Ciik uio, June 10 A special to the
Tribune, duted Washington, June 10,
uyt : I'resietent rumors are ailoat that
McKinlt'v bus decided to call an extra
tetei in (it congress to deal with the Chi
mice situation. If war exists in China
jrow'ni; out of the destruction of the
United Mutes and other legations, it will
be nuct'seury to send more troops to Chi
na. Oh inn to conditions In tho Philip
pines n i more troops can be withdrawn
safely. Therefore, it will requite author
ity from cmgroHs to furnish troops.
The minors of mi extra session cannot

Astokia, June 19. The belief is daily
becoming etronger among fishermen nnd
others interested in the industry that
the failure of the supply meuns that the
claims of the number of salmon propa
gated artificially have been exaggerated
to n very considerable extent. That sev
eral millions of young sultnon are turned
loose from the hatcheries annually ib
thought to be unreasonable, in view of
the steady falling oil in the catch, and
the success of the experiments conducted
on a small scale indicates that a mistake
must have been made in the count of the
fry.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
were a large number of fish marked be
fore being turned loose during the last
few yearp, comparatively few of them
have ever been hear.d of, although a very
close wutch Iiub been kept. At one of
the local cannneries the Chinese who
clean tho salmon have had n standing
oiler of CO cents for every fish discovered
with the adipose fin missing, and it is
extremely improbable that any marlud
Uah were overlooked. But, notwith
standing this incentive to vigilance,
only five marked salmon have been
detected this season.

ERRORS IN OUR EYES
Why the Use of Spectacles is Fast Be
coming Universal.
Many Xenons Troubles Traced to .Mal
formed Visual Organs, by A. T. Rob
erts, of San Diego, Cal., one of the
Most Successful Scientific Opticians
on the Coast, who will Have an Ofiice
in Room 4, Chapman Hlk, Cor. Second
and Wash. Sts., for a Short Time.
The fitting of glasses by a modern
optician is an entirely different mat
ter from the purchase of a ready-made
pair in stores or shop. It Is an under
taking of magnitude. The tests, ex
aminations and appliances are mani
fold; their uses puzzle the novice.
A person's eyes are often very un
like in their respective refractive pow
ers, requiring a very different glass for
each eye; the purchase of shop glasses
lenses of the same power for both
eyes Is consequently preposterous for
any age.
Eyo glasses or spectacles, properly
fitted, affoid, in many instances posi
tive relief from a long list of nevous
disorders. The human eye Is intimate
ly connected with the nerve center ot
the brain, over which it exerts a strong
sympathetic influence. If there is any
thing wrong with the delicate mechan
ism of the organ of vision, its effect Is
soon felt in the nervous system. There
may be no signs of trouble in the eye
itself, still an error in its refractive
qualities may be the direct cause of al
most any nervous trouble the body is
heir to. A person may be born near
sighted, far-sighted or astigmatic, and
not be aware of the fact themselves,
still either of these defects will in
many cases, bring about serious nerv
ous troubles, the cure of which would
then be impossible until the sight be
corrected with spectacles. This is the
assersion of leading specialists in
nervous diseases and diseases of the
eye, and has the unqualified endorse
ment of all reputable opticians. In it
may be found the cause of the fast-
spreading use of spectacles in all parts
of the civilized world, where the mod
ern theories of medical practice and
physiological conditions obtain. Tho
almost universal use of glasses does
not indicate an extension of impaired
vision in the human race, or the ex
istance of any new optical trouble; it
means, simply, that experts are trying
by artificial means to remedy the de
fects of nature.
We have discovered that it is possi
ble for nature to err in regulating
man's vision In much the same way as
it might send him into the world mal
formed in other parts of the body. Wo
find that tho eye is subject to what are
called refractive errors, which serious
ly .aifect the powers of accommodation
and induce abnormal strain, which, if
long continued, has an injurious effect
upon the nervous system, and nnaiiy
upon the vision Itself.
Tho range of tho visual field depends
upon the form of the eye. If both oyes
arc perfect in construction and ident
ically alike, the vision will bo normal,
but science lias demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the medical profession,
that nature does not always do its
worlc truly, and that many individuals
are elllicted with misforined eyes. To
make these misfoi'ined eyes perform
their work acceptably to their owner
requires an unconscious strain on tho
power of accommodation, which re
sults in a disordered condition called
asthenopia. People thus ailllcted will
struggle along. Ignorant of the real
causo of the trouble, until compelled
to consult a physician for relief from
nervous affections, when they will bo
surprised to learn It is spectacles, not
medicine they need.
