Never in her history has Astoria gone in for a bigger thing than the sea wall she contemplates building, not even the Astoria & Columbia River railway. To be sure the seawall is pure ly local in its applied benefits and will be so considered on all sides; even in th money centers from whi.h tne cap ital that is to build it may come. The project requires illimitable patience, es pecially in the arrangement of the pre liminaries. It is too ponderous a thing to be rushed; it is one of those huge, permanent improvements that will bear the longest and deepest scrutiny and estimate. Its importance and value is pf such a nature thar. its permanence must be made the first consideration; cheapness and fiimsiness of construction are out of the question; it is a big thing, and as such must have the initial elements of sticngth, scope and solidi ty. Anything less is a sheer waste ot time and money. All these things re quire infinite patience, a resource in which Astoria is peculiarly rich. The patient, intimate, and extended knowled ge of what she really wants in this relation will bring a frution far ampler than any hasty and ill-considered make shift will ever bring. is Iot in its absolute similarity with that of the other. Better deny the priv ilege of entry to all of either nation save the scholars of each, and put the standards above the reach of all jug g'mg. EDITORIAL SALAD.

A folder baby carriage is being widely advertised. It is the carriage that fold. It is astonishing to think that citiz ens of Giieago would take umbrage be cause their ga.s bills were '"inflated." 0 - , And now it is found that Baltimore fire pictures have been doing duty the "scope" sheets the past week. 0 After the many reports about Witte and Castro resigning it will be inter view to aid memory, and such pieces were called abcedarlan hymns. The riddle Is also of ancient origin. The Proverbs of the Bible, or sayings attributed to Solomon, are often In the form of riddles. Was It not the queen of Sheba who proposed riddle to Solo mon? The Koran, the scriptural book of the Mohammedans, also contains rid dles, as do some books now In exist ence, written In Arabic aud Feralau. The ancient Egyptians also propound ed riddles, and one of the seven wise men of Greece, who lived In the sixth century B. C, was celebrated for bis riddles In verse. Homer, the Greek poet according to a statement In Plu tarch, died of vexation at not being able to solve a riddle. In the middle ages riddles were encouraged for amusement on winter nights In the baronial bull and also In the monastery In later days some of the most brilliant men of letters contributed to the list of riddles. The anagram, or transposition of the letters lu words or sentences, was much In vogue in Greece In the olden times. The fa ba lists, or Jewish doc tors, thought that the a mi gram always pointed out .1 man's destiny, and If bis name written backward or transposed in any way spelled a word with mean Ing they firmly believed It a revelation. The flatterers of James I. of England proved bis right to the British mon archy as the descendant of the myth ical King Arthur from bis name, Charles James .Stuart, which becomes claims Arthur's seat." The best ana grams are those which have in the new order of lettere some signification appropriate to that from which they are formed. When Pilate asked, "Quid est Veritas?"

The transpo sition made it, "Est vir qui adest" at la the man who Is here). Anagrams were written as early as 220 B. C and their name comes from the Greek words ana (backward) and gramma (writing). Unfriendly criticism of the big cor porations will probably be suiended while the railroads, telegraps lines and express companies are doing so much for the coast sufferers. "SMITH." Shot down like the dog he was, in the lair he had delved in the underbush of thP foot-hills of Clackamas. Frank Smith - Just as a P,ae ha8 Ppwed" where the millionaire and the tramp bunk to gether and live on the same fare, 1 San Francisco's buildings numbered 50,404 of wood and 3,831 of other ma terials. The largest stock of kindling makes it seem fortunate that the con flagration spared anything. 0 A dime from each of the inhabitants of the United States for San Fran cisco would produce $3,000,000, and there are few who can not afford more, To give a mite is infinitely better than to offer nothing. 0 the fleeing outlaw who had killed three good men in twice as many days, has supplied another of the type that con stitutes the link between the days of abnormal human savagery and the civi zation of the present hour. The shot that laid him low broke the strain of public anxiety and the whole state breathed freely and gladly. Glad that no further opportunity was given him to wantonly slay other good men; glad that be was killed; glad that the state and society frere Kparecl the Inundation of a long-drawn, aggravating trial in the courts; glad that the issue of the desperate affair set up its fierce warn ing to other murderous minds in our midst, and glad, above alt, that the good name of the state has been preserved intact from any subsequent blunder, or harsh criticism of its ability to cope with the miserable situation.

But .maybe this is only a device for keeping the rust off Princeton's political date line. 0 At about the same hour as the earth quake in San Francisco, a lake near Seattle was agitated so violently that houseboats, floats and boathouses were tossed about and jammed, and some were broken from their moorings Dmil( tjh djstuilbances. lasting flifi minutes, three distinct tidal waves passed across the ( lake and mounted I high on the Bhore.

One day a little elderly lady approached the win dow of the office, placing a large fami 17 umbrella on the slab, and, after fumbling nervously in her pocketbook, pulled out a quarter and luld it down without a word to the ticket seller. "Where are you going, madam?" ask ed the ticket agent "Oh, I'm going to the doctor," was the tremulous reply. THE Dr. C. GEE W0 .Chinese Medicine Co.

A professor who, when asked a ques tion, was in the habit of saying: "That la a very good point Indeed. Look it up for yourself," was once much disgust ed with a student who bad failed to answer a very simple question. "Mr. Jones," said be, "I'm surprised that you, who are going to teach, cannot answer such an elementary question. Why, what would you do if one of your pupils were to ask It?" "Well, profess or, replied the other, "if such a thing had happened before I came her I'm afraid I would have said plainly that I didn't know, but now I think I'd do Just as you do and say, 'Look it np, my boy; look it tip!'
