YESTERDAY
THE OLIVER OLSON LEAVES
THE LUMBER SERVICE TO
LOAD GRAIN AT PORTLAND
-OTHER ITEMS.
The Oliver J. Olson, which lay in
the harbor here for several days
awaiting a tug to take up the river,
is loading with grain at Portland, and
a report from there states she will
take a full cargo of wheat for San
Francisco. This will be the first time
in a good many years that a sailing
vessel has taken out grain coast
wise. The Olson is well known as a
lumber carrier and has now been
pressed into the grain service because
of the great demand for the cereal
in California towns.
After but a brief stay in Portland
the United States transport Sherman
started down the river at 2 o'clock
this morning, bound for San Fran
cisco, where she will be taken out of
commission for a' general overhaul
ing. The, Sherman is a sister ship of
the Grant, now known as the Chi
nook, which was converted into a
dredge by the Government three
years ago for service at the Columbia
river bar. The Sherman expects to
go out over the bar at high tide to
day. It is announced from up river
that the high water mark has now
probably been reached and a steady
subsidence of the flood waters may
now be looked for. At some places
along the river the high water has
caused considerable overflowing and
consequent damage.

arrived in Sunday with a load cf
cement for Portland. She was out

ROCKEFELLER INSTITUTE.
Will Install a Vacuum Operating
Room Next Year.
NEW YORK. July 22 The Rocke
feller Institute will install next year
a vacuum operating room such as has
been exhibited there by Professor
Sauerbruck. of Marburg, Germany.
This operating room provides for op
erations in atmosphere free from mi
crobes. The operating surgeon will
have the pressure of the air upon tne
exposed parts of the subject much
less than in an ordinary room.
Prof. Sauerbruck used a dog to
illustrate the usefulness of the cabi
net. The doe's head was stuck
through a hole in the side of the
cabinet so that he could breathe into
the outside room. His body remain
ed inside the cabinet on a table. Two
sureeons went inside the cabinet, af
ter which it was hermetically sealed
except for an arrangement provided
to let in as much air as the surgeons
needed for themselves. This came
through a water cask which purified
it in its oassage.
The lungs of the dog which laid
bare inside the cabinet so that tuber
miosis serum could be applied direct
ly for experimental purposes. It is
asserted that the use of the vacuum
operating room will make it much
safer for the subject on the table
since the exposed parts will be much
less exoosed to germs in the air
Moreover, it is claimed that the
vacuum makes it safer to remove
nart of a lung infected with tuber
culosis germs. Besides the lungs can
be kept exposed to the surgical eye
a loneer time while the subject goes
on breathing just as easy as if the
whole operation were inside an ordi
nary oneratinsr room.
It is said that the operating cabinet
to be installed in the Rockefeler In
stitute will be much larger than the
cabinet brought over and exhibited
by Prof. Sauerbruck.
Kemp's Balsam will stop any cough
that can be stopped by any medicine
and cure coughs that cannot be cured
by any other medieine. It is always
the best cough cure.

