It appears, 1» not a whit less laiflllng In Its natural configura tion than Is that of Port Arthur. Vlad ivostok 1« situated on the gulf o f Peter the Great, an nrm o f the Jajwn Sen. The town Is twilit on the slopes of a high ridge forming a tapering penin sula Into an Irregular landlocked lw.v. There are two narrow entrances to the harbor, both flanked by highlands which bristle with batteries and forti- Itcntlons. The entrances are further guarded by forts erected on an island nt their mouth« and innumerable Islets Just outside on which are many de fensive works o f various kinds. Sur mounting the crest o f the bend land«, which stretch for miles to the east ward and «r e known ns the Golden Horn, are continuous chains of earth works and other defenses. The lofty hills on the northwest protect the port from the land side, and In the deep water of the Golden Horn, which Is at least four miles In length and a mile tn width, the largest ships may ride safe ly nt anchor, free from the menace of attack and beyond the reach o f the wea tiler. Like Port Arthur, Vladivostok con sists o f throe portions. That nearest the water la the military town, extern] lug along the harbor and given up al most exclusively to storehouses, mili tary quarters m d officers’ residence«. On the extreme north o f the harbor nre the official Miildlnga and the pri vate dwellings of the government em ployes and private citizen«. Beyond and higher still Is the arsenal, strong ly fortified. The population Is about 1B.000, excluding the military. It Is not Likely that the town cotiM ba entered by nn Invading force from landward without a repelltlon of the hard fighting that took place at Port Arthur. The natural disposition o f the hills at the rear o f Vladivostok has made It possible to Interpose many that the atmosphere Is a compressible, elastic gas, we And that when the ball leaves the hand of the pitcher with a rnpid rotary motion It ‘impinges upon a continuous clastic cushion,’ and this moderate resistance. or friction, changes Its course In the direction which la given to the rotary motion. Take an outshoot of a right handed pitcher, for Instance. He impresses upon the ball a rapid centrifugal ro tary motion to the left, and the ball goes to the left because the atmos phere. compressible and elastic, is packed Into an elastic cushion Just ahead of the hall by the sw ift forward and rotary motion, and the friction, which Is very great in front o f the ball, steers it In the direction It is turning.” Are „OREGON S hort line ANO U nion P acific Three Trains to the East Daily Through Pullman standard and tnurMMAeep log r*r* dally te Omaha, Chicago, Hpokane; biurlat »looping car* daily to Kansas City: through Pullman tourtat »leapingcar* (person ally conducted) weekly to Chicago, kaniaa City: reclining chair care (aaata free) to Kaet PO RTLAND V o *S m ?CAQO No change of care D F .P A R Ï FOR Chicago Portland Special 8 15am via H 'ntlngt'n Atlantic Ex yreim 8:1* p m via l i ’ntingt'n Ht.
