GEMS OF THOUGHT
ADVICE
Advice is like snow; the soft­
er it falls, the longer it dwells
upon, and the deeper it sinks into,
the mind.
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The wisdom of man is not suf­
ficient to warrant him in advising
god.
—Mary Baker Eddy
Unasked advice is a trespass on
sacred privacy. -Henry S. Haskins
Give every man thine ear, but
few thy voice; take each man’s
censure, but reserve thy judg­
ment.
—William Shaekspsare
How is it possible to expect
mankind to take advice when
they will not so much as take
warning?
—Jonathan Swift
When a man comes to me for
advice, I find out the kind of ad­
vice he wants, and I give it to
him.
—Josh Billings.

THE MESSAGE OF
CHIEF SEATTLE
On June 7. 1866, an 80-year-old
Indian named Seattle lay dying
near the city that had been named
for him. He is supposed to have
said, “My heart is good.” He asked
that after his death his friends
come and shake his hand before
his burial. After the funeral ser­
vices of the Roman Catholic
church, his Indian friends of the
Duamish, Suquamish and allied
tribes, paid oratorical tributes to
the ancient chief. One of the sub­
chiefs kept repeating in rhythmic
cadence, Seattle-Seattle-Seattle.”
And gone was the chief who had
stated his convictions once that
“There is no death. Only a change
of worlds.”
This was Chief Seattle, for
whom a village was named in the
early 1850’s, and whose name is
on everybody’s lips this year of
Century 21. The fact that his
name is on everyone’s lips would
probably bother him, for he is
supposed to have believed that
every time his name would be
spoken after his death his ghost
would be disturbed. This must be
a disturbing year for Chief Seat­
tle.
As a matter of fact, according
to tradition, Chief Seattle did not
approve of the naming of the pio­
neer Puget Sound village after
him for the constant reiterating
of his name would trouble his
spirit after death. He gave this as
a reason for levying a tax on Seat­
tle while living “taking his pay
beforehand for the inconvenience
he expected to suffer from the
use of his name after death.” One
might say that this was a unique
kind of withholding tax.
Chief Seattle is pictured as a
large, dignified man with a re­
sounding, rolling voice. Dr. Henry
A. Smith, who knew him inti­
mately, described him in the Seat­
tle Sunday Star of October 29,
1877, this way:
“Old Chief Seattle was the
largest Indian I ever saw, and by
far the noblest looking. He stood
nearly six feet in his moccasins,
was broad - shouldered, deep-
chested, and finely proportioned.
His eyes were large intelligent,
expressive, and friendly, when in
repose, and faithfully mirrored the
varying moods of the great soul
that looked through them. He us­
ually was solemn, silent and di-
nified, but on great occasions
moved among assembled multi­
tudes like a Titan among Lillipu­
tians, and his lightest word was
law.”
We have written before of the
ability of Chief Joseph of the Nez
Perces as an orator. Even those
who did not understand him were
moved by his deep voice and his
earnestness. The same was true
of Seattle. Dr. Smith says, “When
rising to speak or tendering ad­
vice, all eyes were turned upon
him, and deep-toned sonorous and
eloquent sentences rolled from his
lips like the ceaseless thunders of
cataracts flowing from exhaustless
fountains. . .”
Public speech was the one li­
terary expression of the Indian,
and, even though it reaches us
through translation, there still
comes through the pathos of the
tragic theme which imbued his
message as the white man became
ascendent and the Indian was
pushed farther back with the ad­
vancing frontier.
Seattle seems always to have
been friendly to the whites with
whom he came in contact, yet
he did not lose the faith of his
own people. At the signing of the
treaty between the Puget Sound
tribes and the United States Gov­
ernment in the winter of 1855, he
told Governor Isaac I. Stevens of
Washington territory as he pre­
sented the governor a white flag,
“Now, by this we make friends
and put away ail bad feelings, if
we ever had any. We are the
