Little did he dream that the wife of the young student, the mother of two boys, whose shouts he had often heard while passing the house, was the da ty coming to Oakland Larkin for- got this student acquaintance, who meantime was graduated from Cooper College and entered upon the practice of medicine. In June, 1903, after Lar- kin had been an inmate of the King's Miss L. Gilbert of Alameds visited the home to call upon one of the inmates, a friend of the old miner. She met Larkin, who, when he heard her name, remarked that he had a cousin of that name who, when he last heard of him, was living in Jowa. “Why,” said Mi Gilbert, “lowa was my father’s home."” Further conversation revealed the fact that the young lady was the daughter of Larkin's cousin, T. M. Gilbert, who had come to California several years working for the Southern Pacific Com- pany. On learning that Larkin had not heard from his family for several years Miss Gilbert wrote to a relative in this relative came the news that the aughter was married and was living in San Francisco. Miss Gilbert wrote to Mrs. Bissell and she the story. What was her surprise to discover that the old miner, whom she had several times visited in company with her husband, was her own father.

O. Stewart Given Eighteen Months in County Jail for Shooting W. S. Kennedy. OAKLAND, Aug. 29.—"I believe this man to be the unfortunate vietim of the habit of carrying a pistol,” said Judge Hall this morning when W. O. Stewart came up for sentence, having been convicted by a jury of assault with a deadly weapon for having shot W. 8. Kennedy in a quarrel over the | latetr's wife on the old Briggs ranch near Newark. Continuing his remarks, Judge Hall said: “The man has not impressed me as being a criminal. The jury did right in finding him guilty. This was in accordance with the testimonv. But the act was wholly unpremeditated and it was a coincident that he happened to have the pistol with him at the time he got into this trouble. I think that Jjustice will be served by a sentence of eighteen months in the County Jail instead of attaching the odium of a term in the State Prison, and I shall | 8o order.” —_——— Native Sons Give Theater Party.

The other bids were: Oakland Paving Company, $305.000; E. B. & A. L. Stone Company, $324,500; Pacific Construction Company, $397,973. The ontract for the work will not be let until September 6. In the meantime the bids will be investigated to see that they are according to the requirements. | The payment for the work has been provided for by special tax levy, and it ig expected that in three years the work will be finished. It is intended to make this one of the famous drives of the State. It will be a broad boulevard, 100 feet in width and twelve miles in length, and will follow the contour of the foothills at a sufficient elevation to give a magnificent view of the coun- try surrounding San Francisco Bay.

The corona of the sun—not the sun itself—weighs something like ,000,000 tons, so Professor August Svante Ar- rhenius of the University of Stockholm has discovered after making a visit to the great Lick Observatory at Mount Hamilton. Of course, Professor Arrhenius has not computed the weight of this enor- mous mass by any such insignificant scales as there are on this earth. The scales he did use are of the intellectual | kind, utilized in handling big problems and big figures. In other words, the scales were his brains and the tools were the atmosphere, the temperature | and the tele: I 1 . De or Arrhe To Profe: of the astronomers seems, isn’t much for the corona of the sun weigh. In fact, they are sur- prised that it is thus shown to be so exceedingly light, considering that it | occupies a space whose dimensions in every direction amount to several mil- lions of miles. Besides computing the weight of the corona Professor Arrhenius settled one other great problem that has puzzled the astronomers for a long time. This problem concerns the sources of the coronal light, over which two schools of astronomers disagreed. For instance, | Professor W. W. Campbell, director of | the Lick Observatory, and Astronomer Perrine, his assistant, held the view that the light of the inmer portions of the corona is due to the radiation from minute dust particles maintained at a temperature of incandescence by the | enormous heat of the adjacent solar surface, and that the light from the outer corona is composed mainly of sunlight reflected and diffracted by the colder dust particles composing this part of the corona. These conclusions were based upon the character of the spectrum of the corona. On the other hand the observers of the Smithsonian Institution measured the quantity of heat from the corona and were surprised to find that, even in the immediate proximity of solar surface the effective temperature was sub- | stantially that of thé room in which they were observing. held the view that the main source of light from the corona is not the in- candescence of the radiations are in the nature of an electrical discharge. Professor Arrhenius, h succeeded in harmonizing all sults of observations by showing that the particles in the region observed | must be at a temperature of about 5000 | degrees Fahrenheit and therefore must | be radiating Jight by virtue of their in- | candescence; but that the particles are so few and far between that the ef- fective temperature observed is not the temperature of the particles them- selves, but is the average temperature for the incandescent particles and the cold background of space upon which these particles are seen, here and there, in projection. The total area of the background covered by the particles in projection is but a minute fraction of the whole area. The spectroscopic and thermometric observations are completely harmonized by assuming that, in the part of the corona ob- served, there is but one minute dust particle for each fifteen cubic yards of space. however, ————— Kalisky at the Muzzle of a Revolver, Nathan Kalisky, an agent for the Old Mill Wine Company, when re- turning from the city to his residence at 217 Fourth avenue South at 10 o'clock yesterday forenoon was con- fronted by two highway robbers at the intersection of San Bruno and Cort- land avenues. The men were un- masked and in a most daring manner stepped out into the center of the driveway and commanded Kalisky to throw up his hands and pass out his money. This command was enforced at the muzzle of a revolver, which one of the highwaymen placed within a few fnches of the frightened man's face. The insolent command was promptly obeyed and $12 50 was politely handed | over to the man who accompanied the | fellow with the pistol. After securing the money the two men walked quietly away in one direc- tion, while the victim gathered up his lines and drove off in the opposite. He had no sooner got out of sight of the rcbbers than he called up Sergeant Lewis of the Potrero police station and informed him of his experience. The crime was at once reported to the Central police station and Captain of Detectives Martin placed two de- tectives on the track of the men.

Some time was consumed in reading the minutes of the two preceding meet- ings of the board. Following that came the submission of a report by Thomas W. Hickey of the Democratic County Committee. Mr. Hickey submitted a list of candidates that had beem in- dorsed by the County and State Cen- | tral committees for the positions of | election officers. President Roberts de- murred at accepting the list, as he in- timated it barred any Democrat who | might be willing to serve, but who did | not have the indorsement of the gov erning Democratic committees.

Rewards of $250 will be offered by the board for the arrest of any person vio- lating the election laws and $25 for any one destroying election property during the coming election.
