citizens of Santa Monica: Early in our
sitting we were called upon to inquire
into the conduct of the campaign leading
up to and including the municipal cleo
ton, held at Santa Monica in April, 1896
While we are not prepared to cay that
the letter of the election laws was vio-
lated, the jury is convinced that the
spirit of the same was badly fractured
in the interest of two, at least, of the
successful candidates at said election.
THE police department OF said town
seems badly demoralized. owing to the
selection Of officers more in payment OF
election services than because of fitness
or qualifications"
RILEY ROASTED
In regard to S. V. Riley, county super
intendent of schools, the report says:
"Our examination has had to do largely
with the financial management OF the
office and the condition as we found it
is not satisfactory to us, nor do we think
it will be to the average taxpayer. Mr..
Riley, in addition to his salary of $4,000
per annum, Is by law allowed his actual
and necessary travelling expenses while
visiting schools The maximum Of this
additional allowance is fixed at $40 per
district. From business mans stand
point 1t would seem that this discretion
ary power over the public funds should
be exercised with due regard to the in
terests of the taxpayer and that a spirit
of economy should be manifest in the
use of public funds. We do not find such
to be the case, but on the other hand,
wherever chance is offered to make
charge, Mr. Riley has availed himself Of
it, charging an exorbitant price for the
use of his own horse and that of his
father-inlaw and thus imposing an un-
necessary expense on the county and an
expense for which we can find no justi-
fcation in law, or in the needs of the pub
lie service. On several of the claims

STRANGE EARTHQUAKE PHENOMENA.
startling Features That Have Been Noted
from Time 10 Time.

The earthquake is a terrible thing to
encounter. The "~quaking," the rend-
ing OF the earth's surface, and the other
incidental accomplishments Usually de-
scribed, are only a 1.-THE of the real ter
rors Of a seismic shock.
TO some the noise which precedes
the real shock is ,nore terror-inspiriug
than the quake" itself. Father Kircher
describes these s~ubterranean r~umblings
as "a horrid sound resembling that Of
an Infinite number of chariots driven
iiercely forward. mingled with the noise
OF cracking whips, neighing Of horses,
and the cries of victory and despair on
the part of the charioteers."
The sounds which preceded the great
Lisbon earthquake are said to have re-
sembled the "rumbling OF empty omni-
buses, chariots, aud barrels, the noise
increasing ia volume until it equaled
the noise Of a thousand cannons."
Another popularity is the gyratory
motion that is frequently impaired to
sections of earth of greater or less area.
AT Colares, in 1855. several stone houses
IN the lower quarter OF the city we're
turned completely round; this. too,
without rendering them ~uninhabitable.
Then, again, an earthquake is likely
to be attended with great atmospheric
disturbances, such as explosions, thun-
der and lightning, etc.
AT Miltittello there was an explosion
in the fog which. o~verhuDg the city for
several days before the great earth
quake. many houses having their roofs
and upper stories completely ruined as
the result hours before the shock which
completed the awful work of destruc-
ton.
In other instances queer-looking
clouds, in some instances not larger
than a good-sized balloon, will hang
over a spot threatened by au earth
quake for several days prior to the be-
ginning of the terrestrial disturbances.
This was the case in London ia the year
ll49, at Munster in 1912, at Lisbon, and
at Riobanda, South America.
At Dunstal all the water in the lake
stood up like a pyramid to the height
of 100 feet, and in several cases all the
water was thrown out of the wells.

porter IF he had run out of mermaids?"

Good Looks.

There are more wrinkles in the face
OF a baby monkey than there are in
that OF an old baboon. And speaking
OF wrinkles, more Of them can be
wrought out in a fair, young face by
neuralgia than will be found in that Of
an aged person. Constant pain will
shrivel. and neuralgia neglected will
piow its burrows deep. 1t not only
wrinkles, but takes the bloom away
and gives the skin a dull and yellow
look. st. Jacobs Oil is a prompt and
sure cure for neuralgia, and II should
be used, as while it soothes and cures,
II smooths out the tracks OF pain and
leaves the skin healthy and fair again:

torment and restores "A happier dispo-
sition. Good looks come only with good
health, and health IL found in the alb.

Philadelphia Record: The French gov
eminent, which some years ago started
special breeding stations for the raising Of
dromedaries In Aigiers, has every reason
to be thankful to the officers who FIRST sug-
gested the plan TO the government. The

psign in the Island OF Madagascar proved
how invaluable these animals are for the
transportation OF provisions, ammunition
and baggage acrosstpiains and mountains.
and even where there are no roads at all.
The dromedaries were found an indispens-
able auxiliary, and replaced to advantage
the arms of carriers or coolies employed
on previous occasions. Neither horses or
mules are able to stand even one-third OF
the ratigues and privations OF all kinds
which he dromedaries are able TO under
