longing to deceased.

Brush Fires

About noon yesterday a wind
arose and famed the smoldering hill
fires TO fame. The fire burned all
the afternoon and by FIVE o'clock had
spread over considerable surface. The
alarm was sounded, and the entire de-
partment turned ont. Hose was
spliced and No. Ones engine stationed
at the foot of Cass street up which
hose was laid. The wind drove the
flames up the crest of the hill, and the
houses on the other side being en-
dangered all the spare hose procurable
was put in service and line stretched
from Cushing street mp West-9th.
The wind fortunately changed about
FIVE o'clock and finally died down
toward sunset. The roofs of Mrs.
Davis house, and other houses close
by were kept wet, and brands which
CHANGED to lodge were put out.
The unusually dry season has occa-
stoned considerable danger from these
brush Gres; two houses were totally
destroyed a short time ago, and had
the wind continued in such force and
direction as it was blowing at three
O'Clock, great danger might have re-
suited yesterday afternoon. 1t would
seem necessary that four or five cis-
terms be built at various points along
the hill side. One at the corner of
West aud Wall streets yester-
day afternoon, would have been of
avail, and should fire break out in
that vicinity at night it might be the
means of saving thousands Of dollars
worth of property.

river salmon may be observed by any
one who walks along the south side of
Jefferson street at low tide, more
especially that portion of it between
Cass and Olney streets. Millions of
little salmon, an inch in length are
flashing in the sun, disporting them
selves in two or three inches of water
that ripples over the mud, and as the
tide goes out they go with it. Along
the beach at upper Astoria the same
sight may be seen. The salmon have
evidently Matched from spawn thrown
in the water 1T the various canneries.
A little later they will be found great
