Henry Clews, who is seventy, tells
an interviewer that there is some

keeps a man young in spite of years,
"Here the pulse of life beats fastest
Wall street throbs with the daily
ebb and flow of millions, infusing

SSSSSSSSSS

If you look at an S or an x right
way up you will at once say that
there is no difference in size between
the upper and the lower halves, but
just turn them upside down, and
the disproportion is very noticeable.
1t is the same with the figures 8 and
s. The top half is apparently ex-
actly similar to the bottom half re-
versed, but it is only necessary to
turn this paper wrong way up to dis
pei the illusion. The eye seems to
exaggerate the top half of these let
tiers and figures in some most mys-
ferrous way, as may be easily proved.
For if you make an X with the top
half an exact counterpart of the
lower half the letter will appear top
heavy.

pert test TO ascertain the mineral prop
critics. Short addresses were made by
prominent citizens, all favoring the pro-
ject, and many good offers were made to
assist financially. On motion commit
tee was appointed to make arrangements
to ship three car loads Of sand, one from
Clatsop, one from Seaside, and one from
Sand Island. Chairman Welch appoint
ed J. II. Smith, +. A. Fisher and Martin
Foard. The committee will meet this
morning at $3.50 o'clock at the office OF
J. H. Smith to make arrangements. 1t
was also suggested that inasmuch as
IL would require some money to load
and unload the sand, that Jas. w. Welch
be committe of one to collect one dol
lar from every merchant to defray the
expenses. Over $50 was collected in the
chamber before the meeting adjourned.
The government furnishes the sacks and
paws the freight, and the citizens are
supposed to furnish the sand.
There is no doubt but the sands are
rich with iron, platinum and gold, and
the experiment may result in bringing
large number of capitalists to Astoria
for the purpose of utilizing the sands in
manufactured products. DR.. Day has
made an experiment of the sand and
pronounces it unusually rich in minerals
and states that iron can be manufac-
tured in Astoria cheaper than any place
in the United States.
