W. COOPER The Leading Dry Goods and Clothing House of ASTORIA, OREGON - - - : : , -JB ft I Light Trembler Shakes Astoria Earthquake Shock Rattled Doors and Windows at 3:45 Yes terday Afternoon. At J:45 yesteriay afternoon Astoria Avas shaken by an earthquake shock. This - ill perhaps be news to many peo ple, but it will also have a tendency to confirm a lingering suspicion of many others and to verify the pronounced belief of not a few. From the time of the shock until late last night The As torian was besieged with inquiries from those who believed that a tremblor had been experienced, and an excellent de scription of the shock was obtained. The earthquake came unexpectedly. A dri-iling rain was falling but weath er conditions were not at all unusual. At J: 45 frame structures began to rattle windows and doors were shaken, and n even some of the. most substantial buildings In the city the shock was felt. Wade Hampton Smith, who was sitting In the parlor of the Holden house with a party of friends, states that there were three distinct shocks. The first wnwl to come from the southwest. and the second a sort of twister, from the south. After a brief lull, the third shock was felt. The chandeliers at the Holden house swayed violently, and the gentlemen in the parlor all exclaimed "earthquake" at the same moment. The most substantial structure In the city Is the public building. Deputy Col lector of Customs Parker was at his office in the public building at the time of the earthquake. He says that he distinctly felt the shock, the building trembling and doors and windows rat ' tling. He looked at his watch and not ed the hour 3:45. When a reporter called Mr. Parker's first question was, "Did you feel the earthquake T' and the reporter admitted that he had. Several other persons informed The Astorian that they had noticed the tremblor, but Mr. Smith, gave the only good description of it. This is the first earthquake that has ' been felt in Astoia for nearly 10 years. The most severe shock was experienced In 1884, when ' buildings were badly shaken, plaster being knocked from walls all over the city. Yesterday's shock was a light one and no damage was done. . . .V- ... Cam TTVq 11 P - wnicn Tiu ww we im w - - ( Co, has a full lumber cargo, in all I.- , 050.000 feet. ) MARINE NOTES.

MRS. R. INGLETON, Welch Block, opposite Budget. Meat once meant any kind of food. In one old edition of the Lord's prayer the well known petition is rendered, "Give us this day our dally meat." Town originally signified a farm or farmhouse. It is used byWycllfTe in this sense: "and they went their ways one to his town, another to his mer chandise." Tariff was the name of a Moorish chieftan, Abou al Tariffa, who had a fortress near the Strait of Gibraltar and levied toll on ships and merchan dise passing through. Libel once meant any little book, but as many small tracts in the early day of printing were personal and offensive In character the word acquired Its pres ent significance. Imp once meant a child. Shakes peare, speaking of the children in the tower, calls them imps. Jeremy Tay lor, in one of his sermons, speaks of "the beautiful Imps that sang hosannas to the saviour In the temple."
