SOME BOOST, THIS Maybe ..California Will ..Appreciate Oregon's "Climatic Remarks'' Because prosperity wasn't smiling any too fondly on the Panama-Pacific fair at San Francisco, the general publicity offices of the big exhibit were closed some weeks ago. Since then several of the state commissions at the fair have been carrying on their own publicity work, and among these is Oregon. The present week brings to the Courier office the fol lowing bit of "publicity" regarding the fair which was sent out by the Oregon Commission. We bet Frisco will appreciate it not: Frisco will appreciate it not: "Let it be urged once again bring the overcoat, the sealskin fur, an ex tra blanket and the Oregon winter un derwear if you want to really enjoy the exposition. San Francisco always has her winter in the good old sum mer time, and the big show is located on the windiest and foggiest side of the city. July and August are al ways counted the worst of the year and September, October and Feb ruary the best. July has offered some pleasant weather but more that the fruitgrowers' convention of Brit ish Columbia and Alberta, American fruits are finding a better market and more ready sale in the western Ca nadian provinces than are home grown fruits. So deeply have Ca nadian fruit growers felt the Amer ican competition that the government has been asked to appoint a special board to investigate horticultural con ditions and determine if possible why it is that home-grown products are behind the market. The statement made by a Cana dian, one of the1 largest importers of fruit in Canada, regarding the de sirability of fruit imported from the United States and sold in Calgary at the rate of a carload a day, in spite of duty, war tax, and freight, in pref erence to British Columbia prdouce, provoked many questions and criti cisms from the growers. The success of the fruit industry in the United States is due, it was averred, to the favorable treatment of the jobbers. BAD PEST APPEARS Elm that Trees Affected by Beetle Comes from the East The most serious pest of the elm tree, the elm leaf beetle, has made been twice reported from Multnomah county. Professor Wilson says that FIGHTING IN FANCY DRESS. One English Troop Used to Be Called the Golden Goldfinches. Dandles were much In evidence In the Peninsular war, and an officer of the famous Light division has recorded how some of the officers were "rigged out In all the colors of the rnlnbow. Some had gray braided coats, others brown; soma ugaln liked blue, and the comical appearance of a number of in fantry officers loaded with leather bot toms to their pantaloons and huge chains suspended from the side but tons was amusing enough. The 'cut down' hat, exactly a span In height, was another rngo. This bnr lesque on a chapenu was usually top ped by some extraordinary looking feather!" The Duke of Wellington, however, never troubled about what his officers were if only they brought thetr men in tact into the firing line with sfxty rounds of ammunition apiece, and one of the chaplains, known as "the Fight ing Parson," always wore a red hussar Jacket, while during the battle of Vlt- torla General Picton wore. Instead of the usual cocked hat, a rouud and very old hat and carried "a huge white urn. brclla lined with green." But it is doubtful if any regiment has ever beeu dressed more strangely than theold Portsea volunteers, who in 1797 wore gold and scarlet cords, golden rosettes, feathers, cockades, white waistcoats, "gold wings" (to quote the official description) and "frilled skirts, largely figured."

NOBEL'S GREAT GIFT. the Yearly Prizes That Come From Fund He Left to Posterity, Alfred B. .Nobel, the Swedinh sci entist und inventor of dynamite, died in 1800, leaving his fortune, which was estimated at $9,000,000, to the founding of a fund ot which the interest should be yearly given us prizes to those per sons who had during the year con tributed most to "the good of humani ty." The interest is divided in live equal shuVes, awarded as follows: "One to the person who 111 the do main of physics has made the most im portant discovery or Invention, one to the person who has innde the most Important chemical discovery or inven tion, one to the person who has made the most Important discovery in the do main of medicine or physiology, one to the person who iu literature has pro vided the nios,t excellent work of an idealistic tendency and ono to the per son who has worked most or best for the fraternization of nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the calling and propagat ing of peace congresses." The value of euch prize is, ou an average, $10,000. The awards for physics and chemistry are given by the Swedish Academy of Science, that for physiological or medical work by the Caroline institute (the faculty of medicine in Stockholm), that for litera ture by the Swedish Acndemy of Stock holm and the pence prize by a commit tee of five persons elected by the Nor wegian storthing. Philadelphia Press. The Seven Seas. The phrase "the seven sens" has been current for some time was so current when Kipling universalized it twenty years ago to denote all the great waters of the earth. Its use di vides into seven parts the "tripartite ocean (the Atluutic, Pacific and Indian oceans) us the north and south Atlan tic, the north und south Pacific, the Indian, the Arctic and the Antarctic oceans. It is interesting to note that Bomiin Italy had Its "seven seas," the chuln of salt lugoons about the mouth of the Po, separated from the AdriuUc by strips of sand or embankments.

New York Times. great style, and a heavy yield from full-developed vines is expected. Quite opposite reports, however, are coming from Europe. A recent bulletin sent to the government from the Bohemian hop districts near Prague shows that there will be a pronounced falling off this year. This report says, in part: The official report covering the condition of the Saaz hop gardens up to June 26 estimates that the reduc tion in the area planted this year, as compared with 1914. amounts to 11.29 per cent. The dry weather of the past few weeks will probably affect the size of the crop to a greater extent than the reduced area. The report of the hop growers' as sociation, written on June 26, which has just been made public, says: "The character of the weather re mains unchanged. The drouth and excessive heat have not only damaged the grain crops, but have also work ed such injury to the hop plants that the formation of branches on the up per part of the plant reached only very modest proportions, wnere it was not altogether lacking. In the early gardens the plants are already in bloom, and in all gardens the final cultivation is almost finished. Dur ing the last three days, that is, since June 27, a light rain has fallen al most continuously, but it has come too late, to save the crop from ser ious damage by the drouth.'' u. Hi.

Diving with the aid of artificial mech anism is at least 1,000 years older than the Chrlstlun religion. Homer compared tha fall of Hector's chari oteer to the descent of an oyster diver. Aristotle mentioned ft diving apparatus, and, while Alexander the Great had no submarines, still he ordered divers to destroy the underwater defenses of Tyre. Later on Livy told about treas ures being recovered from sunken ships by divers.
