In the window of Holt & McCur trie's shop are two speciment of Puget sound piles, eaten and honeycombed by the teredo, the foe of foundation timbers in the waters of that section.

One pilot counted 39 a short time ago. Schooners pick them up with little trouble, one schooner, the Penelope, securing 45, one day last week; about 40 miles off the mouth of the river. These skins are worth 5 each. What's the mat ter with Astoria pulling a few of them in? They're anybody's that has a mind to go after 'em. Might Have Been Considerably Wore. Oh a life on the ocean wave, And a homo on the rolling deep; "Where the winds and waters rave And the skies their revels keep. The man who wrote tho above lines never kept a milk ranch near Astoria, and, like enough, never had suoh an experience as the follewing: Wm. Larsen and his men had an adventure last Tuesday morning, that, fortunately, was only temporary in its results. While going back after delivering milk in town, and when about half way across Young's bay their boat suddenly began to leak, and filled almost instantly. Milk cans, sacks of shorts, etc., began float ing around, and the occupants of the boat began floating around too. The cans, etc., were pressed into service as life preservers, floats and buoys, and by that means the boat was kept from sinking till the leak was stopped and the boat bailed out, when the crow climbed in and pursued their vovage, the sacks stuffed into the craoks and the cans ready for farther use if nec essary; the craft was finally beached on the flats opposite Trullinger's house on the tide land.

Nearly every Caucasian in Astoria over sixteen years of age, has a watch; the few that haven't, have clocks. It is safo to say that there arc this morning 6,000 clocks and watches ticking time in this city. It would be equally safe to say that out side o the jewelry and watch estab lishment, no three watchos or clocks will bo found to be exactly together. Try it. As you go down or up tho street this morning compare your watch with your friend's, and the gentleman next door; you'll find from fifteen seconds to half an hour's dif ference. There is a wide latitnde in this respect. TherG are standard time, and Astoria time, and church time, and school time, and half a doz en other kinds of time, each based on some starting point or system differ ent from all the others. One phase in this difference of time is important. It is the tide table. On the fourth page of The Astorian every morning is found the tide ta ble for Astoria. This tide table has nothing to do with "standard" time. It is based on the exact longitude of Astoria and not on its proximity to "centrnl" or '"mountain," or "Pacific'' divisions of railroads. For instance the tide floods this morning at 10:47; if noted by "standard" time it would be two minutes past eleven there be ing a difference between standard time and Astoria time of about fif teen minutes. To those who go down to J.he sea in fishing boats and see the wonders of the Lord on the heaving waters of Columbia's bar, those fifteen minutes would at times make nil tho difference be tween life and death. Hence tho Columbia river fishermen has little use for "standard" time, and goes en tirely by the actual time as indicated by tho exact geographical location of the city -making allowance for the diifrrenco in time of the tides hero aud at the mouth of the river. Tho difference iti timo3 of high water bo tween hero and Cape nnncoelc is ton minutes; in times of low water, forty seven minutes; for instance, it will bo high water hero at 10:47 tins morning; nt the cipo at 10:37; it will be low water at 4:."1; at tho capo at 4:04, tho difference in height in both cases be ing four-tenths of a foot less at tho capo than at Astoria. The standard time is convenient, making a uniformity in places ap proximating the 75th, 90th, 103th and 120th parallels west longitude. At noon to-day, "standard time," it will be exactly twelve o'clock "standard" aud geographical to all places on tho line of 120 W, Lou., from Greenwich. Astoria is in W. Lon. 123 50', so that standard time makes us three degreis and fifty minutes slower; 3 degrees and 50 minutes longitude equals about fifteen minutes and twenty sec onds in time, which represents tho difference between "standard" and looal time in this city. When it is 12 noon, "Astoria time," it is 12 hr., 15 m., and 20 sec, p. m., standard time. THE CAPE HANCOCK CAt'.IiE. Signal service observer Glass, of Portland, is in receipt of the follow fellow follew ing: Washington, May 9, 1887. As the board of trade and other citi zens of Portland aro strongly inter ested in the restoration of the signal service telegraph cable across tho mouth of the Columbia river, tho ohief signal officer directs that vou inform all interested parties of th ! efforts that aro beiug made by him m that direction, with a view to obtain- ing thoir co-operation. As it is moro than doubtful that the small amount of money appropri ated by tho last congress" (500) for raising and repairing tho cable will admit of the work being done by pri vate part'63 under contract, tho chief signal officer has applifd for assist ance to tho engineer department, whoso machinery, now in use for im proving the mouth of tho Columbia river, can, it is.boheved, bo employed to good advantage in raising tho cable. The services of the assistant engineer in charge, Mr. EaBtwick, have also been requested as ho has given the matter a good deal of study and feels oonfideut of his ability to recover the cable. Both requests woro approved by tho secretary of war under certain conditions named by Captain Chas. F. Powell, corps of engineers at Port land, who is directly in chnrgo of tho improvements above referred to. It is belioved that if the board of trade and other influential citizens will confer with Captain Powell and advise him of the importance of the cable and the great interest they feel in its repair, tho chances for that officer's prompt an( most favorable action will bo greatly improved. This is essential becauso some of the con ditions named by Captain Powell as to time cau hardly bo complied with. F. R. Day. Second Lieut. Signal Corps. Snicide. DK.
