A Southern Colonial House in Miniature, circa 1948
No full textThis booklet describes the creation of the "Hammons House," a Colonial Revival miniature mansion co-designed by Claire Bagley Hammons, her husband Frederick Dent Hammons, and architect Joseph S. Cote. The model house was completed in 1948 and given as a gift to the Seattle Historical Society, now known as the Museum of History & Industry, in 1955. The pamphlet has black and white photographs of the individual rooms with details about their furnishings and creation. There is an introduction by the author, who dedicated the booklet to her husband.
Some years later, in 1960, Claire Bagley Hammons wrote a letter to a Mrs. McLennon, probably at the Seattle Historical Society, with an 11-page enclosure describing the model house in greater detail. With a page for each room of the house, the entries detail the provenance of objects and how some specific objects were created.1 pamphlet (16 p.); 8 x 5 i

An economic model for international politics: The question of the applicability of microeconomic theory to Kenneth Waltz' theory of international politics
No full textThis study investigates the influences of the main assumptions of microeconomic theory on Kenneth Waltz' theory of international politics, termed neo- or structural realism, and questions their applicability to his theory. In his work, Waltz questioned whether the prevailing theories in the discipline were capable of explaining the relationship between nations, causes of war and conditions of peace, or predicting the reoccurrence of major changes in international politics.The deficiencies characterizing these theories stem from two sources: the reductionist approach, attribution of change to the attributes of the states as actors, and the systemic approach's vagueness. To overcome such failings Waltz turned to microeconomic theory for its structural approach and applied it to his international political theory.This study hypothesizes that five basic microeconomic theory assumptions: the firm and its role and behavior in the market system, the basic market structure, the concept of equilibrium, interdependence, and rationality and profit-maximization/wealth have effect on the five assumptions which Kenneth Waltz used to formulate his theory. It points to their relationship and at the same time demonstrates the assumptions' shortcomings in constructing his theory.This study finds that the perfect competitive balance of power in the duobly/bipolar system--which Waltz claims his theory predicts--is difficult to conceive as one has to be abandoned for the other to be retained.It further examines the concentration of power and wealth to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of each in relation to the two theories.The application of the microeconomic assumptions to the basic premises of Waltz' theory led to major problems which put their usage in question. The difficulties encountered were profound enough to usher in the demise of the Waltz' theory of international politics.</p

Marriage certificate of Amos Brown and Annie Peebles, November 5, 1867
No full textSeattle's population had more than doubled in the decade since the first families founded the city in 1852, however the population largely consisted of young bachelor men who came to work in the timber and fishing industries. In the early 1860s Asa Shinn Mercer (1839-1917), first president of the Territorial University of Washington (now University of Washington) and its only instructor, decided to go to the east coast to find educated, marriageable women of good moral standing to work as teachers and in other respectable occupations. The women he brought back, about 45 total between 1864 and 1866, became known as the "Mercer Girls." A reporter who accompanied Mr. Mercer's second trip, Roger Conant, kept a diary during the journey, which was later published as "Mercer's Belles: The Journal of a Reporter," and inspired a 1960s television series, "Here Come the Brides."
The marriage certificate pictured here was issued to Annie M. Peebles, a "Mercer Girl" originally from Maryland, New York, who arrived in Seattle on May 28, 1866. Her groom, Amos Brown (1832-1899), was a lumberman and real estate investor from Bristol, New Hampshire, who moved to the Puget Sound region in 1858. Their ceremony was performed by Daniel Bagley (1818-1905), a Methodist minister from Pennsylvania who was himself a prominent early resident of the city. It is unknown if Ms. Peebles taught school after arriving in Seattle, but she was active in the women's suffrage movement. Amos and Annie Brown had at least five children: Anson Lennon Brown (1868-1942), Brownie (Brown) Kinnear (1871-1957), Ora Lee (Brown) Richardson LaBau (1878-1969), Annie (Brown) Ames (1880-1965), and Helen (Brown) Duff Pratt (1887-1976).
Annie Brown's sister Elizabeth "Libbie" Peebles (1844-1926) had also traveled to Seattle in 1866 with Mr. Mercer. In 1868 she worked as clerk in the House of Representatives for the Legislature, and she later taught school in Chehalis, Seattle, Olympia, and Lewis County. In 1871 Libbie Peebles married Seattle banker Angus Mackintosh (1839-1904); the couple's son, Kenneth Mackintosh (1875-1957) was a member of Washington State Supreme Court Justice from 1918-1928.Caption information source: "Mrs. Annie M.

The Role of Carrion Supply in the Abundance of Deep-Water Fish off California
No full textFew time series of deep-sea systems exist from which the factors affecting abyssal fish populations can be evaluated. Previous analysis showed an increase in grenadier abundance, in the eastern North Pacific, which lagged epibenthic megafaunal abundance, mostly echinoderms, by 9–20 months. Subsequent diet studies suggested that carrion is the grenadier's most important food. Our goal was to evaluate if changes in carrion supply might drive the temporal changes in grenadier abundance. We analyzed a unique 17 year time series of abyssal grenadier abundance and size, collected at Station M (4100 m, 220 km offshore of Pt. Conception, California), and reaffirmed the increase in abundance and also showed an increase in mean size resulting in a ~6 fold change in grenadier biomass. We compared this data with abundance estimates for surface living nekton (pacific hake and jack mackerel) eaten by the grenadiers as carrion. A significant positive correlation between Pacific hake (but not jack mackerel) and grenadiers was found. Hake seasonally migrate to the waters offshore of California to spawn. They are the most abundant nekton species in the region and the target of the largest commercial fishery off the west coast. The correlation to grenadier abundance was strongest when using hake abundance metrics from the area within 100 nmi of Station M. No significant correlation between grenadier abundance and hake biomass for the entire California current region was found. Given the results and grenadier longevity, migration is likely responsible for the results and the location of hake spawning probably is more important than the size of the spawning stock in understanding the dynamics of abyssal grenadier populations. Our results suggest that some abyssal fishes' population dynamics are controlled by the flux of large particles of carrion. Climate and fishing pressures affecting epipelagic fish stocks could readily modulate deep-sea fish dynamics
