Fun, Fast and Furious--The new
film string now on at the Waldorf
takes the medal for fun and interest
It reveals the history Of French stu
dent who leaves a good home for his
university and his career there, with
all the pranks and scrapes and sins
Of student-life, faithfully and fully
portrayed, including a visit from the
old folks, who catch him In one Of his
maddest whims, and the old father,
who has not forgotten his own college
days, goes out for a night with his son,
and has more experiences before morn
Ing than he ever had In his life be-
fore. The things the boys do to the
professors and others, day and night,
would fill book II written out, but
are pictured quickly and clearly to
the man who has not time to read
books, and wants to see things for
himself. He gets his moneys worth
by taking in this entertainment.

Life saving Motor Boat Success
Bankburn Ready for Sea--Stesm-
ship Crusader Reaches Port
From Guaymas, Mexico.

On Saturday night at about 10
o'clock the fine schooner Alice Me-
Donald, Captain Bender from San
Francisco, after making 1t in over the
Columbia river bar under her own
canvas, had the bad luck to so aground
on the Clatsop Spit sands about mid
way between the ocean end Of the
ietty and the mainland. She is still
aground, but is in no immediate dan
ger. and the cold weather Is propitious
for her so long as it lasts. The life
saving crews from Fort Candy and
Point Adams went to her assistance
at once. but the driving seas made it
impossible for them to reach her at
the high stage OF water then prevail
ing, but they stood by her for full
twenty-four hours. She pounded very
heavily on Sunday night and slipped
her shoe" on account of it, the life
savers reporting it high and dry ashore
yesterday morning. She lies at a
point almost identical with that on
which the barkentine Arago ground
ed and practically on the Grant sein-
ing grounds Captain Stuart ii the
Candy life saving station was in the
city yesterday morning and reports
that his crew and that from Adams
made an unsuccessful attempt yes
terday morning pass a running lire
from the Mcdonald to the bar tug Ia
toosh for the purpose Of serving a
hauling cable, but the sea was too
strong for the maneurae and it had to
be abandoned: but the effort was re-
newed at the noon food but was
again unsuccessful. However, II is
thought all will go we'll today. and
that she will be brought safely back
to the channels, and then it is merely
a matter of repairing her and loading
her outward.

A group Of sea captains were talk
Ing yesterday morning on one Of the
city docks, about the grounding Of
the schooner Alice Mcdonald, and it
was the unanimous opinion that there
should be system Of range lights
for the lower harbor to aid masters
In finding their way to an anchorage
after they have entered the harbor un-
piloted. They claimed If there had
been a set Of lights on the Washing
ton and Oregon shores on Saturday
night, the Mcdonald need not have
gone ashore; and that the cost of
maintaining such a set Of lights would
be mere bagatelle In view Of the
immense advantage and saving it
would be to the owners and captains
generally.

Use o, Rubber Restricted,

Probably no substance is adapted
to greater variety Of uses than rub.
Der, but Its applications are restricted
by the limited supply and high cost.
Among the purposes for which 1t has
great advantages but Is not likely to
be extensively employed Is that OF
paving rcadways. A rubber pave
ment laid at London railway station
in 1881 was in 1902 worn down to hve-
eighths Of an inch In its thipnest
place. Notwithstanding the scarcity
Of the material, the cost was less than
three times as great as that Of wood.
and Its life has been more than 20
years instead Of the four years which
the wood or asphalt would have en-
dured.
