the industry of herring dshing must

and fail of the year.
The fishermen will 60 before the
legislature this winter with bill
providing for change in the fish
laws. They Will ask that fishing be
allowed along the shore, where they
want TO seine onl y suckers, the can
uibal fish that eats up the spawn OF
the game fish that go to the mouth
of the rivers. Some of the most con-
sentative fishermen state that with
this change in the law approximate
ly 500 men would be employed al
most constantly in the fishing in
dustry. With penalty for taking
from the waters any game fish, the
Gazette believes this change would
be beneficial all around. The sucker

the laws aim to protect.

YALE: LUNGS AND TOBACCO,
Little Smoking and Mighty Chests
Among the University Freshmen

Little Smoking and Mighty Chests
Among the University Freshmen.
DR.. Jay w. Seaver, director Of the
Yale gymnasium at New Haven, has
Just completed the measurements of
the 600 paembers of the freshman class.
DR.. Seaver, according to the Philadel-
phia Press, says that 1905 has a greater
lung capacity than any previous Yale
class because fewer of it's members
smoke than any class at Yale in recent
years. He finds that the average lung
capacity of the class is 260 cubic inch
es. This is five inches more than the
lung capacity of last years class. The
number Of men using tobacco in the
present class is 10 per cent smaller
than usual. The average age of the
class is 10 years 1 month; average
weight, 134 pounds; average height, 5
feet rs inches; average size Of the
chest when inflated, $50 inches; aver
age measurement of the biceps, ia
inches.

bic. In order to do this the individual
should be laid quite fat the head on a
level with the body, SO that the feebly

blood upward. The neck and chest
should be exposed. fresh air admitted
freely, water sprinkled on the face and
stimulating vapors, such as ammonia,
held at intervals to the nostrils. When
there is difficulty in restoring ANNA

heart with the hand or rough cloth
should be applied vigorously.

NEW p. r. r. STATION.
Plan of Imposing Structure to De
Erected In New York.


More details Of the tentative plans
for the main terminal station in New
York to be used by the Pennsylvania
and Long Island railroads have just
been made public. In the building Of
the station the Quai d'Orsay station Of
the Orleans railway in Paris is to be
taken as a model, says the New York
Tribune. This is considered by many
persons to be one of the most attractive
buildings Of it's kind in the world. 1t
Is a part of the Orleans extension rail-
road, which runs through tunnels I'M
der the Seine. The terminal station
Of the tunnel system of the Pennsyl-
vania and Long Island railroad, how
ever, will be twice as large as the Quai
dOrsay station, will be equipped with
later devices for handling passengers,
trains and baggage and will, if the de-
sire Of its builders is realized, surpasss
in many ways it's architectural beauty.
There will be an information bureau
on the floor just above the tracks,
where questions relating to the depar-
ture and arrival Of trains, the trans
portation Of baggage, etc., will be an
swered. The guest will have only to
walk few feet from the main Office
OF the hotel to learn such facts, and he
will probably not even have to go to
the information bureau, as the clerks
Will likely be able to give him the de-
sired information.
"The Quai d'Orsay station" said
President Baldwin of the Long Island
Railroad company, will give you a
good idea Of what we are going to try
to do. Only bear in mind that our ter
minal station will be twice as large.
The Quai d'Orsay station, outside and
inside, has many decorative features"
Mr.. Baldwin then showed a pamphlet
containing a description of the Quai
d'Orsay station.
1t has six platforms. About nine
teen feet below the street level are the
tracks. The plans for the station to be
built in New York call for distance
of about thirty-six feet from the street
level to the tracks. There will be
space of about nineteen feet between
the track level and the first floor above
it, where the waiting. ticket, reading
and many other rooms will be. In the
Qaui d'Orsay station the platforms are
Independent Of one another and are
provided With & system of separate
signals. The plht sorms connect with
stairs leading to the ground floor. On
this floor are waiting and baggage
rooms. Baggage is shifted from room
to room or from room to platform by
means Of endless bands which are laid
over a series of wheels running from
one end of the station to the other.
The moving wheels keep the bands in
motion.

