The lung brama of light taut berk and forth and up and down for a lime, then, to signify that the message I done, they swing atraight up at the Zenlln. and rem la motion leas. Then tba other party to the dia logue takes up tba wiggle. Tha Whit tier jromled to report u tba next day dy at Vancouver and ateawed away into tha north. All New Veer's day we ploughed south over a calm sea at six knot slip. They say that what you do on tha flrt day of tha year yon will do all tha ret of tha year. I certainly don't wsnt to tow hosts down tha meat during quit alt of 1900. It's too monotonous. "At 4 a. ra- January 1 wa hailed the Norwood.

After towing W0 miles to due tba ball on tba Ave yard Una was enough to make a person swear and sailors aren't parson.

There has been a great deal of ex citement over tba fata of tha Puebla for several daye. Tba papers printed seers head extras and tba steamship office were besieged constantly by friend and retativra of tha derelict steamer. It waa avn reported tbat both tha Cbehall and tha Puebla had bean lost and ona account had tha Cbehslis disabled off Caps Flattery with two tug out looking for ber." Tha Crip.'

There Is nrobablr no dieraee that eausaa so much phyJcai and mental agony, or which so successfully defies medical aid. All danger from the grip, however, may be avoided by the prompt use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
