The condl'tCon of the French navy Is causing 'thait country a good deal of un easiness. Experts examining into t'he question lately gave lit as 'their opinion that many of the baittle ships and new cruisers were unseaiwontlhy and would re quire very Uttfle m the way of hard knocks 'to end them to the bottom. The cause, lit is said, of itihis ruinous ildsaa ter is the constant alteraitlons to which itthey have been subjected. "When W. P. Mills and Mr. Burns re turned from Hoonoh harbor, states the Alaskan, they reported t'he loss of smuggling sloop in Fresfawater bay. The Sloop le supposed to belong to smugglers, as their book, now in possession of Mrs. McFarland of - Hoonah, show them In debted to several hundred dollars worth of liquor to Sound pairties. Possibly this sloop contained the cremr of smugglers reported killed by Kake Indians. Mr. Ii. R. Winter of Hapgood & Co. writes as Hollows: "In the issue of the Aarorian of the 3rd inst. ' I notice that J. M. Ganrcttson of Forest Grove asks for the weight of the largest salmon ever caught in the CoSumfala. It may interest you to know ithat the Aetwrlan's answer, we think, Is absolutely correct. On Dec oration day, May 30, 1893, we find that one Henry Frisdhsan, of Cathlamet, Wash., sent in a salmon a night oiid that weighed when it reached us Ti pounds. Hon. Geo. T. Myers, the Oregon world's fair commissioner, got one of the same weight at Oregon City. The "Spanish Infanta" dined off lit, so Myera always Ciaimed. From the returns cvmlplkd toy (Lloyd's Register of Shipping It appears that, ex clutilng warships, there were 339 vessels, of 707,079 tons gross, under construction In the United Kingdom at the close of the quarter ended June 30, lS'JG. Of these there were 2S9 steamers, of a gross ton nage of 667,141. There were also sixty silling vessels of a gross tonnage of 31, 234, including 32 bu'Ht of steel, of a gross tonnage of 31,990. The returns of ves- saOs "prepalring" (i. e. ordered but not commenced) show an increase as com pared wlitih last quarter, and are about equal to the llgaires reported twelve months ago. On the 30th June, 1S95, there was a total of 79 vessels prepalring, the gross tonnage being 163,680. A shark ten feet long was caught on a hook by a young lady while Ash ing for halibut fnom the deck of the steamship Queen at KiKsnoO banks be tween Fort Wrangel and Sitka, on a recent Alaska trip. The Queen lay there ait anchor for three tours to allow the passengers an opportunity to engage in the exciting (jport of halibut fishing, and a number of highly elated fishermen with large hook and lines were landing one and two large fish at a haul when a young lady, Miss F. A. Sprague, of San Francisco, discovered that upon her line wlas the strongest and largest fish of the season, with the heCip of a gentleman, the utfly monster was pulled to the sur face of the wlatcr. I was a 400 pound shark. 'Paul Loney, Uhougti but a oi'.a-handed man, says the Tacoma Ledger, has built in his leisure time during the last few months, a fine sail boat, which was taken down to the Sound last evening from Mentzer Bros.' mill in the west nd. Mr. Loney, a carpenter by trade, is foreman of the logging operations in the woods beyond the miil. Four or five years ago, when the mill was located at Fifth avenue and Junetlt street. Mr. Loney caught his right hand in the lath saw and had all the fingers of the hand taken off. He has learned to use his left hand and can now handle oarpe.nter tools with tulmoiat as dexterously as he formerly couid with his right. Ths boat which he has built, practically unaided, has a 20-foot keel, is 24 feet long over all and has a 6-fot beam. It is to be fitted with sai.s and used as a pleasure boat by.

Theie may or may not mature; but the fact will remain that The Dalle will be the head of navigation for tntany yeir to come, and this means considerable. says the Times-Mountaineer. It makes little difference to our business men bow many Mnes are constructed.

