Loss of Vessel Near Alaska Is Big Mystery

The Clara Nevada went down with fifty persons and $50,000 in gold dust between Skagway and Jnneau in 1898. This was the first of a long series of disasters in Alaskan waters. The mystery of her sinking has never been solved. He was one of the first vessels going north when gold was discovered in the klondike. A diver recently explored the old hulk. To get into . the old hulk he had to cut through the thick covering of kelp. Vessels on the bottom of the sea have a strange fascination for divers. Although it is very dangerous to board them divers seem to be attracted to the old hulks. They like to enter the old staterooms, explore the ship and see if anything can still be saved. Sometimes they aic able to make rich discoveries. Many a diver has made enough money on one ship to retire, but they usually keep at the work, for money, is of little interest to them.

Guess What Closed the Mouth , Of This Big Noisy Bottle

The bottle family was in a Hot. Big Jim, who could hold two quarts, with a mouth that was four inches across had tried to push over little Jane, a perfume bottle, and all the other bottles joined the discussion that followed. Big Jim was all out of breath with roaring so much. "You others want to watch out for me. I am the boss of this collection. If any of you says another word I'll kick you off the shelf." A catsup bottle interrupted him to let him know that even if he was Boys Learn Things About Bee Families A number of boys attending the Oakdale, California school now know that bees want to be let alone. A swarm of bees had hived in one corner of the roof for weeks. The teacher told the children to let the bees alone, but a few boys could not withstand the temptation of throwing clods at the hive. This j dislodged the hive. The bees attacked the boys who took refuge in the school house. The teacher put her head out of the door to see what bad caused the commotion. She was stung on the nose. Hundreds of bees swarmed through the open door, forcing the pupils to run to the next. room.

that reason was nut popular with their mistress "Is that so," answered Big Jim, "if I were not the most important, 1 would not be the biggest of the lot. The mistress thinks more of me than all of you put together.'' The others kept silent, for they heard their mistress coming. "1 need a big bottle," she said to the grocer's boy. "I guess that great big one over there will do." The grocer's boy took Big Jim down and out into the kitchen. Then he poured something into it and put it back on the shelf, "Well, look at that," said a mustard jar. "Big Jim is full of molasses. That will keep his mouth shut for good. Ilow do you like it, Big Jim?" Big. Jim tried to answer but he could only mumble, for the sticky molasses kept his mouth closed. The other bottles laughed until they shook and their mistress camo in to see if the wind was shaking the shelf. Braggard Jim is now the most humble bottle on the shelf.

On North Ninth The trees on North Ninth street between I? and C streets were in ! mourning last week, for one of the baby trees suffered a big injury during a storm. The heavy wind blew the tree down, breaking off all the limbs and leaving only a few twigs on the stem. The other trees sighed for two days in mourning for the accident. They are hoping that the little twigs will stay green and that the baby tree will be able to get enough air through the few leaves that are left to keep the tree from dying. Boy Takes Trip To Find Out If LcssonsAreTrue Because Johnny Smith, a Seattle boy, wanted to know if his teacher was telling the truth about geography, he stowed away in a lumber schooner which sailed from British Columbia last fall and ar rived in Sydney, Australia, this j spring. I "At school 1 beard a lot about Australia and 1 wanted to see the place to see if the teacher was telling the truth," explained Johnny. "It was dead easy to hop the rail and stay in a stateroom until the boat was under way. When we were out at sea I made a noise so that some one must notice me. I was given a job as cabin boy. Seasickness did not come to nie, so I just got along fine." DO YOU KNOW THIS? Do you know why many churches have crosses on the steeples? The cross is the sign of the Christian religion.

ThclmaDarbcy Writes Story About Picture

Richmond, Ind., June 10, I'll 6. Dear Sir: I am going to write a story about, the picture in the Junior Palladium and 1 think a good name for it is "Speeding." I will now begin my story. "SPEEDING." One day n young man bought himself k Ford. As he was riding up Main street one day his eyes fell on other's cars who were speed ing along faster than his car. So he started his car until the Utile Ford was speeding up Main street. As he was riding along a policeman saw him and stopped the Ford. The man was taken before (ha judge who said, "One dollar t;nd cost and thirty days In jail." So remember friends if you buy a Ford don't go speeding along and fall in the hands of a policeman. THELMA DARBY 701 N. 18th St. Traveling Birds Rest on Island Many birds that are with us In the summer migrate to this climate in spring and leave in autumn that is, they spend the cold winter months in (be south and the summer with us. Many of (he birds (ravel along the Atlantic sea coast. The birds seem (o pick one place on which they rest at night. Blackboard's island is an island on which thousands of birds spend a night annually on their trips north and south. ThiB island is famous in history as being (lie meeting place, of pirates. Hlackbeard once made his headquarters here, Persons living near the island say that his ghost walks in the sand along the edge of the sea every night, and for that reason they will not spend a night on it. But this is foolishness. The United States government and the state of Georgia intend to make this island a refuge for binls. No hunting will be allowed on it. Study Photo Of Baby Days If you want to have a pleasant hour, ask your mother for the collection of old photographs she has. Among them you will find pictures of yourself when you were only a few months old, pictures of your father and mother when they were young people, pictures of many of your friends. The style of clothes has changed so often since the pictures were taken that you will be. amused by the strange kind of waists your mother wore and the peculiar cut to your father's suit. You will enjoy looking over these old pictures. In twenty years, pictures of yourself will give you just as much fun, so save all your photographs and all snapshots. Keep Old Books Usually boys and girls find H'tle use for their old note books. The lessons and notes they made seem very uninteresting after the term has closed, so the boys and girls throw them away. If you would lay the note books aside carefully and look at them in two or three years you will be greatly surprised at the interest you will take in reading (he pages. Many a young man and young woman, away from home for (en or fifteen years is highly satisfied when he or she finds an old note book in the attic upon a visit to the old home.
