Straightened J7J mile of Under, pliable
spines with a gtroka or his pen. The
stroke was made on March XT last, but the
glad news has just leaked out. Here It is.
Just as It comes from Superintendent Max-

'schools:
'. The Carrying of Books Pupils should be
required to carry their books on the right
side on tha even day of the month and
on the left side on the odd -days. This ap
plies ta the chaiigmg of cawr room and tha
carrying home of books. This is done to
avoid one cause of spinal curvature. 'The

office After he threw out that hint about
being on the verge. . ,
Developments of ' the plan ' are expected.

To offset ttl weight of Mr. Maxwell's own
eat text books en tha other side. Hair
must be parted in the middle all the time
or the side mustb changed -daily.
. Little girls must wear round garters or
else have the up-and-dqwn-tha-slde kind
mended every night, or have both sides
broken on tha same day. or change tha
broken one from left l" right or vice versa
every school day. Considerable latitude
will be allowed to this matter, for Draco

both sides whole every day. Ne little

at the same kne every school day to pull

If boys are allowed to go barefooted on

CLIMBING MOUNT M'KINLEY
Ksaedltlea ta r.splere the Highest
Meeataia Teak la Tterta
America.
Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who wss Surreon
of tha Peary Arctic expedition of 11-W
and surgeon of the Belgian Antarctic ex
pedition of 18!7-. and Prof. Hersrhel C.
Parker of the department of physics of
Columbia university left New Tork City
May 7 to climb MoKlnley, Alaska (K.t4
feet), the highest mountain In North Amer
ica. In difficulty the enterprise transcends
the ascent of Aconcagua 2?,8u feetl, in
South America, which M. Zurbrlggen, he
Swiss guide, and Steaart Vines of Jlr.
Edward A. Fitzgerald's patty, accom
plished In 197; that is to say, the attempt
on McKiniey. though It may fall, is likely
to Involve the Intrepid climbers In greater
hardships than were encountered by ihe
victors of Aconcagua, Fitsgerald made u
campaign of several months against Acon
cagua, camping higher and higher In the
snows before a dash could be ventured for
the summit; every member of his party
suffered severely from exposure, and at an
elevation of M.000 feet Fitsgerald succum
bed to mountain sickness.
Aconcagua breaks the clouds In lati
tude 31 degrees, S3 minutes, 40 seconds, 8;
almose due-west of It 1 Valparaiso; -the
base of the mountain, therefore, is In the
temperate clime. McKiniey, in latitude
(3 degrees 4 minutes N., la very near the
Arctic circle. The snow line on the Alas
kan mountain comes down much lower
than on Aconcagua, Professor Parker es
timates, w. believe, that that there is 4.006
more feet of snow on McKiniey than on
Everest. So it follows that If a traversable
glacier can be fonnd on any slope of Mc
Kiniey there will be more Ice cutting for
the climbers than on any other mountain in
the world in all probability. Moreover, the
cold on the heights will be more Intense;
and Dr. Cook and Professor Parker will
have a season of only weeks. Instead of
months, to lay siege to the giant of tha
Alaskan wilderness.
Extreme cold Dr. Cook has experi
enced In his invasions of the Arctic and
Antarctic, while Professor Parker has
taken hie degree as a mountaineer, hav
ing made first, ascents of Ooodslr, Daw
son, Piddle, Deltaform, Hungabee and
Lefoy in the Canadian Bockies, where the
axe and the rope are Indispensable. It
should therefore be, a happy combination
for th assault on McKiniey. Both have
penetrated Alaska before, and Dr. Cook
made an attempt to scale the mountain
from the west in 190S. when he found him
self confronted at an altitude, of
11,400 feet by a granite wall pitching down
sheer 8.000 feet. On his return Dr. Cook
said: "Arctic conditions begin almost at
tha base. Unlike Mount St. Ellas, the
glaclatton Is not extensive enough to
offer an all Ice route. The conqueror of
this immense uplift must pick his path
over broken stones. Icy barriers, sharp
cliffs and an average alnpe of 45 degrees
for at least 14.000 feet. it lsn under
taking which for difficulty and disap
pointments Is comparable to the task of
reaching the North Pole."
The presumption Is that the campaign
against McKiniey will be made from the
east this time. 4y the wayof the Shusbltna
river, which rises in the foothills and flows
Into Cook Inlet. With the use of a launch
or small steamer the party may begin their
march to tha base by the middle of June
at the latest, which would give them two
months or more to find a practicable route,
ff there Is one, and gain the highest elevation-

should be time enough to experiment with

It would be the grandest triumph In
mountaineering to stand on the supreme
ledge of McKiniey. although the altitude
Is almost t ,000 feet less than that of
Everest. In view of the prodigious ob
stacles that Dr. Cook and Professor Parker
must encounter. It Is too much to expect
that success will be achieved by them; but
they can and do deserve it, and their cou
rageous enterprise kindles the enthuafaum

will tske their positions Monday.
The new democratic council will meet for

which Is the third Monday after elec'.hm.
At the icq neat 0r candldate-elecl City
Clerk Elbottin prepared an official call for
the meeting, which was to be signed by the
twelve couticllmen.
Whether the new council will succeed In
choosing a president at the meeting and
getting In shspe for the transaction n( bus
iness at the Hist regular meeting Tuesday
night is not settled.
The Bedford and Funkhoiiser factions
each claims the presidency for its man.
Bedford is picked for the place by
most Of the politicians. Saturday morning
Bedford said no caucus had been called and
that aome of the new councllmen seemed
disposed against one, but that he was will
ing to participate in an assembly of the
sort. The practice In former yeais was
for the majority to get together and fix up
things as to the presidency and committees
and leave the minority out entirely.
No joint session between the mayor and
councilinen to try to agree on appointments
has been scheduled, either, and in this re
spect affair are chaotic. During the week
Mayor-elect Dahlman has manifested an
Intention of naming his slste exactly as he
pleases, regardless of modifications to suit
the council. The result is a ptslblllty that
all the first batch of appointees sent in may
be rejected by the city lawmakers, because
it is not believed a single councilman will
be satisfied. The latest word from Dahlman
Is that he will reserve announcing appoint
ments until the meeting. May .
Flyna'a Stock Goes Back Vi.
Tom Flynn's boom for street roniml
sloner has had a new lease of life and his

principally because ex-Sheriff Power .had

deputy's present aspirations.
It has been settled that one of the hold

city clerk's office. Miss Schenck has boen
In the department many years and is to
be retained becsuse of her exten.MV knowl

will stay a while In the legal department
to assist the new Incumbent in learning

All sppolnttve officers and employes

aboard the Mt. Vernon this announcement
was received with cheer.
