It Slacking Up
It is evident that the registration

bit; that there is a lull in the prose
cution of this important duty, which

the first Tuesday in that month. Up
to last night the totals in this behalf
had reached the followings figures
which arc but slightly in excess of

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.

A Unique Miatlon
Captain Frar.k J. Smith, a well
known steamboat man of the north
west, and an all-round transportation
expert, wat in the city yesterday, ac
companied by Mrs. Smith, seeking
recorded data in relation to all the
old-time steamboats that traversed
the waters of the Columbia and the

re-modelling, changes, different serv

real thing that happened then. 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. Captain Smith
was at the custom house all of yester
day, overhauling the records t and
found much of deep concern in rela
tion to hi unique quest Mr. and
Mrs. Smith left last evening for the
metropolis.

IN THE CITY OF PILLS.
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
