Estimated losses. es...................$22 $220,0O0
Length deluged (miles). ......... 2l-4
The above is my estimate of the ac-
tual Front street loss. This morning /
started in a boat from the lower end of
this thoroughfare and went right up to
the Taylor street crossing, where the
flood line now ends. In order to sim
pllfy the account of this trip, the reader
must bear in mind that it deals with
only this one street, / leave First, Sec
ond, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Glisan, the
cross streets, and East Portland for fu-
ture reference.

of vision is the top Of the long Union
passenger depot. Just here it IS all Will

ing roofs like wings Of some sea bird to
show that man has ever built anything

round promiscuously, one of them rest

wagon, and all more or less battered and
demolished The old struggling, Union

their palmiest days, next come into
view. They are tilted into a dozen
shapes, the roof presenting a series of
switchback curves, with the underpin-
ming of the building all displaced and
lying in the water alongside the main
bulk Of the structure. At the corner of
Glisan street, deep in many feet or
water, is a Front street car all broken
up. and few yards away, enclosed in
a board fence that now bobs up and
down and floats in the tide, are num-
ber of.Southern Pacific cars, all more or
less dilapidated. The whole sidewalk
originally joining First, along Glisan,
has fioated up bodily, and now lies like
an enormous raft at an angle across the
centre of Front street. This is flanked
by large number Of lengths Of iron
rails and railway metal of various kinds

navigation unpleasant. At the triangu-
lar junction of Front, First and f

whole of the flooded district, and that is
saying a good deal. The whole triangle

THE LIBRARY "TEA.n

One of the Social Events Of the Season.
Commencement week in Astoria, as in
university towns, seems replete with
good times.
Literary in It's object and by no means
the least enjoyable was the Library
Tea given yesterday afternoon at the
residence of Mrs. Samuel Gilmore. BY
universal consent Of the hundred or
more guests present, it was conceded to
Fbe one of the social events Of the sea-
son.
The unrivalled taste Of the ladies APP
pointed to decorate, and the wealth Of
blossoms so bountifully furnished them,
combined to transform the rooms into
fragrant bowers Of beauty. Ferns, mari
Of unparalleled beauty; roses, equal in
hue and size to the boasted ones of
California; hawthorn and snowballs-all
bore testimony to the natural advant-
ages of Astoria as a flower garden, as
well as to the taste of the ladies, whose
skill in horticulture these blossoms
proved.
The prevailing color in the hall given
by the marigolds so daintlly entwined
with ferns along the balusters, was car
rled out also in the dining room by n
dish Of gorgeous eschscholtzias and
marlgolds as a centre piece for the table.
(En passant--the golden hint was gem
erously needed, resulting in a goody
sum, far beyond the expectation Of the
ladies', for the library fund.-
The refreshments were a very appe-
tlzing, though vanishing evidence, that
the ladies' OF Astoria are as thoroughly
skilled In housewifely arts as imbucd
with esthetic tastes.
A very enjoyable feature Of the after
noon was the rendering at intervals Of
piano duets by Mrs. Theo. Olsen and
Miss Polly Mexican; a vocal solo. re-
vealing a naturally rich and sympa-
thctic voice, by Miss Alma Heilborn;
piano solo, smoothly and gracefully
given, by Miss Susie Gilmore, and a
buiNiI cOlOf tetptNihHg bEShf W AhADD
Louise Talent.
Mrs. Olsen, In her usual gracious man
ner, accompanied the singers and also
skillfully rendered brilliant piano solo.
Mrs. Charles Fulton added greatly to
the pleasure OF the guests by two songs,
whose exquisite vocal rendition was
greatly enhanced by the charming will
ingness of the singer
Shall we flatter the gentlemen, or give
them deserved reward, If we reveal to

usual and striking evidence Of self
sacrifice in a good cause, FOR them 10
leave their all absorbing business to
favor an afternoon tea with their pres

Special Correspondence to Astorlan.

