Roller skatiug is Popular.

At the recent cycle show in Paris as
well as at Stanley show, in London q
new kind of roller skates for street and
road use were exhibited, which is get
ting very popular in both countries,
They have the shape of the ordinary
skate, but instead of the steel runners
there are two rollers provided which
are covered by rubber tires. For prac-
tical use on ordinary roads they are ex-
cellent. Their weight is about three
pounds each. A good roller skater can
move surprisingly fast on these skates

within dag or two, with view of CON
ferring with the superintendent of the
assay Office regarding the adyisability
of reducing the premium on gold bars

FORTY YEARS AFTER.
San Francisco.

We climbed to the top of Capitol HILL
Sweet Kitty, my sweetheart, and L;
And watched the moon make stars on tn
waves,
And the dim white ships go by,
While a throne was made on q rough ston
wall,
And the king and the queen were we;
And sat with my arm about Kitty,
And she with her arm about me.
The water was mad in the moonlight,
And the sand like gold where it shone,
And our hearts kept time to its music,
As we sat In that splendor alone.
And Kitty's dear eyes twinlIled brigh
And Kitty's brown hair blew so free
While l-os win lnS --.o about City
And she with her arm about me.
Last night we drove in our carriage
To the wall at the top of the hill;
And though we're forty years older,
We're children ar sweethearts still
And we talked again of that moonlight,
That danced so mad on the sea,
When sat my arm about Kitty,
And she with her arm about me.
The throne on the wall was still standing,
But we sat in the carriage last night
For wall is too high for people
Whose foreheads have Innings of white,
And Kittys waist measure is forty,
While mine is full fifty and three;
So can't get my arm about Kitty,
Nor can she get both hers about me,

The great number of cyclones report
ed recently In the eastern states or
rather in states east of Utah, has opened
up for discussion again the question as
to what the cyclone is. It has been re-
garded as impossible to &C cunt for
many of the wonderful things done by
these twisting molochs of the skies on
the theory that they are only air in
motion. There are hundreds of in
stances were walls and trees have been
cut away as though 1t had been done
with a sharp steel tool. 1t is well known
however, that air becomes solid when
acted upon suddenly, as with dynamite,
for inatance, which fast accounts for
much of the cyclonic phenomena.

Possibly no state in the union or any
other spot of its size in the civilized
world contains such variety of all
things that enter into the make up of
human life, happiness and comfort as
does Utah. Within her borders can be
found almost everything; mineral, ami
NAL or vegetable. 1t has been said and
truly too, that Utah might be walled in
and all outside communications cut off
and her people can produce substantially
everything they need to make them

could not even articalate. 1t was some
thing she had never seen before. With
great presence of mind she hauled him

among the neighbors, who turned out

collapse, but strenuous to be told the
