Some Claims.

A Citizen Who Thinks Pedestrians Have
Some Claims.
EDS. RECORD UNION: Now that the city
is engaged in improving the streets in the
way of grading and graveling the same
aud putting down crossings, want to make
a suggestion to those whose business it is
to look after the matter. In common with
my pedestrians, / hope that more
attention will be paid to the crossings than
has been done on former occasions.
Numerous stone crossings now put down
on improved streets are entirely too low to
be of any service whatever when the
streets are muddy.
For instance, the crossing on L street, at
Fourteenth, is entirely worthless in winter
time, while the crossing on Fourteenth at
L is high and free from mud. A new
crossing has just been put down on n
street, west side of Sixteenth street. l
presume 1t is with the grade" as I have
been told, but will guarantee that in a
muddy spell it will be impossible. Especi-
ally the north side of this crossing is very
low.
In speaking with a gentleman who
seemed to be bossing this N-street improve
ment, he informed me that the crossing
had to be put down with the grade
Now. it seems to me that these street i'm
provsments ought to be made as well for
the comfort and convenience of pedestri-
ans as for those who travel in vehicles, and
that the only wsy we can have good, pass
able crossings is to put them slightly above
the grade.
This would inconvenience no one, and
greatly aid III keeping the horrid mud off

What the State Fish Commissioners Have

Been Doing.
The State Fish Commission has done a
vast amount of good this season in plant.
ing trout of different varieties in streams
throughout the State, remarks the Mount
Shasta Herald. From the hatchery located
here there has been fully ], $50 600 young
trout sent out to stock many different
streams, principally north of San francisco.
The greater number Of those sent to a dis
lance have been transported under the
eyer-watchful eye of engineer Ed Stewart
who reports having the finest success in
landing them at their destinations.
Mr.. Richardson, another expert in the
handling and caring for young fish, passed
q portion of his time at the Shovel Creek

we believe, in charge. Mr. Hunt was sent

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Metropolitan Theater was filled to
its utmost capacity last night by thor
oughly well pleased audience. The Han
lon- Volter- Martinetti troupe gave chaste
and thoroughly good performance. All
that the management promised was per-
formed to the letter. There was not in the
entire entertainment single break or the
slightest depal ture from perfect discipline.
The Martinettis, Alfred, Josephine, Clara
and Paul, supported by four assistants
gave one Of the most laughable of rough
and-tumble pantomimes. tits not so charged
with mechanical tricks as some of their
earlier work, but there is great deal more
of the acrobatic in it than anything they
have done. OF course it is extravagant and
absurd, but that is Intentional. 1t meets
the desire of the audience and was greeted
with Unreasonable laughter. A group of
eight acrobats, halt of them women, give in
Chinese costume notably fine perform
ance-one, indeed, that is seldom eaualed
for grace. ease and skill. Walter Emerson
plays cornet solo with high degree of
skill, and Dora Emerson sings in an eff
fective manner. In the upper and middle
registers she is at her best. Both were
warmly applauded and recalled. Stebb
and Trepp present grotesque act, wholly
novel and provocative of great mirth. The
Hulines, musical clowns, are of the best of
their order. They are new in their acts, crisp
and merry, and excellent instrumentalists.
The Watenburg family, four sisters and
their three brothers, are acrobats of very
superior order. Their work is clean cut,
rapid, very graceful, and of the most diff
cult character One of the young women
is an excellent contortionist. The Han
Ions. Robert, William and James, close
the entertainment with splendid trapeze
performance from the flies over the center
of the stage to the run of the gallery
Their aerial flights are thrilling and
daring, but are done with such
ease and grace that they do not
appear to involve, as they really do, many
elements of danger. Indeed. as gymnasts,
the Hanlons are to be placed in the front
rank of their order. As whole, it was an
admirable variety entertainment, and re-
allied the highest expectations entertained
concerning it. 1t will be repeated tonight.

A Square Foot, and Foot Square

A Square Foot, and Foot Square
A correspondent addresses the following
to the RECORD UNION:
will you please inform me if there is
any difference between one square foot and
one foot square? If so. explain the differ
ence"
There is no difference, for a square foot
must necessarily be foot square-in other
words, foot in length and a foot in
breadth. There would be difference, how
ever, between two feet square and two
square feet. A surface two feet square
would contain four square feet. and not
two square feet.
To determine the number of square feet
in any square surface you multiply the
length by the breadth.
