that the physician in attendance forbade
Maher attempting TO fight before Friday.
A hasty conference of Dan Stuart and

Stuart is anxious that the fight shall

STEALING
OUR THUNDER
Shipping and Tonnage Statistics
Credited to Portland Instead
Of Astoria.
ANNUAL REPORTS ARE MADE
By the Psrtland Chamber Of Commerce Em-
bodyias Assy Statistics Properly Be-
loagins to the Fort Of Astoria
Make Our ONO Reports

In view Of the coming growth OF As
torta, and the wonderful development In
store for It, the question ariseg. why its
records Of business, manufactures Inn
ports and exports, are so incomplete. ana
also why the city has allowed others to
take credit for a large share Of the busi-
ness belonging here. Attention was call
ed TO the fact by the inquiry OF a stran-
ger who desired specific data as 10 the
resources Of the city and county and its
export and import tonnage.
In most cities, particularly seaport
towns, very careful records are kept,
generally by the chamber OF commerce
or board OF trade Of the town. These
records show the amount OF freight ton
mage handled in all classes OF business
the amount and kinds Of goods imported
and exported. the capital invested in bus
iness. the various manufacturing insfitu-
tions. their capital and output, the num-
Der OF ships In and out Of the port. and
other such matter. Inquiry reveals the
fact that Astoria has not had complete
records upon these subjects for a number
Of years. while Portland. through It's
Chamber OF Commerce, annually issues
comprehensive report In which ia in-
cluded all the principal tonnage and ship
ping Of Astoria proper. Coasting vessels
and steamers which never see Portland
are reported. with their tonnage, as en-
tering and departing from that city.
From all the facts 1t would seem that the
time has now arrived when Astoria
should make its own records. and show
truthfully the extent Of Its own business.
1t Is well known that the Portland re-
ports. even take credit for salmon ship
ments. when the tonnage never saw that
city.
The Astoria Chamber OF Commerce at
this time and for time 10 come. cannot 10
a greater service 10 the city than to pub
lish comprehensive statistical reports OF
the business actually done within its bor-
ders.

WILL PREVENT
COLLISIONS
Another Wonderful Instrument Which
Will BE a Great Aid to
Navigation.
Il is Called the EophOne and is Perfected
Instrument, Which kilI Enable yes-
sells to Navigate Safely
in a Fog.

New York city, February IS. iSss.-
The probability OF collisions and wrecks
due to iogI has been accepted as
a sort OF unavoidable evil, which must
become greater as the number and speed
OF vessels increase. But the inventive
genius OF man could not let such a con-
dition OF affairs continue without at
tempting to do away with II, and there
has been perfected lately q simple In
strument. called the eophone. by which
the direction from which a sound pro-
oeeds can be determined with absolute
accuracy In fog or darkness.
The simplest description OF the instru-
ment is that Il consists OF two bell
mouthed sound receivers. separated by a
central diaphragm The sound receivers
are connected 10 the two ears. and. when
pointed directly at source OF sound, the
noise is the same In each ear. When
turned away the sound Is heard In only
one ear.
on shipboard the sound catching and
dividing part OF the instrument extends
above the top OF the chart house. The
tubes are brought within the chart house.
and the instrument may be turned from
below to point in any desired direction.
The eophone has now been perfected,
there being many points for which nu-
merous experiments. lasting over several
years, have been required. In order to
determine the best form, especially with
the sounding tubes and ear pieces. Va
rlous reflnements, such as microphones
and devices adding to the complication,
but not improving the use, have been
eliminated.
To illustrate the character OF the trials
which have been made with the eophone,
one was placed in the lighthouse tender
Lille, and In a dense fog whistiing
buoy was picked up at a distance OF
mile and Its direction Indicated correctly,
although every effort was made TO con"
fuse the observer by change OF course.
Ordinarily there is great difficulty in
picking up a whistling buoy in fog.
Another test, showing the merits OF the
phone in a striking way. was made by
ilIpdinr the observer and then chasing
n..her vessel by sounds Of Its whistle,
Ne \essel pursued doubling and twist
~ In every possible way. No difficulty
hatever was found in following the YES
sL under such circumstances, spar
buoys can be picked up from the echo
of the boats whistle.
The eophone Is the invention or Mr..
Frank de la Tore, a scientist OF Baltl-
more. He has spent number OF years
In perfecting 1t and has been aided In
the development by the advice and criti-
clsms Of some OF the greatest physicists
OF Europe. The eophone can be placed
upon any vessel without alteration in the
arrangement Of the ordinary chart house;
II is not expensive; II adds practically
nothing to the weight and 1t cannot get
out of order. and as Its efficiency has
been demonstrated by actual trials It is
sure to be universally adopted for use
on board ship and at all lighthouse signal
stations and ferry ships.

