Century Plant in Bloom at Seattle Home Times
A century plant owned by Mrs. W. Z. McAllister of Fourth Avenue Northeast and Sixty-fifth Street has blossomed after years of waiting. The eight inch flower is shell pink with a fragrant perfume and thick petals. Mrs. McAllister notes the plant’s age is uncertain, possibly approaching a century, as no bloom had appeared during six years under her care. The bloom began over a month ago and has accelerated in the past week, with another bud forming expected to open within the next month.

Island Kings of the Seychellés and Exiled Rulers
A rough historical sketch describes Mahe in the Seychellés as a place once French, then British, with Gordon dwelling there and legends of Eden. It notes monarchs in exile from Ashanti, Kokofi, and Uganda, including Prempeh and Asibi, and references colonial powers and the northern Lake Victoria region. The tone mirrors a late 19th or early 20th century travel/history column.
