are to make known plans for better
ment, such as the establishment of
postal savings banks and the exten
sion of the parcel post. Wherever it
may be impracticable for po&tmnsters
to deliver the lectures they are to fur
nish the necessary information to the
school supervisors so as to equip the
regular teachers. It is the postmas
ter general's expectation that the
school children will be useful to the
postal service in seeing that letters
are properly and plainly addressed.
That there is necessity for action
of the 'kind, is shown by the volume
of business transacted by the dead
letter office. During the last year
13,145,172 pieces of mail matter were
sent there because the postoffices were
unable to read them.

BY THE WAY!.
Speaking of Astoria's big prospec
tive sea-wall:
To what height shall it be built
above low water mark?.
To what official grade, or base of
grades, of this city, will it conform?.
Where will the wall start? Where
will it end?.
What course will it pursue to ren
der the best service?.
What depths will it traverse, and
upon what volume of base?.
Will it follow the pier-head, or har
bor, line throughout?.
Will it follow an independent line
inside both of these?.
Will it be built, once, or permanent
materials, rock, or cement?.
Will it be built of piling and planks;
for constnat re-building?.
Will it be built as a whole; or in
sections?.
Has the route ever been surveyed,
sounded or understanding traver
sed?, j
Has the scheme ever been apprais
ed, exactly, or approximately?.
What is the real, or even probable
cost of the enterprise?.
Has anyone a tentative plan of the
work, indicating its range?.
Has anyone ever figured its finan
cial relation to the existing debt of
Astoria?.
Have the people a right to- essen
tial answers to these questions?.
Should the answers be made before,
or after, the city is committed to en
terprise?
Why cannot the Po,rt of Astoria
Comissibn build and maintain the
wall?.
Will it not pay to have these prob
lems solved before we build?.
Will it not pay to pay to have them
answered before we begin?.
If so, get to work at the best sourc
es of information?
Will you?.

proposition will be worth stowing

These hundred vessels, or more,
each carry from 1,000 to 1,500 tons of

What -The Japana Statesman Told
A California Congressman.
NEW YORK, Sept. .-Congress
man McKinley of California, in an ad
dress at the Metropolitan Temple told
of a conversation he had with Mar
quis Ito of Japan three years ago, in
which the marquis predicted the awak
ening of Asiatics and Japanese in par
ticular, along manufacturing and oth
er industrial lines and foreshadowed
the competition in manufacturing the
goods which Japan would one day
give the United States. That predic
tion, the congressman declared had
come to pass and already the country
is beginning to feel the effect of the
labor of Japan and other Asiatic countries.
"I don't see why you people of the
United States object to the coming of
Japanese labor to your shores" ob
served the marquis to me" said Con
gressman McKinley. "We can spare
you millions and China can spare you
more, they are the most docile and
adaptable people in the world. It
seems to me that if you fill your fac
tories with our laborers you could,
soon undersell all the nations of Eu
rope." -
In reply to this the congressman
told the marquis that he was looking
at the matter only from a Japanese
standpoint.

WASHINGTON, "Sept. l5.The
marked interest in aeronautics ha
been noted by officials of the Smith
sonian Institution and National Mu
seum. Prof. S. P. Langley, who
built the first successful power driven
model of an aeroplane, was secretary
of the Smithsonian Institute and his
various models, the famous Langley
aerodrome and the numerous aero
plane parts used in his experiments
in aerodynamics are now in posse
sion of the institution. These and
other exhibits in the institution are
being arranged into a special exhibit
ey Geo. C. Mayhard, assistant cura
tor of the national Museum and a
bibiliography of aerial navigation has
been compiled.
Octave Chanute, the father of aero
nautics in the United States yester
day offered to build one of his glid
ing machines for the Aeronautical
Exhibit and it is understood that the
Wright Brothers will present the In
stitution with a model of their latest
flying machine and one of their ear
lier gliding machines.
As soon as the new building for the
Smithsonian Institution is completed
the aeronautical exhibit will be ar
ranged to show each step in the pro
gress of aerial navigation from the
hot air balloon of Jos. Montgoificr
in 1782, to the Wright Brothers aeroplane.
On exhibition now are three model
aerodromes constructed by Prof.
Langley, two with steam motive pow
er and the other with a gasoline en
gine, and all of, which have made
flights.. The Langley, aeroplane,
which was wrecked has been rebuilt
but has never yet ben exhibited. One
of Lilenthal's two winged gliding
machines, a model of Hargrave's com-1
pressed air flying machine, which flew
a distance of 319 feet; Stringfellow's
aeroplane model which was exhibited
in the Crystal Palace, London, in 1856
and the engine of which was far ahead
of the development of that time and
numerous motors, propellers, wings,
kites and other interesting parts of
aeroplanes, are now in the possession
of the Smithsonian Institution. The
dirigible balloon brought over to this
country by Santos Dumoiit will also
be exhibited. The exhibit and Iibri
ry on aeronautics will be of vast in
terest to the public1 as well as aero
nauts. -
