THE CLOSE.
Fishers Opera House Packed 10 Over

Fishers Opera House Packed to Over
flowing
The closing entertainment last night
of the Bacon Stock company at Fishers
was given to a packed house and the
justly celebrated company acquitted
themselves in a perfect manner. The play
was the ESTATE of Hannibal Howe" and
is representation of the serious side
of the work Of the Salvation Army. Com
edy and pathOs are combined and Mr..
Bacon was in his element, while Mr..
Webster in the leading character, and
ed Burgess in the comedy part were not
only equal to the requirements of the
rarts, but were most enthusiastically
received by the large audience. How
many kinds of law are there?' was
question that was never answered. The
entire play is a story from life, repiete
with truthful incidents. The ladies of the
company, one and all, flied their roles
perfectly and captivated the audience
with their winning ways and womanly
representations.
Astoria viii always welcome the BaconS
and hope that they will soon come again.
Prof Beggs is to be congratulated upon
the most successful opening of the new
pleasing manner in which the whole en-
gagement was handled 1t goes without
saying that whatever entertainment he
brings here will be first class in every
particular Astoria has long needed just
such enterprise. Mr., Beggs Is now in
correspondence with Bragg & Muller for
the Grand Star course, and If proper sup
pert can be had he will close the con-
tract for what will prove a series OF
splendid entertainments.
In all justice Mr.. J. F. Cordray, the
manager of the Bacon company, and the
well known theatrical man of Portland,
must not be forgotten, for without his
nerve and enterprise Astoria would not
have had the weeks entertainment Mr.
Cordray brought his own scenery from
his Portland house and spared no expense
or pains to make the opening of the new
house a success in every particular. Gen
ial and open hearted he wins friends
everywhere and will be welcomed when
he returns with another entertainment

DEEP SOUNDiNGS AT SEA,
Answer to an Oft-Asked Question-Inky
Darkness and Freezing Cold.

Answer to an Oft-Asked Question-Inky
Darkness and Freezing Cold.
How is the sea sounded? The Pop
ular Science Monthly answers that
question as follows: "A ship regularly
engaged in deep-sea sounding usually
has the sounding machine mounted at
the after-end, and when about to sound
is brought to standstill with the stern
to the sea. The stray line, with the
sounding-rod and sinker attached, is
over the guide pulley and carefully
lowered to the waters edge, the regis
ter is set to zero and the deep-sea ther-
mometer is clamped to the sounding
line, which controls the velocity with
the brake and third on the grating
outside to handle the sinker and instru-
ments, and to guide the wire as it
passes overboard; machinist is at the
hoisting engine, and the recorder takes
position for reading the register.
When the sinker is let go the vessel is
maneuvered so as to keep the wire ver-
tical and the friction line is adjusted so
as to allow it to descend from seventy
W Ouc ldtnOIub per ulnoGc.
The instant the sinker strikes bottom,
which is Enthusiastically indicated by the
sudden release of the wire from strain,
the reel is stopped by the friction line
and brake; the recorder notes the num-
Der of turns of the reel. In an hour
this messenger of mans ingenuity
makes its excursion through five miles
of watery waste to the abysmal regions
of perfect repose, and brings to the sur
face the soil with which the rain of
shells of minute infusorial organisms
from the upper waters has been for
ages mantling the oceans floor. Here
and there giant peak rising from these
sunless depths lifts his head to see the
sky, and the dredge and trawl tell us
that along his rugged sides, and on the
hills and plains below, and even in the
inky blackness and freezing cold of the
deepest valleys, there is life."

Joe paused and looked vacantly up
at the ceiling. His eye followed the

The heavy rumble of the great cylinder

That letter did the business.
Mcconnell had had a good edication
