CELESTIAL SKYR0CKET
 OF SATURDAY NIGHT
Interesting Opinion by Those Best
 Fitted to Judge.

Yesterday morning The Republican gave the story of a big meteor that passed through the heavens near this
 city the evening before. The descriP-
 ton of the incident was given as re-
 ported by several different people who saw the celestial display there beiHs
 some varience in the stories. particU-
 larly as to time and distance and the noise made Following is given the
 report of it as made by Director Jes- unOfsky of the weather bureau service.
 who is rather more interested in such things than most people. as il is in the line of his professional work. He saw
 the display. or a part of II at least and instantly on its coming into view he opened his watch. His time report is therefore authentic. Direction, etc.
 was also carefully noted as well as the accompanying sound. MT. JesunOfsky says:
 At 6:02 D. m. Saturday Q meteor of large proportions was observed cOurs- ing across the sky from azImuth 242 degrees and altitude 42 degrees to about azimuth 40 degrees and altitude 60 degrees. The color of the trail left by the meteor resembIed that of a fly ing rOcket-golden yellow. During its passage several balls of white iigh- were seen shooting outward from its track The meteor exploded. sending off three balls of white light. The duration of it's passage required about five seconds. About twelve seconds after the display low rumbling noise. like thunder was heard overhead. which became fainter and fainter. far and low down over the eastern hOri- zon until its final iuaudibility."
 Various calculations have been made by those interested, on the size of iJ and it's distance from the earth. While there is nothing to figure accurately on, from the time elapsing between the explosion and the hearing of the nOise of it and the rate of travel of sound through the air. it is roughly estimated that the meteor was between fifty and sixty miles above the earth The Phoenix people say it appeared to pe over Glendale. and Glendale people say it appeared to be over Phoenix. The inference would be that il passed be- tween the two places. Assuming the height as given above and the display made it is roughly estimated that the fire ball could not have been smaller than Cambelback mountain and per haps was much larger. It is quite likely that some of the fragments of the meteor found the earth this side of the California line The prospector who stumblcs onto one of any consid- arable size may find fortuRe. for me reorites are said to contain almost avery metal valuable and otherwis", that is known to science.

Misdirected Energy.

Frances, girl of F, was destined by her mother to be a fine musician. While still a little child she was taught to read the notes, and her tiny fingers were placed on the key board. Year in and yeaY out the child was obliged to practice, and she acquired a measured amount of skill, but her playing was wooden and spiritless. In despair her moth. CT said to her: What do you ex- pect to be when you are grown up?"
 The girl sighed. When am grown up, mother. if have a house of my own, the first thing l shall do will be to order the piano chopped up for kindling wood. l want to be doctor.'
 As time passed musical studies were dropped, and duly Frances went to the medical college. At last she was allowed liberty to grow in her own proper direction. She is a sue cessful physician, treating nervous disorders with rare sympathy and un derstanding- Woman Home Com panion.

Glad If Was No Worse.

Trinidad, Col.-Passenger train No. z on the Colorado and Southern Rail- road carrying hundreds of Texas Elks to the convention in Denver, was wrecked three miles north of Forbes Junction. Engineer Martin J. Cullon was killed and Fireman Charles T. Garrett badly hurt. That the whole train was not carried into a deep "a vine resulting in serious loss of life was due to the fact that it was run ming slowly on account of recent rains The train ran into landslide while rounding a curve and the engine roll ed over, carrying the two baggage cars with it. None of the passenger coaches left the track. Three special trains from the South carrying Elks to the Denver convention were held here on account of the wreck.

o.,,avee Blood Causes f'impIes and soiIs-Dr. Williams Pink Pills Make New Blood and
 Cure Follows.

nI abused my stomach, my blood got
 ,, of order and then my face broke out .r;th pimples and boils, says T E. Rob. srtson. of 197 Addison street, Washing t,p Pa. "This was over two years ago. My stomach was in bad shape. After eating I would have to rest awhile or 1 would suffer the most severe pains in mv stomach. On arising 1 would often he so dizzy that could hardly stand up The slightest exertion would start my hack aching so that 1 often ha6 to sit down and rest awhile. At times I ex- nerienced a pain around the heart which alarmed me but which 1 suppose came from my stomach trouble.
 "I began to break out on the face with nimples and later with boils which con- fined me to the house a week or more at time. One day l saw Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People advertised in a pauphlet which was left at the door and i thought I would give them a trial. I took several boxes of the pills before all the pimples and boils left me, but I am now glad to say that my blood is good. l do not have any eruptions and 1 no longer have the head and stomach troubles l have described. I am very grateful for what Dr. Williams Pink Pills have done for me and l have recom- mended them and always will advise those who are suffering from bad blood or stomach trouble to try them.'

LIFE IN OCEAN.
Professor of Cambridge CEng.) Uni- versity Tells Some New and
 Interesting Facts.

