A Thing of Beauty ' Chairman Lamar, of the Chamber of Commerce committee in charge of Astoria's Rose Festival; float and kin dred matters yesterday ' received the design of the car, in the rough, and it it exceedingly appropriate and beautiful. It it 22 feet long, and 16 feet in height, and the allegory typi fying Attorla and the mouth of the Columbia, it presented by two set serpents, erect, and equi-distant at the rear of the car, supporting either end of an Immense "Key to the Situation," with old Neptune and hit trident, just behind riding in the hollow of crest ing billow. Between the sea-God and the serpents it the famous "Gateway" of the Columbia, which the defiant sea-urchins are guarding, and holding the key to; in the foreground It a handsome yacht with a young girl at the helm, and upon the mainsail it pictured North Head and the bar, with a steamship entering port, the liglit-honse being conspicuous on the right; basic illusion being a waving sea; and the whole set forth in all the brilliant hues of an Astoria summer sunset. It i manifestly the finest sort of a representation of what this city stands for and has met with hearty reception at the hands of those to whom the matter hat been left Mr. Lamar and his committee are to be congratulated on the product.

This will be put out first for the benefit of the old-time masters and others in terested in such things, and will be followed in due course by a personal and anecdotal history of these same old boats, which will exceed in charm and interest anything that has ever appeared in this behalf.

There is one city in the world to day which bears an absolutely unique distinction, and that is Detroit the "City of rills." So writes J. Oliver Curwood in the Technical World Magazine for April. This year it is estimated that Detroit manufacturers will make three-quarters of the world's supply of pills, or over 6,000, 000,000 pellets, of all sizes, shapes and colors, and Intended for almost every ailment of human kind. In this city are made over 2,000 different varities of pills, and if a single season's crop was made of some deadly poison there would be enough to depopulate the entire globe twice over. To look at it in another way, if this annual har vest was strung, like popcorn, the rope of pills would reach three times around" the earth at the equator. To-day America is the greatest pill consuming nation on earth, for, while Detroit pills find their way to every conceivable corner of the globe, from the frozen regions of the Arctic to the deepest fastnesses of tropical jungles, not more than one-third of the total products leaves this country, the average consumption being some thing like sixty pills per capita per "You can't look foolish in a Wj Suit" W4 ' fMl It 2&f !; ;t I tf ( ttf 1 1 AT , 4?
