KIP ERIENCE WITH A TYPHOON

OY0HAVE seen typhoons at Hong Kong,
I8I but none so severe as the one that
49, recently caused such tremendous
lNSQRI wreckage in the harbor. When l was
on the island in the early eighties
people still talked of "a great blow" which had
driven sailing vessel out of the water and
right up of the streets. l inclined at
first to think that this story was retaied for
the benefit of newcomers but when | had seen
what the tail-end of typhoon could do in the
way Of destruction l believed everything that
l was told concerning the big tempest
The harbor of Hong Kong is one of the most
beautiful in the world. 1t is landocked. On
one side is the mainland with Kowloon on the
shore and a range of mountains purple in the
distance; on the other side is the British land,
with the town of Victoria terracing the slopes
and reaching almost to the peak. There are isl
ands in the haTbor, and there is safe anchorage,
except during a big typhoon, for all the navies
of the world. The whole of the big sheet of
water is alive with sampans, the Chintse boats,
each with brown sails each with eyes at the
PROV, that 1T may see where it is going There
are big sea-going sampans and little cookie boats
but all are built on the same model and each
Is the dwelling place OF the sailors who man
it and their families. How the owners of such
a multitude of boats make living is one of the
puzzles of life in Hong Kong; but as the China,
men live on fish and rice, feeding is not an
expensive item of existence
AGGREGATION OF SMALL BOATS.
There are inner harbors of refuge for small
boats at Hong Kong, arms of masonry thrown
out from the shore to give shelter in rough
weather; but as the typhoon struck the harbor
suddenly, the sampans would not have been able
to gain refuge, but, no doubt, were clustered like
bees round the ships at anchor One of the curious
sights OF the harbor are the piers from which the
Canton and Macao steamers start. The boats are

Whether the typhoon be heavy one, its
centre passing over the island, or whether it
only gives the harbor brush of its outer circle,
there is always lull at one period of the blow

kG<zE1R lavia, and looked, with curious eN
preston in her eyes, at one photo
graph out of the many there.
Her notebook was in her hand. She was sup
posed to be taking down in shorthand the ma
terial on which to build tte glowing description
which was to make the many readers of the big
daily which she served feel themselves to be in
festive Herzfort, waiting for the coming of its
Crown Princess future husband
It was growing late, and the article, with its
big black headlines, had still to be written. Yes,
and scarcely half page of the Reporters Note
book" which she held was filed with scrawly
shorthand. So much had still to be seen heard,
and recorded; yet Sara Fleming, keen journalist
though she was, stood idly staring in at shop
window, as if she were some girl come up to the
capital for pure enjoyment; not worker at all.
1t was at one photograph she looked, photo
graph set conspicuously in the centre of the win
dow, as beftted such a time. It was the pho
tograph Of girl, whose dark eyes looked out of
the small clear cut face with repressed indgna-
ton burning in their liquid depths whose square,
cleft chin was slightly raised as though in def
ance, whose lips firmly shut, as though its
owner were too proud to enter on an unavailing
protest against something which must needs be
borne, rebel as she would against it.
Sara watched the proud young face, that
seemed to gaze straight at her from behind the
plate-glass Of the window, and understood There
was some strange and subtle sympathy between
the sad young face within the window and the
sad young face outside Was it the silent re-
bellion against something in their lot which both
shared, or did it spring from another reason?
Sara suddenly, with one quick, guilty glance
around to make sure she was unobserved, drew
from her coat pocket small mirror, such as lady
journalists who have not lost the woman in the
worker carry about on their travels, and looked
earnestly down at the face whien it threw back
to her.
A small clear-cut face, with dark eyes gazing
out at the world where she fought her daily
bread with suppressed Indignation in their
liquid depths, square, cleft chin held high
soft dark hair framing to face which was-yes,
she had known it all acng, the face of the
Grown Princcss-there in the photographers win
dow.
Sara Fleming looked from photograph to mir
ror, and back again from mirror to photograph.
Then she replaced the mirror in her pocket,
and the busy Journalist again.
As she turned from the window to the gaily
decorated street man, who had been watching
her, came up, and asked some trivial question of
her. She answered it in French, the language
he had used and he thanked her and moved on
ward with greatly relieved look upon his face.
But she noticed that he kept her in sight till she

When the wind does come it hits sea and ships
and land as though blow had been delivered
by some gigantic unseen hand. The black water
OF the bay becomes driven white, and each ship
begins to fight to hold its place. On shore the
telescopes are turned towards each ship in sue
cession. Some of the craft always begin to
drag their anchors as soon as the wind is at
its height, and there is always the danger of
drifting ship fouling another and of both of
them becoming wrecks. The tugs, with a full

Machines That Almost Think

Pens are made by machines which seem almost

the length Of one pen, and these are fed to
machines which cut out the blanks. then fashion,

moorings. Some of the captains who have had
experience in typhoons in harbor have favorite
anchorages to which they move their craft, and

After that number of months will
be taken in the work of compiling and

High School Gymnasium viii Bring
Many Students 10 City
OPINION Of CITY SUPERINTENDENT JONES
NEW GYMNASIUM WHEN CON-
PLETED WILL BE THE FINEST
IN WASHINGTON.

Il believe the new high school gym
nasium, now under course of construc-
many students to Walla Walla from
points all over Eastern Washington"
said City Superintendent O. S. Jones
this morning. THE new gymnasium,
when completed, will excel both in ap-
pointment and cost of construction
any public school gymnasium in the
state, if not in the northwest. The
gymnasium paraphernalia has been
selected and the city board of educa-
ton will probably award the con-
tracts for furnishing the supplies at
tonight's meeting. The apparatus
will be modern in every respect and
will include everything needed for the
recreation and physical development
of the students.
1.-The superior educational course
now offered by the Walla Walla high
school combined with the new gym
nasium facilities should result in a
substantial increase in the number Of
students from outside points coming
to Walla Walla to obtain their educa-
ton.
1.-The people of Walla Walla have
certainly not curtailed the efforts Of
the city board to make Walla Walla's
school system one of the best in the
in greatly aiding this city in ad-
vancing to a population of $4,000.

RANGE WAR IS IN PROSPECT
Ranchers in Idaho are Warned to
Leave the Country on Pain
Of Death.

WEISER, Idaho, July 27.-Trouble
has begun as result of the ill feeling

more trouble is threatened In fact, a
serious range war is in prospect.
Notices have been posted on the
doors of many ranchers' houses, noti-

the nearest large town, and are guard
