known as the "admiraly allowance" for
tidal variations, and is placed in the
record at 81 minutes, or 0.s3 feet. which
fixes the actual low-water stage in the

bia river bar, at S:l3 O'Clock on the
morning of Sunday, October 20, 1905, at
exactly 20.41 feet, or 0.53 feet less than
the pilots themselves have claimed for
it.
The Government engineers have es.
tablished the low-water maximum at
l6 feet above zero, and, in order to
furher put the task of yesterday beyond
dispute. Captain c. H. Gunderson, of the
Bar Pilots association, was sent to Fort
Stevens to take careful reading of the
tide -guages there while the Tatoosh was
crossing the bar, in order to check up
the flood rise in the hour involved, and
his readings, taken every ten minutes,
tinstead of every Is minutes as fol.
lowed by the Government experts therel
show the following times and volume
of flood:
At $50 a. m. 0.S feet above zero
At 500 a. IN. 10 feet above zero.
At $40 a. m. III feet above zero
At 500 a. m. IL feet above zero
At $3.50 a. m. l.5 feet above zero
At $40 a. m. Is feet above zero
At $3.50 a. m. 2.l feet above zero
Taking the fairest average this table
affords, it will indicate that the allow
ance of IL feet for the hour and ten
minutes food run on the bar at the
time the soundings were taken, is alb
solutely just.
The foregoing is full. careful, and
correct report of the mornings work in
this behalf and certainly should have |
place in the consideration of interest
ed people who are after actual, prac.
tical facts, ascertained under practical |
by practical men, but, de- |
spite this reasonable hope, there is little |
to be expected from Portland but con-
derision and lying refuta-
ton ~ Of every statement made here,
the very fact that the Ia
toosh made the trip. However it may be
treated, the main fact will live on, un-
til cured by nature, or by the enter
prise of man and that is, there are but
twenty-one feet of water, at low tide
stages, on the Columbia river bar, un-
der the best Of atmospheric and sea
and not twenty-four feet as
reported by the Government engineers.

The object of the trip was to take

of time was augmented by conditions
of wind and sea equally favorable.
There was not breath OF wind and
the sea on the bar was as smooth a. a
pan of milk on pantry shelf.
The Tatoosh steamed swiftly down
the bay and was soon close upon the
coast margin of the bar. Captain Bail
ey was at the wheel himself and as he
put her under slow bell in the chan
mel, Pilot Staples manned leadline on
the starboard side and just at the forward
break of her housing, with Commission
er Pendleton at his elbow, while Pilot
leighton took an identical position to
port with Commissioner Noland at
hand for oversight. and at the very edge
of sounding grounds, both leads were
put in action, with First Mate Swanson,
of the Tatoosh, one of the finest leads

the two, to note the calls, and confirm

'Tn 1890 I began to drink coffee.
 "At that time I was healthy and en- loved life. At first l noticed no pao effects from the indulgence but In course of time found that various troubles were coming upon me.
 "Palpitation of the heart took unto itself sick and nervous headaches. kid- ney troubles followed and eventually my stomach became so deranged that even a light meal caused me serious distress.
 Our physicians prescriptions failed to help me and then I dosed myself with patent medicines till I was thor ough1y disgusted and hopeless.
 Finally I began to suspect that cof- fee was the cause of my troubles. experimented by leaving 1t off, except for one small cup at breakfast. This helped some but did not altogether re- lieve my distress. It satisfied me, how ever. that I was on the right track.
 50 I gave up the old kind of cof- fee altogether and began to use Pos tum Food Coffee. In 10 days I found myself greatly improved. my nerves steady, my head clear. my kidneys working better and better. my hearts action rapidly improving, my appetite improved and the ability to eat a hearty meal without subsequent sui fering restored to me. And this con dition remains.

 In this open letter to a group of girls who have confided in me. am going to put some bits of practical advice for ell the schoolgirls who make beautiful our streets as they hurry on. to be in their places before 9 o'clock in the morning.
 ' There are many thousands of you. dear girls who are the pride and joy of the homes you come from. like to catch the inspiration of your bright to watch the lightness of your feet as you fit along over the country roads or village pavements. or the thronged av- enues of our great towns. In some ways you girls are very much alike; in some others you are different But there is not one of you who can afford to pass by my counsel that you shall become an all-around scholar.
 Did hear dark eyed Dorothy saying T wonder what that meansT Let me explain.
 If were you would put the accent, the emphasis, of all my school work on the strong word
 Endeavor.
 would endeavor everywhere and at all times to do my best. It might be that my best should be less brilliant than the best of some other girl, but for that I should not care. We are never required to use other peoples tal- ents We are responsible only for the use we make of our own. Faithful dil- igept work, done over and over every day, in the schoolroom, amounts to a great deal more at the end of the year than an occasional spurt in which we make a great advance and after which we fall back into incidence and do al- most nothing.
 I have seen a girl, and a very nice girl. too, throw her algebra across a room in a fit of despair. declaring that she never could understand it and that she had decided 1t wasn't worth while any longer to try. I have seen a girl almost in tears over her composition, affirming that she hadn't a thought in her head and wouldn't know how to express 1t If she had. I have even known girls whose spelling was atro- stated that correct spelling was beyond them an dthat their gifts lay in some other direction.
 mention no names, but every teacher has names on her roll over which she frowns and sighs. knowing that they stand for pupils who are quite contented with sec ond-best or third-best marks, and whose rating is away down at D when it ought to be at A. Such girls simply fall down in a heap before the Studies they don't like or don enjoy; the studies that for them mean earnest work and perhaps a hard battle, and they are not ashamed merely to escape failure and be pulled through a rather lenient examination at the close of the term Elizabeth would not do this IS a matter of course, nor would Evelyn or Kathleen or ] cr- othy. I h ,pe, and indeed I know, that you are far above such p-shod meth ods of study. but girls with names just Rs lovely are often enough deficient along these lines.
 It happens in this way. We do not know the real value of golden talents.
 Suppose we divide our talents under three heads. We may have golden tall ents, silver talents and leaden talents The golden talents are those We most