The possMl'Ue of growUb, and de velopment of ths city with an open river to tidewater are almost unlimited, and the next few years iwilj prove whether our people will take the tide at Its flood or drift on at low water mark aa they have in the past. t The river at present is at a very low stage and booting on the upper division is accanupClshed under difficulties. River captains state the channel could be kept open all the year toy the expendlturt of a few thousand dollars, so that boats might make Solum with little trouble. As lit is a great deal of valuable time is lost In getting over the bars, which makes navigation discouraging. It Is to be hoped that the government iwlll soon take proper steps to remedy this matter and enable Sukin and other up-river towns to have good rtver iconiimunlcatlon with Portland. Poet. , The rectent theft of salmon from Kin ney's cannery and several like ttepreda Hons in the past few months along var ious parts of Ithe water front should teach the cannerymem a wholesome les son. Several of the packing establish ments ait this end of t'he river are not only very loosely guarded at aright, but are so poorly constructed that it is an easy matter for a robber to effect an en trance. It is no exaggeration to say that In fully five canneries in 'this city there are dozens of openings leading down to dtlapMuted wharves and crazy tibandoned ladders which offer an easy chance for "the enterprising burgler" to carry on his operations. At this time of year when so many ithoudand cases of salmoa are stacked promiscuously alt over every available .inch of standing room In the canneries. It wfli be wise for the par ties interested! to have a thoroughly effec tive watch kept from sundlown to sun rise. The San Francisco Chronicle had In the first two columns of the first page of its issue Saiturdlay an interview WJth Baron Hickey, who calims sovere.lg.nty over" the small Island of Trinidad, which according to the Encyclopaedia "Is a small island in the Atlantic, In 20 30 S., 700 miles E. of Brazil, to which it belongs." What the baron said, and what the Chronicle re ported, is of no Importance, except that the enterprtsiLng Journal in question, to ii lustrate the article, gave a picture under which appeared the following legend: "Port of Spain, Trinidad, which Baron Hickey yearns to make the seat of his mplre." Now th Port of Spain Is tne dhtief town of Trinidad, one of the most southerly of the British West India Isl ands, has a population of over 30,000 in habitant::, has since t'he British occupa tion of America, been a pant of the Brit ish empire, and is, roughly speaking, some 1,000 miles north of the Trinidad that Baron Hickey claims.

Dainty Summer Underwear for Women of Fashion. Nothing in fUdalcra can be much more eiUR-aotlve to the woman of fastidious taste tli'in the dainty undergarments of finest laiwn, nainsook and slIm so tempt' ingly displayed in the slhopb. Especially soft and exquisite In finish are Ithe sum mer nightgowns, which aittter the nishion of dresses, are made with wide full sleeves of elbow "length, lor even shorter, like those of ball gowns, While the pre vailing wide collar of the g'owin is sen with new effect because it is fuller, very fluffy, und invariably becoming. One of the daintiest imaid'e (or warm weather Is of sheer nainsook and sleeve less, with the exception of la frill set in around the artmhoiies. This, with the vldo collar, is elaborately trimmed with a fine lmltaiUloin of Valenciennes lace. These fine gowns ure made long, and fully two yards around at the bottom, while many of them have insu.i.ions of lace or embroldiery set In above the hem.

These can be Utilized for negli ge wrappers very nloety said answer every purpose of ithat garment. The novel fichu cvjlar seen on the third gown of fine lawa is cut in Bectlons, iwlth handker chief corners forming a very graceful effect over the shoulders. Rare Maltese lace is teLng much used to trim nightgowtna and it wears and washes splendidly. Torchon Is 'also com ing into vogue again, and for batiste said linen laiwei goiwns It Is especially pretty. I washes so much better than some df the newer luces that it is sure to remain In form. Other pretty features of the datnlty nightgowns are the stock collaira and itrlmmlntar at ithe iwalst of wide embroidered Insertion, though Which wide ribbon is run, and 'the wide bishop sleeves with a IbUnd frill of lace at the waist. Chemises are dainty thin trifles of sheer liwn, itrlmmed with fine laoe and Inser tlo t. The most useful of these garments is the Marguerite, made full and trimmed at the bottom so that it serves the pur pose of an uindiomkilnt and corset cover. The thorn waist IS defined by a band of insertion across the front Only, and the ribbon is run through this and around the waist holds the fullnesU in pluce. The waist part is frequently made almost transparent with rows of insertion an lace.

Four times within1 the fust week Mrs. William McDowell, a New York lady, has been within imminent danger of death from accWIont, and in every case escaped wiitlhout hurt.

Kate Field says In a ipubllshled card; '1 do not wear bloomers. I have never mounted a bicycle, and my costume In bo way departs from that iwora by (he rest of my sex, except that I do not sweep the streets when I walk. When 1 learn to ride a bicycle it will not be to parade on thoroughfares or to make myself conspicuous." The empress of Austria has been dis tributing among her most intimate friends all her court costumes and light colored dresses. She says pathetically that she will never feel gay enough to wear colored dresses again.

The lad, Frederick W. Peck, died soon after writing the essay, and It has a peculiar meaning to his parents, teachers and schoolmates because he did to much, yet was only a boy.

The library Is on the top floor of an an nex to the school In Seventy-seventh street with pleasant reading rooms ad Joining, where boys can read and study reference books.
