PRINCE IS CALLED TO THRONE

Peixia. Nov. ls.-The Emperor Of China is dead. It may be stated posi- lively that he died at o'clock this evening
 The Emperor had been i'll for q long time and during recent audiences with foreign representatives he was unable either to sit upon the threne or even in an erect position. It was evident for long time that he would be un- able to withstand crisis which sooner or later must develop in the disease from which he was suffering.
 At the moment of the deaEli of the Emperor the aDowager Empress own death chamber chair was waiting in the court yard. She. too. had been in serious condition and word that was brought to her earlier ia the day that the Emperor was dying caused her to collapse.
 This has not prevented her from assuming the relationship of grand mother to the successor to the throne.

The King has, OF course, the right to
command the attendance upon him
Of any member of the household, and
to require him to unlock any door;
but he does not borrow the key for
the purpose of using it without the

rogative in this respect. II. for ex-

real estate and colonization company
OF Chicago came to Astoria, for the
purpose OF locating colony here,
after corresponding with the Cham
Der OF Commerce TO that end. When
he arrived and saw that much OF the
town was built on piles, he took the
next train and left without so much
as making an investigation. While
this action on his part showed his
ignorance, as all seaports have to do
more or less with tide flats and some
Of them have tides 50 feet high in
stead OF 8 feet high, yet this is an inn
portance lesson to the people OF As
toria showing that a bulkhead along
the city front so that these flats may
be filled in with dirt is absolutely es-
sentiai to the best development OF the
city.
This bulkhead proposition will be
taken up as actively as possible and
the people OF Astoria will be given
chance to vote on it. A resolution
has been introduced in the city coun-
Gil giving notice Of proposed amend
ments to the charter. These will be-
drawn up in due course by a live and
energetic committee from the city
council, and others, and the people
can vote upon the amendments not
later than December. The mayor and4
the progressive members Of the City
Council deserve all credit for the inia
tiative in this matter.
Meanwhile various factory enter
prises will be advertised and pushedd
energetically and there Is now every
reason to believe that the first of
these successfully established will be
the terra Gotta and brick makingl
plant. The leasing for oil, gas andl
coal will presently be completed andf
the drilling started as soon after
wards as possible. A number OIL
other matters Of great Importance arel
being threshed out and, Astoria isl
making a bigger hole every day in theI
map Of Oregon, This work Of build
ing up a city is not an easy project
and might even tire the patience Of
Job himself, but everlastingly ham
mering at it is bound to bring success
and some morning the citizens of
Astoria will wake up and find that a !
rev regime has begun. Meanwhile
what Is needed is the closest and most
intelligent cooperation.

State supervision of all bridges erect
ed is proposed by State Engineer Fred
erick Skene of New York. That gen.
tleman has drawn up proposed law
covering the matter He would requi -e
his approval, as well as the approval
of the county engineer, Of the plans
and specifications of every bridge ex-
ceeding $500 in cost to be built by q
town. He also recommends that con-
tracts for such bridges be required to
be awarded to the lowest bidder, after
the work has been properly advertised,
and, finally, that the approval of the
State engineer be required before pay
ment for completed bridge is made.
There is law in that State providing
that the assistance Of the State enyi-
neer may be invoked to superintend
such constructions, but it has been ig-
nored by the counties and towns. and
contracts have been lrregularly award
ed, with the result that there are many
inferior structures. Such a law as
that proposed would be the means of
correcting the evils of the existing sys.

Trees md Lightning.

There Is popular belief that certain
trees are less likely than others to be
struck by lightning, and that during
thunderstorm 1t Is quite safe to stand
under beech, for example while tile
danger under resinous tree or an oak
is, respectively, fifteen or twenty times
greater. This is disputed in recent
writing by DIR. A. w. Bothwick In his
Notes Of the Royal Botanical Garden
Of Edinburgh" The doctor says that
no tree Is immune, and the beech Is
struck quite as frequently as any other
species. Apparently the taller trees In
neighborhood are the ones most like
ly to be struck. Contrary to what is
believed by some people, the cells are
not ''ruptured or torn by the formation
Of steam, as might happen If the heat
ing by the electric current was very
great. The cells collapse and shrinl;
up, but are never torn" The root sys-
tenn does not seem to be ever damaged
by lightning.

of these parasites have been secured,
and at the right moment will be set

the moths do not recognize the para

presence grateful. They give of their
life to support the parasites, ard ul-

generosity. How similar this relation

resentment against the ungrateful para
