On one of our fishing excursions to Nekanikuui creek lost summer we made the acquaintance of Katata chief of the Clatsop tribe of Indians, and the old chief took up the question of the diminished run of salmon, calling our attention te the fact that the white race were not proceeding right to protect this great industry, as they unanimously ignore the use of salmon berries. Kateta informs us that if the fishermen would do :is the Indians used to do, salmon would al ways "be plenty. He says the custom of Vne country used to be, before it was civilized, to pick salmon berries i n... .-i, mm rmd not to catch VVIIUU wic wan , any fish until the salmon Derru Ci ripe; then every fish caught was treated to a berry. As soon as the head of the fish was cut off a salmon berry was put into the memth, and the head placed in a position pointing -np stream, and plenty of fish always came. Katata's theory may be correct in one n.;n. o,l W. is this: If o fash c uight except durin the season What I Heard. I heard a lt-on Jim McDufF, A story tolled by a merry Bello; I hctrd a night hawk rye enough, Caught stealing oats from old Urinelk I heard a crowbar-k up a troe, Whilo the night-in-gales did slowly pasa; I heard a kiss sing by the sea. And thdn I heard an applo "sass." I heard tho "lay" of an old fat hen. As ehe cackled eggs-citodly: I heard the nii;ht (h)owl in tho clen. And the moon's tono sounding oor the lea- I heard tho cat-toll in tho barn. What to mo seemed mowsic lore; I even .heard a stocking-yarn, And then I could hear no moro. Stray Gems. TVeather Predictions. MISCELLANEOUS ; Too Tender Hearted. The Honolulu Advertiser says: "Nu merous instances have occurred, dur ing the past three years, in which are the salmon berry of the fruit is season, as very short, in would be a nev salmon. The Honolulu papers state that tin Fjilkinbunr arrived January tt, seventeen days from Portland. should be Astoria. Chinese have been fined in sums vary ing from 650 to 200 for infractions of fhr nninm law: and we call to mind several notable instances where for eigners have boen similarly and illegal ly let off with the payment of a money fine, instead of being sent to prison. The first officer of the bark Alden Besse, for smuggling 100 tins of opium, all probability there ! -d 259. The steward of the bark er-ending supply or . ent.nB Di8C0 was mnitched in the ' sum of 200 for a like offense. These are but two instances out of a great many. For the present, we will con-, elude our reference to this subject' with the remark that it must strike all I :.. ,-..1.... f.nt ,! mna fV?f rrrnf. Navigation asaw,lsuiai 1"- " 'V to be explained, tUat wniie a statute has been in existence all these years' which prescribed imprisonment alone as a punishment for the offence of im porting, selling or famishing opinm, yet our courts have gone on inflicting money fines in such cases." They are too tender-hearted. It "Old Probabilities," personified in General Albert J. Myer, Chief of the United States Signal Service at Wash ington, informs us that the forecast ing of weather for the Pacific coast is not so easy aud certain. As storms approach from the west, and no ob servations can be obtained from the ocean, the probabilities of weather must be calculated entirely from ob servations of the various instruments. The winter storms on this coast strike the warm current and are denectea, having a southeast direction as they come in. Escaping this influence thev circle eastward, usually with a slight northerly tendency. The more violent winds generally follow in the rear and on the sovitli side of the advancing area of lenvetft press ure; those that -precede the progress of that area may of ten be more dan gerous, however, "because of the ac fdmnftnvinrrrain and fogs. The latter winds are preceded by the .cirrus and threatening storm clouds. The rain that accompanies or follows these, generally abates, and thus gives warn intr 1? fh sfrmitr rl.iriii?-un gale.

