NEW OCEANIC SCHEDULE OUT
Cowell Will be on Ventura Bridge
Sierra Has Fine Trip---Sherman in
Tomorrow---FIarbor Notes

The arrival of the Oceanic liner
Sierra from San Francisco this morn.
ing marks the last time she will be
seen here until July %, the interven-
ing run being taken by the steamer
Sonoma of the same line.
Following this the Sierra will only
make her appearance in this port once
month, the intervening trips being
made by the Sonoma and Ventura of
the Oceanic fleet that are to take up
the running between San Francisco
and Australia, leaving the first named
port on July for the initial run.
This means a general revision of
sailing dates throughout and will also
mean a general change in the Oceanic
company's program to here. The
Sierra goes back to San Francisco
this time to, be placed on the drydock
and given a thorough overhauling and
cleaning.
Although nothing definite was known
on board this morning it was stated
that the crew of the Sierra will all
be laid off for six weeks in San Fran
cisco while the ship is being over
hauled. 1t was thought in this port
that most of the crew would be trans
ferred to the Sonoma, but it appears
that other arrangements have now
been made.
coweIl For Captain?
Chief Mate Cowell OF the Ventura,
and who is at the present time in
charge of that vessel, is slated for
the bridge when she pulls out on her
initial trip to Australia from San
Francisco on July 80. If the promo
ton is made the move will be a pop
ular one and his many friends are
hoping that he will be giving the
cast off orders when she clears the
coast port.
AS far as can be ascertained he is

GULLs AS WEATHER PROPHETS

Another storm is coming, predict
the seagulls. Hundreds of these
birds have been coming inland and
hoyered over the Milwaukee river il
the heart of the city. Most of the
time they few high, but occasionally
swooped down and splaahed the icy
waters with their wings.
Old residents who have noted the
flight of the gulls for many years
declare that when they come inland
from their harbor hau Is it invari-
ably indicates an approaching storm.
Their presence over the river was
noticed by many persons a few days
ago and may have betokened the
storm that arrived on Sunday

STRETCH YOURSELF.
Do II the First Thing After You Wake
In the Morninu.

A splendid thing for the body i:
stretching. When you first wake
up in the morning, take good, long
stretch Stretch the hands as fal
out sideways as possible Their
stretch them over the head as far as
you can reach. and at the same time
stretch the feet downward as far as
you can. Raise the feet and stretch
Upward just as high as you can, and
then lower the feet and legs very
slowly
When you get out of bed, raise
your arms over your head, and,
standing Oil tlptor. see how near YOU
can reach the ceiling Then walk
about the room while in this posi-
ton. Stand on the right foot and
stretch the RIGHT arm forward and
upward as high as you can, while at
the same time the left foot is raised
from the floor and stretched out
ward, and the left land is stretched
backward and downward. This is a
fine exercise for the whole body and
is especially good for the vast and
hips, making them firm and strong.
Standing on the left foot this exer-
else can be reversed.
If you have been sitting in the
same position for long time read
ing, studying, writing or sewing and
the muscles have b come tired and
cramped, tic best thing to do is to
get up and stretch. Stretch the
arms upward and outward and for
ward and backward Lift the shoul-
ders as high as you can and drop
them. Expand the chest and
breathe deeply, or. sitting in the
chair, stretch the hands upward, lift
the feet from the floor and stretch
them forward as far as possible,
any way so you give the muscles
good, vigorous stretch.
When one is very tired, there is
nothing more restful than stretch
ing the muscles and then relaxing.

IS HUMAN VACUUM CLEANER
Amanda's Economies In Line of Good
Housekeeping Have a ecrew
Loose

Long before the Introduction oi
the vacuum cleaner Amanda had
achieved by sheer persistence of arm
the energetic welding Of broom and
brush, the precise sesults accom-
plished by this excellent invention.
Her husband whimsically complains
that the house is always in process
Of renovation and seldom is a con-
dition which can be considered COM
Portable and livable, but he is mere
man and little can be expected Of
him. OF course, Amanda is Ill from
time to time, usually as the result Of
doing more than she ought. She has
headaches, backaches and nerves that
are on edge. Her sons slip out Of
the house in the evening because
they prefer to be where they are not
naproYed if they draw a chair from
Its place or leave newspaper on the
floor. Her daughters enjoy visiting
much more than staying at home,
and her maid seldom remains longer
than a week or two. She had nine
teen successive maids in a single
season. Somehow Amanda's econ
omies in the line of good housekeep-
ing have a screw loose. She observed
one day that she sympathized with
the women who liked to have her
house perfectly ordered and who
then wished that she could take her
family and live in the barn so that
the house need not be disturbed

PERIL OF VOLCANIC WAVES
Few dangers Moro Dreaded by Sail
ors Than Seismic Disturb
ances at Sea.

