DEPosIToRs, MEETING.

A large number of the depositors of the
suspended Savings bank held a meeting
at the Board of Trade rooms, last evening
to try to agree upon candidate to support
tomorrow for assignee of that institution.
Postmaster Jewett was chosen chairman,
and w. Mclaughlin, secretary. After
some discussion as to the best means to
find out the wishes of a majority of the
depositors, il was agreed to proceed to vote
upon the various candidates proposed, the
one receiving "A majority of the amount of
deposits represented TO be considered the
choice of the depositors for assignee The
ballot showed the greatest number Of
depositOrs present in favor of A A. HYDE,
and the largest amount of deposits repre-
sented were for G.. II. Blackwelder. This
ballot did not show a choice, as a majority
is required 10 make a choice, and no ma
jority was given TO any candidate; but Mr.
Blackwelier, receiving the support of the
heaviest depostors, is in the lead, as a
majority of the total amounts represented
and not a majority of the number of de-
positors, is necessary to an election. The
matter will be finally settled at meeting

district court this morning at 10 o'clock.

Bccswax From the Sea.

No one has ever been able to give an
authentic account of how such enormous
quantities of beeswax came to be de-
posted on the beach near NeheIem.
Specimens IRE found along the beach in
various places, but it is most plentiful
near the mouth of the Nehalem. AS the
sea shifts the bar pieces of it are washed
ashore, and large quantities are found,
by blowing some of the low land near
the beach. There are spots where the
sea has never reached in the memory of
The Oldest settlers, and which are COW
cred with good-sized growth of spruce,
where deposits of the wax may be found

be found at the house of any settler on
the beach, and to all appearances it is

been unearthed, and one man shippe5-s,ii

by some, and SO stated, that it came from

from wrecked Chinese junk. These

Across the Ocean in Four DAYS.

The centrifugal propeller is the name
OF new invention designed to enable
steamers to attain extraordinary speed i.
Strictly speaking, the appliance is not a
propeller at all; it is simply remover of
resistance ahead. The stem of the
steamer is cut away downward and back
ward from the water line, and here the
rotary fan, or centrifugal machine is
placed. The pressure and resistance of
the water ahead is got rid of by clearing
the water way, thus virtually endowing
the propulsive screw or screws in the
stern with greatly augmented power.
In vessels moving ut speeds up to seven
knots, skin friction is the principal re-
sistance in still water; in vessels moving
at higher speed the resistance of the
water Immediately ahead increases at an
enormous rate, with tho increase of
speed. This can always be noticed by
the huge white wave swiftly-moving
vessel has in front of her-the "bone in
her mouth" as the sailors term it. The
object of the new invention is to scatter
this rctarding mass as it is being entered,
and by this means, it is claimed, that tho
speed of steamers can be increased to
the point that will admit of their cross
ing the ocean in four days. Vessels will
be fitted with this new device for expert
mental purposes both in this country and
in England, and it is expected that their
speed will be greatly in excess of any,
thing now afloat.-Neo York Times.
