A Noble Flagpole

A fitting symbol of the mighty for
ests of the West is Astoria's f1agpole,
the tallest in the world, which floats
the Stars and Stripes PAL feet above
the Panama-Pacific exposition sea wall
at the corner of the Oregon building.
The stick, for it is a single stick of
timber, is actually 251 feet long, but 10
feet of the butt is embedded in 200
ton block of solid concrete which, with
out other stays. holds the pole upright
against the wind.
The pole was shaped from the trunk
of Douglas fir, which, as it originally
stood in the Oregon forest, lowered BAT
feet in the air, and might have matched
its height, though not in girth, against
any but the loftiest of the California
sequoias.
Looking up at the great flagstaff it is
hard to realize that it weighs upward
of 46 tons and that there is lumber
enough in it to build five ordinary eight
room houses. Its great height gives it
an appearance of slenderness and light
ness.
Just to transport this pole and set it
up. Russell Hawkins and citizens of
Astoria spent nearly enough thousands
of dollars to build several of the houses
its lumber might construct Fran

SKIN OF THE FRUIT.
lt 10 Wise Not to Eat Apples or Pears
Without Peelinq Them.

Some people say that an apple does
not taste right when the skin is re.
moved. Some even go so fur as to say
there is danger in eating fruit that has
come In contact with the steel of the
pairing knife, as the acid in the fruit is
apt to produce some poison when II
comes In contact with the metal. But
whether these things are true or not.
there is still greater danger In eating
apples without peeling them.
The skin of the apple has always
been more or less infested with germs
Of different types. and now our mod
ern methods of fighting insects by
spraying the trees are liable to leave
poisonous deposits on it which will do
our stomachs serious harm.
Arsenate of lead. lime and sulphur
wash and number of other spraying
compounds used by fruit growers have
been found to remain in considerable
quantities on the skin Of apples and
pears until ripe and placed on the mar
ket. The action Of such chemicals
upon the tissues of the human body
is very injurious.
Spraying the trees is giving us more
perfect fruit and getting the grower
better prices. but if you value your
health you should never eat apples or
pears without first removing the peels
