Heights of Ocean Waves.

II is calculated, as the result OF ac-
curate study, that in strong wind
waves may have length of two hun
dred and sixty feet. with speed Of
about three hundred and sixty feet to
a second. Waves four hundred feet
long, with a speed of twenty-eight nau-
teal miles per hour, are produced only
in heavy storms. Waves may, accord
ing to this calculation, rise six hundred
feet in fifteen seconds. 1t is claimed
that waves more than sixty feet high
are exceptional; that the average is
very much less than fifty. In ordinary
trade winds, the height of the waves is
from FIVE to six feet.

MANY TRICK
Worked by the Thirsty to Get Theh
Drinks Free.

There is a man in town who has
taken drink at the expense of 5O or
more saloon keepers in the city. Here
is his scheme: He dresses like team
ster and carries a long whip in his
hand. Walking up to bar OF a saloon
he says: please pour me a drink OF
whisky. l have a team out here I've
got to watch" While the unsuspect-
ing bartender pours out the drink the
man rushes TO the door and shouts
"woah" in a loud voice. Then he runs
back to the bar, gulps down the whisky
and runs to the door again shouting
"woah" in a loud voice. He stands III
the doorway minute and then goes
cut quickly. The bartender waits until
he thinks the man has had plenty OF
time to take care of The horses. Then
he goes out to see what has happened
to the teamster. Certainly the team
ster is gone. Here is another scheme
that a thirsty man is working with

NEW COUNTY OFFICERS.
"wbo win Re 'he Deputies ?" Is the Ques-
tion Asked These Days.

There Is considerable speculation as
to who viii be the deputies of the var
ious county officers when the latter
are sworn in. The Citizen has discov-
cred that there will be very few, II
any. changes. Col. e. c. Newcomer
will still officiate as Sheriff Hubbelis
chief deputy. and the county jailer
will remain as now. School Superin-
tendent Hubbeil will have no deputy
for the time being. and II Ia understood
that Alexandra Sandoval. the newly
elected assessor. will. like his retiring
brother. Jesus NJ. Sandoval. retain as
his deputy III. 3. Knight. who under
stands the business thoroughly. Pro-
bate cerk. j. A. Summers desires no
change whatever In his force. Collec-
tor and treasurer, Chas. X. Newhall.
has not decided on his deputy: he has
the names OF several good accountants
under consideration. and will doubtless
decide on the lucky deputy by Monday.
The new commissioners after January
LIST will be E. A. Miera, Joseph l.. Mil
Ter and r. w. Hopkins.
