CJ hc Sttif gwstoriim. ASTORIA. OKEGON: THURSDAY. MAY 3, 18S8. Is Sydney, Australia, according to report, if you want to use the tele blione, you must ring the person up with whom you would communicate and then take a cab and go and see him. An answer by telephone is never expected. There is the usual surmise here and presumably elsewhere as to who will be candidates for the various of fices. What in the world a man in good health and able to otherwise make a. living wants of an office is one of the unexplained incidents of our daily life. It is proposed to preserve fish alive by placing them in vessels partly filled with water and hermetically sealed. It is said that fish so con fined have been found alive after three weeks, without either air or water having been changed, while fish in an open jar died in forty-eight hours. If the air in the vessel is com pressed the lifo of tho fish is further prolonged. i . There are in America over 4,000, 000 farms, large and Email. They cover nearly 20,000,000 acres of im proved land, and their total value is something like 810,000,000,000. These figures are not, of course, very com prehensive. They simply convey the idea of vastness of area and equal vastness of importance. Tho esti mated value of the yearly products of these farms is between 82,000,000,000 and 83,000,000,000. Fisn Crrr, Mich., is one of the odd est towns in tho country, having no existence except in the winter. It is situated on Saginaw bay not on the shores, but literally on the bay and is a collection of board shanties built upon the ice. This season it contained 1,000 houses. They aro tho huts of the men who do the winter fishing for pike, pickerel, lake trout and white fish, and as soon as tho ico forni3 on the bay their construction is begun. A Connecticut man tells this story of a remarkable exhibition of nerve by a professional sneak-thief: "One day he walked quietly into a bank, took offhishatand coat, hung them on a nail, put on an office coat that hung there, nnd walked into the rear room which contained the vaults. The di rectors were holding n meeting, and one sat in trtMt of a door blocking the passage. The thief politely asked him to move, and when tho obliging director did so the man went through the door, picked up two of tho largest bags of gold in sight, coolly walked out with them, and thief and gold were seen no more there." It is a strange feature in the Ger man emperor's case that his life has been twice endangered "by the lack of mechanical skill on the part of his medical attendants. At San Eemo he was bleeding to death from an ill-ad' justed, clumsy tube made for his throat His second relapse at Berlin grew out of the fact that the tubes employed became inadequate, and. until the same skillful artisan was called that made instruments for him' at San Eemo, he again drifted near death. Now, with the new tubes of the lightest known material, alumin ium, he again has been able to get up from bed, but it will bo noted that larger tubes have been employed, and the wound in the throat, instead of healing, has increased in size. The diseased portion drained by it goes deeper and deeper, removing all pos sibility of the hope of recoverv. The quarrels among the the doctors in at tendance have now beeome so great as to create open scandal. Is Consumption Incurable? Bead the follewing: Mr. C. II. Morris, Newark, Arlc, says:. "Was down with Abscess of Lungs, and friends and phy sicians pronounced me an Incurable Consumptive. Began taking Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, am now on my third bottle, and able to oversee the work on my farm. It Is the finest medicine ever made." Jesse Middlewart, Decatur, Ohio, says: "Had it not been for Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumptien I would have died of Lung Troubles. Was given up by doctors. Am now In best of health." Try it.

CMldrenCryforPitclier'sCastoria HOW IT IS DONE In Sail Diego A City Enilt in a Year. Ben Macready, after a brief visit to his old home in this city, has returned to his new home in San Diego. He has every faith and confidence in the latter as a money changing center and n pleasant place to live. While admitting that Fnget sound and Washington territory have a thousand points to offer against California's one for snbstantial business invest ments, he still thinks the climate, fruit, etc., of the country, and the dash and enterprise of its people good enough for all practical pur poses. "Married people are attracted there from the east in throngs," he saya. "'Many of them, charmed with the climate, stay. In a short time they feel the desire to be bnsy, and 60 they get in and spend money; under take big enterprises, turn wastes of land into gardens, plant railroads, de velop Dig waterworks, and that sort of thing. There can be no scarcity of money where cthere is a constant re newal of the supply of rich people, as there will always bo in that conntrv of resorts for eastern millionaires. San Diego ha3 grown from a city of 9,000 people ono vear ago to one of 45,000 to-day." "How was all this brought about?'' "By advertisine boominu. At first they used the folders of tho railroads running into California to point out the glories of tho city to the traveler. They had nothing in the world to of fer but climate and fruit. They made it a common point with other cities, and had the tickets sold in the east all read "To San Diego," thus en abling the traveler to come there whether he started for that point or not. Then they flooded the east with printed circulars, etc., and finally they engaged a band of the finest mu sicians, secured in different parts of the country, and contracted with them for a year for 810.000, uniformed them magmncently and sent them all over the country, advertising San Diego. With them was kept a oar load of fruit, which, with circulars, were distributed gratuitously throngh tho crowds at each stopping place. The result was a tremendous immi gration. That is the way they do things down there." Seattle Post- Intelligencer. A Warning. The modes of death's approach are various, and statistics show conclu sively that more- persons die from dis eases of the Throat and Lungs than any other. It is probable that every one, without exception, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system and where these germs fall upon suitable soil they start into life and develop, at first slowly and is shown by a slight tickling sensation in the throat and if allowed to con tinue their ravages they extend to the lungs producing Consumption and to the head, causing Catarrh. Now all this 13 dangerous and if allowed to proceed will in time cause death. At tho onset you must act with prompt ness; allowing a cold to go withont your attention is dangerous and may lose you your life. As soon as you feel that something is wrong with your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, ob tain a bottle of Boschee's German Syrnp. It will give you immediate relief.
