It has seen Astoria grow from a Httlo fish ing hamlet to iho second city hi the state in population, wealth and influence. It has kept steady pace with Astoria, grow ing as the community has grown who give it their generous support and its proprietors may be pardoned for saying that it has kept pace with tho growth of the city: it is believed to be fully up to the requirements of the situation and is at least as good a paper as any published in any community with a similar amount of English speaking psople in the United States. The yearly improvements in Tit:: As tosiax have been noted and commended by all and it is tho hop of those who work for its success that it will continue to be the exponent of Astoria's condition. Yithoat any intent to say other than that which any one can see'for himself it may be said that two daily papers can not live and prosper in Astoria. The place isn't large enough; there are not enough people here to make it possible. Two half-starved miserable concerns may eko out a wretched existence, but a newspaper to bo what it3 name implies mud be financially easy, must bo able to say what should be said without having f !?,, iTAiinil fn iinvnnf!

But the ed itor of the Orcgonian has moro power than any other man on this coast north of San Francisco and that goes a good way sometimes.

The most successful initiation cere mony that I ever saw in a collego secret society was ono that was popular at an Ohio school until an accident happened. Then part of it was dropped. That part was a skeleton." Tho speaker was a dealer in society re galia. Ho centinued: "We were initiation a sturdy young fel low who said he didn't believo in spirits or anything supernatural and this is how we did it: Ho was stripped to tho waist, one foot was bare, and ho was carefully blindfolded. Then we led him into tho darkened lodgo-room, where two guards grasped his arms firmly. As they led him slowly around tho room one of them said, in a melancholy veice: My friend for I cannot yet call you brother tho journey of life is before you. Consider it. Life is what wo make it, but trials must come, and sorrow and distress. Look well to your pathway.' " "That injunction was rather aggrava ting to n man who was blindfolded and led by two strong companions who were guiding him to n short, smooth plank rising at an angle of forty-five degrees. 'Man rises suddenly in life,' said tho guido as tho victim stumbled up tho plank to a hassock placed on edge, which rolled away and let" him sit down on the floor." 'He was picked up and led on as the uuide said: 'The path may bo smooth for a timc bnt obstructions uro sura to e across it, and then tho victim stum bled lengthwise over a ladder supported three inche3 above tho carpet, while his conductors moaned in unison. 'Even when iu troublo himself he may be called upon fo help a brother, nnd this ho should do to the utmost,' said the guide, who helped himself to tho victim's pocket-book. 'Last of all comes death. He is terrifying at best, but should it be vonr fate to meet him alone show yourseii a man, tor a crown awaits you er s skeleton. 'Do regular business secret societies use skeletons in their ceremonies?" " Certainly. There are several societies that use them. "Wo keep them in stock constantly. They are packed in half length cases, inado of pino or walnut, and are shipped by express all over tho coun try." "Somo skeletons ara plntn, with steel articulations, nnd whero thero is likely to be no strain tho hinge may be made of silver. Some of these high priced skelet- ons nro carefully polished, and gliston in J mense crop which now seema to bo as the light of tho lodge room.

II. Besse. Tho ship W. H. Besse, Captain Gibbs, which is tied alongside "Welch, Eithet fc Co.'s wharf at Victoria, passed through a terrible experience during tho earthquake and eruption that visited tho island of Java on August 27th, 1SS3. Capt. Gibbs allowed a reporter of tho Colonist to ab stract a few notes from his log in refer ence to tho matter. The vessel was on r. vovage from Manila to Boston, and was under sail between the islands of Batavia and Java at the time of the terrible disaster. Suddenly there was a quick succession of heaTy reports similar to the broadside of a man-of-war, only deeper, during the night. "When off St. Nicholas point, most terrific reports wero heard and a heavv black bank was observed to rise up from the direction of liiakato is land. Tho barometer fell an inch at a jump, rising and falling quickly iu this extraordinary manner, such was the ac tion of tho atmosphere. All hands wero called on deck, and sail secured just be fore tho squall Btruck the vessel with ter rific force. The anchors wero let go, the wind increasing to a hurricane, tho day becoming darker, until at noon it was blacker than tho darkest midnight. A heavy shower of ashes came with the squall, making tho air so thick that it was difficult to breathe, whilo a strong smell of sulphur prevailed, all hands ex pecting to bo suffocated. The scene was an awful one, forked lightning ran along tho sky making tho darkness more in tense, tho wind howling madly through tho rigging, and tho sailors thought the last day had surely come. The water was running through tho straits at 18 miles an hour towards the volcano. At 4 p. M. tho wind moderated, tho ex plosions only occurred at long intervals, and tho horrid shower of ashes, similar to pumice stone, and fino as flour, les sened. Tons of it covered the ship, sails and rigging wero coated with it, sticking so hard that weeks wero consumed in re moving it. A littlo still adheres to tho backstays. All day Tuesday tho men wero em ployed in shoveling tho ashes from the decks, cleaning cables and rigging, and rigging, and on "Wednesday afternoon tho vessel got under way, sailing cau tiously along, with reefed sails, and see ing no lights or sign of lifo on shore. A fair wind prevailod, but it was not known to what extent tho upheavals of nature had interfered with tho passage through the straits. The water wascovered with trees, dead bodies, fish nnd thousands of green coca nuts. Open sea was at last reached and for GOO miles was covered with ashes from tho volcano. A number of tho sailors wero taken ill with Java fever and one died, leaving only five to man tho vessel. Tho patients did not recover when port was reached, and were sent to the hospital, whero another died. During the progress of the event a sailor walked off tho forward house and wa3 so severely injured that ho died shortly after reaching Boston. The experience was an awful one and officers and men wero stricken with fear at the terriblo sight, nnd glad they were that they had beon spared from the sad fate that overtook, so- many thousands during the Java disaster.
