisted of Capt. W. E.
Sagstad and five men. The boat
was en route from the westward to
Seattle and late last Saturday night
lost its propellor twenty-five miles off
Cape St. Elias. As the boat was in
a leaking condition the crew was
compelled to abandon it and rowed to
St. Elias where a government tender
picked them up and took them to Ka
talla. The captain and his crewr
will leave on the Northwestern for
the states.

Sunday Times which will give one
thousand pounds, if it can be proved
at a public test, that the dead re
turn. The conditions include a jury
of twelve drawn from the state jury
list to make a decision after the test.

WORKINGS OF QUAKE
RECORDER EXPLAINED
How the seismograph at the Uni
versity of Washington functions was
described recently in the University
Daily. A long concrete pier is sunk
several hundred feet into the earth,
a portion being left above ground
and from this upper portion, which is
enclosed in a glass case, two pendu
lums are hung. Each pendulum is
equipped with a needle which rests
on a drum covered with smoked
onion paper.
The two drums are placed at ex
actly north and south, so that when
a vibration occurs in the depths of
the earth, the pier is disturbed, caus
ing the pendulum to swing and make
the needle move in a zig-zag direction
on the paper, as if intoxicated.
The length of the wavy line gives
the approximate distance always at
which the quake occurred. The pa
per is automatically marked each
minute so that the length of time is
also recorded.
Unless a map on which Seattle is
the center of a series of concentric
circles, the distance of the quake is
measured out in the recorded direc
tion, and it is found that the erup
tion took place somewhere along a
certain arc. If two machines, each
in a different locality, report the
quake, then by using the map for
each city, the place where the arcs
cross is the exact location of the
earthquake.

RADIO-MAD AUSTRIAN
DECLARES ALL WORLD
TALKING ABOUT HIM
VIENNA, Dec. 9.—The establish
ment of a regular service of radio
concerts and entertainments by the
postoffice department has resulted in
provoking the first case of radio in
sanity on record here.
A 46-year-old laborer, lithographer
by trade, went to the police the oth
er day to complain that the whole
world was talking about him. He
said he was connected with a radio
receiver and could distinctly hear
people in every part of the world gos
siping about him. His pitiful plea f
ended in an urgent request to discon
nect him from the radio.
It developed that the radio had
gone to his head, and he was placed
in an insane asylum for observation.
If a man insults you by offering
you a drink swallow the insult.
Many a happy home has been bust
ed by an idle roomer.
