A remarkable coincidence, which may
be of Interest to believers Inn fetopathy
and other kindred occult seivb vn, I to
be noted tn connection with tha recent
dtructlon of the Fulton cot tag at
SeasMe. On that nlghl the members of
the Fulton family were alarmed by a
strange sense of smoke prevndlng the res
idences The odor was so marked snd dls.
tlnct that the Indies of the fanvly be
came alarmed and Insisted upon a thor.
ough examination by Mr. Fulton of the
entire premises, which, of course, failed
to disclose any fire. Strange as it may
seem, this was a veritable occurrence, and
believers In the mysterious enn make as
much or little of It ft) they please.
An Interesting evnnt occurred the other
day on a Great Northern train, while
whirling westward. As the train neared
Mel bourn, Mont., one of the passengers,
a Norwegian woman, accompanied by her
husband, gave birth to a girt baby. The
couple were traveling second-class and
alone, ami were unable to speak English,
Hastily the forward compartment of ths
smoker was made ready. A report says
that with the aid of one woman and a
young Norwegian girl to act as Interpre
ter, Conductor Bowvn performed his hu
mane office in a very creditable manner.
Some hours after tha baby's birth the
passengers demanded a pet at the new
arrival. Brakeman McDonald, never at
a loss In such cases, rose to the occasion
and gallantly taking the baby girl In his
arms, went the length of the train to the
rear sleeper, where was held an Impromp
tu reoMthin. Such an unusual occurrence
could not be allowed to pass unheeded, o
the passeengers made up a purse fur the
baby. As she was born In Montana they
duly christened her "Monta Melba."
The big candle In Herman Wise's win.
dow. which was lighted at I o'clock
Christmas eve, burned out at 3:15 Sun
day afternoon. The monster taper lasted
13 hours and 13 minutes, or two hours
45 minutes less than eight days. Theta
were very many guessea In tho contest,
and the Judges, representatives of the
dally papers, canvassed the guesses yes
terday. The three closest guesses nrt
the same 192 hours, or eight days. The
guesaer who predicted that the candle
would burn eight days are Mrs. C. H.
Stockton, Miss I,. Jeffery and Sol John,
son. As tho guesses are the same, the
above named persona will draw for the
prixes, the winner to take first prise, the
second prixe to go to the person who '

to go to the third person. The guesses
ranged all the way from two hours to
four and a half works, while some, think.
Ing the contest hitched on a "catch,"
guessed that the candle would burn until
It burned out. Ons man, who had five
guesses, started off with hours and
wound up with tv) hours, the last guess
being over J3 days. Mr. Wise ought to
give him a pair of suspenders for "close."
In the main, however, the guesses were
quite even, about a week being the aver
age. The three closest guessers will draw
of tho Lower Columbia River.
