An old river captain, who has navi
gated all the streams in this district
since 1850, tells a Telegram reporter
that never before had he seen the
Willamette and Columbia rivers eo
low in June as they, are now. it nas
always been calculated by steamboat
men that during the present month
there-would be lots of water in the
rivers. Heretofore at Itoseason the
river was always over the lower does

A newly invented instrumentto pre
vent collision at sea is called the eo
phone. The eophone is desenpea as
follews: That part which meets the
eye is a sound receiver made up of
two narrow compartments separated
from each other by a partition. Tho
receiver is rotatory, and the sounds,
reach tho ears of the listener through
the separate tubes. -When the re
ceiver is pointed directly at the sound
the vibrations enter both ears. The
slightest turn to right or left shuts off
the sound to one of tho compartments.
It is, therefore, necessary; when de
termining the direction of a sound, to
turn the instrument until the sound is
heard in both ears, whereupon a
pointer shows the exact direction.
By detecting tho direction of a sound
a vessel can steer accordingly, and
avoid a collision. The eophone 'can
also be used to detect the presence of
iana, iceDergs ana outer large Dooies.
A whistle or horn is blown on the
around the echo will be caught in the
receiver ana its position ODtainea it

To-day Emma Frischkom.aBed 15i
years, and May Buckley, 18& years
old, ware tried before judge Tanner on
charges of vagranoy.
rouoe officers Austin, Thomas and
Wood testified to the lewd and disso
lute life the defendants were leading,
visiting saloons at all hours of the
night and getting intoxicated. Dur
ing the examination of the Frischkorn
girl she never flinched under the many
eyes fastened upon her, and perjured
herself in the most unblushing man
ner. She said that she did not believe
it wrong for a girl to visit a saloon
and drink a glas3 of beer.
John Frischkorn, her father.testified
substantially that he had no personal
control over the girl and frequently
requested officer Thomas to keep her
out of badcompany, and it he could
not do so to arrest her.
May Buckley testified: "I stayed
out late at night to take in the town."
uiiy Attorney Adams wnat ao you
mean by taking in the town?

it I didn't do anything wrong; I
only went into saloons to drink a glass
of "sody" and" play casino and whist
with other girls and boys.

OH B0ABD THE "ALBATBOBB.'
A Veiy Pinely Equipped Vessel.
An iBtrmtlss Branch of the Service.
By invitation of CapL Tanner a rep
resentative of Tun Astobiax visited
the U. S. steamer Alb alrossj at anchor
in the stream opposite the city yester
day,, and was courteously shown all
over the vessel by that gentleman,
who took a pride'and pleasure in dis-
E laying the arrangements of a craft
uilt for a special purpose, and filling
that purpose in an admirable manner.
The noticeable feature of tho Alba
tross, apart from her strength and
compactness is the arrangement amid
ships, which is devoted to the practi
cal work of the.naturalist3 and profes
sional gentlemen who accompany the
expedition;
The Albatross was built under the
direct personal supervision of Capt.
Tanner, and is the result of ten years'
practical experience in this department
of public service.
The Albatross and her cruise nra
for tho development of knowledge
concerning the coast, deep sea explo
rations, and soundings, location of fish
ing banks, and their probable value,
the habits eta, of deep sea fishes, and
a multitude of minor duties that
busily fill every hour of every one on
board.
Descending from the upper deck is
found a room filled with aU the appli
ances so familiar to a naturalist, but
so unintelligible to one who doesn't
sabe birds and fishes. Instruments of
all kinds, acids, preparations, tables
and all the necessary appliances, bril
liantly lighted by electricity. Below
is another compartment filled with
fish in very good spirits: each speci
men has a bottle of spirits, all to itself.
Here are all kinds of fish, and marine
life from infusoria to a devil fish, all
caught on board the Albatross, and
hauled up, some of them, from a depth
of 3,0Q0, and in some instances 4,000
fathoms.
Here also are all sorts of deep sea
gear, trawls, Norwegian nets, patent
thermometers, logs, sounders, some of
them costing 50 apiece. Suspended
from the deck floor are some glass
balls six inches in diameter, hollow,
three-sixteenths of an inch thick.
These glass spheres have an inscrip
tion which says that the water in them '
was forced through the glass at a
depth of 2,600 fathoms, entailing a
pressure of 7,600 pounds to the square
inch. It appears incredible that water
could be forced through, glass, .but
there is the water-inside, and there is
tho compressed air in the space left
unfilled by the water. If heated they
burst, with disastrous effect to all in
their vicinity. :
. Hanging alongside are ingeniously
contrived instruments that are self
registering, and at the depth of five
miles from the surface, show with sci
entific accuracy the temperature, the
kind of bottom, the density, etc., and
close by are trawls, specially invented
that bring up fish and other forms of
marine life from the deepest ocean.
"When I began this service, ten
years ago," said Capt Tanner, "I was
only able to trawl at an extreme denth
of 150 fathoms. Now, with this, fish J
at me aentn or. s.uuu latnoms can be
brought to Ihe surface for examina
tion." This is a good illustration of
tlie progress and efficiency of the
entire service.
The third compartment in this
amidships arrangement is full of
storesj-amongwhichis several, thou
sand gallons of alcohol, enough. 'to'
blow 41 fleet' to Kingdom ceme:
This is all shut in by -steel plate
from the other parts of the. vessel, and
in case of disaster can bo made into
an immense. float.
On the bow is a rigging for taking
deep sea "soundings. The outfit let
down into' the water on each occasion
costs- about $100, and if the wire
breaks the whole business is lost
Should it break three or four times,
during 'the-"day there is objection
made all along the line. A patent
steam gear to work the trawL a steam
steering apparatus and a device fitted
up on the stern to take instantaneous
soundings attract casual notice.
On the port side is hung ready for
lowering a steam launch; it 'has a
propeller blade directly in the center,
under the boat's keeL On the starboard
side hangs another one, a stern pro
peller. These little boats are built
of thin mahogany and spruce boards,
clinched, and cost 83,000 apiece.
Some idea may be gained of the
substantial character of the vessel by
stating that though she is only 331
tons burthen, net,' she cost, just as she
lies, 8200,000.
She has everything that science can
dictate or the service can require, and
is a model of clean, smart, American
intelligence. ' ' '
Capt Tanner, who is a remarkably
zealous officer and evidently fitted by
nature, education and experience for
the post he fills, brought down his
latest charts for the reporter's inspec
tion. From examination, accompanied by
the captain's explanatory comments,
it was gathered that the only halibut
banks on the-- northwest coast are
those off, northwest of Cape Flattery,
at tne entrance to tne straits of Han
Juan de Fuea, and, possibly at Heceta
bank, Lat 44 X, lion, 124", 40' W.
The soundings off the mouth of the
Golumbiariver, went further to the
westward than the usual soundings of
the U.S. coast and geodetic survey,
and are interesting, as they show the
existence of a submarine canyon or
valley, evidently tne bed of an ancient
river, parallel to the present banks of
the Columbia, and apparently indicat
ing the' .course of our noble stream
when it emptied into the ocean about
35 miles due west of its present
mouth.
About that distance 'to the west
ward, soundings by the Albatross
show, on the nortS of. this vallev
78, 102, 231, and 421 fathems: on the
soutn, 475, 36, andGOl fathoms, when
ine ieaa snows deep sea soundings,

