a it M.K..MifrM'H II 1 1 1 1 1 1 M MUM Sierra Breaks One Propeller, Runs On Other Oceanic Liner Steaming to Hono lulu With Half of Its Illades Idle. . 1 (Sari Francisco Chronicle,- Jure 30) 1 c I Along the Water Front , . The advantage of .a vessel propel led by two propellers 'ovor tl at -of the single type again has been dem onstrated. The Oceanic stecmship Sierra, Captain. H. C. Houjlette, which sailed Ivom Honolulu on Tues day is now steaming to the island port with one-half of the prorulsion power out of commission. This Vo calise the starbanlo prpuller broke, off Thursday afternoon when the ves sel was about 800 miles frori San Francisco. .' The only effect on the vessel was that the speed was reduced from in Ms knots to about, thirteen. In a wireless to the officials of the Oce anic line here Captain Houdlctte said ho would proceed right on to Hono lulu und tlio only rsult of tin- inci dent would be that he would iie de cayed about half a day. A SIMILAR HAPPENING. Tliis is the second time an accident of this character has involved one of the Oceanic vessels. Two yea s ago the Sonoma lost a propcllor ;i few days after leaving .Sydney. Captain I J. II. Trask calmly steamed ahead for Honolulu and this port with his remaining wheel nnd was but two days late when ho got here. If either of these' ships had been propelled by, a single propeller it would have been nccoesary to send out the usual "SOS" no was neces sary' when one .of the' Matson ships lost a wheel a few years ago. In that case another liner of the same company was not far away and aid ws granted nd a tow line passed to the crippled ship in a few hours The Oceanic officials here are not worried in the least and expect the Sierra to steam through to Honolulu without difficulty. The Value OF Twin Screws is even greater to coastwise vessels, which would more quickly drift against the rocks, than it is to vessels breaking down in mid-ocean. - ' - "Estabrook Line" jj STBAMER?AreAll "Thrill WWA7',, " Eoin pped with 1 win ocrewb " BACK ON-THE RUN ji "FIFIELD" Sailing from EANDON to SAN FRANCISCO LOS ANGELES and SAN DIEGO Tuesday, July 14th, 4 p. m.

Extending from Cairo to tho pyra mids of Glzeli Is an electric trolley line which Is used chlelly by tourists. The trunks of huge palm trees serve as trolley poles to support the over head conductor, and the contrast be tween the modern hurrying motorcars nnd the peaceful centuries old tombs of tho pharaohs holds the Interest of many a contemplative traveler. At one side of the trolley conductor on bell shaped Insulators are run tho feeders, which, like the trolley wire, nro of bright, hard drawn copper. After these wires had been Installed It was booh found that they Invariably broke and fell within1 six or seven months, the cross section being much reduced at the point of fracture. Investigation showed that the desert winds which sweep across tho right of way whip sand particles against tho wires, causing a filing action which cuts away the copper much like ar artificial sand blast Thp glass globe." of arc lamps Installed along the road have exhibited the same destructive action. A similar effect is observed with the Incandescent units used to light the way' to tho sphinx. These strings of lamps, besides having to bo moved at frequent intervals to accommodate the varying level of the shifting sands, are rapidly eaten nwny by the etching no tion of tho desert winds. Thus far no remedy has been discovered for thin destruction except frequent renewals. -Electrical World. LODGE DIRECTORY 0 Q Loyal Order of Moose. Meets Thursday evenings in I. O. O. P. hall.

Coquille Herald: In the divorce case of Bertha R. Stlllwell against John R. Stlllwell tho divorce asked for was granted to. the plaintiff and she was awarded the custody of the minor children with an allowance for their support of $25 a month from tho father. She' wis also decreed to be the owner of 120 acres of land about eight miles below Bandon which had been in controversy. Still- well did not appear at the trial. John N. Auer, a sturdy young far mer of Lampa, decided that single blessedness is a delusion, so ho brought one of Coos county's fair daughters before Justico Stanley to day and as a result there is no more Miss Georgia Gilkey, but henceforth sho is Mrs John N. Auer. The moth er, Mrs. Cora B. Gilkey, a brother, Ray Gilkey, and n sister, Mrs. Grace Hand, composed the party who wit nesesd tho ceremony, Mrs. Hand hav ing conio from near Hillsboro t be present.

The value of air as a noise nnd sound medium enn readily be ascer tained by suspending n bell from a silk strand through the neck of n largo bottle from wrtlch the air has been pumped. By pulling on the silk the tongue can be seen to strike the sides of the bell, but no sound is heard. A bell suspended by a metal rod and rung would be nudlble. tho sound waves being cnrrled to tho outside of tho bottlo by the inetul rod. An ex periment of this kind, using an Iron vessel as a substitute for the glass bot tle, would bo found not nearly so sat isfactory, plough tho bell bo suspend ed from silk as in tho former Instance, owing almost entirely to the fact that Iron Is more porous than glass, conse quently containing some air, which would convey an almost Imperceptible Sound to the outside. There Is suld to exist In Scotland a stone so opaque as to render Inaudible even tho firing of a cannon. If one crouches on the opposite side. All liquids nnd gases are excellent sound conductors; especially Is water on the surface, and certain kinds of wood. If it was KHSlble for two men to live a sulllclent length of time In a glass box hermetically scaled and con taining no air they would be unnbl to converse, though using tho great est powers nt their command.

In tho hnrnaelo wu have a unlnue and wonderful caso of a creature that can afford as age comes on to dispense with the eyesight thut was so useful m youth. For the young und old hnnmcle are ns dld'crent one from the other ns fishes from seaweed. In the heyday of life the barnacle swims about tho sea, seeking Its food with the aid of Its eyes and generally leading a roaming existence. Later In .life, how ever, It grows tired of this aimless u'nnrterlnt? and settles down to worry ships' captains by attaching Itself to tho keels of their crart and iieiyiug too much advertised powers of various pro ventlve paints. Once, then, the barna do has become a fixture, whether on ships or sharks. Its eyesight Is of no mo ro use. it cannot sceu Its rood, ana It cannot shun Its foes, for It never more will move. Therefore Its eye luwviiiift Himprilnmm and. according to nature's Invarlablp rule In such cast, disappear.
