Prussian frightfulness is coming

This British ship OF $500 tons

his crew of Al had barely time to
get into the boats.
Flying timbers from the explo-

Jured the head of another. The
attack came at a. m, when most
of the crew were asleep and some
tumbled into the boats scantily
clad.
The German pirate popped up
for minute and was seen to be
a big craft bearing the number
102 or 112 on her coming tower.
For rs hours the Harpathian's
men were in their open boats with
insufficient food and water. AS
they rOwed for shore, they saw
two more German submarines.

The Pacific highway, over
which the trip is made, is re-
ported to be in excellent condi-
ton. The route is thru Olympia,
Tenino, Bucoda and Centralia.
Prof. s. L. Boothroyd of the
department of astronomy of the
University of Washington, abs
gone to Goldendale to observe the
total eclipse at the invitation of
the astronomers of the Lisk OBJ
servatory, who have set up in
struments thereS
Many Go to Goldendale
Goldendale is almost exactly
in the center of the path of total
ity that extends across the U. S.
from Washington, and some OF
the leading scientists of the coun-
try have decided, after careful
research of the government rec
ords regarding climatic condi-
tions, that observers who go to
Goldendale will have the greatest
chance of finding clear weather.
Acting on the theory the Lick
observatory station was estab-
lished at Goldendale, and the U.
S. weather bureau officels will
make observations there.
The Lick observatory eclipse
station was established May IS.

The most conspicuous thing at
