ALLEN, Tenth and Commercial Streets ASTORIA, OREGON OLD SKULLS IN HER HOLD Schooner Transit Arrives With Ballast From San Francisco Burying Ground. SAILORS NOT PERTURBED Ami Trip is Made Without Incl. dent Forecaster Denis Wants to Call FourOIaNted Dark ShipeutlneM. Is desirable for the development ot the inori.an merchant marine, and also what change should be made In exist In laws relating to the treatment, com fort and safety of seamen, tn order to make more attractive the seafaring calling In the merchant service. Leading shipping Interests will be represented at the sessions of the com- mission. The schooner Transit arrived yes terday from San Francisco to load lumber. She Is a four-masted vessel and registers 494 tons. The Transit carries more ballast than the ordinary vessel of her register, and has 300 tons In her hold. Her master. Captain Kltnt- bom, states that his ballast Is rather ghastly, tn view of the fact that It Is made up of earth taken from an old cemetery at the Bay city. Down at San Francisco an enterpris ing fellow furnishes ballast for vessels. He exacts a toll of It a ton. Recently workmen made extensive excavations at an old burying ground and the earth was removed to the ballast dock. When the Transit came along she took on this cemetery ballnat, with the result that the schooner's hold Is filled with a mix ture of earth and bones that ought to gtrlke terror to the susceptible heart of the average sailor. However, on the trip up the coast nothing out of the ordinary transpired. The three-masted schooner Zampa reached port yesterday from San Pedro for a lumber cargo. Captain Kallen berg brought some ballast, but he had no bones r skulls under his hatch. HOKODATE HARBOR CLOSED. Plaolng of Mines There Interferes With Shipping. San Francisco, May 17. The col- lector of customs at this port has re ceived a circular containing the Infor mation that the harbor at Hokodate Japan, was not open to navigation, owing to the fact that It was mined. All vessels, so the circular stated, must atop a mile off the harbo entrance and hoist an ensign. "Bhey must then await the coming of a pilot boat carrying the naval officer. Whether a ship win te permitted to enter and how long It will be permitted to remain In port Is left to the discretion of the naval officer.

I had saver baehaehs aad suffered a constant dull pain in my bead. I spent weary, painful days, and miserable, restless nights. Tbe doctor told me that I must have patience.

Official Forecaster Beala of the Port land station is anxious to dub four- Imasted barks by the name "shipentine." He has paugurated the Innovation already, but It Is hardly probable tne Idea will catch, as "shipentine" does not sound well, and Is far-fetched. Of the matter the Portland Journal says: From now on a four-masted bark Is to be known as a shipentine. If the word barkentlne Is proper, the marine authorities argue that the expression shipentine can be used with equal cor rectness. There are three-maatea ana four-masted barks, and to distinguish th flaHHincatlon has been made. Forecast Official Beals has the honor of being the first In this district, If not on the Pacific coast, to make use of the new namei A four-masted bark was sighted oft the mouth of the river the other day, and in his daily publlcatlop a portion of which Is devoted to ship- pong matters, he reported the vessel as a shipentine. When asked about the craft with the queer name Mr. Beals re plied: 'I have the best authority in tne world for making use of the new term. The Marine Record, published at Cleve land.'0.. uses It, and on marine mat ters that paper Is supposed to stand without a peer. It states that In order to avoid further confusion it has been decided to call a four-masted bark a shlDentlne. However, I do not think 1 will publish It In that way again until the custom becomes more general. I cal shippers are agreed that the Idea Is a good one. TO HELP OUT 8H1PPIN6. ' Marine Notes.
