San Juan Notes

Fine weather for canvassing.
Swarms of aspiring office-seekers
skipping around here now. Judge
Bowman is likely to remain auditor
for at least two years more, as he was
nominated on both tickets.
The tug Virginia broke her shaft
at Friday Harbor Saturday night. and
is waiting to be towed to Port Town
send for repairs.
MIR. Jas. McCurdy has leased his
lime kiln to San Francisco firm for
three years, and on Sunday he took
his departure for Victoria, where he
will engage in the feed business.
Mr.. William Holt has rented Mr..
Nichols hotel at Friday Harbor.
He is young man and rumor saith
that he will take unto himself part
ner before long Therefore business
must be improving, anG he Is deserv-
ing of it all, for he has everything in
apple pie order.
Threshing is over and the crop did
not pan out as well as expected
From one-half to three quarters of a
ton to the acre was about the aver
age. The fall wheat yielded best and
will be largely sown this fall MIR.
Beagan had 46 bushels of wheat to
the acre, and will stake all his chips
on fall wheat this year.
A soiree will be held in the hall
at Argyle City tomorrow evening for
the purpose of collecting funds to
erect an Episcopal church at that
place. 1t promises to be a very
grand affair, indeed, and number of
up Sound folks are expected. 1t will
be well attended, as the people here
of every denomination are quite lib
eral in regard to church matters.
Next to politics the discovery of a

An Odd Way Of Treating.

Cincinnati Enquirer: 1t is a little
strange that we have no other amuse'
ment for our friends but to ask them
to take a drink. Several years ago
carried a box of seidlitz powders, and
it was my habit at a summer hotel to
wake up some man on the floor and
compel him, in a friendly way, to have
a seidlitz powder with me. Nobody
was allowed to refuse, and the only
way he could be permitted to go to
sleep again was to take a seidlitz pow
der. In a little while all the men in
the house became good looking; COM
plexions improved; but at last l ran
out of seidlitz powders. From that
time onward cocktails before break
fast, whisky and beer late at night,
and the usual folly resumed sway.

The most characteristic fishes of the
Lake of Galilee belong to the family Of
Chronicle, three species OF which are
figured in DE-. Tristram's work. Chro-
mis- Tiberiadis is peculiar to the Jor-
dan and its ~afiuents alone. To is found
in the most amazing numbers from the
Lake Huleh to the head of the Dead
sea. 1T is by far the most abundant

tram, ''in shoals Of over an acre in ex-
tent, so closely packed that it seemed
impossible for them to move, and with
their dorsal fins above the water, CIV
ing at a distance the appearance of a
tremendous shower p~nttering on one
spot of the surface OF the CLASSY lake.
They are taken both in boats and from
the shore by nets run deity round and
inclosing what n may call a solid
mass at n swoop, and very often the
net breaks. They arc also taken in
large quantities by poisoned crumbs
thrown from the shore OF to the sur
face Of the water. BY casting nets
hundreds are often taken at once"
When they reach the Dead sea, which
they do in thousands. they do not get
further than a few yards when they

their backs, "while cormorants and
kingtishers perched on the snags
of floating logs gorge themselves
without effort, and often heaps Of
putrefying washed on the
shore poison the atmosphere and af-
ford a plenteous feast to the ravens
and vultures." The propagation of
Chromis Simonis, also peculiar to the
jordan system, and restricted TO the
lakes of Galilee and Huleh, is remark
able, but not unique, as some South
American species also exhibit the same
phenomenon-e. g., some OF the genus
Arius. The male takes the ova Of the
female into his pharynx, and there
matches them. Speaking of the Chro-
mis- Simonis, Trist-am quotes some Of
DR.. Lortet's observations: 1.-THE lit
tie ones rapidly increase in size,
and appear to be much incom-
NODDED in their narrow prison. They
remain in great, numbers pressed
one against another like the grains of
a ripe pomegranate. The mouth of
the father nurse now becomes SO dis
tended by his progeny that his jaws
car not meet. The cheeks are swollen,
and the animal presents the strangest
appearance. Some of the young, ar
rived at this perfect state, continue to
live and develop among the folds Of
the bronchia. Others have their
heads turned toward the mouth of the
parent; and do not quit the sh~eltering
cavity till they are about four inches
long and sufficiently active and nimble
to escape their micro enemies.
1t is difficult to-: understand how the
male, who thus carries more than two
hundred young for several weeks, can
feed without swallowing along with
his prey a great number of his fry. 1t
is in the springs close to the lake that
these fish spawn The Edinburgh
RaviaW.

The Eight Weddings Of the White
HOua0.


Cleveland Leader: IfGrover Cleve-
land should be married in the white
house his wedding will be the ninth
which has taken place there, and he
will be the first president married in
the white house. John Tyler had the
wedding reception of his second mar
riage in the white house, and President
Hayes and his wife celebrated their
silver wedding there. The first mar.
riage in the white house tsok place in
1911, when q Miss Todd, a relative of
President Madison's wife married John
j. Jackson, q Virginia congressman.
The next was that of Monroe's daugh-
ter, Martha, to Mr.. Gouverneur, Of New
York, about nine years later, and in
1926 the son of President Adams mar
ried his cousin Miss Johnson. there.
During the administration of jackson
one of the Diplomats, a man named
Paqueot, who afterwards represented
the French governments in this country,
was married in the white house to the
daughter of Andrew J%ackson's close
friend, Major Eewis, of Nashville. and
Jackson neice was married during
this administration to a Mr.. Polk of
Tennessee. During Tylers admins
tration his daughter was married to a
Virginian named Waller, and during
Grants term his daughter Nellie was
united with Sartoris, an English gentle
man. Another marriage during the
days Of Grants presidency was that OF
General Russell Hastings and Miss
Emily Plat. The marriage of Nellie
Grant was a very grand affair. Ittook
place in the east room, and was talked
Of for a time all over the world. The
groom, Algernon Sartoris, was a
nephew of Fanny Kemble, and was
highly educated. Nnllie Grant was
nineteen years old while he was twenty
three. They met on a steamboat, and
we're married eighteen months after
this meeting. Immediately after the
marriage the young couple sailed for
England, where they have spent most
of the time since then, and where Mrs
SartOris IS now.

A few days ago the president direct

book of the clippings accumulated
from the press on the subject OF the
marriage, saying it will be an enter
tanning volume in future years. The
secretary was astonished to be handed
at the same lime almost a peck U
clippings tho president had selected
himself. Already ar immense scrap
book has been made, and hundreds OF
papers containing marked articles
about the marriage reach the white
house. Publishers who want their
papers represented in the scrap book
should send marKed COPIES.
