able that the dangers of tho bath should be more
generally understood than they would seem to be,
and that the proprietOrs OF these establishments
should be required TO instruct their managers and
attendants to send at once for medical assistance
whenever visitor becomes faint or even momen-
tarily unconscious Such occurrences must needs
pOrtend peril of death: and however large may be
the proportion OF instances in which the slight
faint feeling" seepncss" passes away, u IS
and responsible medical man should be instantly
summoned to aid the recovery. There ought to be
nothing iett to the discretion OF the manager or
attendant in such "a case. Again. although II Is easy
to see that prOprietors would prefer to avoid deaths
on their premises. person who has been III or
even slightly nnwell in the bath should be allowed
to leave the establishment without being seen by
doctor. Further, think the practice of sleeping
IN the hot rooms ought to be interdcted. There
Is always danger at the moment OF awakening.

HARBoR IMPROVEMENTS There is a
prevalent opinion that Port Orford is
left out of the river and harbor bill ap-
preparation, but this is an error. The
bill provides for the expenditure of
$4,000 toward the construction of
she harbor of refuge, at the discretion
of the Secretary Of War The Senate
struck the section out, but the House
put it back again and so the bill passed
and is now the law. Coos Bay OBJ
tains $4,000, and the Coquille river
$4,000, Of which $4,000 is for eontin-
uation Of work at the jctty, and $4,000
for remoyal'of 'snags on tie upper riv-
er. The latter work is at the discre-
tion of the Secretary Of War, and it is
reported he has deemed Unnecessary to
sxpend the whole $4,000 on the jetty
work, but under what authority he ex-
ercises this discretion, we are not
aware With these works in full
