Our life. our life is like narrow raft
Afioat upon the hungry sea;
Hereon Is but little space,
And all men, eager for place,
DO thrust each other In the sea;
And each man. eager for place,
Does thrust his brother i'm the sea.
And so our life is wan with fears,
And 80 the sea Is salt with tears.

cANvAs-BAc DUCKS.
They Can Fly Two Miles Minute and Can
Keepit Up.


DR.. Charles Macrum. a wealthy re.
tired physician OF Portland Ore, for
the last three years has devoted his
time To hunting and fishing and writing
stories for sporting papers. The doe
tor has made study OF the speed OF
the duck and says the canvas-bacl1 can
fly faster than any other member OF the
duck family.
The canvas-back can distance any
other duck. said the doctor 1T can
fly two miles "A minute and keep IL up
for hours. The mallard Is the slowest.
but with an effort can go n mile IA
minute The gadwade duck Is not
found in the East often. but is numer-
Gus in Oregan. The members OF this
family can travel eighty miles an hour.
The broad-bill duck Is almost as swift
as the canvas-back, but cannot keep
the race as long as the other.
You may think that geese fly slower
than mallard duck. This is not SO. With
the slow movement OF their big wings
they do not appear TO be flying rapidly.
but they travel from so 10 100 miles an
hour and keep Il up for a day.
The doctor tells some interesting
stories about his hunting experiences.
When hunting near Madison, Wis.
last fall he had narrow escape from
being killed by the body Of a duck
which had fallen at his feet from the
air about 200 yards above him.
"A duck sometimes when wounded
will circle around in the air and try to
get as high up as possible, said the
visitor. II had wounded big mallard
and IL started 10 circle upward directly
over my head. | had "A charge OF buck
shot In the other barrel and before il
got out OF range | fired. One OF the
bullets must have struck a vital part,
for IL came down instantly. II was di-
rectly above me and had | not lodged
my head just in time its body would
have struck me square upon the head
IL whiz2ed past my ear with terrific
force and fell nt my side. There was
not bone in its body that was not
broken when attempted 10 pick IL up
| am certain the blow would have
crushed my skull had the body struck
me on the top OF the head
"A friend OF mine named Bancroft,
when duck hunting in Florida, also
had close call 10 was just getting
dark. and we were waiting in our boats
behind pile Of weeds. for the ducks
10 appear We heard something come
buzzing over the lake and my friend
suddenly raised himself in his boat 20
see what Il was. II was a teal duck.
The bird must have been going at the
rate Of $50 miles an hour. just as
Bancroft looked mp the duck struck
him in the forehead and knocked him
over into the water. The blow was SO
hard IL stunned him and had not
been there 10 pull him ont he certainly
would have drowned. The blow killed
the duck. When | hshcd IL ont OF the
water ! found that the birds breast
bone was broken.
Mrs. Macrum is with her husband.
She always travels with him ON his
hunting excursions. She Il also AN
expert shot. One day in the lakes
near Madison she killed forty-eight
ducks.

THE U. S. S. MARION.

The U. s. S. Marion, J. r. Bartlett,
commander, arrived at this port on Sat-
urday, September Goth, 49, days from
Behring Sea, and dropped her anchors
in the naval row on the Eva side of Il g
U. S. S. Pensacola. On the 9TH OF Sep
TENDER the Marion left 0nalaska, Il coal
ing station of the United States Govern
ment, and also the best and most i'm
portant harbor in Alaska on the Behring
Sea. The vessels remaining in the har-
Dor after the Marion's departure were
the United States vessels Mohican,
Thetis, Alert. revenue cutters Rush and
Corwin, and the United States collier
Al XII. The last named steamer had
forty marines on board, whose services
are required for guarding prisoners cap
tured from sealing vessels found within
forbidden grounds. The British fleet
consisted of the Nymphe, Pheasant and
the coal ship Costa RIGA. The Alert is
probably now on her way for China, and
may call at this port. During the time
the Marion was cruising in the Behring
Sea with the other ships OF Uncle Sam,
no less than six sealing schooncrs were
captured.
The British Commissioners to report
upon the Behring Sea question left On
alaska sometime in August for Petro-
paulovsky, a port in Siberia, and they
were to return to Onalaska about the
middle OF this month.
The Marion will remain here till next
Thursday or Friday, when she will pro-
coed for Yokohama to report to Rear
Admiral Belknap, commanding the
Asiatic Squadron. She came here for
provisions and to take in about one hun
dred and twenty-five tons of coal. The
Marion carries six 9-inch smooth bore
guns, one 60-pounder rifle and one s.
inch rife pivot gun, besides several
minor machine guns. The number Of
men, exclusive OF officers, are 1873. The
