SALMON POISONING
The Oregon State Board of Health has
is'otd a bulletin on "Salmoning of Dogs'
wbit h contains much information that
will be of interest to owners of valuable
logs living adj.vcentto the Columbia and
tributary streams where many valuable
animals are lost each year, principalis
through a lack of knowledge of proper
remedies. The report is much tno vol
uminous to permit of a verbatim repro
duction ; the cure, however, as reconi
mended by the board' is as follows:
Two grains of calomel, followed by three
grains the next day, with plenty of wate
will be found to be very efficacious.
The efficiency of calomel as a specific
for salmon poisoning has been repeatedly
verified by experiments. Reports show
six recoveries out of eight Caes, the two
that died having other complications.
The most effective time for administer.
ing the calomel is about the third day
after the first symptoms have been ob
served, nr after the dog has appeared
very sick and vomiting.
Around the World in Sixteen Minutes
For the purpose nf determining the
lime it would take to accomplish the
feat, the New Yoik Times the other
day forwarded a message of nine words,
around the world by wire.
It took exactly sixteen and one half
minutes for the message to make the
jnnrney of 28.613 miles overland and un
der the seas of th two hemispheres.
In that time it passed through t'ie
hands of eighteen different agencies,
operating land and sub-marine lints in
the new and old world, traversed United
State', and touched at the Hawian
Island, Guam, the Phillipines, China,
two parts of India, Africa, Spain and
the Azores. It flushed along the liottom
of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian
Oceans, the Red and Mediterranean
Seas and Suez Canal end from Madras
to Bombay buzzed its way through the
primeval forests of the man-eating tiger,
p inther, boa constrictor, and pytb n,
over tbe GoO miles of land owned by the
Indian Government. v
The experiment has a special sig
nificance in view of the f.ict that fifty
four years ago this month, Cvrus W.
Field saw his dream of electrical com
munication between England aud the
United States realized in the successful
laying nf the first Atlantic cable and the
transmission of messages between the
two widely seperated nations. That
achievement, following the Introduction
of the land telegraph of Professor Mo se
by thirteen years moved the world for
ward a thousand years.
EVENTS THAT DID NOT OCCUR
The City Council, the board cf county
commissioners and t committee from
the commercial club, met during the
past week to devise ways and me ins of
constructing a fountain In the square
fronting the court honse.
The city Marshal arrested a large
nuuilier of stray dogs on the strand.
The fire departm nt clipped three
hours from a forniei record tun from
the city hall to the school hoiisn.
The St. Helens base ball team have
acknowledged that Hainier has the
Championship team of the river.
Bnl Remember these-things hnvent
