OATARRH-
NJ. c., p 5. O.,

Catarrh is often regarded by the patient as
cold in the head, and he often expresses his
astonishment at his remarkable tendency, to
contract fresh cold. Indeed he declares that
he is scarcely free from one cold before he
takes another, and he is always exceedingly
careful; it is also a matter of surprise to him
that the cold always seems to settle IN the
head and throat.
At times many of the symptoms of catarrh
seem to abate, and the patient is led to hope
that the disease is about to wear off, but an
other class of symptoms soon appear and he
learns to his horror, that instead of recovery
from the disease, 1t is somewhat changed in its
character and has extended to the throat.
sense of WEAKNESS is sometimes felt in
reading, speaking or singing; hoarseness at
the throat, or 1T appears that some foreign
substance, as, for instance a hair, Obstructed
the throat there becomes. a sense of languor
and fatigue; the breath lessons on little
eXertion short, hacking cough, peculiar
sound in clearing the throat feeling as
though there was not room enough in the
chest to breathe; these and other symptoms
occur after the disease has made considerable
progress. Then it is a time when consumption
is is .,,o about to begin its dreadful work: work, up Up
have been slow and the patient may, in
expressing his confident hope that it will
''wear off" declare that he has had the catarrh
for years and has not seemed to become much
worse, and trusts that he will 'by and by
recover. But this delusion is the grand error
which has peopled our cemeteries with con-
suhptive FORMS as all forms of catarrh end
finally in consumption.

CONCERNING THE OCEAN.
Many Curious and Interesting Facts
That Are Not Commonly Known.

Many Curious and Interesting Facts
That Are Not Commonly Known.
The sea occupies three-fourths of the
surface of the earth. AT the depth of
about 8, 800 feet waves are not felt. The
temperature is the same, varying only a
tritie from the ice of the pole TO the
burning sun of the equator A mile
down the water has q pressure OF over u
on to the square inch. Ifa box six feet
deep were filled with sea water and
allowed to evaporatc under the sun
there would be two inches of salt left
on the bottom, says the Ocean. TAX
ing the average depth Of the ocean
to be three miles, there would be a
layer o, pure salt 230 feet thick on
the bed of the Atlantic. The water is
colder at the bottom than at the surface.
In tho many bays ON the coast OF Nor
way the water often freezes at the bot
tom before 1t does above. Waves are
very deceptive. To look at them in a
storm one would think the water trav-
eled. The water stays in the same
place, but the motion goes on. Some
times these waves are forty feet high
and travel fifty miles an hour--more
than twice as fast as the swiftest steam
ship. The distance from valley to val
ley is generally fifteen times the
height; hence wave five feet
high will extend over seyenty-hvc
feet of water. The force of the sea
dashng on Bell rock Is said 10 be seven
teen tons per square yard. Evaporation
is a wonderful power in drawing water
from the sea. Every year layer ot the
entire sea fourteen feet thick is taken up
into the clouds. The winds bear their
burden into the land and the water
comes down in rain upon the helds, to
flow back at last through rivers.
The depth of the sea presents an In.
teresting problem. II the Atlantic were
lowered 1854 feet the distance from
shore to shore would be half as great, or
1900 miles II lowered n little moro

would leave three different seas, and AT
rica would be joined with Italy. The
British channel is more like u pond,
which accounts for its choppy waves 1t
had been found difficult to get the
correct soundings OF the At
lantic. A midshipman of the
navy overcame the difficulty,
and shot weighing thirty younds carries
down the line. A hole is bored through
the snker, through which rod of iron
is passed, moving easy back and forth.
In the end of the bar cup Is dug out,
and the inside coated with lard. The
bar Is made fast to the line, and sling
holds the shot OIL. When the bar. which
extends below the ball, touches the
earth, the sling unkooks and the shot
slides Oft. The lard in the end OF the
bar holds some sand or whatever may
be on the bottom, and q drop shuts over
the cup to keep the water from washing
the sand out. When the ground is
reached IA shock is felt, as IL an electric
current had passed through the line.

NOBLE WOMAN DEAD
Mrs. Sue Clagett Pettengill Passes
Away at Her Brothers Home
in Osburn.
She Will Be Laid to Rest by Her
Mothers Side in Portland,
Oregon.

Friday morning, at 5 o'clock,
Mrs. Sue Clagett Pettengill died ut
the residence of her brother, w. III.
Clagett, In Osburn, Idaho, of pa
ralysis of the heart. She had been
in failing health for two years, and
since going to Osburn, last May,
has declined rapidly. Herhusband,
$. B. Pettengill, the managing edi-
tor of the Tacoma Ledger, went up
to SEQ her three weeks ago and was
with her till the end, She will be
buried in River View cemetery,
Portland, beside her mother, who
died three years ago, while the FAM
lily were living in that city.
Mrs. Pettengill was born In Prince
George county, Maryland, but spent
most of her life until her marriage In
Keokuk, Iowa. Though often and
for long periods sufferer from i'll
health she obtained rare intellec-
tual development and accomplished
consid dcrable literary work, most of
which, however, was of n desultory
character. She was at one time
book reviewer aud editorial contribu-
tor to the New York Nation, and
once received letter from
T.. l.. Godkin, in which he
suid that he knew but two
female writers in America who
surpassed her In force OF style and
depth of understanding. She was n
favorite writer for her fathers paper,
the Keokuk Daily Constitution, and
after his death successfully con-
Quoted 1t alone, thus being one of
the first female editors of II daily
paper in the United States. She
has been an editorial contributor
and special writer for the papers
with which her husband has been
connected since their marriage. She
wrote novel of much merit, en-
titled "Her Lovers" and has writ
ten other short tales for the Youths
Companion and other periodicals.
Since she came to the Pacific coast
she has suffered much from i'll
health, and for two years has been
an invalid. She leaves two little
boys, too young to know what they
have lost. Her death will prove n
great afiliction to her brother, Judge
Clagett, who has been always de-
votedly attached to her and justly
proud of her. All who had the good
fortune to be acquainted with this
lovely and accomplished lady will
feel sad to hear of her death.