Occasionally there appears a great
wave sweeping across the calm sur
Aee Of the ocean in the fairess
weather and when no wind is blow
ing. There are few perils of the
sea to be more dreaded than such a
wave. Fortunately these are very
rare, yet more than once a ship has
encountered one.
The cause of these singular waves
is believed to be some disturbance
Of volcanic nature at the bottom of
the sea. Volcanoes exist in the
ocean as well as on land; in fact.
nearly all the volcanoes known are
on Or near the sea coast. It is easy
to see that an upheaval at the sea
bottom may start billow at the
surface Of the water, when we re-
member that huge waves have been
sent clear across the Pacific ocean to
San Francisco by volcanic shakings
OF the earth on the borders of Asia.
The world under water is not
only three times as extensive as that
which is covered only with air, but
1t possesses many of the same great
natural phenomena on a scale which
is perhaps proportionately vast, but
of whose existence we are made
aware only by such indications as
the volcanic ocean waves that ships
OCCASIONALLY encounter.

Didn't Suit WASHINGTON.

Until the early part of the last
century Milford, Conn, had house
in which Washington was said to
have spent night. It was in 1889,
when Washington made q tour Of
New England. Tradition says that
there were certain things abnt his
stay at the Milford tavern vAich he
did not enjoy. The supper set be-
fore him consisted of boiled meat
and potatoes. he was not pleased
with the meal and asked for a bowl
OF bread and milk. The landlord
brought the new order and broken
pewter spoon with which to eat
"Have you no better spoons than
this" asked General Washington.

swear that no one had entered The
window was tightly closed, yet there
right at my feet lay a half con-
sumed cigar with a great live coal
still glowing at the end. It seems
ridiculous to confess, but a thrill of
horror ran through me like a gal
vanic shock. A hallucination of any
kind is an appalling thing; it makes
no difference how grotesque or
homely the subject. It carries such
frightful suggestion of breakdown
in ones mental engine room.

Why He Bolted.

At one of the London clubs one
evening Mr. Montagu Williams met
Lord =, who had just lost his fa-
ther. The young lord was naturally
melancholy, and the lawyer pro-
posed visiting a theater opposite,
which proposition was accepted.
There was slight fire in the thea
ter, whereupon the young lord was
among the first to bolt, '1ike rab-
Bit" out of the building. Return
ing leisurely to the club, Mr.. Will
liams found there his young friend
quietly smoking q cigar.
"What on earth made you bolt
that way? You seemed frightened
out of your wits (not a difficult mat
ter perhaps). Don't you know that
on such an occasion if everybody
got up and rushed out panic would
ensue, with very likely fatal conse-
quences? Why on earth couldn't
you sit still, as / didp There was
nothing serious the matter" Upon
this, with the most patronizing air,
the young gentleman replied, ooh,
yes, that's very well for you, but
you've not just succeeded to Q peer

Some time ago there lived a reH.

Some time ago there lived q gen.
tleman of indolent habits who spent
bis time visiting among his friends
After wearing out his welcome in
his own neighborhood he thought
he would visit an old Quaker friend
some twenty Yiles distant. On bis
arrival he was cordially received by
the Quaker, who, thinking the Wis
itor had taken much pains to come
80 far to see him, treated him with q
great deal of attention and polite
ness for several days. As the Wis.,
itor showed no signs of leaving, the
Quaker became uneasy, bnt bore it
with patience until the eighth day,
when he said TO him:
"My friend, | am afraid thee will
never comc again.''
"Oh, y"s / SHALL" said the visitor.
II have enjoyed my visit very much
and shall certainly come again"
"But," sad the Quaker, 'if thee
will never leave how can thee come
again "-Philadelphia Ledger.

Strono Words.

Big words pass for sense with
some people and sometimes may te
very successfully used when nothing
else will answer, says an English
writer. Thus when a man, in great
alarm, ran to his minister to tell
him he could see spots on the sun
and thought the world must be COM
ing TO an end, ooh, don't be afraid"
said the good minister, "it's nothing
but a phantasmagoria." "Ts that
ALP" said the frightened man, and
then he went away relieved.
A very smart lawyer some time
since had the misfortune to lose
case for a client who had every res-
son to expect success. The client, q
plain old farmer, was astounded by
the long bill Of costs and, fastening
to the lawyers Office, said, 81
thought you told me we should GER
tainly gain that suit?" $50 l did,"
answered the lawyer, ''but, you see,
when / brought it up there before
the judges they said it was a quo
rum non judice." "Well, if they said
it was as bad as that" replied the
old farmer, 81 don't wonder we lost
it." And he paid the costs and q
big fee besides without another
murmur.
