husband and father passed away. his de
mise being fastened by the prostratiou
caused by the sudden death of his son
Arthur, which occurred in April.
Mrs. Hooe was suffering from hear,
trouble, and the shock to her constitution
from the deaths of her son and HUSBAND
was too heavy for her to bear and after ;
critical illness of several weeks she en-
tered into rest The deepest sympathy i.
felt for the daughter and two sons wht
survive.
The funeral took place on Wcdnesda,
from her late home, being conducted b,

anniversary of the creation of the |. S.
flag by the Continental Congress, June
18th, III At first the flag comprised
thirteen stripes and thirteen stars, and it
50 remained until the year 1913. The'war

@ " s when @

the effect that the preseryers on the Port-
land were those which are accepted by
the government. That Is misleading to
many readers, and IL might appear that
the maritime branches of the government
had all come together and had decided
that various kinds of life preservers were
proper to be placed on passenger vessels.
OF course this is not so. As matter
of fact all life saving appliances, includ-
ing the preservers on passenger vessels
are authorized by one branch OF the
government only, which is the supervise
ing inspectors of the steamboat inspec-
tion service. They alone are responsible
for fitting out passenger vessels with
these articles and equipment. For my
own part, while not wishing to criticise
any other branch, believe that no pas
senger vessel should be permitted to go on
her route without the very best life
saving appliances and that of course,
means iife-saying jackets made Of cork,
no substitute. The government ought to
take measures to prevent side-wheel yes-
sells from going on runs where they ago
likely to be carried to sea. :"

There were many sticks of timber and
broken settees in the mass of wreckage,
but for the most part the piles consisted
of pieces of wood broken into stove
lengths. The whole beach, from the pier
to the foot of Grand avenue, opposite the
Camp Ground station, was strewn with
wreckage from the pavilion.
Forty-two of the tall iron posts sup
porting the pavilion and the outer end
of the pier were toppled over and hidden
from view by the turbulent sea. When
PRESS reporter visited the beach at
O'Clock this morning, the sea had sub
sided considerably and the tide was
partly out. but the big rollers were
climbing almost to the tops of the re-
maining outer pillars.
The bridge work had given way about
40 feet inside ths pavilion, and the part
broken off had disappeared below the SUR
face of the waves, but by standing on
the end of the pier it was possible to see
in the troughs between the rollers pieces
of the trestle work, swinging back and
forth.
An electric light pole near where the
two sections of the bridge work parted
company was leaning seawaTd. The roofs
of two of the small paviIions. which
were lifted Off by last Sundays gale,
were still on the pier, adding to its d1iap-
idated outline.
1t was at first supposed that the pa
yilion had been lifted from it's founda.
tions by the high seas, and when that
vent out it took along with it the miss
ing stretch of pier.s But a section of the
side Of wrecked schooner, which had
been brought in BY the tide and lay on
the beach close to the pier, seemed to
offer another explanation of the cause OF
the disaster.
| Whether that piece of wreck, weighing
about Is tons, was a part of the schoon
ar Grecian Bend, which had been fast in
the sand, beyond the Cleayes House, and
gradually breaking up. ever since last
snrinp. or whether it came from somt
unknown wreck, could not be positively
determined but most OF TIE yisiors al
the scene of disaster were OF the opinion
that the Greoian Bends side had beer
carried out by one tide and brought II
by the next. and that it had pounded
its way through the end OF the pier.
| -Four of the iron pillars nearest th'
piece of wrecked vessel were ohafod ant
two of them bent by its contact. Farthel
out another pillar was badly bent at Tn
coupling, undoubtedly by the same cause
Had that great junk of floating oal
