For sensick PeopIe.

When once the big ship has struck its
regular gait on the regular ocean swell,
the novice easily learns that he is at
sea. Experienced travellers, women es-
pecially, often give up at this point, and
lie quietly, in their berths for "a hours.
A strong will may hasten the cure,
but it cannot greatly delay the newt
able nor hold the elements down; nor
will champagne nor brandy. To be in
good condition before sailing Ito which
n one-grain calomel pill swallowed two
nights previous may contribute), and to
cat little plain food often when on
board, so that the stomach Is not
empty, aids recovery. The most dis
consulate, IL they can be persuaded to
1t, often rally on hot Cruel with little
salt init. The best way to get over be-
ing seasick is to go on the water ut
every opportunity. You will soon be-
come used to the motion of ships.

framed.

Once shrewd contractor found him
self at the same inn with a rival who
always trod close on his heels. He was
followed about and cross-questioned
necessarily, and gave vague answers.
Within half an hour of sending in the
prices for the job to be contracted for
he went into the coffee room and sat
himself down in corner where his
rival could not overlook him. There
and then he filled up his tender, and,
as he rose from the table, left behind
him the paper on which he had blotted
it. AS he left the room his rival caught
up the blotting paper and, with the
exulting glee of consciously success
full man, read the amount backward.
"Done this time" was h6 mental
thought as he filled up his own tender
5 lower, and fastened to deposit it.
To his utter surprise the next day he
found that he had lost the contract,
and complainingly asked his rival how
il was, for he had rendered below him.
.How did you know you were below
me?" Because 1 found your blotting
paper" II thought so. l left it on pur-
pose for you, and wrote another ten

The yacht moved away from the ship
keeping her in sight for long was hope
less. With sad hearts the plundered pas
sengers watched her grow smaller and
smaller to the south of them, while the
Bear churned her leisurely course
through the waveless sea.
At last the lookout shouted:
"The yachts coming back, sir"
The captain put his glasses to his
eyes and gazed for long time at the
horizon to the south.
SPY lingo, she is" he said, turning n
trife less ruddy. Then he said to the
mate: l"What do you think of it?"
Hes probably changed his mind and
is going to sink us. Thought he didn't
seem to be more than half convinced
when he talked of not doing it. What
are we to do?"
"I don't know anything to do" said
the captain, hopelessly, swearing in
wardly that If he escaped he would have
faster steamer next voyage or quit the
high sens.
Everyone aboard was now watching
the northern-bound yacht, and the
same disquieting thought seemed to run
through every mind, even before one of
the passengers gave voice to his fears.
Suddenly the captain cried out with his
glasses still to his eyes:
80 help me! It's not the same yacht.
Look, Joel"
The mate examined the approaching
steamer and conceded with the cap
tain's view. Soon all doubt was set at
rest. The oncoming boat was seen to
be much larger than the yacht and APP
parently much faster, speedy as the
other had seemed in comparison with
the Russian Bear. A big blackboard
ed giant with voice like foghorn was

FLOATING FIRE ENGINES.
Powerful and Effective Equipment OF
New York's Fire DOats.

Powerful and Effective Equipment OF
New York's Fire boats.
Mr.. Charles T. Hill contributes to
st. Nicholas another paper in his series
devoted to New York's fire department.
The present article describes the "Float-
ing Fire Engines" In writing of the
New Yorker, Mr.. Hill says of her equip
ment of pumps:
These pumps have n throwing ca
pacity of fully 10000 gallons of water
every minute, and under the best condi-
tlons they have been known to reach
1900 gallons minute--over 5000 gal
Ions more than any other fireboat afloat.
The water is drawn in through the sides
OF the boat, below the water line, into
what Is known as the Suction bay"
making an inner reservoir from which
the pumps are fed.
There are about 10000 little holes,
three-eighths inch in diameter, bored In
the sides of the boat just outside these
suction bays, and through these holes
the water Is drawn in, and filtered so
that no foreign substance may get into
the pumps. From the pumps it is forced
into an air chamber, thus equalizing
the pressure all around, and then into
u veritable water main IL inches in
diameter, which runs all around the
boat, between decks, and supplies the
various outlets. There are AZ of these
outlets Including the four stand pipes
or monitor nozzles), and they vary in
size from six inches in diameter down
to 2K inches (the size Of the regulation
fire hose) Two of the monitor nozzles
are mounted aft, on top of the cabin,
and big and small one on top of the
wheelhouse. The two stand pipes aft
have 2E-inch nozzles, the big one on the
wheelhouse having n 3H-inch opening.
From the latter solid 3R-inch stream
can be thrown distance of 800 feet, and
# necessary this can be increased to n
5h-inch opening, and a mighty stream
of water, having that width, can be sent
laundering out into space over 200 feet.
II you could hear this immense stream
as it pours into the bay, like miniature
cataract, you could better appreciate
the power Of this remarkable boat.
No body of fire could very long with
stand deluge like this, and it requires

the Pacific could pass him. However, It
was soon evident that this was not the
Intention of the enemy. Ranging along
side once more, but this time further
away, there was cloud of smoke from
the cannon, sharp report and the
crash OF rending plates. A jagged hole
had been torn in the ships side near the
bulwarks, which, while 1t did no harm,
scarcely improved the appearance of the
Bear.
Once more the yacht swung around
the circle and again ranged alongside
within distance of 100 yards.

tain of the big steamer.

on the bridge when ut speaking dis
lance, "a practical lesson is worth any

trate your rotton plates. Besides, you

The miners had no desire to be
drowned, neither did they wish to give
up their gold.

leader, "and we'll have a fight for it.
We are all heeled, and once we get that
villain and part of his crew on deck

"You couldn't run down that pirate, I
suppose?" suggested another, more eau
tious than the rest.
mo more than I could run down

craft" replied the captain dolefully.
"Time!" shouted the man on the
bridge.
We'll give you the gold" said the
captain. returning to his place.
"All right. And so that there will be

undoubtedly sink the ship. If you will
think over the crisis for q moment you
will see that nothing else is left for me
to do. 1t is the only safe plan; there
fore trust there will be no trouble"
There wasn't. The miners saw at
once that there was little use in making
row, and in short time the precious
cargo was transferred from the ship to
the yacht. 1t came in boxes and bags, in
large quantities and in small. and the
man on the bridge opened every pack
age so that there was no chance of fool
ing him. When the transfer was COM
plete, the young man sang out:
Il wish you good day, captain, and n
safe voyage. 1t may strike you as
strange that do not sink the ship now

JOHN r. BRYSON.

Sincere affection and true re-
spect prompt the grief Our citi-
zens feel at the death of John
Rodell Bryson. He has filled so
large a place in the community
that the unhappy termination of
his busy and useful career is felt
to be a public calamity. Judge
Bryson was an ornament, an
honor to the legal profession.
Scrupulous integrity and sound
Judgment marked his career as a
lawyer. He despised the petit
logger. In the court room he
appealed to reason and not sentl-
ment. He was successful in his
profession and ranked among the
leading lawyers of Oregon.
Mr.. Bryson not only did not
seek political honors, but he con-
stantly shunned them. Early IN
his career he was elected county
Judge of Benton county and gave
the people a business-like and
satisfactory administration, but
since then he has firmly refused
many earnest requests to accept
political offices. Although he
seldom took a prominent part IN
political struggles, his influence
was far greater than that of many
more noisy and obtrusive men.
His quietly expressed opinion
carried great weight.
Judge Bryson was a useful ano
public spirited citizen. He was
a man of affairs and is closely
identified with the history of the
city's growth and development
during the past IS years.
Today the living lay the deae
to rest. With heavy hearts, low
