Central Pacific Railroad.

Next Monday, Oct. l, has been set by
the Board of County Commissioners, sit
ting as a Board Of Equalization, to hear
the petition of the Central Pacific Railroad
for a reduction OF their assessment from
SIG. 900 per mile to 50. 900. This day was
fixed st the urgent solicitation of the
attorney OF the railroad. who said it would
be impossible for the representatives of
the road to be here before that time.
although they, the Board, wished it to be
set at an earlier date; yet, to accommodate
the road as far as 1t could be done, this
was allowed. Many Of our citizens will
most likely be in attendance, wishing to
hear what the attorney and representatives.
Of the road have to say in its behalf. and
the greater part Of the day will probably
be consumed in the hearing. Owing to
this fact, and in order to prevent q rush
and crowd OF business ON that day, the
Commissioner desire that all Of our citi.
Gems having claims or petitions to present
to the Board will do so to. day and to.
morrow. no they can be duly considered
aud passed upon On Saturday, and thus
have Monday for the hearing II so i'm
portant q petition a. that of the Central
Pacific, and one in which all our taxpayers
are so deeply interested.

smoke I'm the Air-The sym .Oblo4g
and Bl0Od.red.
The atmosphere in Eureka for the last
day or so has had q very unusual appear
ance. 1t seemed to be at first cloudy,
because the murkiness Of the air could not
be otherwise accounted for by reference to
the ordinary meteorological phenomena.
This was the result Of casual observation,
however, and closer observation proves
that it Is not clouds in the air, but some
thing that is either smoke or very much
like smoke. Various theories have been
advanced to explain the phenomenon.
which we find is nothing new, but one
which has been noticed and commented
upon as occurring in various parts Of the
earth, on Liant m sea, but without any
satisfactory explanation given. Some OF
our weather 'tsharps" say it is actual
smoke. blown down upon is from the
forests that are on fire in Oregon. The
trouble with this theory, supposing the
immediate conditions warranted it's credi-
bility. is that Oregon forest fires could o
be made to account for the singular phe-
nomenon in all parts of the world. and at
S - A ooCu lOEobto BIZ Ou NO. ar
before intimated, we give it up, but
we are grateful for the visitation neverthe-
less. 1t gives us cause for speculation, and
1t enabled Base Rangers to gaze upon an
other phenomenon hardly less remarkable,
yesterday afternoon. We refer to the ex-
~traOrdinary appearance of the sun from
during the half-hour before it disappeared
below the horizon. When its peculiarly
was first noticed it could not be observed
with comfort. as its glare still hurt the eye, +
but as 1t declined further towards the line
OF the mountain tops many persons
scrutinized the great luminary with an in. |
terest that we have never seen exhibited |
before. 1t was q strange, grand spectacle,
which will be long remembered. The sun
appeared blood-red, looking through the |
smokey atmosphere which protected the |
eye in gazing upon it, twice its usual size |
and like 8 crimson ball. A few minutes
before it disappeared from view it changed |
in outline. and from being round it
assumed, through the murky medium
through which it was observed, an oblong |
shape, contracting in vertical and expand. |
ing in horizontal diameter. A gentleman
who watched the sun from the time it pre-
septed its strange and a~we-inspiring
aspect until it sank out of sight says the |
phenomenon recalled to him the words of
C~oleridge in the Ancient Mariner"
.'A1l in q hot and copper sky
The bloody sun at noon straight above the
mast did lie,
No Bryce than the moon"
An apt description, except as to the time
OF the phenomenon and the size of the |
luminary.
Apropos of the above the Winnemucca
Silver State of yesterday says: The air is
filled with smoke, probably from some
forest fires in the Sierra Nevada. The |
smoke is dense enough to make the sun
appear like q great red ball in the heavens, |
from which no rays are emitted, and
which can be gazed at steadily without the
intervention OF smoked glass.

BObby's Blunder.

Bobby's father builds boats by the bay.
Bobby and his friends run and Jump and
skip on the wharf. They hang on the
ropes and swing from the booms of the
vessels. They jump into row-boats and
rock them till the water comes over the
sides. Then they shake themselves and
laugh and sit in the sun until their clothes
are dry. Bobby often tumbles into the
water, but he always comes up like a ball
He loves that bay, and says, "This kind
of water does not drown folks !" One
day new boat lay waiting for its mast.
The men in the boat-house heard noise
like that of great sea-bird Tapping its
wings on the deck. They ran out and
there lay little body, dressed in short
pants and red stockings, beating the deck
with his hands and feet. 1t was Bobby
all but his head And where was his
head ? Down in the dark hole of the
boat The bowls and sobs told that
Bobby's head was still on his neck
Bobby's father took small saw, and
sawed piece of plank out of the deck.
He had to saw very near the little white
neck, but he did not even scratch it. Then
he pulled Bobby up by his heels. The
little face was very red. He was nearly
dead. They gave him some water; and
when he was better, asked, " How did
you get your head down there 7" AS soon
as Bobby could get breath enough, he
said, ~ thought that mast-hole would
just fit my head and SO it did But my
ears and nose wouldn't let it came up
again when l wanted it to-" "What did
you think when your head was down
there ?" asked his father. Bobby caught
his breath again, and sobbed out, 81
thought if my head had to stay down
there, couldn't see the torch-lights to-
night !" A man said, "You'd better
keep away from the water" Then Bobby
sprang to his feet and cried, cit wasn't
the waters fault that l put my head into
the mast-hole." Every summer we expect
to hear that Bobby has been drowned.
But the first face we see, staring in at the
stage door, is always Bobby 's.-Our Little

The children did so, and, while the
feather at the bottom blew in, the one at
the top hoated out.
"But. father" said Maggie, "we did
sweep the dirt out at last Why was
that ?"
"Because you had let the room grow
cold while you were trying your expert
ments," said her father, sand as the
temperature became more like that out
side, the currents we're less strong. That
is the way your wind shifted"
Jack looked foolish.
"Science is fine thing, my son." con.
tinued his father, and great beauty and
interest, as we'll as Importance, attach to
its discoveries. But the life and soul OF
science lies in it's exactness and thorough
ness. A scientific experiment, to be worth
anything, must be thorough. You trie6
