TERMINAL ISLAND

| TERMINAL ISLAND, Aug. 2S.-(Reg-
ular Correspondence I'VE thought we
were happy last year at Santa Monica,
but it did not compare with this" said
an enthusiastic islander who occupies
pretty new cottage here with her fam
lily. 1t is indeed true that this island
possesses many advantages over other
beaches. Not the least of these is the
opportunity for rowing in still water
afforded by the bay. Many people who
would not venture out on the ocean in
a small row or sail boat. enjoy padding
around in the bay and feel perfectly
safe.
1t is not the timid. however, who most
enjoy this delightful pastime nor who
have a corner on its pleasure The pos
sibilities of its seclusion and sentiment
for 'love's young dream" are not to be
lightly estimated and from appearances
are highly appreciated. The curious
Will gaze from the tavern porch and nod
knowingly to each other and the vulgar
lights of the pier will betray the person
ality of strolMng evening lovers. But
the bay and a boat; that is seclusion,
bliss and courtship made easy.
There will be some weddings in the
vicinity of Los Angeles before the harbor
is finished and it can all be traced back
to row boat, the bay and Terminal
Island in the summer of 1897.
The tower on the pier is away up in
the air and the wire is stretched taut to
the raft all ready for Sunday and Prof
Raymons and his wonderful diving
feats
Every day brings a little company of
picnickers and larger number of visit
ors. The hot days we are sure to have
in September will doubtless add very
materially to our island residents, de-
spite the opening of school in that
month so much depored. The children
are having such an indescribably good
time they will be very reluctant to re-
turn to books and desks until the last
possible moment. There will be a good
ly array of blistered noses, peeled cheeks,
brown, black and red hands, legs and
feet present themselves to startled school

Survivals of Medieval Time

The e-pointed stars in our flag and
the six-pointed stars in our coinage are
odd survivals of medieval heraldry.
When the design for the United States
flag was made France was a friendly
power and the designer of the flag fol-
lowed French heraldry in the use of five
pointed stars in the azure. The colonies
already had a coinage which was copied
from that of Great Britain. In British
heraldry the six pointed star was used
and the colonial coinage copied this Pc
culiarity from the medals and coats OF
arms of English royal and noble houses.
Thus the stars of our flag are emblem
attic OF France and those of our coinage Of
England 1t should be noted, however,
that the coin use of the star is not uni

same coin a difference is observa BILE, the

SAN PEDRO

SAN PEDRO, Aug. 2S.-(Regu Cor
respondence) One of the principal
points of interest for sailing parties from
the beaches along this coast is White
point, some four miles northeast Of this
place 1t is a point of land on r. d
Sepulveda's ranch, and takes its name
from the white rocks on the side of the
hill sllirting the sea. From certain points
of view on the landward side this rock
resembles a giant head, with old-fash-
ioned whiskers under the chin, forever
gazing out over the sea. The drive from
San Pedro to the ranch is most de-
lightful leading out through and around
the Palos Verde hills, sheltered from the
too strong ocean breeze at times. yet
with the water always in view, or along
the cliffs looking out over the blue Pa
cific. as the driver may select. The beach
for several miles from here northward
is almost entirely of a rocky formation
and reese mbles that of the Atlantic ocean
more nearly than any the writer has ye5
seen.
The large rocks are weatherworn into
various shapes, two of which from the
water might be easily mistaken for a
man ard woman, she sitting and he
standing erect. At low tide the shell
hunter and seamoss gatherer may clam
ber out seaward quite a distance over
huge boulders in search of such treas
ures, which old ocean casts up here more
bountifully than at any other point
along the shore. AT one place there Is
a small stretch of sandy beach. where
the bather may walk out and step into
quiet pool made by q natural forma-
tion of the rocks and where the white
breakers chase in and out through the
crevices with the tide.
The ranch house, with its surrounding
cornfields and big haystacks. stands on