J. stanley Gardiner, of Cambridge university, has been exploring the lhdian ocean and gives it as his opin- lon that at one time there was land connection between Ceylon and Mad agascar. But it is in describing the wonders of the deep that his report grows most interesting "A very con- siderable variety of deep-sea fish was brought up" he says. At least half the number we secured seemed quite new specimens, and, I believe. are not described in any textbook. Some o1 these had enormous eyes. some only rudimentary eyes, the size of pm head, while some had no eyes at all.
 One of the most interesting dis coVeries we made was that floating life IS exceedingly abundant at all depths down to about 1,2O0 fathoms in seas 2,500 fa,aaGs deep. By float lng life l mean animals which form the food of whales and deep-ocean fish, and which up to the present have been believed to live on or very close to the surface. A variety of enormous squids was fished out as well as jelly fish and gigantic prawns fully six inches long. Some of these latter were blind, while others had huge eyes, but nearly all of them had phosphorescent organs, which would naturally be due to the fact that they live at depth where al- most total darkness prevails.
 "The blind varieties had enormous feelers, or tentacles, some of them extending to twice the length of their own bodies. Some forms, such as the water flea, which is only about the size of pins head in surface water, we discovered six or ten times that size in 600 or 700 fathoms."

New Fruit of Value.

new fruit that seems likely to prove of considerable value has been developed by the cultivation of the very familiar "maypop," plant which is very familiar in the southern states, quite ornamental, easily grown from seeds and affords handsome cover for arbors and verandas. It is known to borlnists as passitlora incarnata. The bigger than a hens egg and decidedly palatable It looks like May apple.

OUTDOOR LIFE Will Not Offset the III Effects of Coffee When One Cannot Digest It.
A farmer says


 Tt was not from liquor or tobacco that for ten years or more I suffered from dyspepsia and stomach trouble they were caused by the use of coffee until l got so bad I had to give up coffee entirely and almost give up eat ing. There were times when 1 could eat only boiled milk and bread and had to take some bread and butter along to give me strength.
 II doctored with doctors and took almost everything I could get for my stomach in the way of medicine, but If l got any better it only lasted a lit tie while until l was almost a walking skeleton.
 One day read an ad for Postum and told my wife would try it, and as to the following facts I will make affidavit before any judge:
 T quit coffee entirely and used Postum in its place. I have regained my health entirely and can eat any thing that is cooked to eat. 1 have Increased in weight until now I weigh more than I ever did; I have not taken any medicine for my stomach since l began using Postum. Why, believe Postum will almost digest an Iron wedge.
 My family would stick to coffee at nrst, but they saw the effects it had on me, and when they were feeling pad they began to use Postum, one at ume, until now we all use Postum.' ' Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

Guatemala and Salvador. With Hon. duras on the Side, Will Be
 Good Again.

oyster Bay, L. I-Peace negotia.
 lohs between Guatemala and Salvador
 are being arranged by President
 roosevelt and Acting Secretary of
 state Bacon at Sagamore Hill The question not yet settled is whether
 Honduras will become a party to the
 negotiations at this time. It is ru.
 mored here that it would hardly be
 lalr to compel Guatemala to face two
 former foes in a peace conference at one time. Honduras will probably agree to the settlement arranged by the other two states.
 The negotiations, it is said, will doubtless be held on board the Amer lcan cruiser Marblehead, now in Guatemalan waters
 This is not the first time the deck of United States man-of-war has been the scene of a peace conference. The Marietta was thus employed six or eight years ago in bring about peace betWen Costa Rica and Salya- dor; the Philadelphia played similar part at Panama during a revolution there about ten years ago, and more recently Commander Dillingham; brought the Monte Christi insurgents and the Dominican government agents together off Monte Christi and secured peace on board the Detroit
 The important developm ent. aside from the offer of the Marblehead. was an assurance to the state department from President Cabrera that Guate- maIa would refrain from further hos tllities if Salvador would undertake 10 do the same, which news was promptly communicated to Minister Merry at San Salvador in order that he might transmit a proposition to the government at that place
 Another point developed was that Salvador and Honduras had entered into an alliance, the nature of which is not certainly known, but it is be- lieyed by the officials here that the purpose is to agree upon the terms of peace that shall be proposed by the two countries to Guatemala This news came to the state department from Charge Brown at Guatemala City Still another cablegram, this one from Minister Merry, informed the state department that the government of Honduras insisted on being con. sidered along with Salvador in the peace negotiations with Guatemala. Altogether the prospect of the peace full termination of the present diff culty is believed to have frightened considerably.
 President Rooseyelt's activity in this Central American dispute has ben misunderstood in some quarters, It would be highly improper, it is stated for the President to offer his services as arbitrator, and he has not done so. H has merely suggested to the warning republics that he will ex- ert his good offices to assist them in settling their difficulties. By this offer, he has, in no sense, put himself forward as the proposed arbitrator of the difficulties which are involving Central America, but as an advocate of international peace. he has indi- cated his disposition to do all in his power to assist Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras to end a war which is in much bloodshed and the national life of sey eral republics.
