Jupiter Pluvious poured down his
gentle drops so incessantly yesterday
that the beamy countenance of Old
Sol will probably be hidden for a
Tveek. If Noah was here he would
n doubt be building an ark.
An impromptu musical entertain
ment at Mrs. Arrigtmi's papular hotel
on Monday evening proved an enjoy
able one. It afforded an opportunity
for several amateurs to display great
volume of voice and rare brilliancy of
expression which was becomingly ap
plauded and appreciated.
We are informed that a few of
the younger young ladies connected
with the Presbyterian church are per
fecting arrangements for a pleasant
sociable to be given by them at the
Young Men's Christian association
rooms on Friday evening next. As
this is their first attempt in this direc
tion, we doubt not every effort will be
made by them to make it a success.
We are promised further particulars
to-day.
The excursion of the Pacific Coast
Press association left San Francisco
on the Arizona express yesterday, for

The programme is to visit the River
side and Los Angeles fairs, Old aud
New San Bernardino and the orange

valley. Each editor, publisher and
accredited reporter of any paper pub
lished on the Pacific coast is entitled
to join this excursion, for which a very
low rate has been given by the rail
way authorities.
The Portland Standard of Satur
day says: "The little steamer Emily
Stephens has been withdrawn fron the
piloting and towage opposition on the
bar, and has been bartered for a
sealing cruise off cape Flattery. She
came up the river day before yester
day, and leaves this morning for her
new station, to be absent several
months." The Emily Stephens is a
schconer, not a steamer, and was never
employed as opposition on the bar.
She was recently picked up on the
bar, derelict, the account of which,
since published in newspapers through
out the state, renders the Standard no
excuse for such blunders.
Again for the Arctic.
Capt. C. L. Hooper, of the United
States revenue service, has received
orders to fit out the cuttor Tims. Cor
win, now in San Francisco harbor, for
another Arctic cruise in search of the

tion, if possible, to complete all neces
sary arrangements and have his-vessel
ready to sail by the first day f May.

The census of Oregon Gitv a
taken by the school clerk is as follews:
Votor5, 250; females over 20, 208:
botween 4 and 20 years, 157; under 4
years, 58; males between 4 and 20
years, 108; under 4 years, 40; total
population, 1121. This estimate does
no include Chinese or Indians.
Solucius Garfielde, at one time
the most prominent man in Washing
ton torritory, and accounted one of
the most interesting public speakers of
this coast, is said to be reduced to
keeping game in a gambling house at
Washington, where he sat in congress
for two terms. This man had great
natural qualifications, and his fall is
lamentable.
The Seattle Daily Post, of the 2d
inst., says: "On Monday a pueer
discovery was made out at Newcastle
in the mine. The men engaged in
oue of the rooms found imbedded
in the coal petrified snakes quite a
large number. They are judged to
be about five tr six feet long. As yet
none in porfect condition have been
taken out. Rev. Mr. Wirth brought
a section in with him yesterday.
The prospect is now good for es
tablishing a beet sugar factory, either
at Puyallup or upon White river.
Capitalists whose attention have been
attracted by the tests of beets raised
in that valley and White river, now
offer to establish the enterprise if the
farmers can guarantee a . supply of
beets. The whole will cost not
less than $200,000, and employ over a
hundred men in the factor', besides
those required in the fields.
The mortgage of .$G,000,000,
given by the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company, on personal and
real property to the Fanner's Loan &
Trust company, also a mortgage of $5,
000,000 in favor of the same company
given by the Oregonian Improvement
company on their real and personal
propert'. is now being recorded at the
auditor's office at Walla-walla. The
magnitude of the task can be fully ap
preciated when the fact is taken into
consideration that the printed instru
ment occupy 150 pages of closely
printed matter, which undertaking
will take Capt. Ornu at least .three
weeks to complete. These mortgages
will have to be recorded in every
county through which the Oregon
Railway and Navigation company's
line passes and in whatever county
the Oregon Improvement company
holds property. It is estimated that
the recording of these deeds -will cost
at least SI ,200.

The Velocity of Sound in "Water.
The velocity of sound in water has
been the subject of patient investiga
tion. In the Scientific American of
February 2(ith is given an article on
the subject with two illustrations.
Observers were placed in two boats,
which wore moored at a certain dis
tance apart on the lake of Geneva.
One boat was furnished with an appa
ratus, by which a submerged bell was
struck, and at the same instant that a
charge of gunpowder was iguited in
the air abave it. In the other boat
an oar trumpet was used to detect the
arrival of the sound through the wa
ter, tlie lapse of the time betweon the
noise and the ilash being noted by a
chronometer. By this meau3 it was
ascertained that sound travels in wa
ter at the rate m 4,7u3 feet per second,
being about four times more quickly
than in the air. It must be under
tood that the velocity of sound in
water, as in air, is subject to variation
by temperature; the higher the tem
perutuie the greater the velocity.
Many practical tests have been made
by which the distance sound could
travel through water was ascertained.
A most singular phenomenon of this
nnture was experienced by the writer
several months ago, in this vicinity.
It was on a clear Sunday, in company
with others, we were returning from a
trip tip Lewis and Clark river, whither
we had been on a fishing tour. When
within about one mile from the mouth
of the river, which empties into
Youngs bay, a loud rumbling sound
was detected 03 the ear which imme
diately attracted the attention of all,
and this singular noise gave an amount
of pleasurable and interesting study
to the entire party. The boat glided
slowly down the stream, and, as a nat
ural consequence, the sound was more
distinct, and it soon became apparent
that it was caused by a horse, hitched
to a buggy, trotting on the streets of
Astoria. This was at least four miles
from this city, and so distinct was the
sound that evory step taken by the an
imal was ilainly heard. This may
seem to some n exaggeration or utter
imposbibilit', that a sound caused
himpby b the movement of a horse
aud buggy m the streets of a city
should be conveyed x distance of four
miles: but it is, nevertheless, a fact,
and might probably be more clearly
understood when it is taken into con
sideration that the streets from whence
the sound came are constructed on
piling and surrounded entirely by
water. A practical test might reveal
the fact that when the atmosphere is
in the proper state, sound may be con
veyed through water for a consider
able distance.
The epizootic still prevails
throughout the state.
Mary Beam, a pretty well be
haved young lady of 24 years of age,
residing on Smith rher, nearCheatco,
Curry county, a few days ago commit
ted suicide by swallowing strychnine.
From the appearance of the last
number of the LewiBton Teller it
would seem that their paper stock had
been exhausted and they were com
pelled to fall back on dry good stores.
Right of way for the Dayton flume
has been secured, and the work of
building will commence immediately.
The railroad has been graded from
Walla-walla to Dayton, and the track
will be laid to meet the tin me.
The Dalles Times ys: "The
snow king, who has -reigned over this
country for the last three months, has
at last vacated his throne. Chinook
winds and rain during the week broke
the back of winter, and the weather
at present is as salubrious as spring.
The Klickitat hills are once again free
from their wintery covering, and those
north of the city are also showing
their natural growths. The streams
have been swollen, and in some parts
of town the walks have been flooded
by rills from the melting snows. Mill
creek has been higher than was ever
remembered at this season of the year,
and the water of the Columbia has
gradually increased in volume."
