British Oacer Inspects Columbia River
Forts.


Fort Stevens, Or, Aug. l5.-The
officer in charge at this post received
on August dispatch from the secre-
taTy OF war ordering him to meet at
Astoria Colonel Lee, military attache
1f the British government, convey him
to and show him through the fortiica-
itons at the mouth of the Colum Dia.
In obedience to this order, the govern
ment transport George II. Wendell was
promptly dispatched to Astoria. and,
returning. landed Colonel Lee and his
escort at Fort Stevens early on the day
mentioned Later. accompanied by
the officers of this post, Colonel Lee
went through the Notifications recently
completed, both on the Oregon and
Washington shores, the latter at Scar
borough head, now officially known as
Font Columbia. and the former consti-
tuting the new defenses several hum
ired yards west of old Fort Stevens.
With his visit to these Notifications,
Colonel Lee completed the inspection
Of all Of the principal coast defenses
OF the United States. except those AZ
the Presidio, where he went direct from
here, and which he has doubtless in
spected before this time. He paid a
very high compliment to the work
here, both as to the engineering and
constructive skill displayed, and was
no doubt duly impressed with the power
of the formidable disappearing guns
mounted behind and within the solid
walls OF masonry to command the en-
trance Of the Columbia river.
Whether he will make any use OF
the information thus specifically gained,
for the benefit of his country, depends
upon the always possible event of war.
1t is certain that he is supplied with
sufficient data to make such informa-
tion OF great value in such contin.

ach; that there was no outward bleed
ing and that the physicians believe that

Ghurkns and FLYING FI.h.

Three men of the Fifth Ghurkas
were trained by experienced Swiss
guides-one with Lieutenant Bruce in
the early '90s, and the others with Sir
Martin Conway in 1894. Good-tem-
pered, cheerful. keen and full Of fun,
they became general favorites wherever
they went. They, on their part.
thoroughly appreciated the kindness
with which they were treated, and
their wonderful and delightful expeI-
fences in Europe still afford an end
less topic of conversation. The little
Hmalayans were intensely interested
in everything they saw, the sea and
the ships proving a source Of delight.
Flying fish, however, they could not
at all understand. To such great
weildeIs of the rod this mode of piscine
locomotion seemed most improper.
One of these fish having fallen on board
of the ship, was Immediately pounced
upon by Karbir and Amar Sing. Be-
ing asked what their friends in the reg
iment would think when told that fish
could fly, the Ghurkas naively replied
that they hadn't the slightest inten-
tiOn of mentioning the fact, as their
regulations for veracity were at pres
ent good, and. should they try their
comrades credulity with this travel
ers' tale, no one would believe word
they might say for the rest of their

Protect Our Food.

The doctors inform US that alum is
poison, and that alum baking powders
should be avoided because they make
the food unwholesome. Prominent
hygienists, who have given the matter
most study. regard these powders as
an evil that should be suppressed by
state action. In Minnesota and Wis
consin alum powders are not permitted
to be sold unless they are branded to
warn consumers OF their true character,
while in the District of Columbia the
authorities have under the direction Of
congress, adopted regulations to pro-
hibit the use of alum in bread alto
gether.
Are not the people Of other states, as
we'll as those OF Minnesota and Wis
consin, entitled to warning OF a danger
which is apparently menacing them at
close hand, and is not the whole coun-
try entitled 70 absolute protection, as
the people OF the District of Colum bia
are protected, by legislation which is
entirely prohlbitiveI
Until we can have protection in the
form of statute. how can our state
boards OF health, state analysts or food
commissions better serve the public
than by publishing in the newspapers
from time to time the names Of the
baking powders which they find to be
made from alum?
Meantime, it will aid the housewife
in designating the alum powders to re-
member that all powders sold at twen-
ty-five cents OF less per pound are of
this dangerous class. Pure cream Of
tartar powders are usually sold at
from foGty-five to fifty cents pound.
