a Good Exampls. -The taking down o.


the shabby old awnings that hung over
the sidewalks on the Commercial street
frontage Of The Brown property at the
corner Of Eleventh, yesterday, was .
good example, and should be followed
instantly by every owner Of building
on Commercial street, II widens the
street TO the eye of every one and adds
wonderfully 70 the open appearance Of
the city, besides removing one Of the
positive dangers In the event Of FIRE.
Only the hackwoois towns of the state
stIll cling To the wooden awnings, and
the sooner Astoria gets rid Of what she
has left. the better Il win be for all
concerned. They are unsightly, gloomy.
and of no earthly use. and their absence
brightens up the face Of the buildings
and the streets below them.

The second message Il, in words and
figures, ~ follows:
Astoria, Ore. July 10, 1906
ITO the Honorable Common Council Of
the City 81 Astoria:
Recent explosions and fires in Port.
land and other cities have proven that
the unlimited storage Of oils, gasoline,
and similar inHamabIe materials, Ia a
grave menace TO the lives and properties
Of the people II stored In the populated
part Of the city.
Representatives Of the STANDARD Oil
and kindred companies dealing In these
commodities may use the most plausible
arguments, but accidents already report
ed and Others likely 10 happen at any
moment are witnesses they cannot buy
of or hush up; agents may offer TO sit
upon these tanks with lighted candle
In the hand as has been stated. but
somehow, they never happen 10 be
around when some careless employe or
innocent neighbor goes up into the air
without warning and without para
chute.
Though the City OF Portland had
previously recognized the existence of
these companies and had by ordinance
provided for their regulation the recent
dangerous explosions and fires have caus-
ed the councilmen responsible for the
peoples welfare, 10 introduce an ordi-
nance prohibiting those dangers within
the city limits.
"The City Of Astoria has never given
Its consent TO their establishment here
nor provided for their regulation; and
In view OF the great danger confronting
our city and the excessive rates of In.
surance imposed upon our people, feel,
that would be recreant TO my oath OF
Office and to my duties il failed TO call
the attention Of your honorable body to
chat menace.
Nothing might happen for years to
come, but again something may happen
at any moment. and il but single life
were blown into eternity or single
home destroyed the blame would be up
on by conscience and yours and for one,
! will not carry such a load upon my
soul.
Therefore, ! have the honor to sug.
gest. that you pass ordinance at the
earliest possible moment, prohibiting the
location and operation OF tank,
holding more than 5000 gallons of oils,
and very small quantity Of gasoline
within the city limits; and even the
smallest tanks should be under the
strictest regulations, but those huge,
monstrous dangers to life and property
must not be tolerated at all inside the
limits of this city.

Fire Chief Campbell and other eompe-
tent authorities of Portland.

TRUE SOUTHERN cHIvALRY
Kentucky Colonel Didn't Apologize,
But He Came Very Near
Doing It.

Many stories have been told of south.
ern chivalry, but the palm apears to 20
to story told by former governor Of
Kentucky while visiting Philadelphia re-
Gently.
According to the narrator, a genuine
Kentucky colonel boarded street car
which wae very crowded, and somehow
ne stepped on the foot of very pretty
woman. Of course, the woman expected
the colonel to apologize, just os did
everybody else who heard her give
mouselike squeal when the coloneis foot
came down.
And she looked as though she expected
an apology, but the colonel, divining her
thought, dotted mis- hat and said: '"No.
madam, I'm not going to apologize. When
the good Lord was so gracious as to
make women SO beautiful and charming
and with such wonderfully small feet
that man has to tramp on them 70 find
them, then don't think that an apol-
ogy-"
The compliment was too graceful for
the woman to resist, and all that fol-
lowed was a smiling acknowledgment Of
the colonels gallant speech.

IN OCEAN DEPTHS.

Some Of the most beautiful sights
are found In the seattle coral reef.
and the sunken gardens, filled will
strange marine plants Some marine
animals live only in the purest wa
ter, others only in the foulest water;
for every condition there is life tc
ct It,
In all ocean basins, hills and ridges,
as well as troughs and deep holes, oc.
cur, and the bottom is covered with
the skeletons of marine animals,
changed by time into slime and stone.
Some Of the animals of the ocean
have no eyes, having no need of them;
Others have hundred eyes.
The largest animal and the tiniest
animal are found in the sea. In places
the sea is 10000 feet Deep Its aver
age depth is over 10000 feet. Twice
every "a hours the water rises and
falls. At the entrance to the Bay
of Fundy the rise at spring tide is no
less than 10 feet. The natural power
that controls the tide is a tremendous
one.
And the plant life in the ocean is
almost Jas remarkable as the animal
life. Learned men have been study
ing 1t for centuries and are only be-
ginning to understand it. If you want
to be interested as no novel can in
terest you, procure book telling in
simple manner Of the life in the
seas. There are plenty Of such books
written for the people rather than for
scientists.
One of the worms found In the ocean
lives by swallowing sand, extracting
from 1t whatever animal or vegetable
fook 1t may contain. The animals
of1tte ocean live on each other. One
animal kills its prey by means of an
electric shock. A fish is known which
fishes with sort of hook and line
and thus secures its food. There Is
a phosphorescence on the sea that at
times produces a light SO brilliant
that at night one may read by 1t.
This is produced by millions of living
things.

EXPLOSION OF MAGAZINES.
Many Residents of City Think II A.
Earthquake.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, May 16. - Four
magazines in the testing grounds of
the Union Metallic Cartridge Com
pany in the east side, exploded, the
conclusion shaking the whole city and
causing great alarm among many per-
sons who believed that there had been
an earthquake. Windows were shat
tered and in many homes crockery
fell from the shelves but no serious
damage was reported There were
two explosions with but seconds
interval between and large amount
of powder was destroyed. One of the
company's buildings was damaged. So
far as known no person was harm
ed. ~
Following the explosion many per-
sons clad only in their night garments
fed to the streets believing that the
earthquake recently predicted had
taken place. Many women became
historical and it was sometime be-
fore they were treasured.
The four magazines which explod-
ed contained $4,000 pounds Of powder
each. None of the other buildings of
the Cartridge company was damaged
and the four adjacent magazines
were unframed.
