Curious fIfrd uabftsE

Ii is well-known fact that if the young of almost any kind of bird are taken from the nest before they can fly, the old ones will feed them most attentively If the cage in which the little birds are inclosed is placed some where where the parents can reach 1t; and 2 popular but erroneous belief is current that they do this for time, and end by poisoning the young ones. This. however. is a mistake. the fact being that at certain stage of a young birds existence, when it is nat urally able 10 begin catering for itself, the parent birds, also quite naturally, cease to attend it, and then. if the birdlings are shut up in the cage and their custodian has not thought of placing some food at their disposal. they necessarily die. not from poison administered by the parents, but from stsrying-Pall Mall Magazine.

 have shot at looms . great many times on the lakes Of northern Wis consin, and on Lake Superior, and have never known them to attempt to escape from danger unless there was wind of which they could take ad- vantage in their attempts to rise states contributor. l remember once. in company with my brother, trying to secure a loon as 8 specimen for mount ing. The bird was in a lake about three-fourths of a mile long and about 200 yards wide in it's narrowest part, My brother was seereted at one end of the lake. and I in a canoe kept the bird in motion, trying to get it within range of my brothers gun, and giving Fit a chance whenever chance offered. Although harried for two or three hours it never once attempted to rise from the water. There was slight breeze, if mistake not, but not enough to be of any use in the looms attempt to escape by flight During the chase the loon swan a distance of POO yards or more under water, repeatedly, with put appearing above the surface. Lake Superior fishermen tell me they have caught them in their nets at great depths. Among those with whom I have talked on the subject 1t is be- lieved that loon cannot rise from the water without the aid of wind blow Ing directly opposite to the line of Eight.
 Magnetic Disturbances In Russia.
 The Russian province of Kursk proves to be one of the most remarka- ble areas of magnetic disturbances yet known. MT. Moureaux reports that the differences between theory and obser- vation are so great that it is not pos sible to draw isomagnetic lines, and the magnetic force is as great as it would be in the immediate vicinity of the magnetic poles. The dip of the needle ranges from AS to 79 degrees. At two points, about 450 yards apart, the declinations are minus Il degrees and plus 45 degrees. and the variation at two places about a mile and quar- ter apart is from minus 34 degrees to plus 96 degrees. Nothing near the sur- face to cause these anomalies is known to exist.

The Sound Oyster.

Fish Commissioners Little is of the
opinion that the Eastern oysters will
never displace the Sound oyster in the
markets in this state. Interview he said
that the average Fastener coming to
this state after time prefers the Olym-
pia oyster to the variety he formerly
liked.
Some discussion has been aroused in
Sound and local fishing circles regard
ing the active preparations being made
at various points in the Sound waters
to propagate the Eastern oysters.
Some argued that the success of this
scheme meant the gradual displacement
of the original Sound oyster by its
larger relative from the East. Mr.. Little
states that the Eastern oysters being
the larger are necessarily grown in
deeper waters, while the Sound oysters
are grown on the flats. He believes
that by culling out the largest oysters
from the newly created bed OF Eastern.
ers every time. and placing them in 8
separate bed, much larger and more
luscious variety can be secured Seat

Spray for Goblin Moth.

Before it is too late, I wish to call
the attention of those fruit growers
whose orchards were infested last
year with the eodlin moth, that the
time is fast approaching when we
must spray against this pest.
AS stated some time ago, the best
time to spray is just after the petals
have fallen from the blossom and
before the calix lobes close up the cup.
AS most of the worms enter the
apple through calix cup it is of the
utmost Importance that some of the
poisonous spray mixture be left there.
The Bordeaux mixture, with the
addition of pound of Paris green, is
the most generally used spray. Spray
thoroughly, and if it should rain short
ly after the work has been done, &C
over the orchard again in week. The
same mixture can be used as proven
tive OF apple scab, if used two or three
three times at intervals of two weeks

ANY Party, Lord.

Governor Rogers has announced his
candidacy for denomination. He evil
IDENTIFY does not propose to miss any OF
the pie by being late official banquet.
It is still at least Is months before the
state nominating conventions will be
held. This display of haste in getting
into the cock-pits before any of the
other roosters are in sight is rather
amusing.
But the great expedition of the ex-
ecutive isn't the only funny feature of
his declaration of intention. The old
man has jumped into the ring, but he
fails to name it. He says it is his in
tention to be candidate for the nomi-

Progress on the Port Angeles Eastern.

