LONDON, Nov. 21. — England has grown so accustomed to looking to the United tes for marvels of journal-| rprise that Londoners find it to realize that what is practi- 3 revolution in reporting has been inaugurated by one of their own papers. | A specch delivered by Joseph Chamber- | lain in Birmingham on Wednesday | night was read in the London Daily M exactly twenty-seven minutes after it was delivered. By means of the electrophone it was transmitted to the office of the Daily Mail, 113 miles distant, where it was re- peated to a staff of reporters, every word being clearly heard. The speech | was printed verbatim, and the paper | was selling on the streets in three minutes less than half an hour after, Mr. Chamberlain had ceased speaking. ! Telegraphic reports of the same| speech arrived in London more than an “ hour after the Daily Mall was on the street. The electrophone is the invention of | an Englishman. It is claimed for it that | it marks the beginning of a new era in | certain branches of newspaper work. Though' this was a remarkable jour- | nalistic feat, pointing to immensely useful development of the electrophone in the future, that instrument is not yet perfected for such a purpose. W‘hen] Mr. Chamberiain was speaking straight | before him his words were clearly audi- | ble, but when he turned to one side they became indistinct, and cheering and other interruptions from the audi- ence blurred them. spoke eighty Mr. Chamberlain minutes, and his speech contained ebout 10,000 words. Fifteen minutes | after he spoke the last word of the speech was in type in London. Mr. Harmsworth has adopted a novel method of advertising the Dally Mall. A member of his staff is booked for lectures throughout the United King- dom on “The Romance of a News- paper.” He will recount the history of the Dally Mail and show the inside | workings of the different departments.

CO LON CARRIES SUPPLIES TO PACIFIC SQUADRON AND A BIG WINE SHIPMENT Pacific Mail Company’s Steamship Sails for Panama With Large Cargo, the Bulk of It for New York and Consisting Largely of California Products—--Liner Takes About Sixty Passengers \ ABLE ANXIETY IS8 FELT. - SHIP TWO BROTHERS WHICH IS BEING TOWED FROM ASTORIA BY THE TUG SEA ROVER AND FOR WHOSE SAFETY CONSIDER- & The Pacific Mail Cdmpany’'s steam- ship Colon, which sailed yesterday for Panama and way ports, carried sup- plies and mail for the ships of the United States squadron now stationed at the isthmus. The Colon’s cargo of 25600 tops, mostly for New York, includ- ed 2100 barrels of California wine, 600 tons of fiour, 350 tons of lead and 400 tons of prunes. She carried about sixty passengers. Of these twenty-two ‘were Chinese. Among the others were C. D. Curry, D. Marshall, Arthur Finger, Thomas Rey- nolds, J. Cartler, P. J. Btack, G. W. Ault, J. Sullivan, W. G. Watson, F. M. Ballard, J.

News of the tug Sea Rover and her big tow, the ship Two Brothers, is awaited in marine circles with some anxiety. The Sea Rover left Astoria November 16 with the Two Brothers in tow. Since they left heavy south- easterly gales have been sweeping up the coast. The Two Brothers is towing down because it was found impossible to secure a crew for her. The sallors as & reason for their refusal to go in her claimed that the vessel was leak- ing and unseaworthy. In the event of her parting company with the Sea Rov- er she would be in a serious predica- | ment, not having on board enough men to handle her under sail. As the | weather has been unusually bad there is little doubt that Captain Dan Thompson has on his hands as big a contract as he ever tackled and every- body interested will feel easier when the Rover and her tow pass in through the Golden Gate, if they do. AR Overdue Hardwick Hall Ashore. The name of the British steamship Hardwick Hall, overdue from Delagoa Bay for Calcutta, was taken from the reinsurance board yesterday when M. A. Newell received a cablegram from London saying that the vessel was ashore at Parquharis. The other over- dues are quoted as follows: Charlonus, 10 per cent; Fifeshire, 45 per cent; Paris, 35 per cent; Cadwgan, 15 per cent; Lindisfarne, 10 per cent; Thalia, 85 per cent, and La Bruyere, 15 per cent.

