Tom Merry is at present editor of the Missoula Daily Qazette, and the following from his pen is taken from the issue of September. 21st: Hon. Sol. Hirsch, minister to Turkey, is lying sick in Portland with brain fever. In his delirious moments he calls Astoria "Byzantium" and Albina "Scutari" He applies the name of "Galata" to Couch precinct, and calls the "Willamette river the "Golden Horn." He occasionally has lucid moments, during which he points to Joe Simon and says, "Ah, there is the boss for us." -(.Bospuorus.) Mr. Hirsch has our heartfelt wishes for his speedy recovery. At a meeting of the Astoria cham ber of commerce last evening, M. C. Crosby, G. Wingate, J. W. Welch, J. O. Hanthorn and J. F. Halloran were appointed delegates to the fifth an nual session of the Columbia water way association at Portland next Thursday. A communication from Capt. John Babbidge, master of the steamer City of Astoria, was read, calling attention to the snags in Prai rie channel and Westport slough. On motion the president was authorized to communicate with the proper au thorities regarding the matter. In quiry regarding Astoria, etc., was re ferred to J. H. D. Gray, and the meet ing adjourned. Sunday morning a middle aged man went into the store of Herman Wise and made some purchases amounting to 4.50, taking the money all in silver out of an envelope and throwing the envelope on the counter, paid for his goods and left the store. Sometime after, the clerk, Mr. Howell had occasion to dust the counter and dusted the envelope on to the floor, noting something in it he picked it up and found a certificate of deposit for $500 on the Portland National bank, signed by one B. McElliott. Search has been made for the owner, but nothing has been heard from him so far. Miss Ella M. Smith, the daughter of the late Captain Benjamin F. Smith, died in Portland on the 1st inst Miss Smith wa3 one of the wealthiest single ladies in Oregon and was ever ready to assist the -needy. Among her bequests is 850,000 to the Unitarian church, among the congre gation of which she was a most active and beloved member; 850,000 to the Portland Women's union, 840,000 to the Boy's and Girl's Aid society, $10, 000 to relatives in Maine, and a couple of thousand to friends here, and the residue of about $125,000 to the Port land library, with which to erect its contemplated new building and create tCe nuoleus of an art gallery. Her estate was valued at about 8200,000. A correspondent of the Northwest ern Lumberman says green trees on the Sound will burn like tinder. He says he saw a green tree of that species at Whatcom burned half down by simply having an auger hole bored through it, with an upward slant on one side, so as to create an air draught, and stuffed with kindling. The interior of the tree being, thus ignited) the trunk burned like a torch. That struck the correspondent as de cidedly against that kind of timber as a permanent investment He thinks that since numerous settlers have gone into the Sound region, and are clearing farms, the liability of fires has greatly increased, and 'will con tinue to do so in ratio with the prog ress of settlement Evidence "of unusual weight will be' introduced in the suit now being held at Portland, wherein Norton Bros., of Chicago, seek to restrain the Jensen CanfillingMachine company, of this city, from manufacturing machinery from patents on improvements in vented by M. Jensen. To practically illustrate points brought forward in the case the Norton people, and the home company have caused sundry machines to be transported to the court room, there set up and put in practical operation. The case is be ing tried before Judge Lorenzo Saw yer, and if he is a careful observer he will know more about packing sal mon, and the modus operandi thereof at the close of the trial than he ever did before. The work of collecting spawn at the Clackamas hatchery, says the Orego nian, is about over for this season, as the supply of fish i3 practically ex hausted. The eggs collected, early in the season are beginning to hatch and as only about four million have been collected it is probable that they may till be hatched and placed in the river before freezing weather comes. The eggs in the McDonald jars placed in the fair, are beginning to hatch and the tiny salmon -will be quite an at traction. The unfortunate breaking of the rack above the pool at the Clackamas hatchery last spring re leased a good many thousand fine salmon, every one of which were cap tured a few miles above, to the great profit of a few fishermen. Next year tho rack should be watched to see that this misfortune is not repeated. Is it not a pity that so much scien tific energy and research should be wasted in providing forecast of the un pleasant weather forwarded to us reg ularly from Washington, when every householder or even lodger has at his disposal an infallible weather prophet in the shape of a cup of ordinary cafe au lait, taken with sugar. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof; few pine to penetrate the weather secrets of the morrow. To discover those of the coming six hours or so all they have to do is to drop two lumps of sugar exactly in the center of a cup filled with coffee and milk, in just propor tions, and then to watch the surface of that refreshing beverage. Gaseous bubbles will presently arise and gather together in a group or groups. If they make a sudden rush to the side of the cup "much rain" will be tho or der of the day. Should their eccen tric movement be performed with sta tely deliberation, "showery" will be the word. If, however, they retain their central station slowly rotating until they burst, the barometer that does not indicate "set fair" may be assumed not to know its busi ness. This is the latest of the thou sand and one unerring appliances of weather wisdom. Bubble prognosti cation looks as simple as fortune-telling. . PERSONAL MENTION.