Special Correspondence to Astorlan.
Portland, Or, June 14.-In the higher
levels of the flooded district, Astorlans
will be glad to know that the water fell
perceptibly today, giving the city the
benefit of another block in the business
centre along Washington, from Fourth
to Third. Beyond this fall at the par
ticular point mentioned, there is no ap-
parent decrease, and in all the lower
parts of the metropolis, taking in Front,
First and Second for several miles, the
flood is still running high. The Dekum
block on the surface is just clear,
though, of course, many cellars are stili
loaded to the street line with water far
above this point. An attempt was made
in the early morning to run cars down
as far as the Dekum, but the asphalt
sank in several places, twisting the
rails into many curves and throwing
two cars off the track. Evidently very
serious damage has been done to the
lower strata of all the asphalt that has
been inundated, causing it TO weaken
and give way at the approach of any
thing like heavy traffic. Water was be-
ing pumped out of the cellars of the
Oregonian building all day, sending a.
continuous and heavy stream down the
culverts in several directions. The
pumps were also kept going in all the
big buildings above Third street, and
plumbers are beginning to straighten
matters out somewhat in the higher
levels.
Early travellers were surprised to note
the demolishing of a good deal of the
elevated sidewalk this morning down
about Second street, where the water Isl
still several feet deep. This act Of van
dalism, ascribed by some to the boat
men, had the effect of increasing the
boat traffic very perceptibly.

TREASURY STATEMENT.
A Deficit of Nearly Eighty Million
Dollars.

Washington, June 15.-As the end of
the fiscal year is only Is days distant,
the treasury officials are about to give
a fairly accurate estimate of the net
results of the treasury's operations for
the year Up to this time the receipts
have aggregated $2S2, ,2O4, 721 and the dis
bursements 1856, 1881, leaving de-
fcit for the last eleven and half
months of T4,9O2, GIG 1t is thought by
treasury officials that the total for the
year will not be materially greater than
it is now, and that $4,000, 900 will prob
ably more than cover it. While the cash
balance today reached 115O95,1S2, and
the gold balance $67,SO4,972, the lowest
point since the January bond issue, the
situation is causing but little uneaslness
at the treasury department.

at least some disease can be thrown off and
some recuperatiOn take place"
Have you treated any hunchbacks in
your courses. Mr.. Magee ?"
Yes; | have some every year. One re-
markable case came to me four wears ago.
He was brilliant scholar of splendid
promise, but so emaciated by his aft1iction
that existence beyond the current year
seemed Impossible. | was even skeptical
over him myself. But faith carried me
through and the young man succeeded not
only in staying through the entire college
course, but departed from Berkeley strong
and vigorous enough to have made him
self recently conspicuous in the outside
world since graduation.
Several other criDples passed before the
instructor to receive their daily discipline,
Three had anchyloSis, or stiff joints. Mr..
Magee explained that the faults could not
be corrected. A stiff elbow, for instance,
could never be given free action by any
treatment short of a surgical operation {;
but some of the muscles above and be-
low the elbow could be so strengthened as
tn prevent the afflicted from becoming en-
tirely strengthlesS. The shoulder and
forearm, of course, could be made strong.
The clubfOOted man can he gwen a
strength that Will make his difficult way a
little less difficult; his shutting gait not
quite so cumbersome.
1--WE do not expect ito get rid of the in
jury" said the instructor as he directed
the three men in the class to the quarter
circle apparatus. by exeIc ising them
upon this machine we bring a light ten
sion to bear upon the muscles directly about
the injury and strengthen them so far as 10
prevent a spread of the rupture"
And you enable the patient to do away
with his truss ?"
Never. Neither muscular nor medical
science has yet been able to find way to
remedy rupture"
Mr.. Magee was Of the opinion that the
most common physical deformity among
men is what is known as spinal curvature.
Perhaps three out of every ten are more
or less afflicted with il, though the pos
session of ii is not a serious drawback to
health save when the curvature becomes
excessive. 1t is to prevent the latter that
Mr.. Magee is so watchful of the existence
OF the deformity among the students of the
university. Ii consists simply in a de-
parture of the spine from the line of the
plumb. Children cultivate 1t in school by
bad positions assumed when writing.
BOokkeepers and prir tiers acquire IL from
standing too much upon one leg. And
women, especially, fall victims TO it from
ridiculous way they have of standing
when engaged In conversation.
III illustrate 1t to you," said MIR. Ma
gee, and he forthwith assumed pose
that any woman might envy for its grace
and ease and exact propriety Hands
crossed laztly in front, one leg set forward,
the body resting on the opposite hip, the
spine distorted sidewise.
I'VE use the setting up exercises for il"
said the instructor, changing from the
