TUES DAZ
Nine Years in the Sand. =.
From the Toledo Leader

From the Toledo Leader:
Last Saturday one OF the boilers out of
the wreck OF the old Yaquina City. that
had been lying in the sands of South
Beach about ten years was taken ou
over the Corvallis & Eastern. This boil
er was huge one, OCCUPYING the whole OF
one fiat car, and was wider and higher
than the ordinary box car. In passing
through the tunnels on the way out only
a small margin OF space was left on each
side, and it took some careful work OF
the train men TO get it through safely.
This boiler lay imbedded in the sands OF
South Beach for some nine or ten years,
and by many was supposed to be utterly
worthless, but Henry Wulf, OF Yaquina,
had an idea that it might be recovered,
and after considerable work it was res
cued from its sandy bed about year
ago after careful inspection it was pro.
nounced to be almost as good as ever,
Mr.. Wulf shipped it to Seattle, where he
has buyer for it.

PLUGGING THE PIANO.
MIR. GozzIeby Finds Temporary Relief
from the Heavy Pedal by
Simple Means.

at is a familiar fact" said Mr.. Gozzleby,
cor it is fact at least familiar to all fond
parents, that children, without exception,
like to play the piano with the hard pedal
on all the time. All children like to make all
the noise they can, in playing the piano as in
everything else. Playing upon the piano
without the heavy pedal does not disturb me
at all; but the minute the heavy pedal is put
on | am greatly disturbed and the continued
resoundng of the notes fairly racks me.
"Of course, l can't be forever saying don't,
and it's ungracious to say it at all, | suppose,
for why shouldn't the children have their
fun? And so | hit upon the desperate ex-
pedient of blocking the heavy pedal. l have
whitfield out nice little piece of soft white
pine into plug that just fits into the space
under the pedal in the opening in which it
works.. so that the pedal cannot be de-
pressed.
at has only been there two days now, but
it has been two days of blessed relief 1t
can't last much longer, because the children
are liable to ask me any minute what's the
matter-I wonder they haven't asked me
long ago-and of course I'll have to tell 'em.
but | am grateful for the rest have had, and
the respite has given me strength the better
to withstand, for time at least, the uproar
that will surely come when the children dis
cover the plug IN. Y. Sun.
