beautiful Thy work !"
We W re awakened from our musing
by the exclamation, "Jcrusalcm, isn't
that nice I" We were willing 10
acknowledge that we rather thought it
was. We went above the Falls, wadcd
! down through the swift water and stood
on the very brink Of the preciplce. We
could look over into the seething, toany
mist below, 2S1 icet. The spray wet us
through. Some Of the boys even went
80 far ms to cling to the rocks and let
their feet hand in the water after it had
started on its final leap. We carved the
name of Olive Leaf Lodge, rs best we
could, on the extreme brink Ot the preCi
pice, within a foot Of the water. We
stald an hour or more above, and then
went below the Falls. Pulling of our
boots, we waded as far as possible, try
ing to get behind the sheet of water
Tue rocks were very slippery and we had
all we could do to cling to them, and
finally had to return, not being able to
60 back of the cataract. We had a good
view of the rainbows, which are Of the
most brilliant Colors and rest like u
crown Of jewels on Snoqualmie's brow
Tired Eout, we returned to Mr.. r.
Stearns' and had dinner, after which we
came back to Mr.. Taylor's. We visited
the school next day-perhaps, Mr.. Ed
itor. l am partial to schools, bur as fine
school as this think merits a word of
praise. Miss NJ. G. Scott, of Oak Har-
bor, Wildly Island, is teacher, and the
school directors of the district have
done wisely by choosing her as compe.
tent person to have charge of their
school, for her well regulated and order
ly school, full demonstrates that she is II
lady OF experience, intellect and culture.
The school room is little heaven OF
neatness, and teacher and pupils seem
determined to make their term of
school both pleasant and useful, as Miss
Scott, in her kind and affiable way is as
sisting her pupils to climb the steep,
craggv, and to some almost impossible
hill of science, while they, in return,
show her that respect which is sure
sign of the success of school. There
were about twenty scholars present the
day we visited them, and our visit will
long he remembered by us with the
kindest feelings, as one of the brightest
days Of life.
Friday MOI ming we bade adieu to all
onr kind friends at Fall City, and after
many wish Of II safe journey to us from
them we started.for Snohomish in canoe.
Calling in at MIR. Jennicks, who insisted
upon our staying to dinner; we were
again greeted with that warm neighbor-
ly feeling which is characteristic OF the
whole souled, good hearted settlers OF
Puget Sound. After dinner we slowly
drifted down the crooked stream, taking
pleasure in tho many fine scenes around
US, and were near Ford and Giffords
camp when the horn blew for supper.
THAT'S too good chance to be lost"
says one, SO ashore We went and were
thoroughly interviewed" by the mem.
bcrs OF the camp, had supper and were
off again and went as far us Clark and
Wilburs Tor the night. Here we found
another fun loving crew of men, headed
by Clark and Wilbur, either of whom
Can post the boys" should their stock
of " diVitry" run out. After breakfast
we again started in our canoes and
turned around the bends of the Snoqual.
ME, SO after that we were nearly dizzy,
until we finally reached the broader
noble majestic Snohomish. We stopped
at Doty and Austin's camp for dinner.
If any one who is troubled with the
blues" will visit this camp, will guar
rantee that after Doty and the rest OF
these mitchell loving "cusseS," get
through with them, they will be troubled
/ with their blues no more. After dinner
we were off again, and reached town at
two o'clock that p. NJ. Ihave never
seen crops OF all kinds look as finely, as
they do this year, the whole length ol
the river Everything is houishing
