We never can think of our father
As lying asleep in the tomb;
Though over the place whore we laid him
The wild flowers will shed their perfum
We never can think that the fingers
70 busy for us every day,
Are now lying quietly folded,
Modering to ashes away.
The voice that made sweetest music
As he entered the opened door,
Is silent and now its sounding
Shall fall on our ears neYermore.
Oh, no, We believe in the presence
OF our dear one close by our side;
We can feel the thrill of his glance,
or eyes which once were our pride.
We believe he secs sll our actions,
And cares for our joys and pain;
That to him we are rs precious as ever 20
That soon we shall see him again.
The grave cannot hold fast our loved o.
Though we know that their bodies are .n'
We know that once more We shat me, % d..

and Grnin HnrycSts.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 25.-Information
received by the Examiner" from all parts
of the State in regard to the condition Of
the crops this season Indicates that very
good average of production will be main
tanned. From some sectors there have
come reports of failures. but not so ma
terial as to detract from what will evil
IDENTIFY be a standard of general excellence.
Frosts and late rains have in some cases
caused severe damage.
In the southern part of California the
yield of deciduous fruits will not be as
large as was expected. OF citrous fruit
there viii be an ample harvest. San
Degos supply of lemons will be double
what it was a year ago.
In the northern part of the State the
late ffosts were instrumental in slightly
damaging some Of the fruit, but the yield
will still be large.
The reports on grain are generally en-
couraging. the instances where failure Is
noted not being serious enough to make
any great difference in the supply. Alto
gether the prospect appears to be one OF
most satisfactory character.

of the serious trouble which she expert
enced the Brutus was riding at single
anchor off San Louis d Apri. Lieutenant
Hoff kept the vessel steaminR back and
forth to ease the anchor cables. At day
light it was found necessary to change po-
sition owing to the proximity OF dan

anchor failed to come up quickly, and the
steering gear ceased TO work. This
brought the Brutus around broadsiie to
the reef She grounded heavily. Seas
passed over the starboard side and there
was danger that she would capsize.
Lieutenant Hoff decided to abandon the
vessel while the tide was low, 1t being
impossible to do so at high tide. land

dragged along it to Cebris Island, whence
communication with shore was secured.

DESCENDING FROM THE SKY.
Little Danger and Much Pleasure in
II Parachute Drop.


Coming down from the clouds in para
chute is like a dream" said a circus bal
loon artist Ever dream of falling from
high place? You come down, alight
quietly. and awake. and you're not hurt
Well that's the parachute drop over again.
No there is no danger. A parachute can
be guided readily on the down trip, but
you can't steer balloon. To guide para
chute out Of harms way a practiced hand
can tilt it one way or the other. spill out
air, and thus work it TO where you want
to land, or to avoid water, trees, chimneys,
or church spires Circus ascensions are
generally made in the evening. When the
sun goes down the wind goes down. The
balloon then shoots into the air and the
parachute drops back on the circus lot, or
not far away.
a balloon is made Of four-cent muslin
and weighs about 500 pounds. A parachute
is made of eight-cent muslin. The rope
that secures the parachute is cut with a
knife. The aeronaut drops fully 100 feet
before the parachute begins to fill 1t must
fill. if you're up high enough. There are
several hundred parachute men in the
business. and the accidents are less In
ratio than railroad casualties. Our bust
ness is new at that. After a while the
ratio will be less. man can't shake out
a parachute If II doesn't open. A man
in the air is simply powerless. Invariably
the fall is head first. When the parachute
begins to fill the descent is less rapid. and
finally when the parachute has finally FILL
ed it bulges out with pop. Then the
aeronaut climbs on to his trapeze and
guides the parachute to a safe landing.
In seven cases out of ten you can land
back on the lot where you started from"
