A MARROW ESCAPE.
Henry HIte, a COlored Cook, Has an
Exciting Experience With the
Waves

About ten days ago Robert Norris left
Astoria for his place at Norriston Park
on the Elk Creek beach. He was ac-
companied by a laborer and a colored
cook, Henry Hfte. well-known In As
toria. II was a very stormy day when
they started from Seaside and II was
all the pack horse could do 10 carry his
load over the muddy road between
that place and Elk Greek II was quite
dark and high tide when the tired and
footsOre party reached Silver Point
which, by the way, is a nasty place
TO round in the dark, especially II the
tide is in and a storm raging as II was
on this particular night. Mr.. Norris
cautioned the rest of the party to be
very careful in picking their way
among the rocks on the beach and to
follow the packhorse closely. They
started all right and were half way
around when huge breaker came tum-
bling over them with roar that sound
Cd as IL the whole ocean had suddenly
started towards shore. The colored
cook was bringing UP the rear when
the wave struck them, and for the
next minute he found himself being
banged up against the face Of the cliffs,
with pretty good prospect Of going
to sea when the water receded. He
managed to cling to a rock, however
until the water had rolled out Of the
way, and fearing another deluge, hur-
riedly climbed the steep bank until he
reached a place Of safety at the top.
1t was awfully dark; the black man
was white in comparison. Norris and
his companion had rounded the point
in safety and had proceeded down the
beach, thinking Henry would follow
But Henry was a stranger on the
beach and when he found shelter under
the trees at the top Of the cliff, he

Is THE BENSON HOUSE LEGALLY
oRGANIZED7

Astoria. February 2.-(Editor Asto-
rian)-Much attention Is now being d.
rected to the question as to the legal
Ity OF tha Benson House" In the ore
gon legislature.
BY Section 3 OF Article ". OF the
Constitution ot oregon Il Is provided.
The senate shall consist OF sixteen,
and the house Of representatives OF
thirty-four members, which number
shall not be Increased until the year
1860. after which time the legislative
assembly may increase the number OF
senators and representatives, etc,
provided: That the senate shall never
exceed thirty and the house Of repre-
sentatives sixty members"
BY the statute Of lss7 code. Sec. 2iS6)
the authority OF increasing the number
OF senators and representatives was cx-
erclssed in the following terms The
senate Of this state shall consist OF
thirty members. and the house Of rep
.resentatives Of sixty members" We
see the terms house OF representatives
are clearly defined by the constitution
and laws passed by its authorities to
be a body composed OF sixty mem
bers''
The next question that presents Itself
is what Is a quorum Of the house Of
Representatives? We also find this
question defined by the constitution
by Sec l2. OF Art. ": Two thirds Of
each house shall constitute a quorum
to do business" AS we have seen the
term house" has been defined by law
to be sixty members. the quorum, then,
Ito do business" must be a number not
less than two thirds Of sixty mem
bers." which are forty pembers. The
term quorum signifies a minimum num-
Der, less than which Is prohibited from
acting as a fully organized body. 4
greater number than forty may act but
a lesser number cannot. The Benson
house" Is now composed of but thirty
members, hence too small as "a mini
mum or quorum number ITO do busl-
ness" II the provisions Of the cOnsti-
tuition may be- dlsregarded, and less
number than forty may meet, organize
and do business, then there Is no mini

Far up the slim twilight fiuttered
Moth wings of vapor and flame;

Our eyes could never see.

A small boy. who has had the pleas
ure OF chopping the family wood, stood
by yesterday morning while his father
showed him how TO make better time
with the job. The old man struck
a knot with the axe. which caused the
stick OF wood to fly up and dt him in
the eye The air was blue for few
moments and the boy laughed. A few
moments later he had a seance with
the old man. which resulted In the
seat Of his pants being we'll busted.
When the boy told the story he was
laughing on the other side OF his
mouth. The old man has his eye in
sling.

weighed heavily in that quarter during

that sort OF thing is not apparent now.

bOmbariing the quarters every few
minutes is left out. Times must be