THE POPULARITY OF OUTDOOR SPORTS === W\S NEVER MORE IN EVIDENCE THAN TO-DAY =— animal. DON'T DO IT. AT WORK" |Free Sunday, Nov. 29, 1903 The publisher of The Call, in anticipating the tendency of the times in giving more time to recreation, hunting and fishing, has acquired for their exclusive use a series of art pictures which will sérve as reminders during the busy months of those delightful days passed in the field. “At Work,” the title of the next Sunday Call’s offering, is a reproduc- tion from an oil painting by J. M. Tracy, an artist whose paintings of dogs have never been surpassed. Mr. Tracy had for the subject of this study the celebrated Llewellyn { setter, “RODERIGO,” who became famous in this country by his clean sweep of bench and fleld events. This picture, while it appeals strongly to those who know every point in a dog, is perhaps just as interesting to the many who love the faithful In handling, color and action, “At Work” is a most life-like study; a picture that, when framed, could with difficulty be distinguished from the original oil painting. To overloock this is to miss one of the best of the Sportsmen’s Series. ORDER THE CALL TO-DAY. Humboldt . Grays Harbor . Oyster Harbor San Pedro & Way Ports Humboldt ..

It is often known as Paraguay tea or mate. It is us- ually drunk as a hot infusion, through a metal tube, but may be taken like tea, with milk and sugar. Workmen take it with them wherever they go and sip it occasionally. Wood-cutters will work on it for five or six hours before breakfast, and the writer declares that, taken at night, it makes nursing, study, or what doctors call “night work,” real pleasure. Analysis does not explain these results, and lifelong and per- sistent use appears to have no evil con- sequences.—New York Commercial Ad- vertiser. = 0 o A ST R Usually the more law costs the less tice there is in it. OXYGEN MASKS FOR AERIAL NAVIGATORS Dr. Von Schroetler Declares That Alirship Men Must Use Mechani- cal Devices. BERLIN, Nov. 21L.—Future aerfal navi- gators desiring to attain great altitudes will use hermetically sealed double-walled aluminum and glass cages and before starting will put on oxygen masks, ac- cording to a prediction of Dr. Hermann von Schroetler of Vienna in a lecture be- fore the Berlin Soclety of Aerfal Naviga- tion. Dr. von Schroetler maintains that the physiological disturbances in the up- per atmosphere are due solely to lack of oxygen and he advised an early recourse | to oxygen inspiration before the bad ef- | fects of the poorer atmosphere are per- ceptible, calculating that the lungs re- ceive less oxygen from pure oxygen in an airship at a height of fourteen kilometers than from air at the surface owing to the diminished pressure, and 50 per cent less at nineteen kilometers, which necessitates inspiration under pressure. But this pressure is available only under certain restrictions owing to disturbances of the blood, hence the prediction made by Dr. von Schroetler. ——————— Gold Braid in Ohio.

According to a recent publication, there is no danger of Great Britain ex- periencing any shortage of blue blood for many years to come. The industri- ous author of this interesting but un- =« necessary werk is the Marquis of Ru- vigny, who has devoted his life to ‘he study of pedigrees. He has discovered that there are at least 11,723 prsons who are legitimate descendants of thre Kings—Edward IV and Henry VII of England and James III of Scotland. 1t is/ not pretended that the list i{s com- plete, so that those of us whe are omit- inadvertency. Indeed, it is estimated that the de- scendants of British royalty number 400,000. Thus the Marquis has only toucied the fringe of this extensive subject. The author has obligingly numbered each of the persons whose pedigree he has investigated, so that they may all see at a glance how near or how far they are from being at the head of the dynasty. No. 1 is Princess Louise of Bavaria, and she Is certifled by the law of primogeniture to be “the heiress of the Royal House of Stuart, etc., who but for the act of settlement would be de jure hereditario Queen of England, Scotland, France and Ire- land.” By the act of settlement of 1701 the Catholic sons of Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia, sister of Charles I, wers excluded from the throne, and the suc- cession was settled on the children of her Protestant daughter, the Electress of Hanover. ¥ By the same act the authority of the reople, as voiced by Parliament, to set- tle disputes as to the succession was af- firmed and recognized. Besides the Princess of Bavaria, the author places Don Carlos of Spain, dozens of conti- nental Princes and nobles, and hun- @reds of commoners ahead of our King, so far as the quality of their royal blood is concerned. All this serves to show what a lot of humor may be worked out of a very blue subject. The thought of a pretender nowadays even making a pretense is quite droll and amusing. It must be handy to know exactly where cne stands in the list of royal- ties, or how far the original azure fluid in our veins has been diluted by the common plebelan variety. The Duke of Devonshire, for instance, i3 numbered 3653 from the Princess of Bavaria, and there are lots of Smiths, Jones and Robinsons ahead of him. It ig the cus- tom of the sovereign to speak of his subjects as his trusty and well beloved cousins. If it does us any substantial good, we may all claim to be at least the thirty-second cousins of royalty, even without the authority of the Mer- quis of Ruvigny. 4 —_—— Northern Wheat Market. OREGON.
