ADMoNIToRY LUNCHES.

Whenever nature does one of her
spectacular and hideous Stunts" such
as forest-hres, land-slides, tornadoes,
floods, earthquakes, man, with coward
ly knowledge OF his real deserts,
cringes and weakens and quakes, and
does the bit of thinking he should
do at less suggestive moments; not
that nature has any particular aim or
relation TO or with him in the matter,
bur rpon the simple hypothesis that
her untoward and frightful activity
SO transcends his paltry and restricted
place and power, that he crumples in
the contrast and turns instinctively
to the cleaner and dearer things OF
life, by way Of Precipitation and in
voluntary penance, as it were.
This is the lesson that is yielded
by the tremendous visitations such
as has swept the Southland during
the past few days; it is the residium
OF every great holocaust; and perhaps
it is well those disasters come as they
do. Man needs some palpable rebuke
every hour of his life for the mean
ness and craft and weakness that he
hides beneath the frippery of civiliza- !
ton we are prone to harp on so much. |
There is but little ground for exalta-
ton, these hard, money-governed days
and the call of FIRST principles" such
as Nature frequently and terrifcally !
may move us to the assump-
ion and use of some of them, to our
advantage.

TAKE MORE TIMEl

1t behooyes the councilmen Of AS
toria, and the property-owners as
well, to scrutinize the text of the
proposed ordinance creating the fire
limits of the city, and the fixing the
character of the construction and re-
pairs incident to that district. The
object OF the bill is, OF course, excel
lent and wholly commendable and
emphasizes the necessity for the exact
and safe framing OF the law.
The district is negligible to start
with; it begins at the harbor line at
the foot of Seventeenth, thence to
Exchange, thence to Thirteenth,
thence to Duane, thence to Sixth,
thence to the harbor line, and east
wardly to the beginning. 1t should
take in Franklin avenue from Seven
teenth to Seventh, and thence to
Duane, Sixth and the harbor line, in
order to comprehend the best build
ing sites on the levels and the near
levels.
The rules for construction and re-
pair are very full and exact Though
carelessly framed), and would serve
high purpose in any city that did not
have period of transition from piling
to terra frma ahead of it; as they
read they are far too exacting and will
work hardship on every owner, at
least, until the city is equipped with
a new datum plane and a set of COM
mensurate grades, and until sea-wall
or other basic program for filling the
tide levels has been designed and ac-
cepted by the people. 1t is positive
folly and injustice to force a
measure of this kind, with the basic
grades Of Astoria at "sixes and sew
ems" as they are now, and no deter
mined project, or prospect, for future
handling of the great work OF meet
ing those grades by reducing, filing
and levelling, the legitimate, com
mercial contours, existing, and de
sired.

zone Touch of Nature Makes the

When rooster finds a big fat
worm he calls all the hens in the
farm yard to come and share it. A
similar trait of human nature is to
be observed when man discovers
something exceptionally good--he
wants all his friends and neighbors
TO share the benefits OF his discovery.
This is the touch Of nature that
makes the whole world kin. This

In which he had just made an ascen'
sion at the Maccabee picnic at Hague
park, vandercook lake, a resort near
here. Oliver had left the balloon to
descend by his parachute. the cords
OF which gave way on one entire side
dropping him TO his death amid the
crowd Of merrymakers who had loud
ly applauded his ascent.
While the unfortunate man was
falling, the crowd saw by the action
of the parachute that something was
wrong. In moment oliver hac
crashed through big hickory tree
severing a number of branches and
striking hard on the ground near the
very spot where the balloon had
started from. AS soon a. those who
had seen the fall recovered from the
momentary shock, they hurried 10
the dying mans side and bore him tc
the steps Of cottage. Medical aid
was summoned. but, Oliver lived oDJ

aeronaut. Although meeting with
many mishaps, he still continued. al
the business. Two years ago he sus
tanned serious injuries, which at the
time IL was thought would result "a
tally. The accident occurred at Pine
lake. and II was the parachute which
failed to work that let him down
from a great height, but his fall waz
impeded somewhat and he escaped
with several broken ribs and frac
tured hip.
