While There.

Officers and members Of the marine
corps probably will not be troubled
greatly with ennui at their fer.away
post in the middle of the Paeido. The
novelty of life at the isola ted Ntkle,gov.
ernment station will keep them con
tented forseveral months. There will be
many things to see and hear. To guard
against discomfort and weariness o1
spirit the government will have care
for the amusement Of its servants prao-

communication with homo and coun-
try. OF course there Will be swim-
ming and boating, but tho sports
which the men enjoyed at home they
will also enjoy at the island Of Guam.

Will see that there is a supply Of balls

There will be men who do not care

q large stock Of books. In addition,
there are many thousand volumes Of

80 generous that Col. Pope now re-
quests that no more be sent to the

ENDING Up FLOOR BOARDS.
o.s Mans Way Of Haadri.e Them.
Apparently with some ssv.
in2 OF Strength.

1t Is common thing to see men pass-
ing floor boards right up the front Of
. building. Tho men on the ground
raises board 30 that its upper end
can be grasped by man standing at
the window Of the second story, who
now swings the lower end OF. 1t around
through the air and up within the
grasp OF . man standing at window
In tho story above. The third man In
turn swings it up to man at . win
dow in the story above him, and 80
the board goes in this way from the
ground to whatever story IL Is to be
taken In at says the New York Sun.
II takes muscle to lift the boards by
ono end In this way and swing them
up and 70 keep at 1t. Tho other day q
little variation In the method en-
paoyed, was observed In this city by
which the man on the ground managed
TO save himself q little. instead Of
fibting the dead weight Of each board
hs brought leverage to bear with his
shoulder for fulcrum. Tho load Of
boards had been slid of from the
truck In the street, not alongside the
curb but at right angles to II In tho
street. Tho ends Of the boards werv
toward the building and in front OF
IL. The man on the ground would pick
up board by the end and walk toward
tho building, holding IL, nnd then in-
stead OF facing the pile and fitting the
board BY sheer strength he would face
the building, and. lifting the board on
hia shoulder, would depress the for
ward end OF the board and SO swing
the other end up. It looked like an
easier way Of doing It than the dead
lift. II was possible only on the
ground. in front Of the building, where
there was room to move, and possible
TO advantage only with tho load thus
conveniently placed.

-.0 huO SIOp Dull0Llu.
Des Moines, Ia, June 6, '99.
The past week was warmer than
usual, the average daily tempera-
ture ranging from 4 to 8 degrees
above the normal. The humidity
of the air was excessive and fire.
quent showers added to the large
surplus of rainfall of the preced-
ing two weeks.
Tho northern section received
some of the heaviest showers,
which flooded the low lands and
damaged corntieIds on the slopes
in numerous localities. In all
parts of the state the amount of
moisture is excessive. These con.
ditions have not been favorable
for small grain crops, which are
likely to become too rank on all
rich and moist lands.
Some progress has been made
in planting corn in the southern
section where the work had been
previously delayed; but there is a
considerable area yet to be plant
ed If weather conditions in the
near future are moro favorable.
The acreage in that section is
likely to be materially reduced.
Much replanting has. been done
in all sections; and a fair start
has been made in cultivation
wherever the soil was dry enough,
The weather has been favorable
for new seeding of timothy and
clover, and for potatoes aud gar.
den truck generally.
