O OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SEIZING THE OPPORTUNITY. It" the people of flat sop County have anything to say in relation to the build ing of now county court bouse, it is high time they yeiv getting in their work and demonstrutins: that there it some other power abroad here than the county court. The court i seizing toe opportune moment to enforce it pre disposition to building that court house on the old plans and contracts if it takes the last dollar in sight, and the ac cumulation of materials in this behalf, will soon be so great and various, that there will be nothing left for the eiti rens to do, but go ahead with the struc ture upon a basis of cost and plan and style, that has been once turned down with all the unction of a legal edict, backed ly popular repudiation. An in junctive writ, in these premises, is the appropriate and timely thing. AN ECHO. S.EA.W.AX.L. ?????????

Piles and planking as a bulkhead A loose-rock wall, with dirt filling! Or a finished wall of masonry! The General Committee on Seawall is billed for a report at the adjourned mass meeting of the citizens on the 14th, Monday week; and perhaps they would like to know what it is to be, as 'well as the people. The form and nature of the structure must be determined before anything else is attempted One can get all manner of opinions on the street in this behalf, but the real thing is yet to be settled. The recommendations of the committee are looked for with some eagerness. 0 APPARATUS, OR SMOKE, WHICH? Ten, fifteen, twenty thousands dol lars, invested in first-class fire fighting apparatus is worth that much more than a quarter of a million in smoke and ashes. Astoria is growing and the municipality must keep pace with the fire area. Twenty minutes will undo the work and dissipate the accumula tions of twenty years, under the un propitious conditions of wind and weather and a too meagre supply of apparatus. Without anticipation it is difficult to measure possible realization; but the smallest actual loss gives ample guaranty for its anticipation, hence whatever the common council shall elect .

There In Hcnrcely anything in uitturo that exerts the fascination over every one alike tint 11 does nn who, and com mon It mny become there Is always a feeling of mystery about It Unit holds us as with a charm. Of course we all know that It is merely the retlectlon of a sound from some object, us the Bide of a bouse or a rock or a bill, but often we cannot tell bow far nway the object Is that causes It. Here Is u way to tell every time: Holding watch In your hand, shout a single syllable, as "llo!" or "Ha!" and eouut the number of seconds from the time you shout till the sound conies back to you. Now, sound travels at the rate of l."'t feet a second, so the number of seconds that elapse multi plied by 1,12.5 will give the distance lu feet traveled by the voice In going to the object and back to you again, and one-half of that number will bo the nutnlier of feet away that object is. Of course .the object may be only n few hundred feet away. In which case the sound will come back lu loss thun a second, but you may determine the distnuee. nevertheless, by calling a single syllable "Ha!" and calling It again is you hear the who, not before or after It, but Just with It. With a little practice you can do this. Repent the call ten or twelve times, counting the seconds between the first call nud the last echo. Suppose, for example, that the time Is seveu sec cuds and that you called the syllable ten times. Then each echo took seveu tenths of n second, and the distance, found In the same way as before, Is about 304 feet. Exchange.

If you do, you may be sure that heaven won't exactly suit you. Fire Insurance Folks Keep aa hire oa Construction Method. A builder speaking of the watchful ness of fire Insurance companies lu New York city In the erection of build lngs In that city says: "Insurance companies in placing poli cies upou so culled fireproof buildings do not accept the word of the builders and contractors, nor rest content with the evidence submitted by the city building department. Their own ex perts niako nu examination. Such an examination Is made uot at the behest of politicians or In the Interest of a group of men, but by techulcal experts whose reports must be exact, detailed and exhaustive in the Interests of shrewd business men. The lusuronce underwriters have their own corps of expert engineers aud fireproof agents in the field all of the time. When a large building Is In course of con struction In New York these experts of the underwriters watch every stage of the development. They have no power to stop work on the building as city building Inspectors have when the building laws are not compiled with, but they possess another sort of check which Is fully as effectual. The build ers, contractors or owners, or all three, are notified that further Insurance poli cies will not be made on the building until certain remedies are made." Pittsburg Press.

The universal, active expression of sympathy and good-will that deluged the unhappy San Franciscans during the week of days that followed her catastrophe, buoyed them up to a pitch of civic pride and hope, that will be strenuously tried in the days now at hand. The seamy side is fast unfold ing; there will be a play of all the coarser attributes known to man, and it .will tax the wisdom, courage, and re liance of the people there to meet the access of meancss and dispose of it with dignity and success. Only the exercise of the loftiest principles and the highest examples of business hon or, will overcome tin-' tide of gross and morbid selfishness that is sure to thrust itself to the fore-front. WE WANT TO KNOW. What, if any, effect, the recent earth quake at Ran Francisco and along the coast country, has had on the run of salmon? They have charged everything not be sufficient to support life on this earth. o Somebody figures that Chicago under the high license law will lose five hun dred saloons. It's a case of reducing the surplus. o A woman in Collidge, Kan., tacked a scarlet-fever sign on her door, so that she wouldn't have to be bothered re ceiving calls. o While it is interesting to hear that money i easier what we should like to know is whether the people who have it are "easier." o The maple sugar product of a certain Vermont sugar-bush comes to New York under the brand "Adversity." Sweet are the uses, we infer. Make the girl in the looking-glass as sweet as you can. She's a good friend to you, and yon want to treat her well. Most of us count up everything else but our blessings. Right there our add ing machine stops. It isn't right, though. A member of the New York legisla ture is trying to have a bill passed to rvquiie that all Chinese laundry checks shall be written in English. This reminds us of the fact that no legislature has recently wrangled over the question of having doctors' prescrip tions written legible United States. Earring. Earrings bare always been among the most favorite ornaments of nearly all the nations of the world, certainly with those which are called civilized. Indeed among the Persians, Babyloni ans and Carthaginians they were worn by men as well as women. They were always worn by Greek women from Hera In the "Iliad" down to the Venus de Medici, whose ears were pierced for the reception of earrings. Pliny tells us that there was no part of dress upon which greater expense was lavished among the Romans. Many Egyptian earrings of very beautiful design have been preserved, and these antique de signs have been Imitated in modern times. 0XXDOOC)OOOOOOOOOCXXOC JUST A MOMENT!
