GERMANY continues to officially talk friendly to this government, but the news from Admiral Dewey shows that the acts of the German navy are far from being as friendly as the talk of the German government. Germany has assembled fleet of warships in Manila bay that is quite as strong i. not stroner than Admiral Dewey's fleet. Of course, this government must accept the claim of Germany that the only business of this fleet is the protec- tiOn of German citizens at Manila, un- til some act showing otherwise has been committed, but that is no reason why the administration should believe that claim made in good faith. There are less than fifty German citizens in
 Manila, and us long as Dewey is there
 their private interests and their per sons would receive the same protection given to Americans. Officials refuse to acknowledge that they entertain sus- picions of Germapy's intentions, or, in
 fact, to discuss at all the possibilities of German interference in the Philip pines. It is known, however, that Dewey has orders not to allow any for eign interference with the carrying out of his orders, and that Gen. Green, who is in command of the first detach- ment of Gen. Merits army, now on the ground and acting in concert with Dewey, has similar orders. Should the German fleet attempt to do anything not sanctioned by Dewey there would be bigger battle in Manila bay than the one which resulted in the destruc. tion of Spanish fleet. Dewey isn't the sort of man to be either bluffed or

 tronomy, Dr. T. J. See of Lowell Ob- servatory at Flagstaff, A. T., reviewed the atmospheres of various countries and of various sections of the United States from the astronomers stand point. According to Dr. See the sec tion in which Flagstaff is located pos sesses the astronomers ideal atmos- phere. The work which that Observa- tory has already accomplished demon- strates that his claim is not exagger- ated. Dr. See has given this atmos- pbere at Flagstaff the specific name of Arizona blue" It extends, he says, from the horizon to the zenith unbro- ken by single cloud. ''So blue is this sky" he adds, that we notice no ap- preciable whitening as we approach the sun or the horizon, which is free from dust and seldom obscured by a cloud, and, of course, never by haze or fog. I have never seen, in any part of the world, a more impressive scene than the Arizona sky when viewed through the beautiful pine forest which surrounds the observatory. The moon stands out sharply in the most beauti- ful silver light, and we can see with the naked eye as much detail of her mountains as one commonly sees else where with an ordinary opera glass" This supurb atmosphere, so eloquently described by Dr. See, is attributed by him to condition of meteorogical equilibrium produced by local inhu- ences and freedom from disturbing cur rents. With such an atmosphere there is nothing to be wondered at when Flagstaff Observatory outranks all oth- CT observatories in the country, for the time it has been in existence, in the field of astronomical discovery San Francisco Chronicle.
