Great Changes Are Taking Place Of

Great Changes Are Taking Place on
Mount Tacoma.
Great changes have taken place
around the base of Mount Tacoma this
year, notably among which are the
widening of creyasses, the breaking
away OF several big lodges Of rock
heretofore crossed in making the as
cent, and the enlargement Of mountain
streams as a result OF snow fields ex-
tending mile farther down the noun
tain side than usual Terrific ava
lanches have Numbered down the
mountain, carrying destruction before
them. This week a large Tacoma party
came very near being swept away by
one. The party included Judge Dill
lon, Prof. Dewey, Olof Bull, Robert
Newell, Messrs. Wood and Johns. They
were half way around Gibraltar rock,
at an altitude Of about 1000 feet, when
a deafening noise was heard. The
next moment tremendous avalanche
dropped down, the edge Of the frozen
mass being only few hundred feet
away. It seemed as though the noun
tain was tumbling down bodily. In
yestigation showed that an ice mass
300 feet long, $50 feet wide and 200
feet thick, estimated to weigh 100000
tons, had fallen over a mile into the
Nisqually glacier. Undaunted, the
climbers kept on. They found that a
ledge of rocks known as the Camp Of
the Stars on the east side of Gibral
tar, had fallen off into Cowlitz glacier.
On the south side another big piece Of
Gibraltar had fallen, leaving only a
narrow ledge, so that climbers must
use ropes stretched from rocks at eth.
er end. Most climbers must now spend
the night at Camp Misery, near. the
top. This consists of a rocky ledge, six
feet wide and nine feet long, protect.
ed by reef ten feet high. Frequently
six or ten campers sleep, or try to
sleep here, the rocks protecting them
somewhat from mountain winds, which
have velocity of sixty to eighty miles
an hour. After spending the night here
the campers press on early in the morn
ing, and on reaching the craters,
breakfast is prepared by making soup
and coffee over steam jets issuing from
the interior. The increased width of
crevasses has made climbing more
dangerous than ever. Last week Henry
Bergh fell into a blind crevasse, mar
:rowly missing a fall of; hundreds of
feet A compromising feature is the
fact that mountain goats are becoming
more plentiful, the, Dillon party last
week counting forty three in one herd,
of which they secured six. Two streams
instead of one now issue from the MIS-
qually glacier, and a side stream has
cut an ice tunnel 500 feet long, through
which climbers can pass.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle ,-. ~

Deafness Cannot Be cured

By local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness IS
caused by an inflamed condition Of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infiamed you have
I :rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to
It's normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
faces. ~
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrhJ
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

Dies of Consumption After Entertaining
Batavia Fifteen Years. -
DR.. E. E. Snow of Batavia is mourn
ing the loss of the most remarkable
pet that has been brought to this part
of the country for a long time. It was
a parrot and had past, as we'll as a
wonderful personality. When the doc
tor was in Egypt in the days of Emin
Pasha he made the acquaintance of
that potentate, and on leaving for
home said he would like to take with
him one of the small gray parrots
that are peculiar to the Nile country,
especially on account of their intelli-
gence. So the viceroy sent out an at
tendant, who soon returned with one.
He was called Pasha, in honor of
Emin, and was all that has been re-
puted of it's species. Ill., III i.
Pasha could talk, especially swear
in the best Arabic, and though he soon
learned English enough to hold con-
versation equal to some people, he,liev-
er learned to swear in English. When
any one was to be gone over in the
birds best style of vituperation it was
the language Of the Nile that was
adopted tor the purpose. Pasha liked
America, and lived here fifteen years.
The bird was good friend when ac-
quaintance was once formed, but a cas-
ual visitor was his special aversion,
and he made use Of the strongest notes
of disapproval when subjected to any
intrusion. His vocabulary was large,
and he knew how to use it as some
people, even, could not.
But he was SO unfortunate as to take
into close friendship a, man Of the fam
| lily who had consump tion, and caught
the disease from him. a violent hem
orrhage ended Pasha's life Buffalo
