CONSUMPTION.

1t is said that $4,000 people die an.
nually in the United States alone from
this disease. In some sections of the
country one death in every three is
from Consumption THIS can be, and
should be avoided; our people are too
careless about an ordinary cough OF
cold, and other symptoms of throat
and lung affections that lead to this
disease. You should arrest it while
it is in the germ. Two or three doses
of Dr. Bosanko's Cough and Lung Syr-
up will relieve an ordinary cough or
cold. 1t does not dry up cough like
many preparations on the market and
leave the disease behind it. but acts
directly on the throat and bronchial
tubes, removing all the phlegm and
morbid matter that accumulates in
the throat and lungs. 1t allays all ir-
ritation, and renders the voice clear
and distinct. Sold by r. S. Freeman.

The Transit of Venus.

The transit yesterday was observed in Port
land by many amateur astronomers, stimulat-
ed into great activity by the remembrance that
transit of Venus cannot be witnessed again
for 121 years and six months. The twentieth
century cannot enjoy the sight. The morning
was cloudy, but from II o'clock to opera
glasses and spy glasses were in active use. The
planet was very distinctly seen, passing low
over the suns disk: round, we'll defined
black spot 1t was gigantic example of the
celebrated problem of the hunter and the
squirrel going round the tree. The squirrel
was in this case represented by Venus, who
was racing with the earth, to pass westward
round the sun; and, as Venus had the inside
track, she easily distanced us, although we
gave her pretty nearly an all day heat.
The stransits of Venus come alternately, a
pair in December, and pair in June. We had
one in December, 1874, and one yesterday.
The next pair will be June, 2004, and June,
2012. At the transits in the 18th and 18th
centuries great Importance attached to them
as the best means known of determining the
distances of the heavenly bodies. The proper
tions of those distances are known with ex-
IRENE accuracy, SO that if we could get one,
we could the whole. The passage of Venus
between us and the sun gave an opportunity
to measure her distance exactly, while nearest
to u.s. and thus to determine the distance of
the sun and the other planets But the inge-
nuity OF astronomers has now developed half a
dozen other ways of accomplishing the same
result, so that the transit of Venus no longer
possesses that unique value to the astronomer
which it did hundred years ago :
