The churches through their delegates
gathered in conventions at various
points are taking advanced ground on
the subject of divorce and the remar-
riage of divorced persons. AS an evil
dence of good intentions on the part of
the church such action is commend
able but much will remain for the
laity and society in general to do.
Nothing would tend so greatly to put
a check on the remarriage of divorced
persons as the refusal of the set of
those persons to recognize them. The
stony stare of ones friends and neigh
bors. few are willing to court. A les
SEEMING of the number of remarriag es
of divorced persons would certainly be
followed by a reduction in the output
of the divorce courts.

Peculiar Phenomenon on Pacific Coast
Results in Damage to
Shipping.

Los Angeles. Cal, Sept. S.-From
many points along the southern coast
came reports of damage ry great bill
lows which are rolling in from the sea,
occasiOned by some peculiar phenOme-
non. possibly a volcanic disturbance
far out in the ocean. While there is
scarcely a capful of wind. enormous
waves, in some instances 40 feet high,
roll ceaselessly against the shores.
Word comes that the wharf at HUen-
eme is doomed to total destruction.
At Terminal Island the sea has
wrought considerable havoc, and hun
dreds of men are at work piling up
sacks of sank to form breakwaters.
Several cottages are inundated. At
Long Beach and at Ocean Park the
pleasure wharves have been much
damaged and no one is permitted to
go on them. N
The heavy seas have been running
for several days, but are higher than
before and more damage may be done.

Observation-Disclosures
Fruit Becomes a Nuisance in Imperial
Valley, California.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. S.-The I'M
perial valley is suffering from a plague
of watermelOns. The domestic melon
has escaped and is running wild over
the ranches. the rank vines choking
out wheat barley and other crops,
causing heavy losses on the great
ranches
When the Imperial canal brought
water three years ago to a vast area
of desert country some of the ranches
planted small patches of melons for
family use. The seeds of these melons
were scattered wide by flooding the
lands in the process of irrigation, and
they took root and bore fruit, most
of which rOtted on the vines, leaving
large quantities of new seeds to float
away 70 new territory.
The melons have gone back TO the
wild state. While retaining the color
and markings of the domestic melons,
they have become the little wild fruit
from which the domestic melon was
first bred. ranging in size from an
.apple to COcOanut.
Though exceedingly small, these wild
melons are red, juicy and sweet as
honey, eXcelling. if possible, the flavor
.of the garden melon. Bands of Yuma,
Seri and Cocopah Indians have en-
upon the melons. They do not destroy
the vines, but rather spread the plague
by spreading the seed.