TORPEDO BOATS
THE HARBOR
TWO OF THE LITTLE NAVAL
CRAFT DROPPED IN ON
THEIR JOURNEY DOWN THE
COAST.
The torpedo boats Goldsborough
and Rowan came in over the Colum
bia bar yesterday morning and an
chorcd out in the river. Later in the
day they both tied up at one of the
docks. This morning the Fox and
Davis, two more of the torpedo boats
that have been up to Portland since
the Rose Festival there, are expected
to arrive down. From here the little
fleet of four will go down the coast to
Eureka, where they are scheduled to
appear for the Fourth of July, after
which they will proceed to ban
Francisco.
Lieutenant Ghent s in charge of
the Goldsborough and Lieutenant
Brillhard in charge of the Rowan,
which is the smaller of the two
vessels.
The miniature war vessels are not
built to withstand rough weather on
the seas with any degree of comfort
to those on board, and it was rather
a tired lot of men on the Golds
borough and Rowan when they ar
rived at Astoria. Long and narrow,
they roll heavily, though it is prob
able that there is little real danger
of them being swamped in any ordi
nary sea.
"We had a fairly good trip down,"
said Lieutenant Ghent, ' "and the
Goldsborough proved herself a good
sea-going boat. We came down from
Bremerton, starting at an early hour
Sunday morning. Everything went
very well, except that we have had
little or no sleep, and the worst sut
fered among us, I believe, is the
steward. Yes, he's a Chinaman, and
unfortunately many of his dishes
were broken by the heavy rolling. I
am sorry to state that our steward
has not taken a fancy to the Golds
borough; he has been for many years
accustomed to the life on the big
naval vessels, and the life on the
little Goldsborough is proving pretty
strenuous for him."
The Chinese steward was the first
man to jump ashore when the tor
pedo boat drew tip to the dock.
When the Goldsborough and Row
an anchored out in the river yester
day the former began to drag her
anchor rapidly, and it became vir
tually necessary to tie up at the dock.
The officers and men were especially
glad to do this as they were all badly
in need in sleep, which they hardly
would have secured if they had kept
out in the stream behind a drifting
anchor". '
Many people availed themselves of
the opportunity to see the torpedo
boats yesterday afternoon, and the
officers permitted them to go on the
decks of the Goldsborough. Prob
ably today similar leave will be given
to visitors and the little vessels are
well worth while looking over. They
are not destroyers.
The Goldsborough has a rating of
30 knots; the Rogan of 27. The for
mer is rated at 6000 horsepower, the
latter at 3200. The Goldsborough
cost upwards of a quarter of a mil
lion dollars, and at first was not a
success, not until the government
took hold of her and built her over
to a considerable extent. The cost
of the Rowan was $160,000. The ex
treme length of the Goldsborough is
198 feet, her extreme width being
only 20 feet. The extreme length of
the Rowan is 170 feet, her extreme
width being only 17 feet.
Many of the men were given shore
leave last night. They are a lot of
fine looking fellows.
KEENS "COLIN"
After Winning Two Big Stakes Will
Try For Another Saturday.
NEW YORK, June 22.-Col'in's
next engagement is in the Coney Is
land Jockey Club stakes of $25,000 to
be run on Saturday at Sheepshead
Bay and barring accidents, he is al
most sure to go to the post, a $10,000
event. Colin won the Tidal on Satur
day and it is Mr. Keene's ambition to
have him win the other more for the
glory than for the $10,000.
The distance of the Coney Island
Jockey Club stakes is a mile and a
half and the best threeyear-olds are
eligible, including Colin, Celt, Fair
Play, Dorante King James, Chapul
tepec, Hessian, Stamina, Royal Tour
ist and J. M. Gaffney. The horses
must meet at weight for age so that
in a truly run race Colin has the rich
prize at his mercy.
ALARMING AMOUNT
OF TRUANCY
IN ASTORIA ONE-HALF THE
CHILDREN, ARE NOT IN
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, IT
IT IS SAID.
There are only about 1300 pupils
in the Astoria public schools now
though it is estimated that many
more ought to be in attendance. .
The question of the number of;
PtiniU in attendance raises an inter
esting problem which the board of
education will probably have to con
tend with next year far more vigor
ously than ever before. The popu
lation of Astoria is just about 15,000;
by the usual method of computing
the number of children of school age
there should be at least 3000 pupils
between the ages of 4 and 20; or,
conservatively, there should be ap
proximately 2S00 children over 6
years of age enrolled in the schools.
Hence there were, apparently, hard
ly more than one-half in actual at
tendance, one child in every two
either running, the streets or work
ing somewhere.
These figures are deemed rather
startling by persons interesed in the
public schools, though there are cer
tain reasons that tend to extenuate
the apparently bad conditions. Yet
even after every extenuating " cir
cumstances is taken into considera
tion, it is said by those familiar with
the matter to be only too evident that
rlitions are lamentably bad.
The question is, of course, not a new
one to the members of the Astoria
board of education, just as it is a
problem that has vexed every other
city in the state.
"There is one thing certain, said
a gentleman yesterday who is famil
iar with the situation, "and that is, we
will need more school buildings if the
law is enforced. For the present
buildings are none too large for those
now in attendance."
When asked in relation to the mat
ter yesterday afternoon, Superin
tendent Clark said the question had
been brought to the attention of the
board several times of recent years.
Mr. Clark also said that during the
present year he had reported no
fewer than 200 cases of truancy to the
chief of police, who is the truancy
officer, but that apparently the police
chief had not succeeded very well in
compelling attendance on the part of
the missing 200. It seems to be the
general opinion that it will be neces
sary to appoint a truancy officer who
is directly interested in the children
and who has nothing else to do, for
it is admittedly impossible for a
police chief-to handle such a problem
even if his heart were in the work.
"Some of the truants are at work,
perhaps," said Superintendent Clark,
"and others hang around town, in
pool halls and the like.1"
The new law requires that all chil
dren between the ages of 9 and 14
must go to school; between the
ages of 14 and 16 they must go to
school unless at work.
NEW YORK BOYS.
Will Celebrate Glorious Fourth by
. Hearing Eloquent Speakers.
NEW YORK, June 22. Many
boys of Greater New York are unit
ing in a project to celebrate the 4th
of July most patriotically and at the
same time most sensibly without
blowing off their fingers or shooting
out their eyes or starting costly fires.
At least 5000 boys, it is expected, will
gather at the City Hall here on the
glorious Fourth and while the stars
and stripes are floating in the breeze
above, will hear eloquent speakers
tell them how lucky they are to have
been born in this land of the brave,
instead of to have been imported.
The idea sems to have originated
in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn
where quiet is precious. It meets
with Fire Chief Croker's entire ap
proval and he has written an approv
ing letter to the man who started
the movement. Doubtless all the
ambulance surgeons and firemen
would have been glad to sign this
letter. Borough President Ahcarn
has given permission to the cele
brants to use the city hall portico as
a speaker's rostrum.
