Operation Is Delicate
He cut down through four layers of
the cornea leaving the fifth intact
for had he cut clear through the
aqueous humor a jelly like transparent
substance in a chamber back of the
cornea and in front would have been
destroyed
he applied the knife to her eye and a

LONG NEGLECTED DADS
Now comes the day of recognition
for the neglected father and if the
movement inaugurated at Spokane
Wash is followed a national observ
ance of dads merits will be launched
Officers of the Spokane Wash Min
isterial alliance and the Youug Mens
Christian association are sending in
vitations to churches and allied organ
izations all over the United States to
pay tribute to the head of the house on
fathers day Sunday June 19 the rose
being suggested as a suitable flower to
wear
Mrs J B Dodd of Spokane orig
inator of tho idea thus explained the
plan for a national movement in a pe
tition to the ministers of that city
The beautiful custom of mothers
day suggests the question Why not a
fathers day This is further empha
sized by the celebration of childrens
day by our Sunday schools Fathers
lay would call attention to such con
structive teachings from the pulpit as
would naturally point out
The fathers place in the home
The training of children
The safeguarding of the marriage
tie
The protection of womanhood and
childhood
The meaning of this whether in the
light of religion or of patriotism is so
apparent as to need no argument in
behalf of such a day to be celebrated
all over the country
Rev William J Hindley pastor of
the Pilgrim Congregational church
of Spokane said of the plans
Im glad there will be an opportuni
ty to speak a few kind words in public
for the old man who is entitled to a

THIS POET I

HZ
A novel poetic contribution to aero
nautie literature recently appeared in
the Harvard Monthly signed by J
Gordon Cilkey 12 It deals with the
thoughts ot the aviator while sky scud
ding as follows
Over the sea wastes tumbling free
HIrIi above cities of sleep below
In a veil of clouds the airships go
On the top of the winds we never know
To the lands we never see
Theres a touch and a spark and a thrill
and 1 share
The breath of life with my steed of air
And the lowest clouds rush up and away
As 1 swing through the night to the
bounds of the day
Athwart the empty blue I rest
On double wings of silk and steel
Beside me throng the wandering clouds
And frightened eagles round mo wheeL
To wide horizons never crossed
A level path lies clear for me
Above the slopes of doming sky
Below the tields of wrinkled sea
WRIGHT AIR INJUNCTION
IS DISSOLVED BY COURT
Makes Many Foreign Entries Possible
In New York-Chicago-St
I Louis Races
I
Users of the Curtiss and Paulhan
aeroplanes may now tly without giving
bond covering possible violations of
the Wright brothers patents at least
until after the trial of the injunction
suits instituted by the Wrights in tho
United States courts in New York city
and Buffalo several months ago The
United States circuit court of appeals
I in a unanimous decision has vacated
the preliminary injunctions granted on
behalf of the Wright company against
tho Herring Curtiss company and Lou
is Paulhan pending the trial of the
suits
j The decision will have a farreaching
effect upon pending amateur contests
iu this country including the 25000
race between New Yovk and Chicago
and that between New York and St
Louis Foreign aviators may now come
into these contests without hftvingjto
furnish expensive bonds and the entry
lists are expected tf be augmentell in
consequence Incidentally one of the
troublesome problems of those
iug the contests has been favorably f
settled
In their decision the judges call at
tention first to the fact that the Wright
patents have never been adjudicated
otherwise than on the motion for the
temporary injunctions issued pendente
lite and then go on to say
There Is no dispute as to the prop
osition that the question whether or
not there has been an infringement of
this patent however broadly it may
he construed depends upon the ques
tion whether or not in the defendants
machine a tendency to spin or swerve
is checked or counteracted by the op
eration of a vertical rudder That of
course on its theoretical and on its
practical side is a question of fact
s j lulUxU jub
It geems irrespective of any
rrruirr r other questions In the case that In-
fringement was not so clearly estab
lished as to justify a preliminary in
junction

For miles and miles the odor of
whisky filled the atmosphere The
cause of it all was the collapse of a
nine story warehouse of the Gwynn

Mills from the effect of heavy rains
which undermined the foundations
There were 20000 barrels of whisky
stored in the warehouse S0C0 barrels

THE FUEGIANS
They Are Stunted and Misshapen as
Well as Hideously Ugly
At the l wo extremes ot ihe Amer
ican continent dwell the most wretch
ed races ot beings the CsUlmos at the
north and the Kuegians at the south
Of the two the Fuegians appear to be
the lowest in the civilized scale their
general aspect being wretched and de
graded
Their hideously ugly faces express
the grossest stupidity and their per
sons are both stunted and misshapen
The average height of the men does
not exceed five feet two inches that
of the women four feet eight inches
and owing to their habit of standing
in a stooping attitude they look even
less than their actual height
But although they are veritable pyg
mies in stature yet their bodies are
exceedingly large and their general
appearance is such as might result from
tacking on to the trunk of a giant the
arms and legs of a child
Their color appears to be a copper
bronze but as nearly all are begrimed
with smoke it Is difficult to specify
their precise hue The very young
children are light brown in color with
the exception of the palms of the
hands and the soles of the feet which
are of a dirty yellow
The heads of the adults are covered
with coarse black hair which falls In
lank masses to the neck behind and
on each side of the face but is cut
away from before the eyes
The forehead is low and retreating
the nose broad flat and furnished with
immense nostrils and the mouth is
very wide with thick protruding lips
the upper one being very much elon
gated
The eyes are small and placed some
what obliqaiely tlfe Iris is Invariably
black hi color and the white of the
eye has a distinctly yellowish tinge
Moreover owing apparently to the irri
tation produced by the smoke of the
fires over which they are so constant
ly crouching they are very generally
blear eyed
The teeth although very much dis
colored are as a rule regular and
sound The men have naturally only
a few black bristles scattered over the
upper lip and ohm These however
are carefully extracted from time to
time by means ofjtwo mussel shells
and very frequently the hair of th
eyebrows is removed by a similar
process Tho males appear to pay no
attention whatever to the dressing of
their hair but the women are some

quently be seen employing in its ar

Halibut In Canada
One cannot be long in any hotel or
restaurant in Canada without seeing
halibut on the bill of fare says a
writer in Canada In this respect it
assumes the position of a national
dish It is there on Christmas day
and again on midsummer day and
there are not many days in between
these two dates when halibut finds no
place on the menu So plentiful is
halibut in the waters of the west
coast of Vancouver island that Ernest
McGaffey on one occaciou watched a
few Indians with their crude fishing
arrangements catch 21000 pounds in
Clayoquot sound in one day When
it is remembored that a halibut some
times weighs as much as 300 pounds
perhaps this achievement will lose a
tiny part of its glory
Color Harmony
The key to all color harmony is sim
ply this that kindred or related colors
harmonize go well together while un
related colors are antagonistic to each
other Those colors are kindred which
are side by side on the spectrum band
or the color circuit Red is kindred to
orange because orange is an admix
ture of red and yellow orange is kin
dred to yellow because of the yellow
in the orange yellow is akin to green
because green is an admixture of yel
low and blue
