THE SkEPTIC.

Alderman Frank L. Bowling of
New York was talking about his
widely praised ordinance to make it
crime for chauffeurs to take out
their masters motor cars without
leave.
$50 many accidents have accom-

derman Bowling, chat the chauf-
feur has come to be regarded very

The Traces of the Beasts.

On every side in the Malay wilds
the traces of the beasts-which here
live as scheduled, as safe from mOles-
tatiOn, as did their ancestors in pre-
Adamite days-are visible on tree
trunk, on beaten game path and on
the yielding clay at the drinking
places by the hurrying stream. Here
a belt of mud nine feet from the
ground shows that an elephant has
rubbed his itching back against the
rough bark of tree. and, see, coarse
hairs are still sticking in the hardened
clay. There long, sharp scratch re-
peated at regular intervals marks the
passing Of a rhinoceros. Here, again.
is the pad mark of a tiger barely an
hour old. and the pitted tracks of deer
of all sizes and varieties surround the
deeply punched holes which are the
footsteps of an elephant. - Cornhill

SCHEME THAT WORKED WELL
Doctors Diplomatic Stroke That Set
tied All Question of I'm
paid Fees.

A physician complained recently
to a fellow-practitioner that he had
great difficulty procuring his fee
from fathers Of newborn babes. His
friend found a remedy for this state
of affairs. On attending a case
shortly afterward, and being asked
if it would be quite as convenient
were be to be paid his fee in week S
time, he replied:
"Quite, for | never lose any money
on these cases"
'Indeed p said the parent.
"Well," said the doctor, cit is be-
coming a well-established supersti-
ton, based upon facts, that parents
who allow their infant boy to start
in life with debt hanging over his
head are sure to have a ne'er-do-well
son, and the girl in such predica-
ment is sure to marry pauper."
The feelings of the anxious mother
could not bear this awful strain, and
the fee was duly paid.-London Tit

C0L0RS IN THE OCEAN.
Various Causes For the Different Tints
of the Water.

of the Water.
Sky and cloud colOrs are often re-
fected in the sea. but just as the air
has its sunset glory so water has its
changing tints quite apart from mere
reflection.
Olive and brown lines in the waves
off the coast come from the muddy
sediment washed from the shore, as
blues arise chiefly from reflected sky.
But there are many other colOrs in the
ocean. On almost every long voyage
at sea spots of reddish brown color
are noticed at one time or another.
When q few drops of the discolored
water are examined under a micro
scope myriads of minute cylinder shap-
ed algae are seen, some separate, some
joined together In scores. 1t is this
organism-sometimes called "sea saw
duSt'-which has given the name to
the Red sea, although 1T also abounds
in other waters. Sometimes the wa

Publicity In Improvement Work.

A band of workers for public i'm
provement will find no surer way Of
intrenching themselves with the pub
lie than interesting the local press and
getting its support. Not only will this
give an added strength to the work,
but viii force upon the Indifferent the
fact that something is being done that
Will rebound to his benefit and, fur
Their, that he should be aiding the work
by active support. Improvement soci-
eties have occasionally issued a small
pamphlet at regular or irregular inter
walls in which progress is recorded, pol
icies outlined and argument made for
the support and perpetuation Of the
work. The expense Of these modest
publications is fully met by inserting
advertisements from the leading bust
ness houses. With the local press or a
separate publication behind the work
there is stability established that win

THE PIE is BURNED.

The street improvement pie, upon
which a goodly number of Astorians
have feasted with a lingering gusto
for several years past, is bit burned
around the edges just now, and is
hardly as palatable as it once was;
but the charred portions will be care
fully scraped off and the Forthcoming
dishes will be acceptable, as they
should be. Cooks will grow careless
especially in the constant concoction
of the same provepder; monotony
conpels a degree of inattention and
oversight that invariably assert them
selves when least desired or appro-
pirate; and frequently, the only rem
edy for the evil is change OF cooks
and stewards.

for a couple of years past that there

THE PORT OF ASTORIA.

We insist again, and shall keep on
insisting, that it is Of the better part
of wisdom for our people to establish
the Port of Astoria at the first feasi-
bic moment; to secure to this city the
rights appertaining to legal port, and
equip herself with the functions and
prerogatives though she shall not use
them for long time to come; to pro-
tect herself from invasion by Portland
and other communities who may see
fit to tamper with the rights that
should be ours; to take over the forms
and investments of the status though
we do not invoke them practically; TO
hedge against all doubt of our right
to declare and maintain port here,
and make it possible, at any time to
assert our independence on this line.
AS it is, Astoria is mere stopping
place for ships and steamers, without
control or authority of any kind; a
haven, free, and excellent in all ways,
but of no avail to her citizens; the
Wingate bill, which has been reported
to the Astoria Chamber of Commerce,
is thorough going measure covering
all the main and essential elements OF
the port status and providing for its
proper maintenance, and is entitled
to the fullest possible consideration
at the hands OF all Astorians. It's f.
nancial provisions need not be entered
into. to the utter limit of the sums
quoted; they may be adjusted to the
steps Astoria desires to take in formu-
lating her marine establishment; by
degrees she may use the privileges
prescribed, as necessity for them COM
mands. The particular and patent
thing required is to put the CITY upon
an exact and recognized plane in this
behalf, armed with all the legal ways
and means needed to enforce her
claims against encroachment and dis
pute.
She has every right to this condi-
ton, and it will be stroke Of busi-
ness enterprise for her people to see
to it at once that she is fortified and
EQUIPPED with all the panoply OF etfec-
tive law, against the hour she shall re-
ouire it; using what of it she has to
in the meantime, by way OF preiimina
nv security and the quality Of manda
tory authority in an element OF pub
lie concern which is liable to figure
large in this community before many
years have passed.

HUGHES, AND THE FUTURE.

"Unsight and unseen" we venture
the opinion that Governor Hughes, OF
New York, is one of the coming great
Americans: and that he will have to
be reckoned with in the national pro-
paganda OF the near future. He has
all the attributes that commend him
to the keenest thought and earnest
concern OF the people at large, as a
! type and champion OF popular govern
ment; and his apparent contempt for
the mere politician, the rounder, and
bounder, and sounder, OF the political
cesspools, leads direltly TO the safe
and solid conclusion that he can take
excellent care of himself and OF all
things entrusted to him. His career
as Governor leaves nothing upon
which to build a contrary idea of his
personally and power and cleanliness;
and it is to such men the people OF
America must turn for the conserva-
| ton of the huge interests of the ma
ton, now accumulating at tremendous
ratio.
He is in the Roosevelt class OF
/ statesmen; that is admitted on all
| sides; and being there, he cannot be
overlooked, and will not be. The peo'
pie know, instinctively, who theil
friends are, and when they demand
the man he is likely to answer the call
Hughes is OF the sort for whom such
demands are made; we may be mistak
en- in our estimate, away out here in
Astoria, the farthest possible from the
man and his work, but he is in the
public eye here, and if at this CONT
mental distance, what OF the impress
sion he is making nearer the seat oi
government. Keep your eye on Mr.
Hughesl.