A MESSAGE FROM THE GALE.
Listening on the Ice Flow to the Roar
OF the Coming Swell


Listening on the Ice Flow to the Roar
OF the Coming Swell.
When the swell is heavy In the Ice
pack 1t is often very difficult to ascertain
from which direction It comes; and Just
as difficult as it is. just so important
may 1t be that 1t should be found out
rightly. as the safety Of the ship might
wholly depend upon correct judgment as
to this When the huge ice masses be-
gin to move and screw and press on the
sides Of the vessel, rising and falling in
a heavy swell, then there is only one es-
cape: namely. to work the vessel into
the fields away from the side from which
the gale blows. A mistake as to the di-
rection of the running swell has often
proved fatal, and the mistake is easily
made.
An old Arctic sealer told me how. in
hours of dread in the Arctic ice-paek. he
had laid his ear down TO the ice-bow
and listened to the roar of the coming
swell-that terrible message from the
furious gale-and how he thus had dis
covered whence the gale was pressing.
and had been able to save the ship from
destruction. | tried his method and
found that 1t worked admirably. What
Is well worth noticing is that open water
nearly always is to be found in the ice
pack on one side of icebergs. The ice
bergs that we met were generally in mo-
ton. carried onward by the ruling cur
rent; often they ran forward in the Ice
selds at a speed OF several knots, piling
ul the huge flows before their cold, gilt
terllS- bows: but behind them they left
an open sheet of water large enough for
any ship.
Now. OF course there would be many
dangers for a vessel tugged along In the
ice-pack from such a floating monster:
but l believe. nevertheless, that this
method might be instrumental in saving
a vessel from being crushed when the
ice field is moving heavily.

ARCTIC FRUITS.
Some OF the Dainties That Grow Amid
Ice and Snow.

In spite OF the latitude and the Arctic
current. Labrador is the home OF much
that Is delicious in the berry world.
Even the outlying islands furnish the
curlew berry and bake apple In profession;
and upon the mainland. in the proper
month. September. a veritable feast
awaits one.
There are three varieties OF blueberries,
huckleberries. wild red currants. having a
pungent aromatic flavor. unequaIed by
the cultivated varieties; marsh berries,
raspberries, tiny white capillaire tea ber-
ries. with a flavor like some rare per-
fume, and having just a faint suggestion
Of wintergreen: squash berries pear ber-
ries and curiew berries, the latter not
so grateful as. the others, but prime
favorite with the Esklmos. who prefer
them to almost any other. and lastly,
the typical Labrador fruit. which, ex-
cepting few scattering plants in Cam
ada and Newfoundland. is found, be-
lieve, nowhere else outside OF the PEN
insula-the gorgeous bake apple.
These cover the entire coast from st.
geranium-like leaves struggle with the
reindeer moss upon the islands. carpet
alike the low valleys and the highest
hill-tops. and even peep from banks OF
everlasting snow. Only one berry grows
upon each plant. but this one max IS
most delicious mouthful. 1t is the size
and form OF a large dewberry. but the
color is bright crimson when half ripe
and a golden yellow when matured. Its
taste is sweetly acid.
