The unthinking are prone to make.
game of nervousness. Yet this is very
real and serious afflictiOn, the harassing
symptoms of which are rendered all the,
more poignant by ridicuIe. The stom-
qch is usually responsible for these
symptoms its weakness and disorder
fiud a reflex in the brain, which is the
Headquarters of the nervous system. As
a nerve tonic and tranquiilizer, we be-
Iieve that not one can be pointed out SO
effective as Hostetter's Stomach BItters.
In renewing vigorous digestion, it tstrikes
the key note OF recovery of strength and
auietude by the nerves. Headaches,
tremors in quiet sleep, abnormal sensi-

tism, constipation and kidney complaints
are subdued by the Bitters.

PUGET SOUND CLIMATE.
Port ToRnsehas Advantages.

Eldridge Morse writes a long and
interesting article for the Sneho-
mish Eye, from which we make the
following extracts:
That the summers are much cool
er here than in the eastern states,
and that the winters are less severe;
that a great deal of rain falls all over
the Puget 3 Sound region are things
generally admitted by nearly all who
live On Puget Sound. It is also gen
orally understood that the mildness
of the winters is caused by the great
ocean current coming across the Pa
cific from the Indian ocean and jap
an; but many other things connected
with the climate of this region are
not considered by residents of this
region. Thus, most Puget Sound
people would be greatly surprised il
they Tere told that a large portion
of the Puget Sound basin was
classed among the arid or ''semi
arid" regions of the United States;
yet such is the case.
In describing the soil, climate and
productions of Puget Sound most
persons write as if there were no 10.
cal differences, as if o true descrip-
ton of one portion would truly des-
cribe every part of this country. In
fact few regions have greater local
differences which need to be noted.
And in no respect are the variations
greater than In the amount of rain
fall of one portion of Puget Sound
as compared with another.
Something like fifteen years ago
Mr.. Z. NJ Hoskinson began making
observations on the temperature, an
nual rain fall, etc, near Port Blake
ly on Bainbridge island, some nine
miles from Seattle.
Mr.. HosKINsoN's OBSERVATIONS.
Most of these figures present a
close average of his observations for
the past ten years az taken from pub.
lished reports of the same.

a NATURAL CENTER.

Port Townsend is a natural center
of trade and travel. 1t is headquar-
teIs on Puget Sound for all the San
Francisco vessels, steam and sail,
connecting with this part of the
world. The Alaska steamers make
Port Townsend the southern termin-
US of their routes. We have tri-
weekly connection by steamer direct
with the terminus Of the Canadian

Recently, in the course of applIca-
tions for timbcr land at the Seattle
land Office, it was found that proofs
could not be made until next Decem-
Der, owing to the crowded condition
of routine work in the land Office.
Such condition shows that division
of the district is imperatively neces-
sary. The district is by far too large
to begin with, a fact that has been
recognized for years. The legisla.,
lures Of the Territory have been pc
titioning Congress to divide the diss
trict and locate a new land Office at
Port Townsend. When the Vancou-
yer district was enlarged, and the of.
flee OF this district WAS removed from
Olympia to Seattle, it was hoped that
relief, to some extent, would ceme
But it is now found that the pres
sure is greater than ever before, and
it will certainly be increased still fur
ther if surveying of public lands
west of Puget Sound is done, accord
ing to public necessities Most of
those taking timber claims at this
time desire to use the timber this
year. To oblige them to wait until
December next before they can pay
for the land and get title, is to perpe-
trate an injustice upon them. Their
witnesses may be gone out of the
country before that time, and no end
of Inconvenience occur. Persons liv>
ing in remote portions of the district
are put to great expense and delays
in having to travel SO far with their
witnesses to do land business. Doz-
ems of potent reasons could be urged
in favor of a readjustment, and 10.

Average annual rainfall As inches
- fall of snow....2 20
The rainfall from year to year
varies greatly, therefore it makes a
great difference what years are chos-
en- on which an average is based.
Thus in 1879 the total rainfall was
nearly IS inches; in 1883, 1884, 1886
and 1888 it was only about 81 inches.
The snow fall varies still more from
year to year. In 1885 it was only
two inches. In 1879 and 1883 it was
only about five inches; while in 1880
there fell about 60 inches, the heavi-
est snow fall ever known on Puget
Sound.
Perhaps a fair average for, say, q
term of twenty years for Mr.. Hosk-
insCn's station would be an average
of so inches annually of snow and
rain together; the snow being calcu-
lated and measured on the basis of
the number of inches of rain the
snow would make if melted. Many
people have taken this as average
for all the Sound country, while
probably 40 inches would be nearer
an average for the whole; four-ffths
falling in six winter months and one
fifth during the rest of the year.
Thus the annual average rainfall at
Astoria, Oregon, for % years was rs
inches; at Neah Bay, the entrance of
the Straits of Fuca, over 112 inches
fell in one year, and the average is
about 80 inches. West of the Coast
range of mountains in Washington
tertiary the rainfall varies from 70
to 80 inches annually.
RAINFALL OF THE SOUND.
On the straits and around the
Sound the rain fall is about as fol-
lows:

The Democratic majority of the
lower House of Congress has at last
done something on the question of
admitting the Territories to state
hood that IS significant of the posi-
ton of the Democratic party on this
question It has passed the Springer
Omnibus bill-a measure SO thor>
oughly one-sided and unjust that
republicans cannot consistently agree
to 1t. DemC Gratis know this, and are
simply pretending TO be in favor of
admitting the Territories while mere-
ly practising dilatory action. The
vote On the Springer bill in the House
was strictly on party lines, every Re
publican voting against it. Con
gresham GrosvenOr, Of Ohio, ftly
characterized the measure in his
speech before the House. He said:
He thought the title should read,
TO try to convince the people OF
Dakota that the Democratic party is
willing that Dakota should come in
10 the Union, but in fact to keep that
territory, and all others that have a
Republican majority, out of the
Union for an indefinite period of
time" DurinS the last session of
congress the gentleman from Illinois
and those who had acted With him
had refused to consider the bill for
the admission of Dakota, but they
had heard voice. II had been the
voice of magnificent popular up
rising of the Northwest. 1t had said
in thunder tones that the Democrat
10 party was not fit to rule the coun-
try. Ths people of the Northwest
had called for bread and the Demo-
cratic caucas had given chem a stone.
There was nothing now in the bill
but delay Its purpose was delay
and to defraud the people out of
their rights.
