SEATTLE, FRIDAY. JUNE Z.
A MEMORABLE DAY.

Six years ago this morning the people
OF Seattle awoke upon a scene OF desc
iation after a night Of terrible excitement.
during when many fortunes were
wrecked. Al O'Clock in the afternoon
OF June 6, $50, the great FIRE broke out at
the corner OF Front and Madison streets.
IN a small paint shop which stood on the
now vacaat lot--the only one not built
upon rithin considerable radius. That
vacant lot Is the only reminder OF the
fire left.
ON the night OF the fire matters looked
gloomy for Seattle. but within twenty
four hours It had been turned by the
pluck OF the people into an advantage.
A meeting OF citizens was held at which
il was determined TO begin anew. The
main streets were widened. their replank-
ing ordered, and owners OF property set
about rebuilding. The spirit which ami
mated the people that day should not
flag row. when the reaction following
two years of extraordinary activity Is
taxing their fortitude and resources. The
long spell of depression throughout the
entire country has added to the anxieties
of the citizens, but the end Is nearing
From every part OF the United States
comes news OF reviving business, and its
effects will be felt here before long.
What busy scenes followed the fire.
The entire business portion OF the city
was under canvas. Front street was
given up to rebuilding. but Second street
was an avenue of tents. The work OF i'm
provement has entirely changed the ap-
pearance OF tho city, and even those
familiar with the scenes of those days
can hardly locate the principal stores
which stood temporarily on the site
where rows OF brick and stone buildings
now stand.
Within the next twelve months many
changes may be anticipated. The revival
of trade generally. the prospect OF new
business with China and Japan. and the
outlook for the sale of wheat and fruits
from this state all promise contributions
TO our prosperity. Locally. the beginning
of work on the canal the hllipg in OF the

by the general dizziness, should be encour-

is the surest basis of prosperity, Faith
in the possibilities of tho state and in the
eventual supremacy of Seattle rests upon
q lrm foundation; perseverance and cour-
ago will hasten the time Of fruitlon.

favored the establishment of a head OF
the church. This is because the coun-
try is SO large and the church is 50
scattered. Then again the house OF
bishops, which meets only once in
three years, has not proved adequate
to keep the various portions of the
church In touch with one another. The
proposed step, it's advocates also claim.

! The functions of the archbishop
would be few. His authority would be
no greater than any other bishops
But, even if he were cnly a fgurehead.
and, as n matter of fact, he could be
little more, the establishing of the OF
fce would have the desired effect.
The first archbishop would doubtless
be Rt. Rev. John Williams, d. D.,
IL. D., bishop of Connecticut, he being
the Oldest bishop in the church. The
element of the church that seems to be
jealous of New York will thus have
nothing to complain of, as the arch
bishop will be from Connecticut and
his see will be the District of Columbia.
Washington is chosen because of its
central location. The fact of its being
the country's capital has, of course, no
inherent significance.
Whether or not all this is 20 come
into existence will not be finally deter
mined until October next. And even
then, if the commission approves of the
departure, to become legal it will have
TO be voted upon by the general con-
fyention of the church.

slow swimmer, and very sluggish n

only thing that would make it move
would be scarcity of food.
/ The sea raven is altogether a bottom
feeding fish, and it rarely leaves the
bottom. II would make one grab at a
fish it sought for prey, but if the fish
should get away the sea raven would
not pursue it. But it is pretty sure to
get what comes its way. 1t may be
that it hes on the bottom covered with
coating of mud, and so practically
hidden from view. An unsuspecting
lkilie swins by just ont OF reach, and
the sea raven lets it go By without an
effort TO catch it, but let the killie
come just little nearer to the hidden
sea ravens nose, and its wide mouth
"opens, and away goes the killie-
! The sea ravens eyes are beautiful.
Like many other sea fishes they have
iaround them what appears to be very
narrow gold rim; it is as though the
eyes were set in gold sockets, which
were all covered by the flesh and skin
except just around the rim OF the open
ing where the eye appears. In sea raw
iens' eyes the gold rim is as bright as
though il he'd been FURNISHED. The eye
is green, shot with irregular, shaded,
lchangeable bars of yellow. The eye
sockets project from the head like little
Idormer windows in the skull; the eyes
ARE like gems IN gold settings. There
are two little horns projecting from the
head of the sea raven. one on either
side. Hanging from the sea ravens
.nnder jaw are number of curious lit
tie star shaped attachments, called bar
'bels, which look as though they might
have been cut out with pinking iron.
There is a sea raven about seventeen
inches long in the center pool of tho
.city's aquarium al Castle Garden, and
that is about as larcse as they grow.