It is said that the Hera has a full and general cargo of merchandise, groceries, etc. which will be opened in Astoria upon arrival here. We are certainly gratified that our old "boss," James O'Meara, has not forgotten Oregon. Tho article which wo rc-produee from the Examiner to day was written by him. Truthfully has he said of 'Oregon that "crime is unfrequent, because detection is gen erally swift, and punishment is sure mas- and severe. Harper s is tno leading house on this continent now. Their Magazine, Weekly, and Bazar find welcome re ception at some place in every point of the globe, even at the jumping off I place at Astoria, m Uncle bam s do mains. Look at the map; then see the periodicals in Astoria to-day, pub lished by Harper and brothers. A large amount of stock is snowed in, in the Blue mountains, and must evidently perish. The loss to the Tndians will be cons;derable. The large reservoir of the Welch hill waterworks was cleaned out yes terday, and is now prepared for busi ness. It looks as clean as a milk pan iuside. A vessel has been taken at San Francisco for Cork at 35s Gd. This may be deemed the bottom notch. New England ship owners refuse to charter for less than 40s. Cannervmen and business men in general will do well to examine Adler's new stock of Mank-boolcs and Stationery which he bought m the East and offers at less than Portland prices. The president of Astoria engine company, No. 1, got left in the rear when his company started out to drill last evening, and when last bueu uy our reporter he had found Peter, and was looking for the balance of the company, engine and all. The drill was a lively one all around. We received a very .pleasant call from Mr. Moffett, of Baltimore, yester day. Mr. M. and his mother are on a visit to the family of Mrs. Trenchard in this city, and they like Oregon very well indeed so far as they have been ,ble io look into it. We predict for them a very enjoyable visit. Councilman NoWien has resigned, -and upon the nomination of council- jaiiiooiv. Cant. Geonre Flavel was unanimously elected to fill the .position. In consequence of impor tant business of a personal character calling Capt. Flavel from the'eity, he . has felt that it was impossible for him &0 accept The annual number of the Com mercial Herald and Market Review is at hand. It contains an exhaustive and interesting review of the businesz of the year just past, and asr&e from its value to the merchants of this coast ind those doing business with the Pacific slope, it is an excellent me dium for informing friends abroad of the magnitude of the anterests of the coast. . .- A friend suggests that "Dundee forgets that there is a public building at Astoria, or the contemplated con struction of a railroad in this direc tion." Pooli, pooh; that's nothing. If Astoria can lose its light house district from such mercenary motives as actu ated the man who had it moved to Portland, where communication with tho gambling stock boards of the country is more accessible than at As toria, why cannot Dundee ignore As- ! toria intoirehji where people refuse to borrow money at usurious rates The paths of virtue and honor are some times pretty prickly; but so long as Astoria pursues an upright course she can defy Dundee, and the whole of them. 'A man who crocs around after wo- . 0 man is a good deal like a prospector hunting for a mine. You see a woman at a ball, and she is all frizzled up and rigged out in silk, and powdered and painted where the skin shows. These surface croppings look pretty well, but if you locate on the strength of 'em, you'll get fooled every time. A woman of that kind is just like a salted mine. Don't yon take any stock in her. She won't, wash. If you want to prospect a little further, slide up and take an assay of her con versation. Ah, my boy! Three per cent of intelligence, twenty-five of fashionable etiquette, and the rest frivolity, conceit, ignorance and vani ty, mixed up in about equal parts. Drop her. Such rock won't pay to mill. A woman's heart is a mighty curious thing. Take it in all its dips, spurc, angles, ramifications and sinu osities, and its more of a puzzle than the whole Comstock. Some fellows try to work it, and by pure luck, strike it rich right off, in placea where old experienced prospectors never supposed there was anything. Old Miner. minimum pressure blows toward that line directly or obliquely. The cen tral station for the Pacific coast is lo cated in the Merchants' Exchange building, San Francisco, and the rules of the department are that every fa cility be afforded the press and public generally in obtaining any desired in formation pertaining to the service.

Some important changes have recently been projected in Chicago t..i -u:t, t;h flrive an area of 490 naruurwmw & acres inside the breakwater, instead of only 270 acres as heretofore. The plan proposed has been prepared by captain G. CLydecker, United States omnnar in charge of the harbor, and had been approved by the authori ties at Washington. Work will soon be begun, at an estimated coat of $IS0,000. The -appropriation .made by congress last session for the harbor was $75,030, of which $25,000 has ftlrendV been used in dredging out the channel. We again renew the proposition that the harbor nt Astoria be placed under control of the United States engineers,, before it 11 xumed by improper usages.
