HARBoR NEWS.
Extraordinary Fog-yarious Results of the
Weather-Other Notes.

Yesterday was very quiet along the
water front. During the morning Their g
was the worst fog over the harbor that
the Oldest captain or fisherman was able
to recall, and it remained until the storm
started in with fill vigor, and with it
the high wind that made the seas outside
something to be dreaded, but cleared
away the fog.
There was strong fear expressed by
tug boat men that many disasters will
result from the storm, because as one
said elf any vessel is off this coast she
must come in or go on the ocks.'' The
tremendous force of the storm could be
seen in the way that vessels out in the
harbor strained at their moorings. Tt
was wild day, and a still wilder mig hit
outside.
There are two classes of seafarine peo-
pie who are especially injured .byssweather
such as we hay {. been having of late, the
fishermen, who are unable to get to the
! fishing grounds, or to catch any fish If
there; and the coastwise shippers who
are tied up all along the coast with ole
or two men to feed and pay, and with
nothing to do. The situation with
them is fast becoming serious and they
are wondering when they ars to get
home. Some Of the coasters bound east
ward have been tied up here for the past
two weeks, and their shippers can see
no hope of getting away.
The work of loading and discharging
the steamers is progressing we'll, and
extra trains are run over the Grand
| Trunk to accommodate the freight that
must be brought down to load even one
of the great boats What troubles the
steamer ra ilroad men little and the
steamboat managers great deal is the
fact that the freights from England here
are SO hard to get, even at low rates.
The balance of trade seems to be in fav.
or of this side of the water, although
Canada is profting the most largely by
it. Some heavy shipments from England
to Canada is said to be certain in the
near future. AS it is cars that come
here with a full load from the West o,
Canada, go back empty. much to the
| delight OF the trampS who are still trav-
cling, taking advantage of the pleasant
weather, but not to the profit of the rail.

There was just a tuoch Of excitement
yesterday afternoon when two men got
into fight on Commercial street, but
when separated made their way in the
direction of their vessels Nobody seemed
to know what the row started over, but
dozen people saw the fight, and gave
entirely different descriptions of what
| they saw.
| There was just a faint touch of excite.
ment during the afternoon when the cap.
tain.of schooner, tied up at one of the
wharves thought some one had stolen his
boat, new on and too good to lose. He
had just started for Commercial street
| to find an officer, when his mate rowed
| back to the schooner in the missing boat.
aad peace was restored again.

desolating bereavements, she held fast to
her cheering, helpful ministries, and was
indeed the mainstay. of the home AL
though herself during large portion of
the time an invalid and great sufferer,
her presence and influence held up the
hearts OF others. In all this experience
she wrought out in herself those high
qualities which mark supeior type Of

and self-possession, proved the strength
OF character which has it's source in
living fifth and loving trust on high.
In the intervals of her tasking duties
she contributed to several papers occas-

were highly appreciated, and will be
treasured with her memory by many
friends. A few lines from one of the last
OF these may we'll close this brief memoir

UNCLE SAM's IMPROVEMENTS.
Radical Changes to Be Made in the ln-
terror of Our Post Office.

Long Needed Reforms at Last to Be Rea-
Hzed.
In the course of fortnight about the
busiest place in the Guy will be at the
big post office building.
radical change is to be effected in the
interior OF the structure and after the
work OF the carpenters will have been
completed, the. inside of the building will
hardly be recognized by those who have
been accustomed to slide in via the back
door and inquire for any important
mail.
For years it has been recognized by
government officials that there has been
severe cramping of srace in the interi-
or of the post office building The quar-
tiers have been narrow and as the business
has each year increased in volume, the
need of some changes became all tn o
more apparent.
On several occasions consultations
have been held for the purpose of max :
ing improvements. and steps have even
ut times gone SO far that the plans were
drawn up and the work of shifting
scenes about to commence. The long
anticipated has at last come.
During the past summer special
agent was sent to Portland by the Urea
sury Department. at Washington and
careful examination was pursued. The
agent consulted with Postmaster John
G. Small, who is the custodian of the
building and this week the plans for
the remodelling of the interior were
drawn up.
=. Yesterdays bids for proposals were adj
vertised and on December third, the con-
tracts will he awarded. Then the work
of reconstruction will be inaugurated.
1t promises to take several weeks time.
First of all the room that has for years
been occupied by the postmaster as
private office will with small adjoining
room be converted into new room for
the carriers. AS result the new Demo-
cratic postmaster will have room in the
part at the corner of Middle and Ex-
change streets.
The room now occupied by the assis-
tant postmaster will be stripped Of it's
walls. 1t will make part of the main
Office.
A part of the cashiers room will also
be thrown into the main working room,
and another section of the room that has
been utilized by the cashier and assis-
tants will be fitted into room where
the assistant postmaster will hold forth
The clerks in the general delivery will
also have portion of this department.
This W ill greatly improve matters, and
be of decided advantage toHthe public,
who can hereafter seek the.ear of the ass
istant postmaster from the main corri-
dor.
The cashiers department. for money
orders, registered letters, and postage
stamps, will be in the front part Of the
building near both the Middle street and
Exchange street entrances.
There will be all the modern improve
ments in connection with the repairs :.
Of all the changes the lock boxes will
not be disturbed.
AS consequence, there will be five
hundred and seventy-eight feet more of
working service in the main room than
in times past and it will be decidedly
easier to get the heavy mails in and out
of the building.
At present no changes are contemplated
In the upper story where are located the
offices of the Federal, District and Cir
