Tom Merry says that Josie Mans

A New York dispatch says salmon

Jas. P. Eowe, a resident of Seaside,
died last Monday, the Sth inst. De
ceased was in the 51st year of his age.
The" cause of his death was general
debility. The funeral will take place
from his late residence to-day.
An east wind yesterday morning
blew westward the smoke from the
heated interior and enveloped all out
doors, the landscape, waterscape, etc".,
in a blue haze. Later the wind
changed to the west, cooling and re
freshing the air.

T-- A'nuniber'of deep water vessels
have ben purohased lately by San
Franokco capitalists and will be
placed, on the coast coal trade. The
ship Harry Morse ha3 been bought
by L.E. "White, for S25.000, and she
will join Hanester, John A. Briggs,
Glory of the Seas, 'Levi O. Burgess,
William H. Macy, and others.
That "it is better to be born lucky
than rich" is well exemplified in the
ease of William Allen, of the Parker
- house. In the past eighteen months,
in the matter of winning at raffles, he
has won a music box, a sewing ma
chine, a $150 shotgun and a Winches
ter rifle. The last was won last night
at Gravea' saloen: Tom Linville cap
tared a split bamboo fishing rod on a
low throw.
It is sometimes quite amusing, says
the Tacoma Ledger, to see the great
number of Indian canoe oars and
paddles which tourists bring from
Alaska as old Indian relics. An old
Alaska pioneer says: "The most of
those caddies are made and nainted
- by Chinamen in San Francisco,
shipped to Alaska points and sold as
Indian relics, brought down to Ta
coma on the steamers and carried
thousands of miles away."

well known in Astoria, having been
.a former resident of this city. In
1879 and '80 he was stationed at Fort
Stevens. His death took place at the
Presidio, and was occasioned by heart
disease. Deceased was in the 50th
yeafof hisage.
1'Oapt. Heard of the British ship
-Duchess of Argyle tells a San Fran
cisco reporter that not long ago, in
Australian waters, his crew captured
an albatross, around whose neck was
fastened a small brass pocket com
. . pass, secured by three strands of cop
per wire. The box was very much
oxidized, and was only opened with
. . .dffieulty: Inside a paper was found,
on which, in faded ink, was written:
"Caught May 2, 1842, in latitude 38
6.' south, 40 14' west, by American
.ship 'Columbus." Capt Heard, after
4xing a plate around the bird's neck,
with the ship's name, the position and
-date of its recapture, and the account
, of. its original captors, let it go free.

Resrne of a Drowning Boy, Ycstpnlny.
Yesterday afternoon the carriers of
the Oregonian and News were on
Wilson & Fisher's dock awaiting the
arrival of the Telephone, and shortly
before she came in, one of the boys,
Willie Young, the thirteen-year old
son of Mr. Max Young, of Alder
brook, slipped and fell off the edge of
the dock into twenty feet of water.
A rush was made for the spot by sev
eral who saw the boy fall, or heard
the splash, and hastened to the rescue
of the boy, who sunk, then rose, and
was sinking the second time. One of
the first to reach the spot was E.
Inglesdad, of the TJ. S. steamer Mc
Arthnr. He doffed his coat, sprang
into the water and saved the boy from
drowninL'. a hundred ready hands be
ing extended to grasp the lad aud his
rescuer as they approached the dock.
Mr. Inglesdad deserves credit for
his promptitude and bravery.
In a few minutes the Telephone
landed at her accustomed place and
shortly afterward the boy was busy
distributing Oregonians around the
city.

In Brief, Anil to the Point
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and won
derful things in existence. It is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, aud many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember: No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the
dyspeptic Ask your druggist for a
