How the Sailor Whistles for
the Wind During a Calm.

San Francisco Alta.
There is nothing so tedious, so az
gravatlng to the sailor as dead calm.
Drift, drift, DRIFT. day after day, the
great burning sun overhead reflected
on the waters until the eye becomes
wearied with the eternal brightness.
The sailors 60 about their work list
lessly. Not so the officer OF the deck.
He does not heed the heat nor the
stream of perspiration pouring down
his face. He PAGES the poop with a
quiet, nervous tread, whistling for q
wind. Yes, he is scanning the horizon
north, south, east and west, ana with
his whole soul whistles Tor wind.
This is an old, old belief OF the sail
or. This superstition at least cannot
be traced to the Precipitation of the
gods. 1t probably had its origin in
the impatience of the mariner who,
while his vessel lay becalmed, remem-
bered with regret the hoarse moaning
anu shrieking and whist!ing of the
wind and involuntarily tried to imi-
tate it. And this supposition is
strengthened by the character of the
whistling. The sailor does not whistle
"Annie Laurie" or any other popular
song. 1t is series OF short ard long
sounds, now high, now low, like those
produced by wind blowing in its might
through the ropes and rigging.

queens speech opening the session was
read by royal commission. The friendly

to and the completion OF the Afghan
boundary demarcation and the conclusion
OF the Suez canal negotiations mentioned.
AS to Ireland the speech says: "The meas
ures which VOC passed last session for the
benefit OF Ireland have been carefully car
ried into effect during the period since
elapsed. The result of this legislation so
far as tested by this short experience is
satisfactory. Agrarian crime has dimin-
ished. and the power of coercive eonspira-
cies has sensibly abated. Measures tend

and to facilitate an increase in the number
OF proprietors OF the soil win be laid be-