Asthenopia includes pains lu tho
oyoliils and in tho forehead over the
eyes, In the top and back of head, and
In the sides of tho head just back of
t lio eyes, and Is frequently accom
panied by exlromo nausea and general
debility. When failure to obtain re
lief by the uso of ordinary remedies,
demonstiates tho fact that tho trouble
does not lio in ordinary causes, tho
careful physician will at onco suggest
tho consultation of an eye specialist.
This usually results in tho discovery
ot a refract ivo orror of some kind
which is readily remedied by tho uso
of properly fitted glassei, and in a
short time all symptoms nf asthenopia
disappear. Hxpmnntlon ot tins lies 111 1
tho fact that the glasses restore tho
vininn to tho normal stage, and by do-1
lug tills stop the forced strain on tho
powers of accommodation, and this is
a relief to tho wholo nervous syBtem.
That diseases of the body, supposed
oven by some of the most advanced
thinkers to hiivo no connection wltli
tho eyo, hnvo boen cured through tho
proper refraction of light through
glasses cau be proveu to your own sat
isfaction by calling on A. T. Roberts,
a life-long student and up-to-date prac
titioner in Optometry and a graduate
from highest authority in the United
States, who will show you hundreds
of testimonials, some of which are
even stronger than tho following:
Tills man had taken treatment for
fifteen years for his nilmcnts, under
the best physicians within his reach,
and had grown worse all the time un
til his eye-strain was relieved and this
is what he says about it after two
years:
Wildomar, Cal., Jan. 5, 1S9D.
Mr. A. T. Roberts,
San Diego, Cal.
Dear Sir: Nearly two years ago I
was in San Diego for my health, my
nervous system being broken to such
an extent that I doubted, my ability to
recover fully. I was one day talking
with you, and you gave mo an expla
nation as to how I could come to that
condition through imperfect eyes. I
let you fit me with glasses, not partic
ularly for my vision, which I thought
perfect, but to cure my nervousness
and neuralgia. The effect has been so
far beyond what I expected and what
you said it would be, that I feel called
upon it write my appreciation of your
skill. I was well of neuralgia within
one month, and my nerve has returned
so that I am now able to do hard work
on my ranch without trouble.
Respectfully,
G. P. LAWRENCE.
In the following case the lady came
to me and said sho would be compelled
to give up her school because of nerv
ousness and almost constant headache,
and I had difficulty in pursuadiug her
that there was even a chance that her
eyes were the cause, and now hear her:
liefore being fitted with glasses by
Dr. A. T. Roberts, I had a constant,
severe headache, and could not bear a
strong light on my eyes. My whole
nervous system was overtaxed by the
strain made on my eyes in order to see.
Since wearing the glasses which he fit
ted, I have had no headaches, my vis
ion by aid of the glasses is apparently
perfect; I am no longer troubled with
"nerves" and have continually gained
in weight and general health.
MRS. NELLIE E. MERRY,
Teacher in the Public School, San
Diego, Cal.
The next is a case where the gentle
man, Dr. Watts, a most thorough den
tist, now owning and managing one of
the finest suite of dental parlors on the
Western Coast, had for years been
totally unable because of nervousness
to do any kind of dental work or other
business. In fact Dr. Watts was a total
nervous wreck.
When I asked him if lie had ever
had an expert examination of his eyes,
he laughed rather sarcastically and
said: "I have studied anatomy all my
life and I know there is nothing wrong
with my eyes. 'Why! I can see better
than anyone I ever met." This was
true so far as vision was concerned,
but ho got this good vision at the ex
pense of his nervous system and thus
his eyes were his ruin. Hear what ho
says after five years:
San Diego, Cal., July 22, 1899.
Mr. A. T. Roberts Dear Doctor: In
answer to your favor of recent date, I
will say that there is no doubt In my
mind that the correction of the astig
matism by the' glasses you fitted for
me nearly five years ago have entirely
cured the nervous disorders which you
attributed to that cause, and I am glad
to state In addition to tho abovo that
there has been a marked improvement
in my general health, which retro
grades immediately upon my leaving
off my glasses. Yours truly,
L. W. WATTS, D. D. S.
I have In my possession thousands
of testimonials from persons, who like
tho foregoing, thought their cases
hopeless. 1 have not gathered these to
gether so much for advertising pur
poses, as to prove to tho public that
the eyo lias much more to do with tho
general health than they give it credit
for. I believe that 99 of every 100
cases of chronic sick headachs are be
cause of a constant strain on tho part
of the person, to overcome some un
suspected defectof vision; in fact, I liavo
never yot made an examination of such
a person's eyes, and found them per
fect. I am always glad to make n FREE
examination, and give 11 clear and sim
plo explanation In plain English, to
any one interested in tho subject.
Respectfully yours,
A. T. ROBERTS,
Scientific Optician.
