NEW YORK SITUATION.
Comment ing editorially on the hot
spell in the metropolis ,t!ie Xevr York
Tribune says:
Tlie most unusual trait of the pres
ent period of hot weather is its contin
uance. In July ana August ts to be ex
pected that the mercury will reach the
We often, hut it seldom does so for
more than two or three days In suc-
cession . Interruptions, even short, or
dinarily give suffering humanity a
chance to recover from the effects of the
heat. Xo such opportunity has been.afi
uforded in this city for a week. The pre
ent hot spell began last Sutudny, when
the highest temierature recorded by the
government observer was 85 degrees.
Since that time the thermometer has
occasionally evinced a slightly more am
bitious disposition than it did then, but
at no time has the daily maximum fal
len short of that which was noted a
. week ago. To some extent the influence
of such weather is cumulative. Persons
who are vigorous enough to withstand
the first onset not infrequently succumb
after a prolonged siege. This fact should
serve as a warning to those who are
tempted to exercise activity or to ex
pose themselves, needlessly to the sun
' shine. '
The prevalence of extreme humidity
at this time of year is, of course, to be
expected. In dog days and for a con
siderable intervel previous thereto there
is likely to be higher baromertic pres
sure over the ocean than over a conti
nent. This contrast has been especially
noticeable during the last few days;
and, as there is always a steady move
ment of air from a high pressure area
to a low one. the breeie on the Middle
Atlantic coast has come almost steadily
from the southeast. That great vapor
generator, the fiulf Stream, is not so far
away that it cannot contribute to the
store of invisible moisture that is waft
ed gently inland. It has undoubtedly
enhanced the discomfort of the resi
dents of the metropolis and its suburbs
during the greater part of the current
week. Owing to a slight change in the
direction of the wind yesterday the air
canse off the land and was a litle drier
than it had been. Simultaneously, how
ever, there was a alight rise in the tem
perature which offset the diminution in
humiditr. So far as actual comfort was
concerned, therefore, there was no rea
son for congratulation.
o
r.REATXKSS AXD SEA POWER.
The proposition that a great nation of
the twentieth century shall be a great
sea power and its corollary, that great
sea power presupposes rare nacal equip
' nent, are being insisted upon by indus
trial and commercial Germany in a way
to hearten every American who believes
in the Roosevelt ideas of national great
ess.
Recently the Chamber of Commerce of
Dorthmund, the heart of the district
wherein centers Germany's iron, steel
and mining interests, adopted a report
reciting the statement that "a strong
navy, commanding respect, is demanding
by the large majority of the German
people." The conviction gains ground.
it was argued, that under the present
world-conditions a nation can maintain
its independence, protect its interests
and attain far-reaching aims only
through sea power. Statesmen and dip
lomat may judge whether publie opin
ion in this connection is right, but these
Germans, who have the interests of
commerce, the industries and sea traffic
in charge, emphatically declare that

creation of a nary commanding respeet

"Witl.l'ut industrial employment,"
they conclude, "our annual increase of
800,000 people cannot find a living; lack

NOTHING BUT LIES.
Stranger Than Fiction.
'G-r-r-r-h." muttered Manager Powell
of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany. He had just stepped from hi
bath and was struggling to get into his
under garments. The shirt which, here
tofore .thanka to ita unshrinkable guar
antee, had to be coaxed on with much
strenuous work, completely enveloped
Powell of it own accord. The sleeve
end dropped full a foot beyond Powell's
hands and flapped around like Hugs in
a half hearted breeze. Powell turned
around in the shirt four or five times
trying to get his bearings. .
"Ye Gods," he cried. "Am I going
m-a-a-di perhaps I have the 'D. T.V
but no. ,'Tis not so. for not a drop have
I Jud." But surely there U something
alack. These garments at unsceniing
large, or. perchance, I, myself, have
J shrunk. Would I had a faithful philoso
pher that I might have assist me in solv
ing this perplexing question." And so
he ranted. Powell struggled mentally
and physically for an hour and finally
gave up. He donned his clothes as best
he could and made his .way homo bid
ding fair to become a sufferer with ner
vous prostration.
It seems that Powell is a wanderer,
one of those peculiar wanderers. He
likes to go forth in the night and mean
der far into the wilderness where he
drinks in nature in her most becoming
garb and sighs:
"Alone." Hours and hours doe Pow
ell spend thusly He plunges into the
forest depths and sprawls upon the soft
bed of the lifeless leaves, the trend of
his thoughts turning to solitude. Around
him spring tangles of fern and creep
ers; towering far above him are the
stately firs and spruces, the perfumes of
a thousand wild blossoms freight the
mellow evening atmosphere. In such
environs is Powell happy. He alone
fully appreciates Nature's charms he
loves her. He will have none of those
worldly diversons that please the com
mon people. All through the day he
looks forward to the night's coming that
he may flee fro mthe monotony of the
telegraph key to the welcoming arms of
his nature. And so we find hinv Tiies

