investigation.
Last evening the revenue cutter

abreast of the end of the long dock
Captain Glover, the officer in COM

pose of attending to some slight re.
pairs. To-day she will be beached and
her hull thoroughly scraped and
cleaned.
Lightning struck q tree on the Big
Glow hill, Eastside, last evening, and
shattered it from top to bottom. Judge
Isham, who happened to be standing
in his door at the time, says the spec
tacle, though lasting but an instant
was inexpressibly grand and awe
inspiring. The fluid on entering the
ground threw up what was apparently
. volume OF flame fully eighty feet in
height. It is very seldom that light
Mug plays such pranks in this coun-
try.
Yesterday morning during a dense
foo the ateamer North Pacific went
ashore on Pully's point, or what is
commonly known as Three-Tree point,
midway between Tacoma and Seattle.
A short while after, the T. ]. Potter
passed along, and, in attempting to
haul the Pacific off, snapped several
new lines as easily as a person would
break thread. Finding it impossible
to haul the Pacific off, her passengers
were transferred to the Potter and
landed at Seattle. The Pacific, it was
expected, would float again about 5 P.
N. last evening.
A regular old-fashioned, orthodox,
thunder-and- birthstone thunder storm
passed over Olympia last evening, fol-
lowed by deluge of rain which lasted
fully two hours. During this time, in
terest in the performance at the circus
tent was varied by the little rivulets
that flowed along the canvas and
formed cascades among the audience.
The umbrellas raised to keep off the
falling spray gave the rising seats
around the circle the appearance Of a
bank thickly covered with toad-stools,
and indicated that the average Olym-
plan would adopt almost any device to
witness in its entirety circus perform.