Astobia, Juno 12, '89.
Emron Astebxax:
Tho Oregonian and the O.K. & N.
Co;, think that the board of pilot
commissioners act'queerly.
Tho duty of the board is to main
tain a sufficient number of pilots on
the bar and river to furnish efficient
service.
Tho schooner Gov. Moody has
enough regularly licensed pilots for
the bar. The O. B. & N. Co., have
tugs and are unwilling to. affiliate
with the pilots on the Echooner, so
hired some of them aboard their tugs,
and branches were renewed to those
so attached to the tugs.
There are and were enough' pilots
for the riTer more than can .make
good wages under the old law; more'
man can mace a living under tne new
rates.
Branches of the old pilots have been
renewed. Some new applicants have
been presented to the board, but
their consideration has, for the time be
ing been postponed. The.appointment
of new additional men will starve out
the old pilots, men who' have faith
fully followed this avocation for many
years, and against whom there i3 no
complaint The new men cannot
work cheaper than the old, but they
are to be paid by a corporation
and to perform other service for the
corporation and be really in the em
ploy of said corporation though nom
inally acting as state officers.
Th& river pilots think the now lnw
invalid and have brought a suit to
test it
If invalid the O.B. & N. Co. will
probably not be willing to carry out
the plans it proposed to do on the
passage of that law.
if the law is valid it is am to prob
able that no one will care to run
against the O. K. & N. Co., and the
board of' commissioners will find it
necessary to appoint' pilots from the
O. B. & N. Co.'s employes, because
none others will act
Just what motives control tha com
missioners in their actions I do not
know, but looking on dispassionately
with ihe interest of the state at large
I do not see why they should be as
sailed or browbeaten for moving
slowly.
Tbe new law will be tested in a few
days.
At this time of the year, but few
ship3 come into tho river so that the
O. R. & N. Co. can be but little hurt
if the old pilots carry tho vessels up
and down tho river for a few days or
even weeks.
But to show that they do not pro
pose to oppress the commerce, of the
Columbia river, the pilots have' offered
and X doubt not that they are as
gooa as tneir word to pilot tor noth
ing until a decision shall be reached
in the present suit to test the law.
Tnen whichever wav the suit mav
be decided the pilotage question can
be more readily determined and
settled to the satisfaction of the pilots,
the owners of tow boats and the neces
sities of commerce-'at1 large. Thus,
nt present, it does not seem fitting for
the owners of tow boats to rush at tho
commissioners and "demand" the is
suance of licenses to men, some of
whom have never been examined, just
as if the board were appointed to
simply do the bidding ot.the O. R..&
. JO.
The commissioners were nhosnn hv
the state of Oregon, sworn into office
to maintain an efficient corp3 of pilots
and not to hastily; -appoint tho em
ployes.of tow boat companies.
