ALLEN SOLE AGENT FOR BAKER'S BARRINGTON HALL STEEL CUT COFFEE, PHONES-711 AND 3871 BRANCH PHONE 713 BRING YOUR CAMERA And Come to Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. VISITORS CAN TAKE PICTURES All Sixes up to 61x8 Will be Allowed in the Grounds, But Tripods Will be Excluded, as They Take up Too Much Room. SEATTLE. March 18. "Come to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in 1909 and bring your .camera." That is the invitation extended by the management of the 1909 fair to the people of the country and espec ially to those devotees of photogra phic art Again the Alaska-Yukon-Exposition is departing from the policies of former expositions and do ing something different ' The division of concessions, of which A. W. Lewis is director, will permit, under the contract of the of ficial photographer, all kodaks and cameras not over the size of 6 1-2 x 8 1-2 inches to be taken on the grounds and visitors will be allowed to take all of the pictures they desire of the buildings, exhibits and other features. There will be only one re striction, however, positively no tri pods will be permitted to be used in napping views. . At former expositions the rules re garding cameras on the grounds have varied. At some world's fair a small fee was charged for kodaks not over 4 x S inches in sije. At other exposi tions cameras not over. 4x5 inches were admitted free. In each case tripods were prohibited. These in struments take up a good deal of room and when one is taking a photo graph by the help of one of them they often obstruct avenues and aisles which are constantly streaming with people. ' The exclusion of cameras over a specified size at previous expositions was done in order to protect the of fieial photographer who had paid a large sum for the exclusive right to take photographs on the grounds and who had to have his concession pro-j tected in order to make his expenses and profit out of the sale of photo graphs. Although the management realizes that it cannot secure as much money for the granting o'f the photo graphic concession, it reasons that it will be fully recompensed in making so lenient a rule by the doing away with of the annoyance and confusion which was caused by the exclusion of cameras at other expositions. At former world's fairs a person would leave his or her hotel with a kodak larger than the prescribed size, and on reaching the gates of the exposi tion would find that they could not enter with their apparatus. Perhaps, their hotel would be several miles away and there was no place on the outside where they could check their machine, or if there were such a place, their camera might be too valuable to be left in a check room where there was danger of it being damaged. They would have to return to their hostelry to Jeave their camera, pro voked or mad at the exposition of ficials, which would cause them to lose several hours of valuable time which otherwise they could be spend ing to advantages in seeing the sights of the exposition. Other instances have been when nerson with a tabooed camera had passed through the turnstiles on big day when the crowd was large evading the watchful eye of both guard and gatekeeper. After getting some distance from any of the exit gates and attempting to take a picture a guard would appear and stop the photographer and insist that he or she leave the grounds. In every case the mard. under orders, would nave to escort the offender to the nearest gate with the amonishment not to return unless the camera was left outside which of course was humiliating. In stances have been known when the camera fiend caused the guard trouble and had to be taken to the fair police station. Again professionals who sassed the guard and insisted on pro ceeding with their picture taking had their cameras smashed by the ex position guardian of the peace whose act was justifiable under his instruc tions. The exposition management ex oects its innovation in the camera rules to recieve the hearty commenda tion of all exposition visitors and es pecially those who bring kodaks in order to take home pictorial remem brances of their visits. HEAPED FLOWERS ON GRAVES BERLIN . March 18-People of the east side of Berlin paid a silent trib ute to the memory of the revolution ists who were killed in the street fight in this city in 1848. An imposing crowd of sympathisers gathered at the graves of the dead men in Fred richshain Park and heaped them high with flowers.

Mass meetings under the auspices of the socialists were held in Berlin this evening but all passed off in the most orderly manner. DISCORD ABOUT MACEDONIA. ST. PETERSBURG, March 18. The Novoe Vremya publishes an in terview with a high official of the foreign office who criticizes the Brit ish proposal to Macedonia as bound to produce discord among the pow ers.

Russia has communicated to the powers a counter-proposal looking to judicial and other reforms adapted to local conditions and avoiding a radi cal solution of the question.
