conclusion that there was hoodoo on the

Dissatisfaction bordering on a mild re-
bellion has developed among the eighty
five students of the College of Pharmacy.
About fifty of them. urged and abetted
by few indignant individuals in the
senior class, have signed and submitted to
the board of directors of the institution a
complaint against the conduct of Professor
John Calvert, who happens TO have been
an esteemed member of the faculty for
twenty-f five years and was one of the
founders of the college.
According to William M. Searby, the
dean of the faculty, the trouble started in
the senior class. He does not think
seriously OF it at all nor that Professor
Calvert will be hurt by it.

THE LIFE OF THE SEA.
Instructive Lecture by Professor Ritter
Before tho Academy of
Sciences,

Professor w. E. Ritter, assistant pro-
fessor of biology at the University of Cali
fornia, delivered lecture last evening be-
fore the Academy of Sciences on "The
Life of the Sea-"
His discourse was directed toward show
inc the significance of marine zoology in
the study of biological science. Its chief
Importance, he held. lay IN the great an
tiou,ty of marine life. All life had its
origin in the sea. and in consequence of
the peculiar conditions of lie in that
element, the evenness of temperature and
.the other conditions maintaining, more
General level OF life and many more
ancient forms are to be tound there than
upon the land.
This. he said, enables the biologist to
figure OUT the evolutionary history OF ami
mails more successfully by their study
than the children of the land afford.

Address to Pastors.

Rev. DR.. Hemphlii gave the members of
the Presbyterian Ministerial Association
his i'm pressions of celebrated preachers

and to Europe. After dwelling at length
on the theme that preaching Christianity
means exhortation and education, the
doctor was asked to give details about
celebrated churches. He responded by
saying that he had found no spiritual
food at the Madeleine in Paris, and that
at the Victoria Church the genuf1exions
of the clergyman and his assistants had
panied and shocked him.

THE BOILER EXPLODED.
Terrible Accident ON . French steamer
In the Orient.

an Inc Oxlo0ts
San Francisco, Jan. 21.-One of the
boilers OF the French steamer Saghalien
exploded while the vessel was of the
Cnlnese coast, December 2, bound from
Singapore for Hong Kong. Eleven Of
the stokers in the freroom and one en-
glneer We're killed by the explosion or
by the scalding steam. The chief
stoker was SO badly injured that he died
a lew hours afterward and four other
hremen died the next day as result of
their burns. The vessel was crowded
with passengers and for a time there
was the widest confusion on board.
A letter brought by the Rio de
Janeiro from the Orient yesterday,
gives the details of the disaster. The
passengers had just assembled in the
saloon for dinner, when there was a
loud report, like that of a cannon. The
deck beams were torn up, gratings were
sent flying in the air and the steamer
trembled from stem to stern.
When the steam had cleared away
men We're sent below to the stakehold.
Eleven of the Lascar firemen lay about
the floor before the ruined boiler, dead
or writhing at the last gasp, with their
flesh parboiled by the terrific bath of
superheated steam in which the explo-
sion had plunged them. The chief
stoker, Frenchman, was among them.
He died in the most frightful agony a
few moments after he had been carried
to the deck. The other fremen wEo
were in the stakehold were badly
burned. Four Of them died during the
night following the explosion.

An India Relief Camp.

Bombay, Jan. 21.-A correspondent
of the Associated Press, who has begun
a tour of the famine districts of India,
telegraphs from Saratora, south OF
Poona, an important section of the Dec
can, having an area Of $4,000 square
miles, and inhabited by 1850, 600 per-
sons, saying that the famine is less
severe there than in other parts OF the
Deccan. The first relief camp estab-
lished at Nansil, on the na-Banglore
road, in the middle of November, and
there are now five camps in that vicin-
ity. The people are lodging in mat
huts, containing parents and children
or three single adults. They work
from sunrise until noon, and from z.
M. to sunset at breaking. The
people are contented and have suf11-
cient food and blankets. The corre-
spondent did not notice any distress
from the cases of restitution. No gen.
eral emaciation was observed, nor were
the people dying by the roadside. The
situation in that district is taken, on
the whole, to be satisfactory.

SHOT HIS ARM OFF.
a Plucky Young Hunter OF Ducks on
Coos Bay.


Coos Bay.
Marshfeld, Or, Jan. 21.-Edward
Tower, son Of DR.. G. w. Tower, shot
his right arm off this afternoon, while
duck hunting. He was accompanied
by William Reichart and Harry Mas
burg, and the accident occurred about
three miles from town. The boys were
in small boat and Tower was picking
up his gun to fire at flock of ducks,
when the gun was accidentally dis
charged. The charge of No. 2 shot
took effect above the elbow, SCATTERING
the bone and severing the artery. A
stray shot also struck Nasburg in the
forehead, imbedding itself in the scalp.
Tower showed great presence Of
mind, and ordered his companions to
tie bandage above the wound to stop
the flow of blood, and then they started
to pull to town. When they reached
Marshfield Tower was very weak from
loss of blood, but he was very gritty.
On examination, it was found neces-
sary to amputate the arm several inches
above the elbow.
