Plan TO Facilitate Accuracy In Naval
Practice by Use OF old Monitor.
WASHINGTON. June S,--Considera,
BILE interest Is being taken In naval
circles In a plan 10 authorize the North
Atlantic squadron to use one Of the
Civil War monitors as target for the
rapid fire guns OF Admiral Farquhar's
vessels.
This practice would. naval experts
say. supplement the Information gain
ed by the British navy from the prae-
tlce OF the battleshlp Majestic on the
old turret shin Belle Isle. built 20
years ago. The Belle Isle was put In
condition for action without. however,
a crew aboard, and the Majestic
opened fire, The firing lasted nine
minutes. In six minutes the vessel was
In ilames and an examination Of the
ship showed she was wreck Inside
and was simply riddled with shell.
Naval officers say that the British will
make several Important changes In
naval practice as result Of the Belle
Isle experiment, and they are hoping
that the department win decide TO
authorize the equipment Of one OF the
old monitors and the nse Of her a. a
target for the Kearsarge or New York.
The monitors are Of very little value
and the loss would consequently not be
great while the Information that could
be obtained will be OF great value.

F1sHERMENs FRIEND.
Preservation Which Reduces Decay OF
Nets. Selns. Ropes and Can
vas Ninety Per cent.

When to the hazard OF losing his life
ard property through the perils OF the
sea. to which the Columbia river fish
erman is constantly exposed. is ad-
ded the rapid decay OF his nets, selns,
tarpaulines. canvas. etc, from mlldew
ard decay. 1t may safely be said OF
him that his lot is not a happy one"
Fortunately the deterioration OF
these articles can be arrested and con-
se1uent losses reduced to a minimum.
Many preservatlves have been tried
In the past but II remained for a Ger
man chemist with practical ideas to
discover the boon so earnestly sought.
So far as experience goes, as shown
by the testimonials OF representative
fishermen from the fishing grounds Of
Europe and America, the only sure
preparation for the preservation OF
nets. selns. tarpaullns and ropes from
the ravages OF alternate land and wa
ter exposure is the celebrated German
discovery Ayenhrfus carbolineum. This
remarkable compound renders rot and
decay impossible. through It's antlsep-
tic qualities, and tackle treated re-
qulres replacement only when its use
fulness Is impaired by actual wear
and tear. This represents a saving to
the fishermen Of ninety per cent Of their
loss.
Avenarius Carbollneum renders rope
canvas, etc, pllable and prevents freez-
ing or stiffening in the severest wealth
er, thus safe guarding the property OF
the Columbia river fishermen not only
during active use but also during the
Inactive winter season when the ef-
facing fingers Of decay work sad ha-
voc with his outfit, and spring con-
fronts him with mortgage on his
future earnings in the shape OF re-
pair bill.
From an economic standpoint Aven-
arius Carbolineum makes strong ap-
long way and the results Of a single
treatment surprise and delight the in
credulous Dipping or coating tackle,
ropes or canvass is all that is required
and the article treated is ready for
immediate use.
When the compound is in general use
on the Columbia, as 1t will be when
it's merits are ascertained, thousands
OF dollars will be saved by a class Of
workers whose ardous and danger
ous pursuit entities them TO the full
est recompense It can be made to
yield.
Fisher, Thorsen & Co., Of Portland
Oregon, are tho Pacific coast agents
for Avenaflus Chrbolineum, and It can
be procured at Fisher Bros, Foard &
Stokes and B. F, Allen Of Astoria.

SUMMER RESORTS.

ITO the mountains our people In In
creasing numbers yearly look for those
days Of relaxation and recreation nee
essary to maintain the human ma
chine in fair working condition. The
languorous sloth Of the seashore proves
very seductive while II lasts. but
many have decided that the an
nual outing should provide not only
radical change OF air and surround
ings, but also such stimulation Of
tagging energies as will provide Drawn
and yigor for the return to labor. For
this they urge the mountain climb and
ramble, the balsam Of the mountain
pines. and the clear. unadultorated
mountain air.
In this direction the Shasta Route
now affords a wealth of attractions
The entire line Of road from Ashland
to Reddlng is studded with charming
and accessible hotels and camps. where
are cheer and comfort and healing at
reasonable cost, and where you can
hunt. fish. ride. loaf. or play with
equal facility.
"or II you look for healing waters,
none better can be found, hot or cold,
than the springs Of Ashland. Colestln,
Anderson, Bartlett. Byron and Paso
Robles. rcit ,f-u.l..
Before visiting Europe, the people Of
the Northwest should see the glorles
Of Yosemite valley, and the wondrous
groves Of .Marlposa and CaIavefas;
the Parisians are likely TO make In
quirfes concerning these attractive re-
sorts"

Of q school. He seemed able to con-
vince the school board that he possessed

unmarried. So he came back rather
woe-begone. Shortly after. it was OBJ

dyouT let me have my say
For the music that the band plays,
evenin's on the square.
The band concert is composite OF
many things. 1t is easy to call it q
musical event, but after that lie said
classification Of its various shsdings il
not so easy. Music is the magnet. but
not the only one; and to some faithful
attendants it is apparently not the prin-
cipsl part Of the program. So the band
concert partakes Of tho nature OF q
campmeeting. neighborhood reunion,
a sparkling club, a country hoe-down, q
ladies' sewing club,-minus the sewing,
and a meeting Of the faithful at Elev-
enth and o. In short, it is just an or
binary gathering Of gregarious human
. beings. with nothing particular to do
except wear out time. 1t is place to
meet an old acquaintance whose path
has not crossed yours for years. and q
place to study strange faces and read
characters.
Let US be thankful that with all it's
various characters the band concert is
not political meeting; there is no cram
ing Of necks to see the great ones ges-
ticulate while trying to send their voices
out to the edge Of attention; there is no
kissing and hooting on the part Of the
audience; no bumptious panegyrics of
sophomore orators. But even if the
audience is not 30 still as it should be,
it cannot drown out the melody, and the
players preach silent gospel Of beauty,
which may have as much to do with
saving the nation as the BUSTING of an
Office holder now and then.
The band concert is good place for
flirtations. l witnessed a scene the
other evening that led me to reflect.
This may have been q case Of true love
at first sight. Anyhow. the parties con-
cerned were only between two and three
years Of age. 90 no great harm was done.
Infant No. espied No. 2 at distance
sitting in her buggy; and before papa
knew what was happening, the young
hopeful was there by the baby in the
buggy, patting her cheek, smiling. and
getting acquainted in true baby fashion.
Papa followed and made the acquaint-
ance Of the other papa. Then every
body around there looked pleasant. as If
sitting for q picture. and by'm-bye the
other papa enticed infant No. away.
Curtain on this scene. Any romancer
who wishes may have this as starter
for a two volume-I draw the line at
two-novel.
One sees just about the same faces
every evening as be threads his way
through the crowd. Perhaps there is q
capitol grounds attendance and another
set of worshippers when the band plays
on the square. But il you attend at
one place regularly you will soon feel at
home. You see it gets to be habit
