Senator Wilson announces thai his choice for U. S. senator is the present incumbent, Addison O. Fos ter. Foster has made a good sen ator, and it is to the interest of the state that he be returned. It is reported from Seattle that there's trouble among the 11. of \\\ foot ballists, a rebellion against Coach Knight having gotten a good start. A large element of the stu dent body seems inclined to want to oust Knight and to engage the ser vices of Coach Svveeley, of the W. A. C. They are a little late, however, for Pullman can use Mr. Svveeley to most excellent advantage next year, and Seattle can get onto his work when they go against the farmers. This effort of Seattle to get Sweeley is a great compliment to that excellent coach, and also to the great game put up by our boys this fall, when Seattle won simply by luck in the last five minutes of play. State Teachers' Association. The 18th annual session of the Washington State Teachers Associa tion will be held at Spokane, De cember 28, 29 and 30.

There is promise of excellent en tertainment in the performance of "Pretty Peggy," in which Miss Jane Corcoran, Andrew Rohson and a large company will be be seen at the Auditorium, next Wednesday, Dec. 28th. Miss Corcoran is al ready known to local theatregoers as a charming young actress, through her several previous appearances here in other plays, though this will be her first appearance in this city since she became a star. An drew Robson, Miss Corcoran's lead- ing man, is also favorably known, having played several seasons at the head of his own company in "The Royal Box" and "Richard Carvel." The supporting company includes a number of actors of almost equal prominence. "Pretty Peggy," an original play play by Frances Ay mar Mathews, has been highly praised by the dramatic critics of New York and elsewhere. The plot hinges on the romantic love affair of Peg Wof fington and David Garrick and the story is said to be interestingly told, furnishing abundant opportunity for bright, witty dialogue and good clean comedy as well as intense dramatic r 1 nations and surprising climaxes. The production is said to be one of the largest on tour this season. Notice of Lost Policies. Pacific Department National Eire Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn., Room 310, Hay ward Bldg. San.

LIGHTNING ROD VINDICATED Experiment* of Sir Oliver Lodge Prore That Oopp«r Conductors Attract the Destructive Bolts. Unless some inventive genius comes forward with a method by which a wet string may be made to do service as a lightning rod the demonstrations recent ly given by Sir Oliver Lodge before the London Institute of Architects may eventually lead to the restoration of the highly profitable times of the lightn ing rod agent. His demonstrations go to show that this gentleman of smooth language was far from being mistaken In his statements that his copper tipped rods would draw the electric bolts from their course of destruction. The trou ble was that they were too good. In his experiments he used three different sub stances as conductors—copper, iron and a wet string. While copper was the most intense and rapid conductor, it produced a sharp crack at the flash and showed by the intensity of its action that it was likely to set up a side flash, which in protected buildings has been the origin of most of the lightning accidents whirh have resulted in the loss of faith on the part of the people in the veracity of the much maliKiifid lightning rod man. Iron took the bolt with less noise and the wet string with hardly any, yet the latter was efficient in protecting the two other con ductors. Wet string is, of course, impos- Bible in practice, but Sir Oliver main tained that iron was quite as efficient a conductor as copper and far more safe, in so far as it did away with the side flash. His conclusion was the trial showed that copper as a. lightning conductor should be dismissed with costs. Should it be possible to convince the American house holders of the correctness of his views, the practical outcome of the demonstra tion may be the revival of the lightning rod industry, with iron as a substitute for copper. A SINGULAR COINCIDENCE. Mont Pelee Celebrates Anniversary of Awful Catastrophe with An other Eruption. According to a letter written by a young girl resident in Rosaeau, Island of Dominica, to a friend at New Haven, Conn., the volcano Mont Pelee, in Mar tinique, on May 8 last, by a singular coincidence, observed the anniversary of the catastrophe. May 8, 1902, when 30,000 lives were loat and the city of St. Pierre destroyed, by again bursting into active eruption. No mention is made of any loaa of life. The letter states that "there was a very active eruption on Sunday, May 8. There was an immense outburst of smoko and cinders, and the central cone within the crater appears to have been entirely ejected. "Mont Pelee is visible from Domini ca. At the same time there was some slight volcanic disturbances at Ouada lope island, and the boiling lake in a crater at Dominica wu unusually agi tated." It wai recalled here that the disturb ance of crater lakes and slight erup tions for several days before the tre mendous outburst on May 8, 1902, were premonitory of that disaster and led a Martinique scientist to Investigate and by a cipher dispatch warn the govern or of the island. The warning was withheld from the public. Both scien tist and governor were among those who lost their lives. HOLDS BANQUET ON BRIDGE Wabaah Bailroad Celebrates Its En fennse Into Pittaborg by a Novel Feast. With the shrill screams of all the whistles on the boats in the harboi and amid the cheers of thousands oi people the first passenger train on th« Wabash left Plttsburg a few minutes before five o'clock one afternoon re cently. The train was made up of tec Pullman cars and ihe private car Wa bash of President Joseph Ramsey, Jr. A box car was attached to carry th« supplies for the banquet, which wai given at six o'clock that evening on th« big bridge over the Ohio at Mlngc Junction, which the citizens of Mingc arranged for in celebration of tin opening of the new line. The party taken by President Ram sey consisted of 300 men, prominent in the civic and official life of the citj and county. Members of both branches of the councils of Pittsburg and Alle gheny were in the party. Mayor Wy man, of Allegheny, went along. Bejected Foods. Oowa' milk is said to be abhorred by the Japanese and rabbits are never eaten by the Abysslnlans, who explain that rabbits are too much like big rats. The natives of the Sandwich is lands would not take caviar for a gift. Choese in Mexico is simply curds desiccated and pressed in pancake «hape, and even then it is patronized only by the Caucasion colonists. The half-breeds accept it with hesitation and a two-ounce slice of Ldmburger would stampede a tribe of mountain Indians. They resent it as a practical Joke in questionable taste. But why the Koreans eschew ice cream, as a traveler reports is the case, Is less easy to explain. Perhaps they share the Japanese prejudice against dairy products or the Chinese predilection for superheated tidbita. —Chicago Daily ' News. FOR RENT, FOR SALE, ETC. For Sale —A four-room bouse.
