Yesterday afternoon Jim Turk ap-
preached Jack Reed, a boatman, and
got into an alteration with him, the
difficulty being that Reed had distrib-
uted some cards from the Central Ho-
tel among the officers of one of the
ships now in port. Turk, it appears,
claimed that Reed was endeavoring to
see the sailors and so hurt his bus
iness. One word brought on another,
and Turk was about to demolish Reed,
who put his arm up to defend himself.
Frank Turk then put in an appear
ance, and before Reed knew what was
about to happen, one of his front teeth
was knocked out by a blow delivered
by the younger Turk. Jim Turk was
arrested and released on 500 bail, and
a warrant was sworn out for the ar
rest of the son. In his case the bail
will be fixed at $50 when he is caught.
The officers have not yet succeeded in
in Portland over the appropriation of
a massive stag hound which is now in
the custody of Chief Loughery, who
received a dispatch from Portland stat
ing that Turk had taken the dog with
him when he left the metropolis for
Astoria. Chief Loughery quickly had
the dog in his possession, but as he
had no warrant for Turks arrest. he
left him at liberty. Last evening, how
ever, a dispatch was received from
Portland stating that a deputy sheriff
was on the way down with a warrant
for Turk.

Information was received yesterday
afternoon that about fifteen fish traps
had been destroyed by drift wood and
the freshet and washed out to sea. They
were those situated on the edge Of the
channel from Chinook to Sand Island.
and were most expensive, the force of
the water near the channel having
made the use Of large piles in their
construction necessary. They were
placed at intervals for distance of
nearly three miles, and were owned
principally in this city. Three of four
belonged to the Elmore cannery, two
to men fishing for M. J.Kinney, and
eight or nine to p. ]. MCGOWAN ID
Sons. The loss is estimated at $4,000,
while the total damage since the fresh
ct began is estimated at $4,000. The
traps in Bakers bay were damaged to
a great extent by the immense quanti-
ties of drift that have come down the
river

Pictures Taken by skyrockets,

An exceedingly interesting English
invention consists of camera COM
bined with parachute, especially de-
signed for obtaining photographs of
Notifications and of the camps of the
enemy, although pictures may also be
made for general surveying purposes.
The parachute is snugfy folded in a
thin case at the end of a rocket, which
is fired to the required height and
burst open by means of time fuse.
The explosion sets free the parachute,
which is protected from injury by
means of casing of asbestos. The
parachute has number of thin UNI
brella ribs, and these are forced out
ward and kept in that position by
means of strong spiral spring.
From the parachute camera is sus-
pended, and string held by the oper-
ator is attached by universal joint to
the bottom of the device, for the pur-
pose of pulling the parachute back.
The camera is fitted with an instanta-
neous shutter, operated by clockwork,
so as to give several exposures at in
tervals At the back of the box is an
arrangement by which the plates can
be manipulated the same as clockwork.
A swinging motion can be given the
camera by the operator, and this will
enable him to obtain successive pict-
ures over wide area.
The whole arrangement is exceed
ingly ingenious, and if it can be EN-
ployed practically it marks an impor-
tant step in the science of modern
warfare.

No Such Thing as Instant Death.

1t is questionable if such phenom-
enon as instant death is known to the
scientist and investigator Physicians
and surgeons tell us that death by
gunshot wound is the easiest mode of
terminating life; yet, according to the
Philadelphia Record, rapid as such
mode of taking off must necessarily
be, the body has leisure to feel and
time to reflect and, on rare occasions,
even to act. On the first attempt of
one of the adherents of the Spanish
monarch to asstssinate William, prince
of Orange, the ball passed through the
bones of his face and brought him to
the ground. In the instant which
preceded stupefaction, however, he
was able to frame the notion that the
ceiling of a room had fallen in and
crushed him. The cannon ball which
plunged through the head and tore out
the brain of Charles XII. did not pre-
vent him from seizing his sword hilt.
The idea of attack and necessity for
defense was impressed upon his mind
by blow which we would naturally
suppose to have been too tremendous
and instantaneous to leave the least
interval for thought. Another ques-
ton in this connection is that of prob
able pain. Although numerous in
stances could be cited in support of
the view that the mind acts in so-called
instant death, it by no means follows
that the infliction of fatal blow is
attended by the least sem blance of
pain or single pang of fear or regret.
Unless death results Immediately,
however, the pain may be as varied as
the nature of the injuries.

Determined to See Cleveland.

Ex-Governor Francis became quite
well acquainted with Mr.. Cleveland at
the time the president and his wife
visited the west, some six years ago,
says the Philadelphia Times. Mr..
Francis was the mayor of ST. Louis and
he entertained the Clevelands at his
beautiful home. In the Francis men,
age at the time of the Clevelands' visit
was a cook whose advent in the house
hold had been made not long before
and whose little peculiarities of dispo-
sition Mrs. Francis had had no oppor-
tunity to study. Her cooking was ex-
cellent and she had come to Mrs.
Francis highly recommended. But
she had failing, not uncommon be-
low stairs, which did not develop I'M
til the morning after the Clevelands'
arrival. On that day Mrs. Francis re-
| ceived the surprising announcement
when she came down stairs that moth
ing had been done toward preparing
the breakfast. She sent for the cook;
she did not have to send far. The
cook was standing in the front hall.
watching and waiting for the appear
ance of the distinguished guests. Mrs.
Francis spoke to her.
81 want to see that president" said
the cook, rather hoarsely.
go down stairs and prepare the
breakfast" said Mrs. Francis with
frmness.
Devil bit of breakfast will I cook
until | see that president" said the
cook aggressively.
Then Mrs. Francis saw that the cook
was under the influence of liquor She
fed to find Mr.. Francis. The mavor
came downstairs and interviewed the
cook. She was adamant. No presi-
dent, no breakfast, was her motto.
She was not going to stay downstairs
| while the other servants were feastine
their eyes on royalty. It was nothing
that Mayor Francis assured her that
she should see the president after
breakfast. No; she needed inspira-
ton. She would see the president or
no breakfast would be cooked in that
house.
There was only one thing to be
| done-to humor her She was quite
capable in her condition of making a
very unpleasant scene. So the digni-
fed mayor told her to station herself
in position in the hall where she
could command view of the library.
Then he made an excuse to escort Mr..
Cleveland into the library. The cook
got good view of him, and when she
had gazed her fill she went downstairs,
true to her promise, and cooked break
fast. But She did not do the cooking
for the Francis family very much
longer.

Gambling in the Middle Ages.

Gambling was the curse of the noble,
as it has always been the curse OF
every class trained to win and to de-
sire, but with scant outlet for it's ener-
gies. The snights in winter gambled
pretty nearly all day. We remember
how the Servitor of Milun, entering a
castle in the morning, finds in the
great hall two knights playing chess,
SO absorbed that they do not see him.
"When Easter comes," say the
knights to Milun, "we will recommence
our tournaments" but until Easter
there is no rival to their games OF
chance except the eternal game OF
love.
Chess was the baccarat, the poker Of
the Middle Ages. In vain the king
forbade it in 1869, in 1898, and both
before and after, with every game o1
hazard. But who was to enter the
snowed-up country castles to tell tales
of knights and ladies playing the for
hidden game? The women were al
most as bad as the men. "Never play
chess, save for love-" says the Knight
de la Tour to his daughters, "ne soyez
jamais grant jouaresses de tables"
And he proceeds to tell them melan-
choly tales of land, of money, and Of
women's honor spent over the too en-
tieing board. But, alas, good knight,
the days are i'll to pass in winter time
