NOW FOR THE REGATTA.
Everybody Should Work For It's Sue
cess.


Communications are coming in stead
lily from all parts of the northwest SEEK
ing information regarding the regatta.
Boat clubs of Portland, Tacoma, Seat
lie, Shoalwater Bay, and other points
on the coast want a representation, and
will in all probably have it.
The committee are busy sending out
advertising matter, and by tomorrow
night the big posters announcing the
program will have been pretty well dis
trlbuted
The finance committee will probably
commence their labors collecting today,
and all subscribers are requested to
pay up promptly.
Everybody seems to be taking a lively
interest in the affair and from appear
ances 1t will be decided success. Not
only will there be a grand program of
aquatic sports, but a number of races on
land will be run which will add to the
gen eral interest.
1t is suggested that the business men
and private houses decorate their build
ings on this occasion, and do everything
that will make II the most interesting
and enjoyable event ever held on the
coast
The United States warship will prob
ably leave San Francisco on the 15tn
arriving here on the 18th, and the Brit
ish cruiser from Victoria will probably
come in about the same date.

In conclusion, Harper's Bazaar expresses
the opinion that the only really needful
thing in the matter is to have everybody
understand and adopt what q few have
adopted and found convenient and cour-
teous, a conventional phrase to indicate that
the occupations of the house cannot be
thrown over for the pleasure OF converse
ton with friends who may find another oc-
casion for calling. To multitude of over
wearied women, interrupted until serious
pursuits become impossible, and nerves
and health break down, this little phrase
would prove boon.

rne Harvest and Hunters Moons.


1.-THE time of moonrise on any day is on
the average about 81 minutes later than it
was on the preceding day. This retarda-
ton is, however, by no means constant in
amount, being at times very much less
than the average. and at times very much
greater. A very marked diminntion in the
time of resardation occurs about the time
Of the full moon which falls in September
This moon is called the harvest moon. The
same phenomenon in a less degree occurs
at the time of the next following full moon,
which is known rs the hunters moon. The
time of retardation during the harvest
moon is less than half an hour in our lati-
tudes, instead of its average value of near
IL an hour, and for several successive nights
the moon seems to rise at nearly the same
time"
The phenomenon being thus described.
Popular Science News briefly states this
cause for it: At the time of the rising of the
harvest moon the apparent path of the moon
among the stars is much less inclined to the
horizon than it is at other times, and the
ordinary days motion of the moon along
this path makes an unusually small change
of position of the moon with reference to its
distance from the horizon.