nating. Powell rested on her arms long'
er than he intended, ne had to hurrv
home. So, striking a brisk pace, he soon
returned to civilization He was in a
dripping prespiration when be reached
here. He wished a bath.
"Boy," he commanded of one of the
uniformed servitors, "Ilie thee hence and
bring me as'expediously as possible a
clean suit of under garments. I would
bath. Begone. The boy "begoned" os
tensibly to Powell's room and soon re
turned with a eit of light underwear.
Joyfully Powell grasped the garments
and rushed forth to tha bath. The tus
tie followed.
It is learned from an authentic source
that Powell formerly occupied the room
Powell says that if Phillip had been
messenger bov had been there before,
There is considerable betting going on
as to whom the joke is on, Powell or
Phillips. Neither will put np the drinks.
Powell says that if Phillips had been
like most editors and possessed only
one suit of underwear the mix-up would
not hare occurred.
"Yes, but but where do the angels
get their picture taken, auntie?"
"Is there a gallery where they take
pictures of angvls only just of angels?"
"Perhaps so, I dont know."
"Then why don't the angels put on
more clothe when they have their pic
tures taken!"
"Oh, Charley, please lie quiet. You
will make auntie's head ache."
Charlie meditated in silence for a few
minutes and remarked;
"I don't know why Captain Bailey

Sapid Work.
An Astoria girl was much adit-ted to
the use of slang. The other day when
she had been very naughty her mother
said: "Xow, Edith, you go and shut
yourself up, in a dark room and ask God
to forgive you and stay there until he
does."
Into a room she went. But in almost
a minute she reappeared with a rad
iant face. "Why," exclaimed her mother,
"what did you come out so soon for!"
"Oh, that's all O. K." replied Edith.
"I just told God that I was sorry that
T got to gay, and asked him to please
let me down easy, and he said, 'Oh.
don't mention it. Miss Jones, you're not
so worse.'"
On Captain Bailey.
It was on the evening train from fort-
land. E. Z. Ferguson and F. J. Carney
were returning from hitting the Trail
at the fair and having money enough
left, bought a seat in the chair car.
They occupied the rear smoking room.
In a seat in the rear was a young lady
and a little boy and the following con
versation was heard t
"Auntie, did the angels carry Mrs.
Jones up to heaven!"
"Why Charlie, I think so. Mrs. Jones
was a good woman."
"She was an awful fat woman. The
Angels must lie strong."
"How do you know there are angels.
auntie?"
"Because we read about them. Wait
until you can read and then you will
know more about them."
"But why why don't you see the an
gels! Did you ever seen an angel!"
"Hush! Don't talk so loud. Of course
we don't see them, but we see their pic
tures." .
Going Some.
An Cpper Astoria man had lieen ar
rested for assault and battery anil was
being tried in the police court yester
day. Frank Spittle, deputy eity attor
ney," was examining the principal wit
ness, who was an eye witness to the
trouble.
"You say you saw the shots fired!"
"Yes, sir."
"How near were you to the scene
the affray!"
"When the first shot was fired, ten
feet from the shooter."
"Tell the court where you were when
the second shot was fired."
"I didn't measure."
"Well, appoximately, how far should
you say."
"Well, it approximated to half a mile."

IN LIGHTER YEIN
Girls,
Some admire the maiden ticenly,
One who moves alwut serenely,
Dignified, divinely .tall, .
Others much prefer her small.
I admire the small ones greatly.
Then I like the large and stately,
I'm not captious, fortunately;
Really, I admire them all.
Sohe like girls with animal ion.
Such as shine in conversation.
These the golden youth enthrall
At a party or a ball.
Quiet, shy ones have their inning,
Some consider them more winning.
As I said in the beginning.
Really, I admire them all.
Fair or dark and big or little
I don't care a jot or tittle,
None with me has got the call;
At the feet of ea.-h I fall
The demure and the vivacious
Smart, couquettish, sweet and gracious
None is barred. My heart is spacious,
Bless the girls, I hue them all.

Advice to the Young.
Speak kindly to the elephant
And gently to the whale.
And when you meet the jaguar
Please do not yank his tail.
Respect the tiger's feelings, dear,
His whiskers do not pull.
0, let our hearts with kindness
Be'ever, ever full.
0, do not pinch the python
Or punch 4he rattlesnake
If you should hurt the cobra
His little heart would break.
Don't stick pins in the crockodile
Or irritate the yak:
Pray do not bruise the polar bear
By pounding on his back.
Don't make the lion cry, my child.
By walking on bis toes;
Nor slight the hippopotamus'
By standing on his noe.
For all good children, you must know,
Each morning gladly sing;
"O, help me be considerate
Of every living thing."

LIQUID VENEER
Liquid Veneer is a carefully and
scientifically prepared article that
acts as a food for the varnish or
gloss. It is absorbed by the varnish
or surface to which it is applied, and
brings out all its old time elasticity
and newness besides adding addition
al gloss. It is therefore highly ben
eficial to the very finest surfaces.
Don't hesitate to use it on your
pianos, mahogany furniture, or the
very finest pieces you may have; it
is the preparation that will remove
tarnish and that peculiar and very
undesirable bluish discoloration
which often appears on pianos and
other highly polished furniture.
Liquid Veneer is equally effective
on Organs, Violins, Guitars, etc., as
well as on all rosewood and ebony
furniture .perfectly cleaning it and
restoring original newness and gloss
