The Ventura (Cal) Free Press of October
q says: On Monday evening last Charles
Bartlett and Walter Perkins took walk
down the wharf to look at the breakers-and
saw them. Finally Mr.. Bartlett observed
three tremendous rollers, larger than any yet
seen, approaching, and fearful of conse-
quences, the two took to their heels. When
two thirds up the wharf, the first roller struck
l 200 feet behind them, making breach, and
as it advanced shoreward the piles went down
before it like grain before reaper. Fear
added wings to the fleeing ones, and they
beat the waves but very short distance, the
wharf falling about as fast as they passed over
it. 1t was close shave, for in the rough
water and broken timbers the best swimmer
would not have lived minute.
A correspondent writes from Japan: Bear
in mind, Asiatics live as no other races can,
and upon food that would not sustain a Eu-
ropean house dog Frugal as badgers, indus
trious as bees, they undersell every labor
market which they enter, and Guido every
civilized artizan at his own trade. Any one
who sees Japanese carpenter at work, with
his toes for wise, and his thighs and stomach
for bench, has seen tools well used, and
goods equal to European turned out. They
will, in fact, become formidable rivals of all
kinds of Western manufactures. The Japanese
are always ready to learn, and to outvie every
thing the west does, and this they do with less
food, less air, less clothing, and less comfort
than any civilized workman.
