He Never Called Again.

A stiff Englishman made a formal
call on an equally stiff English girl
down in Staten Island not long ago.
He called about 4 80 in the afternoon,
and sat in one OF those comfortable
square wicker chairs. About O'Clock
he made motion TO rise, but resumed
his seat; the young lady resumed hers.
She had an engagement at hakpast
5, and saw the hands of the clock get
ting near that hour. Twice the man
seemed on the point of leaving; twice
he started to rise, twice she rose; then
be sat down again, and she resumed
her seat each time. Finally the h&I
hour struck then it became quarter to
s. The engagement had not been kept.
Did the man intend to stay to dinneri
He didn't; h. explained matters.

cut the buttons OF instead of taking
them out of the chair back. The
Englishman's leave takings were brief,
and he's never repeated the call even

A Curiosity.

One of tie greatest curiosities in q geo

unearthed and brought to Eugene, where
it was seen by d Press-Times reporter in
company with several scientific men,
among whom was Professor Thomas
Condor of the Oregon State university.
The discovery was made by Fred Raj

river in a boat on hunting and fishing
trip. intending to go to the mouth of the
river. When about six miles below
Eugene the boat struck snag, breaking

Tho booming Of Cannon Heard at tn
Delta on the Ganges.
For many years strange noises have
been heard over half the large area Oh
the Ganges delta. for which no satisfac-
tory cause has been discovered. The
noises are called the Barisal guns from
the chief town of the districts to which
they are mostly confined.
The Asiatic society of Bengal has dis
cussed the sounds, says the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch, but the learned MEM
bers are no nearer solution than when
the subject was taken up nineteen years
ago.
The sounds resemble the explosion of
bombs or the thunder of heavy guns.
They occur at regular intervals, but
most frequently in the rainy season,
and their usual accompaniment is a
southerly wind. They are heard along
one hundred miles of the coast and up
the many branches of the delta from
fifty to one hundred miles inland, and
due north as far as CAIRO hills, about
one hundred and fifty miles from the
coast. The low lying, swampy coast

habited, and, strange as it may appear,
no one ever seems to be at or near the
place where the noises originate.
The noises are variously assigned to
atmospheric electricity, to subterranean
or subaqueous agencies. to the bursting
Of bamboos-which last, however, pro-
duces a noise more like the crack of
musl1etry than the boom of artillery
md also to the breaking of the surf roll
lers along the northern shore of the bay
Of Bengal, the sound of which, it is
urged, is borne far inland along the
river channels. The discussion showed
chiefly that the learned men were sadly
perplexed, and the only conclusion they
reached was that as yet sufficient data
had not been collected to trace the
sounds to their origin.

The Roundhouse Wins the Second

The tug-of-war is now right where it

apiece, last nights match being to the

1t took place, as before, after the whis-

roundhouss taking the lower end of

Available box cars were utilized to

were present.
THE PULL.
The work began at 4:35. From the
first it could be seen that different tao
tics than before would be pursued. 1t
was steady pulling from both sides. and
very balanced. The handkerchief staid
directly over the mark. 1t quivered in
response to the strain, but otherwise
there was no movement. Seven min
utes passed, and still no change. Then
1t began to move. The machinists had
it by several inches. A rally from the
lower end of the track and back it went.
1t continued till good foot, and then
eighteen I0ch- below the mark. The
roundhouse crew was winning. They
then fell 20 their old trick Of. jerking,
only holding what they gained. After
Twenty-Five minutes the machinists
made a grand rally and brought back
six inches.
The audience was very much quieter
than at the previous pull. The con-
test was too steady and even for euthus-
iasm.
Darkness found the men still holding
grimly n. The roundhouse men gained

The Naval Omcer,s Title.

The title of a naval officer as ap-
piled 10 one of the officials of the
custom house has always been an
enigma to most people, and very few
have any idea of how it was created.
The Office dates back to the colonial
days, when Charles III. was king Of
England and his brother, afterward
James H., was duke of York. James
received percentage on all customs
receipts III America, and was also lord
high admiral of the English navy. He
had very little confidence in the men
whom his brothers selected as collec-
tors of customs in this country, and in
order to protect his own interests he
insisted on appointing a man whose
iuty it would be to approve every per-
nit issued by the collector before it
would be valid AS lord high admiral
he naturally selected these men from
his own officers and placed a naval
officer in every custom house in the
British provinces in America. Both
the Office and the duties remain prac-
tically unchanged to this day. and the
naval officer" who is merely an
auditor, must still countersign all per.