Superintendent of Construction Will
liam Martell, left early in the week
with force of engineers on a recon
noiterlng expedition with the purpose
in view of discovering pass through
a mountain which is situated near the
head of Discovery bay. Should he be
successful in discovering a feasible
outlet it will obviate four mile loop
around the mountain. Approximate
ly the distance between Port Angeles
and Olympia of the purposed route OF
the Port Angeles Eastesn Railway will
be LII miles. II Mr. Martell succeeds
in finding accessible pass it will r'duce
this at least four miles, thus n,..king
Port Angeles only removed107a miles
from Olympia. And doubtless the
locating engineers maydiscover other
changes in the adoption of which the
route may be further reduced until it
can be brought with the 100 mile
limit. ~
COMMERCIAL WORLD STILL sPECULATING.
The Seattle Daily Times in recent
issuance INDUCES a bit of friendly
speculation regarding the Port Angeles
Eastern Railroad. In fact the COM
mercial world is agog with curious in
terest involving of course the actual
status OF the enterprise. The substan-
tial evidences of actual railroad build
ing very convincingly assures the sue
cess of TIE undertaking, and the
admission of the fact is followed with
a pertinent, searching inquiry as to
what trans continental system is real
ly backing the enterprise. This lively
interest is the subject of genuine APP
probation on the part of the citizens
of Port Angeles. Could anything be
more gratifying than to realize that
the commercial world fully recognizes
that the the industrial development
Of the Olympic peninsula is actively
in substantial progress?
The Times says: "The activity of
the transcontinenta railroads in get
ting to work in Western Washington
indicates that they expect good sized
immigration movement in the near
future. At present-the hackers Of the
Port Angeles Eastern are the subject
of speculation. The building of that
road would mean much toward the
development Of the great Olympic
peninsula. This section of the state
contains some of the best agricultural
and timbered lands west of the Cas-.
cade mountains. 1t will be attracting
capital very soon. It is now reasona-
bly, sure that the road will extend from
Port Angeles to Olympia, but with
what transcontinental road it will
then connect is the subject that il
pulling the guessers "Uncle Coils
of the Southern Pacific has long hac
his eye turned toward the Straits o.
Fuca, and it need not surprise anyone
to hear that is backing the present en-
terprise."

On a Broader Scope.

A letter in down Sound paper from
James G Swan, of Port Townsend,
contains information of inter est to
Western Washington. Mr.. Swans
statements are direct, although what
his authority is he does not state. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Swan the plans of the
Port Angeles Eastern are considerably
broader than what the company Of
ficials give out, if followed to reason.
able conclusion they may not be SC
far out of the way. Among other
matters touched on by Mr.. Swan
are the following:
IL have recently received information
regarding movements of the eastern
capitalists connectd with an enterprise
which is of great interest to every
resident in western Washington.
"The plan as outlined to me is moth
ing less than the devel opment of the
whole of Western Washington, and fol-
this purpose the combine will frs,
build the road now already commenced
from Port Angeles through the rich
lands of Clallum county, through
Dungeness and Sequim, to the head q
Port Discovery, and at Jun ction City
will connect with the Port Townsend
Southern to Quilcene and continuing
along the west side of Hoods canal t6
Union City, and from there either te
Olympia by the route already survey
ed or continue direct to Vancouver
and there to cross the Columbia or
the gigantic bridge, the material fol
which construction has been ready on
the spot for several years; and thence
to Portland to connect with the grea
continental lines to the Atlantic cities
and also 10 connect with the Southern
Pacific to California. The compan,
also propose to construct line from
Port Angeles to Grey's Harbor and
thence to the Columbia river. Glanc,
at the map of western Washington
will show not only the feasibility O
the plan, also the fact that by thi
scheme the company can have TIL,
control of the approaches to the grea
peninsula from the east, and also O
the approach to the harbor on th
Pacific coast, Gray's harbor, Shoal

dar timber for which the peninsula
