THERE was a sligkt inaccuracy in the
account which Appeared in the Herald
yesterday morning as to the length of
the Southern Pacific wharf at the old
Santa Monica canon. Our reporter
described it as 5000 feet long, while, in
fact, it is at present about 44O0 feet long
and will be extended to a distance of be-
tween 1900 and 4700 feet. The original
profile called for $500 feet, and it will
ultimately be carried out to that dis
tance. The structure itself is magnifi
cent one, and can accommodate the
largest class OF vessels ahoat.

Young man, when-you've been as long

what were the largest and smallest
healthy infants you ever say, doctor?"
There was a cunning little rogue,
who ia now only three weeks old, who
actuslly only tipped the scales at Az
pounds. His fond parents think he
weighed l0lS pounds. There was one
baby born here in Los Angeles that
weighed 16 pounds. That was the larg-

physician, ,as he dragged the reporter in

sat holding an atom in her arms, mostly

The little woman became at once very
digpi6ed, and remarked "There can
be no doubt, sir, about that" elevating
her eyebrows and holding 7supercili-
ously.
''How do you know in, MADAM 2" ven
tured the inquirer after trueh.
THE doctor told me so, and he does
not tell stories, sir" and gathering up
the squirming bundle the lady marched
out ignoring the unhappy reporter.
When she had left the room the doctor
pnt finger to one side of his nose and
whispered, Eight pounds, light"
The foregoing gives an idea of the
present status of the inquiry which has
been started. II there are any mothers
or fathers in the city who will throw any
additional lighton the subject, they may
address any communications they see
proper to the secretary OF the Society to
Ascertain the Average Weight OF New
born Babies.

CHICAGO capitalists are about to start
brewery in Los Angeles. This will
doubtless make it all the better for our
existing brewery, for it would ultimately
result in driving all foreign made beer
from Los Angeles, and make this city q
center OF production which would ram
ify far and near. We may remark, en-
passant, that remarkably large mum.
Der of capitalists from Chicago and Kan
sas City, of German extraction, have
been in Los Angeles OF late, and that
they show a remarkable unanimity in
avowing their intention of settling here.

THE summer season may be fairly
said to have opened at Santa Monica
yesterday, judging by the numbers Of
people who went down there to enjoy
perfect day and to take a sight at the
mammoth new wharf. Trains ran at
hourly intervals from Santa Monica
proper conveying all who desired to 20
to that point. The returning train had
to be cut up into three sections, the
first Of which consisted OF twelve cars,
and all were loaded with passengers.
After years OF waiting Santa Monica is
now on the up grade, and with ven

Lightning.

1t is estimated by a competent
authority that ones chances of
being struck by lightning in a
storm are as one in ten thousand.
This aught to be comfortable
factor those who dwell in districts
where electric storms are frequent.
The same authority gives a list of
objects and places to be avoided
in thunderstorms, and the
list includes trees, masts, high
poles, lofty buildings, spires and
steeples, water, stove pipes. bell
wires, iron fences, crowds of peo-
pie, droves of cattle, or other ami
mails, umbrellas. walking sticks,
and metal ornaments worn upon
the body. The conclusion to be
drawn from this is that the best
thing to do in an electric storm
is to put on your bathing suit and
go out and sit in a paddock.
though how one can even then
avoid water in storm it is diff
cult to see. There is comfort in
the thought, however, that nine
persons out of ten who are struck
by lightning are never aware of
the fact.

The body is hardly an inch in

a face which is the perfect coun-

creature, besides the great like

the face, is provided with two
legs which seem to grow from
the top of its head and hang over
the side of its face.

RESTORATION.

In the auckland N. 4. J Herald
of Nov 18th appears the following
telegram from the Associated
Press Bureau in Washington,
dated November =: President
Cleveland is drafting a message
to Congress in favor of restoring
the monarchy in Hawaii. This
telegram seems to cause the an
nexationists a great deal of worry
although we thought that they
by this time would have been
prepared for such a message. The
Advertiser is making a slight
mistake when it states that Pre-
sident Cleveland can act in Ha-
waiian matters only by authority
Of Congress There is nothing
before Congress in regard to Ha-
waii and the undoing of Mr. J. L.
Stevens unlawful actions here is
simply an administrative matter.
The Advertiser has wonderful
lot to learn yet in regard to in
ternational politics and diplo-
macy.
