We publish herewith a letter
from Mr.. C. F. Brian, Secretary OF
the State Pension Board, in regard
to the position Capt. G. d. Teal
took on pensions during the last
session of the Legislature. We
have never given the charge any
thought, because it was so foreign
from the character of Capt. Teal,
and we feel satisfied that no one
who ever knew Capt. Teal ever
conceived that he had opposed pen.

A NATURAL FOGHORN

A natural foghorn has been discov- cred at the entrance to San Francisco Bay It is located on a little rocky island known as the South Farral- lones de los Frayles. It is close by one of the most important lighthouses on the Pacific coast. On the Farral- lones the rock is granite. Through erosion long, narrow hole has been bored out reaching from the top of the island to the waves underneath. As result when the waves strike the lower orifice they drive the air up- ward with a loud screaming noise. When the government engineers were locating the lighthouse they discover ed this natural horn and came to the conclusion that it could be brought into service simply by affixing the regulation foghorn. The foghorn is not effective, however, as it will only sound when the tide is high, and, ow-

EDDYITES FOUND GUILTY.
New Jersey Christian Scientists Con.
 victed of MansIauehter.

Mount Holly, N, J., Oct. 11.-Edwin M Watson and his wife, May. on trial here to answer a charge of manslaugh- ter based on their failure to provide medical treatment for their seven-year old son, Granville, who died of pneu- monia on May 26 after brief illness, were found guilty by the jury. A rec ommendation of mercy was made by the jury in the case.
 The Watsons are Christian Scien- lists. A physician who was called in at the last moment to see the sick child of the accused said his life could have been saved had he been given proper treatment. He said the Wat sons had told him they were depend ing on a Christian Scientists treat ment to save the childs life and that Mrs. Watson when told the boy would die said: No, he won't. I am praying for his recovery" The Watsons will appeal the case.