DISAPPEARING WRITING.

The Way "a Disy SyvanfDe WAS Succes&~
fully Worked In Paris.
A number Of Partisan fnanciers were
able sum Of money by a swindler who
relied for the success of his scheme en-
tirely upon the peculiar properties of
lOdide Of starch. Posing as a man OF
considerable wealth, whose money was
tied up In such a manner that he could
not realize without heavy losses and
pretending to have the option of some
valuable concessions in China, he OBJ
tanned various large amounts of money
in exchange for bills dated to stand
for three months.
No one for moment suspected that
there was anything in the least degree
shady about the man or his transac-
tons, and when he made it public that
he had been successful in selling lis
Chinese concession at large profit his
creditors felt absolutely certain that
be would meet his bills.
To their immense surprise, however,
when they came to look through their
papers to find the bills they only found
bills with blank spaces in the places
where the swindlers name should have
been and had actually been. They
clamored round him for an explanation
of the strange affair, but he denied that
be had ever given any of them bills and
defied them to sue him for repayment
Of the loans, and the fact that the bills
were devoid Of the swindler's sigma
ture rendered them absolutely worth
less
The matter was put into the hands Of
the police, who were able to discover
that in signing the bills the man had
used a solution Of iodide of starch,
which, when first used for writing, ap-
pears much the same as ordinary ink,
but completely disappears in the course
Of few weeks, and, although traces
of the chemical may subsequently be
discovered, nothing can make the writ.
ing show up again. Finding that his
victims had discovered his method, the
schemer decamped, despite the fact
that the chances Of the police obtain
ing conviction against him were very
remote indeed.

EDWARDS. STATE, LANDAU.
Handsome Carriage Designed For
English Kings Coronation.

Handsome Carriage DesiGued For
English Kings Coronation.
Some particulars will be interesting
as to the new state carriage which
King Edward is having built for the
coronation. It will be what is known
as "a state landau" but a state landau
on a grand scale, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser. 1t will be un-
usually high. very massive in build,
with carved decorations, and altogeth-
er a uniquely handsome carriage. The
kings idea, as is understood, is to use
1t when he drives through London the
day after the coronation. In going to
Westrni~ ster abbey he will use the old
state coach, but for the parade through
London it would be unsuitable in that
it cannot be opened. The new carriage
will be open, although it can on occa-
sion be closed, and so the crowds in
the streets will see the king and queen
well. 1t will be drawn by eight of the
famous cream colored horses which
belong to the royal stables.
The statement that the carriage will
be 'lined with pink" is not likely to
prove accurate. although that question
has not yet been reached. The king
has seen and approved a sketch of
what the carriage will be like, but for
the rest it is only in the making. The
chances are, however. that it will be
lined with dark crimson to match the
old state coach. Claret and vermiIion
are the royal colors for carriage deco.
ration. and this one will be so painted,
with bands and devices Of gold in re.
lief. Some, at least, of the metal work
will be gold plated, but even so the
landau will not cost anything like the
$4,000 which the historic state coach
is believed to have cost.

PORTLAND THE ROSE CITY.
Novel Idea Suggested For the Lewis
and Clark Exposition.

Frederick Y. Holman. the we'll
known lawyer and amateur rose grow
er, suggests that every Portlander who
has a home should plant roses in antic-
ipation of the Lewis and Clark centen-
Mai celebration, says the Portland Or.
egonian. He names a score Of varie-
ties specially adapted to Portland's eli.
mate which are certain to bloom pro
fusoly from May to December, the
probable period of the proposed fair
Mr.. Holman is no theorist ID the mat
ter Of growing roses: therefore his ad-
vice has practical value. The planting
should be done next spring, SO that the
young bushes shall have three years
growth by the time the centennial
comes around.
